Isaac had clearly hired men to go after Josephine. Right before he had left, he had placed an item that she always brought which would be similar to a tag that would tell him where she is located at, allowing for those men to follow and hunt for her. He didn’t expect for someone who would look so similar to Josephine based on his master’s description. He took a moment of silence before bowing his head and leaving the room to find the bodies of the man that his master had took care of. Upon reaching the hallway, he found that it was indeed the four men he had hired. Their face was spared as their chests had been stabbed, making it easy for him to make sure it was indeed Josie who his master wanted to find for.

But why?!

Isaac had a bad feeling. He sped forward and bent down to find the item he had given toward the men which was a locket that would glow upon the time he got closer to Josie. As the locket was able to show direction, it was easier for him to follow her.

    Josie had not noticed what was wrong. She wasn't close enough to Cain to know while he was a cold man he wouldn't have brushed aside her questions thoughtlessly. She didn't know either that truthfully he has a scar on the back of his wrist that didn't appear when he had pushed aside the bushes that covered their path, neither was the fact that Cain was behaving strangely."Followed me?" She questioned again, still oblivious, "As I said, I thought you were asleep. Did you woke up when I was taken away by them?"Cain didn't respond that had her to hurry near him. "Wait, Cain," she called him for him to finally stop his hasty steps. She sighed out of relief as he finally took concern of her. He then turned his face with a deep frown making Josie to look at him in baffle."I know I'm slow but you don't have to look that angry..." she whispered to herself. "You do know that I was just kidnapped, don't you? I don't have much of energy. So while I know you are worried that I would be taken

He leaned forward, kissing her forehead and then her lips. “No Rose. You come first, before this event or even me. It’s only a ball party to show everyone that I’m still alive.”Rose smiled upon hearing how he make light of today’s ball when even the King had been invited, “You do know your royal cousin is coming today. If I suddenly become absent on today’s event, I will only put mud on your name.”“If as my cousin, he couldn’t understand that you are ill and instead blame you, then I will gladly stop calling him my cousin,” Dominic stayed firm with his choice, as to him Rose was far more important than anything. “So convince me that you really are healthy before we go

Her hair had been styled prettily, gone was the image of her past as a village girl. She looked no different to those ladies who were born in a noble family. She felt as though the person in mirror to be a stranger, yet familiar. "Beautiful," Lady Catherine recalled how the tall oval mirror was used by her daughter in the past. She also remembered how Elizabeth stood in front of it, smiling widely as she twirled her gown which overlap as Rose had done the same. Her tears seemed to have settled in the corner of her eyes as she relish the moment of longing.

    Starvos was alarmed as he saw the man had disappeared. While this girl looked oddly dangerous, the man had a more menacing vibe that one should avoid. He glared at Iris again only to feel the girl, Betty running after him. Her heels made no sound as she sprinted and by the time Starvos found her again, she was right beside his face. Her scythe went across Starvos arm, wanting to severe it and rendering him useless without the two working limbs. How happy was she to find the man hadn’t dodge her attack and had instead let his arm to guard his neck but she frowned as her scythe didn’t taste the blood of the werewolf. She looked again to find how his arm had become bigger and stronger, causing the blade to stop right at his skin, only drawing a slight trace of blood. “Tch werewolf,” she clicked her tongue and without hesitating she continued her swift attack, moving her left and right scythe before throwing it over to his neck.

    Rose only see this woman during the festival time and that was only once. Their first meeting happened suddenly, and during that time, Rose also thought the woman was well dressed; too well dressed even, for someone who was called to be crazy. Now, the woman had invited herself to the party and was dressed for the part, as though she was prepared to attend the party. Could someone who is crazy pulled such an action?"Just listen to me," the woman said in a low tone. Even though the music was so loud and it should have been difficult for anyone to hear each other's voice, especially when the woman had spoke in whispers, there was a strength hidden in the former's voice, making it hard for Wu SuYi to not hear what she had to say. "Throw every food that you find here. All the drinks, everything at once!"With the absurd request, Rose could now see why the woman was called insane by others. But the woman, who saw her face in pity frown, "No! I'm not here to ruin your party or to sound cra

