Chương 22: Attacks Of Malice To White's Mansion

Debora, the Black Annis had taken the appearance of a beautiful woman, the sharp claw on her both hands had also disappeared. It was the ability that the Black Annis have in order to take the guards down from humans and to escape from the human who captured them. A frightening power that labeled them as the vilest creature. 

The eyes rolled a few times, hinting that Ian had left the White's Mansion not long ago. 

"Good." Debora whispered, her beautiful face turned appalling from the curling smile that contorted her lips. The eyes rolled again, wanting Debora to give the reward she had mentioned beforehand. "Oh-" Debora chuckled, "-I forgot about our deal, well here is your reward." 

The eyes was anticipating the payment from Debora but saw her hand wrapping to his small body and gave it a firm squeeze to crush it.

She whispered. "Thank you, little one you did well." The chilling glint passed to her eyes as she laughed eerily again and heard Georgia from behind. 

"We have come, Debora. Did that Demon left yet?"

Debora looked at the gate of the house and turned back to see her fellow Black Annises crowding behind her in a group. "He has. We will move now. The house is dangerous, take the girl and quickly go."

When Georgia had moved however, the other Black Annises didn't move yet, they still looked a little hesitant. One of them who's very courageous spoke up for the fellow comrade. "What about the magical barrier in the Mansion? We will die before we enter the building if it is still active." 

Debora looked at her with irk and clicked her tongue. She exclaimed. "No need for futile worries, someone else had taken care of it! Now shut your mouth and go!" 

They all looked at each other. The worries on their face had faded into a spine-chilling wide smile. "Alright!"

Following their words, screams of the birds hanging on the tree riot. The Black Anises walked over to the entrance. Blood lust and droll seeping out from their smile as they entered the Mansion. The creatures roaming out of the forest were eerily somber in blood lust smearing over their beautiful faces.  A maid named Helena had just went out of the mansion with a broom to sweep the ground and walked over to see a group of beautiful women coming to the entrance but their faces had twisted into a vile smile. Instantly she felt chill running down to her blood when she saw such a murderous smile. "Danger!" She shouted.

Helena ran toward the Mansion, hoping that she would be able to find Austin who was left as the only guard at the Mansion. Debora's smile grew more appalling as she saw Helena running away with an aghast face and whispered to the woman beside her. 

"Kill them. Kill anyone in our way." 

Before Helena's hand touched the doorknob, the Black Annis used her claws to slashed her neck in a swift movement. Helena's eyes turn vacant when the blood coming off from her neck splattered over the Black Annis's face. The Black Annis licked the traces of blood over her upper lips and continued to enter the Mansion. 

 Austin and Elise were playing after the absence of Aryl who had to go with her friends. Making another flower crown, Elise looked at the lots of birds passing to the garden. 

"What is it, Elise?" Austin walked over to her. 

"The birds are crying." Elise pointed up the sky. For some reason, her heart felt an immense uneasiness as though something bad would happen now. 

Austin looked up and found it nothing wrong for the birds to fly from their nests in a group and only noted that there were quite too many birds in the forest. He replied lightly. "They're crying? Maybe they are onl-" Austin felt a threatening blood lust from the entranced and cursed under his lips. "Shit! Black Annises!" The Black Annises are creatures that loved to eat children but with these amounts, there was only one reason why they grouped out, the sweet child. 

The black dot on his yellowish eyes turned into a sharp oval when he sensed something coming over. "Elise, stand back!" 

Elise turned startled quickly to Curly's side but the dog growled to the delicate woman who appeared behind Elise. Georgia ran her index finger to Elise's cheeks and greeted pleasantly. 

"Good afternoon, sweet child." 

Austin snapped his eyes toward Georgia and ran to shield Elise from her. Fur grew out of his whole body. The muscles grew larger in size as his head turned into a tiger head. The clothes that he wore ripped apart to show his upper body that had black stripes on his gold fur. Sharp long canines protruded from his mouth. "Go away, you foul ugly creature!" He exclaimed, there was no sweetness nor gentleness that he used to have as he talked with Elise. 

