“Do you?”
The dry voice of the lord clenched his heart. He felt the knot in his stomach and a heavy breath. The airway tightened his throat and he choked with sudden tears of guilt. His body quivered, it was not out of fear, it was full of guilt and the pain he witnessed.
He didn’t deserve mercy.
“I want to.” But please, for once, let him be selfish.
“I can save you from your own guilt. As long as you are with me, loyal to me, I will help you to go through your pain. So, do you wish to be my people?” She asked officially in front of a lot of witnesses.
When they thought again, it was a smart move because once Samuel took the oath, he became one of the lord’s people a
“After a great deal of consideration, I wish to be your great lord, give you a new path to flourishing,” she started, deliberately speaking slowly. “From now on, the werewolf territory will become part of Burning Town. The two towns have now become one.”A few disbelieved gasped, a ghost of chokes echoed around the hall. The people weren't able to comprehend her announcement. If it was true, the lord had served their justice.By conquering the werewolves' territory, the town could reclaim their old land again. It was a gift sent by heaven.“And so, I am planning to conquer all the towns around us.”The eyes of people were full of expectation yet rendered speechless, eventually. It the once the weakest town surrounded by four powe
The blood splattered everywhere. The walls, the ceiling, the floor, nonetheless. The walls were long split into a few parts. The closed rooms were now turned into one massive open hall with Shadow’s people filled in.The corpses scattered around, some even lost their parts. In the massive mansion, a rival to their lord, the owner was nowhere to be seen. Their black attires were now covered with blood and sweat mixing together.Over two years, the number of people who served under Shadow increased tremendously. After conquering the werewolves' territory, Shadow moved stealthily forward. Her decisive action and manipulation contributed to the plan the most.Conan, Samuel, Amel, Keira, and Elijah were her strongest members. Each had its own role.As Elijah was t
Shadow got out of the car as the soldiers greeted her left and right, bowing down. A long red carpet stretched long from the car until inside the main door of the mansion.She stepped on top of it, the dirt under the shoes left its own print. So she took the chance to scuff his shoe on the flooring without a care a few times.While doing so, Elijah straightened up the wrinkled attire of Shadow without being asked. As the leader of the soldiers, David acted as a chauffeur; he was perfect for the job.So, it pricked Shadow’s conscience to see he wasted his time with another pack of cigars.“Elijah,” she said with a smile under the mask.Elijah instinctively pried her hands off Shadow and put them behind
“Lord… there goes saying ‘a nice face is a punchable face’.” Samuel exhaled her scent.“Oh, intriguing. Tell me more.” The terror-stricken voice was suddenly eager to open.“Don’t you think his face is punchable?” Samuel snickered with his hungry gaze penetrating James’s eyes.Shadow studied the situation for a second before her cheekbones lifted up,” absolutely.”Samuel laughed his butt off like a madman. The memory of the punishment of the lord is fresh inside his brain. It was so satisfying to see the target flapping on the ground, screaming on top of their lungs, and having the trauma. It was so g
“I’ll… talk…”Shadow smirked under the mask.“Oh man!” Samuel visibly hated it. “No one ever lasts longer. Is the second phase terrified you the most?” He shouted angrily.“I… will… talk…” James huffed, glanced at the back with panic.“Oh, you’ve escaped the lake.”“It’s so big. What is that? It’s so big.” His eyes quivered in panic. “Purf!” Suddenly he vomited bile of blood on the floor.“Why so sudden?” Conan freaked out. Has anyone shot him?“Who? Pain… pain&
“Oh my… the presence of the lord is blinding me.” Samuel drastically fell on the floor with his hand on the forehead, moaned like a horny dog.“Our lord is a charmer…” Elijah played along and trailed her hand on the innocent window curtain, erotically.Shadow who was bare-faced, wet hair, and in tiger onesies batted her eyes tiredly. They were inside her workroom with her cute bunny slippers and one file in one hand.This file was the final file after sorting out the necessary information into one file and burning the rest. The result was that she had successfully compiled a lot of information in three days.She stood in the middle of the work with Samuel, Elijah, Conan, and Amel. Outside, it was dark, the black curtain draped the sk
“Say, answer the question for me will ya?”The driver named David chuckled while rolling a lollipop with one hand and another controlled the car steering. Her small dry voice sounded cute to everyone, it was for sure deadly to any of her victims and foes, however.Due to last-minute arrangements, Shadow decided to bring David instead of Conan. Conan’s job, while they were gone, was to overtake some of Elijah’s responsibilities. The only person who had experienced and someone that the lord put immense trust on.“Ye- yes?” James’s body flinched involuntarily whenever he listened to the voice. His body reacted due to the trauma.“Do you know the demon?”
The rest of the journey was so awkward. Took them another two hours to travel to the capital and to find a suitable place for her. Because of Elijah’s eagle eyes, they decided to enter the demon’s mansion instead of waiting for the final destination and moving around aimlessly.They pulled up early in the evening inside the mansion straight to the main entrance of the mansion. Not the gate, but the main entrance of the mansion. It was like a miracle to enter the territory of a demon without experiencing any resistance.Which at the same time, looked suspicious enough.“Look!” Shadow pointed her finger to the green garden at her left side.