    Now that they know the food and drinks were poisonous, Dominic had quickly alarmed the servants to do whatever it cost to stop bringing in more food to the party hall. It would have been foolish to believe the words of someone who they aren’t well acquainted with but Dominic believed in Rose and the gut feeling that he had been having this entire time. Something was wrong in this party. Someone who aren’t invited had waltzed themselves in their house. Entering the party again, Dominic took one of the wine that the servant had brought back to the kitchen. To avoid suspicion, he then said aloud, “Ladies and gentlemen, may I have a little of your attention for now?” Everyone’s eyes fell to him at once. Dominic didn’t have to shout too loudly as just one word from him had brought a stop to the conversation in the room. Thankfully, the King’s and his people had not arrived, making this easy for him, “Truthfully, my beloved grandparents have been preparing a little surprise for us. Today’

    Annoyed by Dominic's provocation, Natty rushed forward, throwing his scythe but the straight attack was too simple for Dominic to see. He easily dodged it only to feel his cheeks grazed by a cold blade. When he pulled away, his hand settled on his cheeks where he could feel blood from it. Dominic frowned and looked back at the scythe that appear to be holding a magic that could harm him. "Let's see if you can truly take care of two sorcerer alone," Natty screamed out his laughter that was so sharp to the point Rose had to cover her ears. The fight began again, this time there was not only Natty but the man on his left who looked as crazed as him. They both had rushed after Dominic using the same weapon. It was hard to believe that any of them are human with how fast they are that they could keep up with Dominic's superhuman speed. The moment the scythe fly toward him, he managed to avoid the one near his neck only to feel the blade had grazed his knee. Dominic who was cornered had

As soon after the incident, Dominic ruled out is father’s death and take over the duchy, being the new ruler of his fief. “Congratulation on your marriage, I apologize for being late with my words of happiness, Duke Dominic,” said one of the guest, Mr. Hanggs. “It’s nice to see you too, madam Rose.”“Pleasure to meet you,” Rose greeted the man’s words back. “How is the land now to you, Mr. Hanggs?” Dominic asked the wise man who seemed to be quiet. “It does feel different now.

    The ground shook and the impact of the explosion launched both Dominic and Rose backward. When Rose couldn’t hold him tighter anymore, she almost slipped from his back and fell. Seeing that, Dominic changed to his human form, capturing her body even though he was on air and shielded her in a tight hug as they roll down across the cold floor with a harsh thud. Both Shawn and Gallahan was thrown backward. They tried to nail their feet on the floor to no avail as the extreme explosion would had destroyed the entire land if not because of the shield that Gallahan had perfected for years from his life. The entire world turn black for a moment and by the time it turn brighter again, Shawn saw Gallahan who had sprawled across the floor and Balbazor who had been reduced into a scorched human corpse. Even after that however, Balbazor didn’t stop moving. He crawled with his body like a snake, disregarding how his fingers had been turned into ash. No one could ever see his features anymore, o

    Gallahan faced off Balbazor alone. It was a crazy feat to not even die after receiving the harmful attack that was made to eradicate humans and Gallahan’s performance so far have shocked everyone including Balbazor himself. “You are agile,” commented Balbazor. “But if this tentacles weren’t around me, I would have destroyed you in seconds by now.” “Making excuses now? When you killed my family with your curse, you were extremely silent. I’ll put that mouth of yours to rest too,” Gallahan quirked a smirked, urging anger and fuming Balbazor. The ancient demon opened his mouth again but this time, Gallahan had a smarter option. Rather than shielding himself, he rushed forward. Balbazor smiled, thinking how foolish this human is for coming on to him face to face but he was startled as he saw Gallahan had dodged his previous explosion attack. This time, Gallahan murmured a spell and a sharp blue light appeared from his hand which went straight directly to Balbazor’s thick neck. The an

    “Brother, are we not related?” Young Shawn’s voice echoed against his ears. Dominic looked down at the child that had overheard the conversation of the adult. Gently he wrapped his fingers around his brother’s little ones and gave him a gentle smile, “Does it matter? Nothing will change even if we aren’t related, you will always be my brother.”Back to the present, Dominic found himself yelling at Shawn’s name as Balbazor had thrown a powerful magic at them. Rose’s eyes snapped open, showing the glistening green eyes of her had changed into purple. At the same time she uttered her spell, the wall broke. Dominic took no chance. He jumped from the staircase, landing down his two feet as a wolf and ran after Shawn. Surprisingly, Gallahan had stood in front of Shawn, shielding them both from the explosion. “I told you to stay away child!” Gallahan yelled to Rose who had rebuilt the wall.“I can help you ease the miasma,” she said, convincing the man only to see him frowning in disagre