A muscle on Georgia's face twitched from being called ugly twice, her smile stale as her beautiful face crumbled like a chalky paint from the wall, showing the blue skin wrinkly drought skin and a large bumpy nose. Her slender hand became one with the fingernails on her hand, making it look like a beast's claw to Elise's eyes. 

Elise walked a few steps behind, afraid by the blue creature that towered in front of her. Everything surrounding the appearance of Georgia was blood-curdling and frightening.

Without exchanging a single word, Georgia ran to charge to Austin using her claw. The attack was fierce but nevertheless futile in front of Austin. Austin saw a blind spot when he evaded the attacks from Georgia. With a faint smile, he stretched out his hand to pierce the rib cage and took out her heart to burst it. 

Before he was able to draw out a sigh, he felt a slash from another Black Annis behind him and when he turned around, he saw that not only a handful of Black Annises were there, but he could also smell the scent of blood from the Mansion. 

"Elise!" Austin shouted and the girl was quick to understand what he cued and hid behind his guarding perimeter. 

Fighting without the help of the rest of his subordinates was certainly hard and the Black Annises wasn't a stupid creature without a brain. They were sly and would use whatever it means to capture their prey. Even though Austin was sure he could take care of them, he wasn't sure whether he could do that while protecting Elise alone. 

In between his fight, he used an arm to sweep all the Black Anises in front of him and mouth to bite their necks. He lowered his face to the little girl and whispered. "Elise, go to Lord Ian's room. In the second drawer under his desk, you should find a large stone. It's a communication stone, call the Lord if you could." 

Elise was afraid. She could feel her head grew faint when she saw the bloodied bodies that lay in front of her, but Austin now is in great danger and she was bright to understand her presence only dragged Austin's legs. 

"Don't worry, Cerbe- Curly will help you if you find any trouble. When I say Go, run with your fastest speed, understand?"

Elise hurriedly nodded, her hands were trembling and she could feel tears layering her eyes. Austin cleaned and munched down the Black Anises on his way with his mouth before spitting it out and exclaimed. 

"Go!" 

Elise held Curly in her hand and ran to the mansion from the back door. When she entered, a sight of a dead maid laying on the hallway frightened her to near death. Curly barked once to wake her up from the fear and Elise began to run to the second floor without meeting a single Black Annis on her way. Elise was about to gratefully thank God but her naive wish ended when she saw a beautiful woman that was clearly out of the place standing outside Ian's room. 

"Oh my, what do we found here? The sweet child is greeting me." Debora smiled walking a few steps toward Elise when the girl took steps to the back.

Elise felt her throat parched as though sand stuck on her neck when she noticed blood dripping from Debora's hand that she hid behind her back and not a single voice could come out from her lips. She sneakily stole a glance toward Ian's room on her left. A little more and she could enter the room. She needed to enter the room in haste now as Austin must be having great trouble handling the Black Annis but with the woman in front of her, she had nothing to protect herself from the woman. 

Being able to enter the room now would only be a stroke of sheer luck for her and that didn't seem to be taking place. Debora noticed the large eyes fishing at the door. A shrilling voice slipped under her lips, "Do you want to enter here, sweet child?" 

Elise didn't reply anything and Debora dropped her smile. "It would seem that you have known who I am. Have you met my comrade from outside?" As she spoke, the face crumbled again in a chilling way that made Elise shivered from disgust. 

"You have to choose now sweet child. Come here or I will come for you." Debora didn't give her a choice, it was a threat that she would kill her if she didn't come to her with her own will. 

Elise took a step back slightly to have Curly jumping down from her arm. "Curly!" she exclaimed and saw Curly running straight to Black Annis to bare his fangs. 

"How foolish!" Debora shouted to thrust her claw straight to the dog's body but suddenly, the Dog grew larger with his three heads protruding. Debora collapsed to the floor behind her and spoke in horror. "C- Cerberus!" 

Curly didn't care what Debora said and brought his mouth forward to eat the ugly creature. A loud dying scream entered the Mansion, warning the rest of the Black Annis of the death of their comrade. Elise immediately threw her sight away from the gore and ran toward Ian's door to open it and entered the place. She followed Austin's words, trotted to the desk and pulled the second drawer to take a large red stone from the desk. 

