Chapter 20
Jun 21 XXXX
It has been five days since my lady's birthday.
I went out of my room and prepare for her breakfast.
As always, I make sure it was delicious and held no such things as disgusting.
Once I was in front of her door.
I knocked three times before opening my mouth.
"My La-"
"Get out. "
"but you haven't eate-"
"I SAID GET OUT! "
....
I stayed silent for a moment before putting her food on the floor.
"... I left your food outside of your room, please eat to replenish yourself. "
I waited, and waited but no such thing as an answer to what I said came in.
"... Ah... "
I almost slipped.
Thankfully I quickly put my arms on the walls.
-shhhhhh....... Uhhh...
I shake off my head and continue moving.
There was just one thing I wouldn't get my mind off.
How much pain does my lady experiencing right now?
... It was sudden but I remember she never even said I love you to master...
I remember the face of my master and my big sister.
".... Neither am I... "
.... This is painful... I never even said goodbye and never said what I wanted to say, and never explained what I truly felt.
That same goes for my lady too.
After all...
The most painful goodbyes are the thing that you couldn't say until it is already too late.
-huu... Khu... Yugh.... Sniff.... Heuk...
"ngh... "
I lean my body against the wall, with sweat on my back as well my head.
I stared at what seemed to be a long hallway, it is waving that it makes me vomit.
However I persevere, these things aren't affecting me...
"... I guess, I'll rest... "
I continue walking not minding the arms that ascending on the floor trying to pull me towards them.
One grabbed my left ankle but I continue walking.
I heard lots of cries, moaning in pain, shouting for forgiveness, and many things.
I walk and walk until I see my room, I don't know how many hours I have been walking.
There, I saw a grotesque humanoid standing in front of my room.
Its hollow eyes look like pure white and caught a glimpse of me.
Eyes widen before its mouth smiled widely, however, evilly.
I took a step back but soon calm myself for I know this isn't real.
It walks towards me and then speaks
-Are YyYOoUu OokKaAYy? ¿
"... Yes, I'm sorry for making you worry, why are you standing in my room? "
-.... IiI hHaAvE to ClLeAn YyoOuR RoOm.
Ah, so it was Ms. Lily.
"... I'm sorry, but you don't have to do it... "
-... Ca... 'T L., e yOu Al., E, YOoUrR RoOm.,., M.,. , s
I couldn't understand what she was saying and I just only nodded.
-ReEstT, YoOurR sSoO pPaAlLe...
"... Yes, I'm sorry... "
I bowed and went inside my room.
I quickly head towards my bed and those arms on the floor disappeared, I covered my eyes with my arm and inhale deeply before exhaling.
I felt something was touching my body when I look at it.
...
"sigh... "
Pale hands are grabbing each part of my body, gripping my maid's clothes.
I bit my lips until they bled.
"I can get past this. "
I force myself to sleep.
My master's Big sister and the other guild members failed to come home.
Of those top guilds who were forcibly joined, some of them lost loved ones, or comrades, and wiped out the whole guilds.
It was a disaster that will be written in history.
However, there were four guilds that none of the members died.
No one expected it, and no one suspected such a thing.
-Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!
-HhahAhHahHahahhahaHahHahHaahahHahahBaHahHa!!!!!!!!! ¡¡¡!
"Mephisto Guild, Archnel Guild, Groundhorn Guild, and... Cronus Guild.... "
These four are the top tyrants in the underworld.
Cronus guild as the now top 1 guild became more formidable.
"... Should I have a chance, I will kill that bastard. "
"Leader. "
"what is it Rin? "
I saw something that rise in the shadow, and I knew who was that person.
"Clark found something.... "
"Live it for tomorrow, right now is not great for me. "
"... Yes... "
As soon as she answer, Rin left.
I'm sorry but if you stay for too long I might end up killing you...
-KILL! Kill!!! Everything! DESTROY!!!
"aah... I want to kill... "
"... Should I go with one of the guilds??????????? "
I smile and get up, my room is something I couldn't describe anymore.
The once cute room that I love so much from the bottom of my heart is nowhere to be seen.
It's black, all black, the ceiling is black and the corner is as well.
But I saw... The place is changing its color.
It is slowly turning into dark red color.
That painful moan was soon changed into some sinister voice.
Ahh... I wonder how I look right now...
Kill....
I want to kill them....
Four guilds with no casualty?
Hehe...
Fufufufufufu...
Why?
Why?
Who's an idea to let top guilds go to that island?
"ah yes... Him... "
He needs to control everything once he becomes president right...?
And it is also worth it for his son's guild...
"hehe... Yes... Maybe that's what Rin wanted to inform me. I see.... Kufufuf... I see, I see~"
-HAHAHAHAH KILL!!! Devourrrr!!!