    When Dominic and Rose arrived at the foot of the door, they found that the glow of purple light had stopped and was quickly greeted by the roar of a monster. “It’s Balbazor, the ancient demon,” Rose explained, jumping down from his body. Dominic shook off his fur and turned into his human form, standing right beside her fully clothed. Although there are other pressing matter she couldn’t help and pointed out, “You can be clothed now?” “Hm?” Dominic looked down on himself, “Right I got taught by the other werewolves how to do that the last time we met.” Rose smiled, thinking how surely the relationship between him and his father had evolved into something closer where they could teach and talk to each other eye to eye. Seeing the progress, she felt moved. “Well what is with this Balbazor?” Dominic pushed the door open for her, they both entering the mansion only to feel the ground beneath them shaking. “He is the ancient demon who had formed contract with the first sorceress.

    Gallahan wasn’t daunted by the fact that Balbazor was more than fifth fold of him, looking even bigger and monstrous. Shawn could feel that demon had no pity or hesitation on him, willingly killing anyone who stood on his way. For a moment Shawn questioned how he could ever kill this monstrous being in front of him, finding it abhorrent that his entire instinct yelled that killing it would be close to impossible. Even coming near the monster he could feel the brimming heat that would burn his skin. “Shawn,” Gallahan called his attention to make sure the younger man wouldn’t feel daunted and eaten alive by his own fear. Shawn then watched Gallahan who in comparison seemed to be eagerly waiting for this chance to come his hand. It was something he had been waiting for a long time… finally he could avenge the death of his family who all ended due this demon’s twisted curse! “I want to kill you, you won’t even believe how much I have been looking forward to this day.

    Dominic’s silver eyes also noticed the swirl of purple glow from the black mansion and turned his head again to the view before him. “What did you and the Master talked about?” Inquired Dominic while they run through the forest. “I told him that I will do something about the demon inside Isaac if he could help me end my curse but then he surprised me by saying that he doesn’t need help.” Rose responded. “I trust him.” “I do think he is someone who wouldn’t hurt his fellow sorcerer, you weren’t wrong in trusting him,” Dominic encouraged her. “But that sound too good to be true. He always ask people for payment if he help them.” “He did ask for something, he said to continue fooling my demon, Babylion,” uttered Rose. “I asked him why and he told me so he could use Babylion to kill that ancient demon in response.”“So this entire charade is because of him.” Dominic narrowed his eyes. They can’t seem to trust the Master completely, that man would do anything if it means to fulfil his

    Shawn’s eyebrows furrowed as he saw a bright purple glow appearing from the room where the master and Isaac had fought in. As the master’s hand had been touched, Isaac had fulfilled his promise to erase the curse that plagued the Master. This should have call for a celebration regardless of the Master’s wish of never leaving the cave. But by fulfilling Isaac’s promise, the demon in him finally demanded for his reward and that reward was… for him to manifest into the world inside his body!When something suddenly clicked in his mind, Shawn bubbled out of anger.“Damn it! Damn it!” Shawn yelled, finally realizing the big mistake that he made by trusting that damn sorcerer king! He rushed out of the room, questioning everything that the sorcerer had done. He first of told him to imbue his magic on the crystal ball as if doing that would help. He said that by calming Isaac, he could convince him to drive out the demon inside. He also claimed that he wouldn’t kill Isaac thus why he had

    Rose could feel the dark magic that entered her skin, crawling in such a disgusting way that she wanted to hurl but she couldn’t. There was something that was stopping her from moving and she couldn’t understand it as it felt slightly different when compared to the demonic magic that he uses on her. “Rose, make my life more colorful, won’t you?” Whispered Babylion. “Now go and betray your beloved. I want to see his face twisting in pain. From your memories, he seemed to the most fun to mess with.” Rose wanted to say no, she wanted to yell and disagree with Babylion’s words but she couldn’t move. She then had the sudden idea to play by what Babylion wanted and nodded her head slowly, agreeing that she would betray Dominic while her eyes turning unfocused, looking exactly similar as to someone who had just been bewitched.“Good, now play with me.” Back to the present, Rose run through her thins hands between her hair and pushed the golden locks to the back of her head, she sighed hea