Austin said to communicate, but she couldn't understand how it works. After a few seconds of contemplation, she heard growlings from Cerberus who had found another Black Anises running to attack them. 

"M- Master-" she whispered and forced herself to speak a little louder. "Master Ian!" 

"What is it?" Ian's voice came across. He was still in the middle of the road to attend Mr. Brown's party and drew his brow into a frown when he noticed it was Elise's voice. "Puppy?" 

"P- Please save Austin." Tears ran down her cheek as she pleaded. 

Ian noticed the fear and chaotic mix of fright from the girl's voice and even though he couldn't see her tears, he could feel the same feeling of anger overlapping his dead heart. Red mists appeared from his feet and in a split of a second, the red mist had taken over half of his bodies and transferred it behind Elise. 

"Where are they?" A cold-blooded voice came from his lips. His red eyes vacant from feelings, in dire to see death to its seeker. 

"In front-" Elise sobbed, the relief came over her as she lost her power to walk again. The blood and the frightening scene repeated over to her head, making her whole body to tremble from ineffable dread.

"Stay here, don't come out of the room until I came back," Ian spoke as he walked out of his room and was quickly greeted by the Cerberus he brought back from the underworld. "Go back." The Cerberus heard his order and shrunk back to his small body. "Stay here and eat every enemy who came here."

"Woof!" Cerberus agreed and sat as the watchdog.

A few steps as Ian walked down the hallway, he smelled the thick fragrance of blood from the backyard. Austin must be there, he thought to himself to narrow his eyes slightly. A Black Annis came charging toward him when she spotted someone walking down the curving stair. Ian slipped off a thrilling smile as he cut down ripped off the Black Annis's claws. The Black Annis resonated a loud cry but before she could understand what was happening Ian had ripped off her head from the body and threw it across the floor.

He wiped the blood splatter on his face and looked toward Debora. "We have the head here." Ian commented to see Debora holding a disorientated face. The color of her beautiful pale skin flickered between black and white from surprise, an ugly sight to behold.

"Everyone attack him! He's alone and defenseless now!" Debora ordered with a shout. They hesitantly looked at each other and cooperated to attack.

"Defenseless?" Ian chuckled, showing his hand to catch the head of the Black Annis and tore it off again. "My hands are more than enough for you."

The Black Annises kept on attacking and Ian mercilessly killed them by ripping out their head. It took him less than three minutes to kill eight of the Black Annises. Debora stood alone in the middle she had lost her composure and could only step back in fear.

"What are you waiting for?" Ian provoked.

Debora's beautiful face shattered like chalk, turning it to a blue wrinkly skin with a long bumpy nose. "How ugly." Ian berated wholeheartedly.

"Don't call me ugly!" Debora used her last power to ran and stab him with her claw. Ian grinned and captured her slender neck in an instant. She was frozen stiff as her movement was halted from the firm grip on her hand.

"W- Wait!" The Black Annis reformed back to its beautiful appearance and pleaded using her delicate teary eyes. "Please let me go. I can do anything, whatever you say. We can have a great time together."

Debora was surely good at her works, attaining a very beautiful face she knew how to hone her skill. If it was used to male humans, they would have fallen to her trap and abide by their sexual urges, but Ian wasn't a human and he wasn't in the mood to play with their games. "Unfortunately, I have no taste for a wrinkly, old, and blue-skinned woman."

As he spoked, Ian shredded her head and rolled it down to the floor. With a sigh, a red mist appeared to swallow his body and teleported him to the garden. Austin noticed the Lord's presence and smile in delight. "My Lord!"

"Dumb cat, I should have exchange you for a dog!" Ian uttered sourly and saw the soulless bodies laying on the floor to participate in the bloodshed.

Sun was about to start going down by the time Ian opened the door to his room. Elise had been hiding in the corner of the room while hugging her trembling knees in the cold ground. When she spotted Ian, her small body stood up immediately to only slumped down forward. Ian reached out his hand instinctively, taking a hold of the petite body in with one palm. "Calm down. Austin didn't die and you are saved now." He comforted carefully.