Really~
Humans are too cruel, isn't it?
And... Everyone has their dark side which leads to bad things happening, some more than others...
"... He was hailed for goodness... My... How spectacular~"
Hm~
-Let anger bloom inside of you! Hatred, Loathe! Grudge! Let it embrace you... And consume you.... Hehe... Come... I shall take you to....
"truly... Good and Evil are really a question of perspective... "
He...
Heheheh
Fufufufufufufuu....
"haa.... Hm? "
I saw a mirror.
There I saw a girl whose look is so angelic.
I don't recognize her.
She was sitting on my bed with some kind of dress that looks old.
A black hat for a pair maiden.
She has brown hair and brown eyes. In her legs, there was a dagger.
I stared at her.
There, she was smiling beautifully at the same time, the sun ray shone at her back illuminating her angelic face.
She drank tea out of nowhere after a second.
She looks at me and smiles innocently... Before saying...
"Don't be like me. "
She smiled at me and tilts her head, her eyes were full of fondness and adoration however there was sadness in them.
I blinked my eyes and now she was gone.
I stayed silent for a while, confused about what I had seen, nevertheless, I calm down.
"... Yes. "
But I couldn't help but said calmly.
I notice that I am fine now.
I don't know what just happen.
I forgot the face of that person.
All I know is her angelic voice.
"don't be like me... Huh... "
I don't know who was that person, I don't even know how she appeared in my room without me knowing.
But because of her, the side effect of my bloodline is gone...
"... Who is she, how? "
I look in the mirror...
I saw my face, my eyes that has tears flowing down my cheeks.
Since when did I start crying?
What's more, my bloodline side effect is not activating.
No...
This is weird...
"hik!!... "
I couldn't stop.
I shouldn't cry...
It will only get worst...
"huh.... Ugh... Sniff.... Hikk... "
Why... Why is this happening...
No... I should stop, later on, it might take effect again and it will only get worst...
But I couldn't stop crying...
I continue crying, I don't know how long I cried but surprisingly, my side effect did not come.
I was confused...
I stayed still in my room blankly staring at the floor.
I take my phone and contact Rin to come.
Moment later.
Rin appeared at the corner.
"Leader, Are you okay? "
"I'm okay now... So, what is this information you guys like to inform me? "
"Yes, while Clark just doing his hobby, he found some information.................... "
Rin explained to me everything... Everything that will affect our future.
Clark hacked through the Cronus guild and found some confidential files.
All its connections, crimes, and... Alliance for getting rid of Hestia guild who's former number 1 guild.
And also, Min infiltrated the Cardigan household after finding out about their connections to my matters guild.
There she heard the discussion of Owen Brein Cardigan, my lady's father, and her grandfather, Ferdinand Bren Cardigan.
They are planning to marry my lady to the Snowflakes family whose business is for the technology industry.
There was a lot of conspiracy that has been found...
Especially Ferdinand bren cardigan...
I clench my fist and calm myself.
"... So, that old man is really the one who plan that... And those three guilds are his accomplice... "
Robbery, human trafficking, smuggling... And many more that are not rare for underworld business.
"Leader, what should we do? "
"go hack through the snowflakes family's business, find their flaws, weaknesses, even if it's little. Contact them and say that if they accept a marriage proposal they wouldn't see their business flourishes anymore. "
"understood how about the cardigan family? "
"I'll handle it if I remember that old man wanted to become a president... That's not good, right? He is too old, he needs to rest."
"... Right. "
*
Knock, knock, knock.
"my lady, this Jun.... "
I waited for her shout but nothing came...
I tilted my head and soon worries came to me.
I decided to open the door but it was locked, I have no choice but to forcibly open it with my strength.
"If you excuse me. "
-Bang!
The door opened and it fell on the floor.
There I saw her room was in a mess and My lady is in her bed heavily panting with a reddish face.
"Lotte! "
I quickly put my hand on her forehead and she was heating up.
"cold? "
I quickly moved and take care of her.
Clean her room and put a cold towel on her head.
Then I waited... And waited.
Until I heard her saying something.
"...mama.... Why.... "
"... Lotte.... I'm sorry... "
I don't know what happens to that raid.
And I couldn't comfort my lady when I, myself failed to.
"I'm sorry... "
I utterly said.
I have no words for her to say but I could only do is to stay by her side until the day I die.
I took care of my lady until night without knowing when she will wake up.
Her cold is completely different from the cold I knew, I contacted Lily if she knew something.
She checked my lady's condition and found something wasn't wrong.
Amelia found out about her sister's situation so she tried to come but I blocked her and talk to her and explain why she couldn't come.
It was around 11:45 pm that I started to move.
I have to kill someone.
But this time, I am calm not like before whos driven out by emotions.
This is also the start of our lives taking a twisted turn.