"R- really?" Elise's tears ran down from the rim of her eyes in relief.

He confirmed. "Yes."

The little puppy was too mysterious for him. When he saw her hurt, rage boiled down his blood, revealing a feeling that he never thought he had before. It was odd, the girl was odd, he concluded, not wanting to dwell on his hollow heart.

Austin had turned back into his human form with a torn shirt and entered the room to see Ian carrying Elise in one hand toward the lounge chair. "Austin." He heard the Lord called his name and straightened his form to a bow.

"Clean the house, call in the servants, and confirmed the death tell the Church of what had taken place in the Mansion." Austin didn't dwell long and fastened his steps to go down his lord's order. As he passed his order, the raven came beside him and took a rest at his shoulder. "Cynthia, I'm back at the Mansion cancel the trip come back here."

Cynthia and Maroon who took a rest immediately after the Lord disappeared received Ian's words and breathed out in relief. "Yes, milord we will now."

"Come here." This time Ian's words were directed to Elise. She trotted over to him and had him carrying her on his hand. He swept his hand over her eyes and made her fall to sleep so she could stay calm for now. 

When the evening ended and the Sun set down to bring darkness to the Mansion. Ian sat down in his office with his two aids and butler. He swept his eyes and muttered out. "Someone had broken the protection magic to my mansion, helping the hideous ugly creatures to destroy my mansion. How irritating."

Yet when he stated "irritating" but his face had some mirth and dark amusement brimming to his eyes. The three people shook their heads. They still couldn't understand what was happening in hell's name inside Ian's mind. 

Austin wondered and spoke up. "But, my lord. Your protection magic is the strongest in the Empire, isn't it? How could they break you magic without you knowing? " 

Of course, there was a way. For someone to break the protection magic he gave seamlessly without making him noticing it until someone had to actually inform him first. There was a way but that one way is very despicable that most humans wouldn't be able to think such a hideous way. 

Ian leaned to his chair and chuckled faintly. "There's only one way, human sacrifice."

Cynthia drew her brows to a concentration. To use human sacrifice as the base of their magic and break Ian's magic, there's only one being that would use sacrifices like cutting butter, the dark sorcerers. "It's the dark sorcerer work again." Her words were sharp as dagger.

"Correct." Ian returned. "Meaning they have dared to put their dirty soles in my Land."

"Is their objective, Elise, Milord?" Austin questioned the obvious.

"There isn't anything far valuable than Elise here in our house." Ian confirmed, standing up from his seat, he walked to take his cigar out from the second shelf of his desk.

"Then," Cynthia added. "If Elise is their objective, it meant they know that she is the sweet child. Then wouldn't it be the best for us to strengthen the protective magic in the mansion, my lord?"

"I've planned that, having rats setting their feet in my mansion is something I utterly dislike after all." Blowing out a smoke from his lips, Ian turned his eyes to have his lucid red eyes reflected back the light from the candle across him. "I guess you know what your works are now, I assume?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Of course."

"Good." He sat on his desk, crossing his legs. "You can go now and tell Maroon, in estimation of five days, we will be having a troublesome guests." Cynthia and Austin bowed to exit the room while Ian sat there silently, having a vacant look upon his gaze.


Chương 23: Tied In Faith Since Birth

When the night arrived, Elise felt uneasy to sleep that no matter how much Mila read her night tales, she couldn't close her eyes. When he closed her eyes, the image of bodies overlapped in her mind, making her hand tremble. Nearly finishing the last page to the book, Mila noticed the corner of Elise's lips sliding down and offered her something to relax her out.

"Do you want honeyed milk? It's good to have a warm one before you sleep." Elise shook her head in return, pulling her quilt to cover half of her lower face she heard Mil proposing another offer, " then, do you want to hear a lullaby?"

Elise became a little intrigued. She faces up to pull the quilt that brought her bandaged cheeks, making Mila look sadly on her wound. "What is Lullaby?"

"It is a song for children to hear so they could sleep, dear. This one is called The Silver Moon, do you want to hear it?"

"I do," Elise replied and felt Mila's hands caressing her head forward and backward. Between Mila's lips, a delicate voice filled the silent night.

The moon besides the clouds,

Oh, where are you hiding at?

Playing hide and seek with the clouds,

Lighting the green field in the night.

The flower glowing under the moon,

Purple in color, beautiful to see.

Faeries flying with their wings,

Jumping to a step and twirling to dance.

Mermaid singing to the Sea,

Covered the ocean with their voices.

Mother's voice was soft and pure,

Bringing land to see for the boy.

It's time to go back to your sleep and wish a good night to the moon.

By the end of Mila's lullaby, Elise had gone to her dreamland, having her game to play while flying to the moon with Mila's song. Mila stood beside, taking the candle and whispered, "Good night, Elise." She blew the candle and exited the room.

Ian came back to White's Mansion by midnight. His hair was disheveled by the harsh wind that blew over his hair. He swept his hair to the back and took off his coat to the servant beside him. The White's Mansion had a lingering scent of blood of the Black Annises and servant who lost their lives in the massacre. Stains on the floor and walls seemed to have been erased by the other maids, however, traces of blood couldn't disappear that easily.

"Milord." Austin bowed to greet him from the entrance.

"Where's the girl?" Ian walked forward to ascend the staircase languidly.

"In her room, Elise had finally slept. It seems she is very frightened of what she saw this afternoon."

Ian opened the door of Elise room and entered alone. In the middle of darkness, the pair of red eyes glowed in the darkness, stopping when he arrived at the bedside. Elise whimpered in her sleep. Ian placed his cold hands over her forehead and sunk into a thread of thoughts. Black Annises couldn't possibly breach through the magic shield that he planted on the Mansion.

Being the strongest sorcerer of the Empire, there was only one suspect who could be working with the Black Annises, the dark sorcerers. He tapped his hand and walked out of the room to have his raven flying over to his shoulder. He glanced over his shoulder away from the raven to the large moon. The night has begun and it was the time for the girl to leave, he thought silently.

Three days after the incident, the people from the Church came to knock on the White's Mansion. Maroon, who had been waiting for their arrival, ushered them to the Lord to the drawing room.

In the middle of the room, a painting of the Lord was placed. Written below, the year it was painted, the youngest Churchman, Oliver glanced at the picture in a little awestruck. Having not to see the Lord before, judging by the picture he must have been an important person with an overbearing pressure in his airs.

Maroon opened the door for the man in question to come inside the room. His red eyes stared at them, the first one to the person with a bald head that he knew better than anyone else, Kyle, And other two younglings churchmen that he never saw before.

"Good afternoon my lord. Our apologies for taking your precious time." Kyle spoke first standing up to greet Ian.

Ian raised his hand over them, "Oh, it's nothing to apologize for. Please have a seat, Kyle." he returned his smile and turned to the side to order Maroon to prepare tea for the churchmen.

He glanced at Kyle and to the other two men before sighing a laugh. "And what honor do I have to be having the accompany of the Churchmen here? Surely the Church wouldn't pay a visit to me for something like a greeting, right?" Kyle replied his sarcasm easily with a laugh.

Ian glanced over Oliver's cross tattoo on his neck and murmured loud enough for them to hear, "The hunters to kill mythical beings. Two to top." the red eyes turned back over Kyle, sending chill in a gentle smile. "I don't think two is enough for me though. You should have brought an army of them and sorcerers while you are at it to take me down. A million isn't enough so I will recommend you to have more than all the army you have in the empire." He spoke in bold conviction with a somewhat amusing tone as though he was thinking how amusing it is to have the whole empire fight with him.

Kyle knew that his words weren't only a burst of confidence but a warning to them. Still holding to his seat, he who has been assigned to Ian White since he was eighteen knew exactly how to amuse him. "This two is only my students, new men that are still taking lessons under me they didn't come here to constrict you."

"Is that so?" Ian crossed his legs, uninterested by Kyle's explanation. "Let's get back to the matter. What is it that you need with me?" he feigned his innocent in a good way that the greenhorn churchmen fooled by him.

"I will be brief, Lord Ian it is about the slave that you brought and the attack." Kyle started, reading in between Ian's poker face as he did so. "The human slave that you brought back to your mansion. Alex has relaid the information to the Church. However, for bringing a human at such a young age without her consent to the land of Mythical Beings. I presume you do know that it violated the Church's rule?"

Ian faintly chuckled and leaned his head to the side. "That child is my slave, and do I need any permission from anyone to take in my belongings?"

His words were right on the mark. Elise was a slave and normally a slave wouldn't have any humans right, but the reason why the Church insisted on this was that Elise is the Sweet Child. The little being that is loved by faeries. Her power hasn't manifested yet due to her young age, but when she had come to age, Elise could order the faeries all over the Empire to abide to her wish. Even if it meant for them to erase a Land from the map. Knowing that having The Sweet Child in the Demon's captive wouldn't do well on them. They feared that he would use the little girl to work on his bad deeds.

"Unfortunately, Lord Ian- that girl isn't a normal young girl. The Church can't have her outside their protection."

Ian raised his brows from Kyle's words. "You meant that I would harm her? She has been living very healthy here. So healthy that now she's able to speak again."

"May we see the girl, milord?" Kyle gave a question, but even if Ian disagree he would have stood firmly on his words. He still has one thing that could protect and bring the girl out of the mansion. Only one last trump card.

"Alright." Ian replied to cue Maroon to come back and bring Elise to the room.

When the girl entered, Kyle had a different smile than how he used it when he talked to Ian. "Hello, dear." Elise timidly hid behind Ian's coach and greeted in a murmur. "Hello."

From the side, the hunter named Oliver had taken off the gloves from his hand and used his power to the girl. After a pause, he fixed the gloves back and confirmed. "She is The Sweet Child, Kyle."

Kyle looked to see whether there were any markings or slave tattoos on her body but from what he saw he couldn't find any. Good chance, Kyle had his whole rejoice written to his face when he saw there wasn't a visible slave tattoo that works to bound the slaves with their master. But he didn't want to be too confident and turned again to Oliver for him to check. "Did you find the slave pact?"

Oliver shook his head, swiftly brushing his eyes at Ian who still didn't have any changes from his expression and returned. "It hasn't been formed yet."

"If I may be rude, Lord Ian. The Sweet Child living with you wouldn't be good for her safety and growth." Kyle began his persuasion again. This time, he spoke more confidently when he saw there's a gap of chance.

Ian's crimson eyes layered a cold filter upon it, saying nothing as a reply. Taking advantage of the silence that Ian gave, Kyle continued with his rational report. "She is a human my lord. And a human should live with another human. From the information that we got, her parents have died and the one who sold her was her aunt."

Ian tapped his finger. "By this, what are you implying? You said that she should live with humans, but you said that her families didn't want her."

"Adoption, milord. We have two choices for the girl. First being adoption and the second to live in the Church and follow the path of a nun."

Ian leaned his head to the churchmen and turned to the girl. He spoke piercingly. "You do know that this wouldn't be favorable for the girl, don't you?"

Kyle agreed deep in his heart, but work is a work, he couldn't mix his private feeling in it. "Please let the girl choose." his eyes moved at Elise.

The Sweet Child is a title that would soon other mythical beings would do anything to covet her power privately. She had been harmed once and he couldn't promise that it would never happen twice. Giving a sigh, Ian made his choice. "For the adoption, I will be the once choosing her family."

"This choice should be made by the girl, Lord Ian." Kyle firmly repeated.

Ian grinned coldly. "I have said once I will be the one to do it. Don't make me repeat it."

Kyle glanced at his expression, trying to read his impregnable expression. Ian was already in a bad mood, having to deal with him in his bad mood would make Kyle to lose something such as his life. Reluctantly, he agreed.

"I understand." The churchmen stood from the seat, "We would be bringing the child with us now until you have chosen her foster house."

"Wait in the carriage." Ian ordered and saw the Churchmen leaving the drawing room in a swish.

When the door was locked firmly, Elise who could partly understand what Ian and the men were talking, knew that she would be thrown again from the house and hold back her tears prominently.

"Don't cry." Ian gave his comfort but hearing it only worsened Elise's sadness. "Did you forgot what I said? If you have something to be sad about, tell me all about it. I can't understand if you didn't say so."

Elise looked up, tears wet her eyes making the rim of her eyes bright red. "Are you going to abandon me?"

"I'm not. As the humans that came before said, living here wouldn't be good for you." Ian sighed at her tears that couldn't stop and glanced to the right where Aryl had been flying about since before. "You would be coming with her?"

Aryl didn't want to waste a breath to talk with the disgusting beings but she humped to reply. "Of course!"

"Even if she can't see you. Take good care of her." Ian for the first time made a request that shook Aryl in disbelief.

"Without you saying it, I will be doing that perfectly! Who do you think I am anyway?" She turned and flew across to Elise.

"You're no one." Ian returned to have the Sulix cussing at him.

Maroon knocked on the door, bringing two leathered trunks with him that was filled with Elise's dresses.

"You should be going now." Ian said as he took the girl's hand and placed the red bracelet that he took off before to seal her power.

Elise cried and hugged his shoulders as she sobbed. "Please don't leave me."

He never knew he was this helpless to the cryings that the little puppy gave. With a sigh, he patted her head. "I am not leaving you. If you still remember me, you can come back." Elise glanced up and saw him smirking. "That is out of your own violation and consent."

Cynthia and Austin stood across the door after receiving the words from Maroon that Elise would be leaving the house. "Bring her now, Cynthia. We shouldn't make those people outside to wait."

Cynthia looked at her heartless Lord and took Elise from him on her arm, comforting her not to cry before leaving the room. Ian leaned to his couch, closing his eyes he could see Elise on the entrance hugging Austin, Cynthia, Mila, and Maroon with tears before coming together with Kyle.

As he was watching the scene, the raven that had been watching them since before in the room flew to his side and spoke.

"What would you be doing now that the girl has been taken? She's the one who has been prophesied by the God to be your bride." The raven snapped his head to the side as he spoke in a human language.

Ian lazily opened his eyes at his raven who had been intercepted by someone irritating and frowned. "Would you mind, not communicating from my pet, Beelzebub?"

Beelzebub continued to speak by using the raven to scoff at his word and pulled his question back. "So?"

"I have not said that I will take her as my bride, didn't I? She's a child. Still a child." Ian pointed out his distaste. He wasn't someone who would take a child to his bed, just by imagining it made him want to throw up.

"But you haven't said that there is zero possibility that you would take her as your bride. And is that's why you sent her away? Even if you took a grandmother as your bride now she would be a little child to you." Beelzebub sneered, a sloping tone came at the end of his sentence.

"I didn't mean it that way, fool. I let her go now because our fate hadn't yet started to intertwined. Also I don't see that i have any feeling with the girl at all. She was just like a small animal, a puppy." Ian switched his legs position, leaning his chin on his left arm languidly and chuckled. "But well, I thought I had said earlier that she's a guest, didn't I?"

Beelzebub suddenly recalled something and called up. "Wait- Why didn't you place the slave pact to the little girl? Even though you know that could be the only thing that ties her down to you? I don't think you are foolish enough not to place the slave pact to the girl. Isn't this precisely because you know this-?"

He was startled by his own question and instantly exclaimed from epiphany. "You read the future?" Beelzebub was rather surprised by his own words.

"I can only see that she's leaving. The rest is blank. Also, slave pact isn't something desirable."

"Regardless of the pact, she's the one human who had been tied in fate with you since birth, you know. Even though now you see her nothing but a puppy what about the future? It would be certainly a very fun play to see you fall for a human girl like the prophecy."

"Oh, just shut up." Ian drew out his breath again to stand up and walked over to the raven. "Let's stop talking here. If you came back from deepest of hell later, I will consider us to talk again."

"Wa-!"

Before Beelzebub could continue, Ian snapped his fingers taking away the magic that Beelzebub used on the raven. He continued his step languidly, bringing it to the window to see the sky turning to the color of sunset that reminded him of Elise's hair.

He placed his hand on the window, with eyes deeply detest the sky and clicked his tongue. "God's prophecy. As always, you place me with your game of fate." He cursed between his breath, ending the night in which Elise had left the White's Mansion.
