Chapter 35: Kristine II

"I'm just here, everything will be fine too. I will never leave you again." the language is Gaunt.

He stared at Kristine unconscious and cold. He could not count how many blankets he had wrapped around its body. He held her hand. She was still cold. He had an idea. He used a little power on his body and after that he leaned over Kristine and hugged her. He made sure it was locked in his arms.

"I don't know what you have and you make me like this." Gaunt's weak language.

He looked at Kristine's face and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was relieved by what he had done. He stroked her cheek and she smiled. Even if he just looks at Kristine's face like this, he already feels happy. He could not understand himself, is he so shallow now? He gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.

Kristine sighed. She could not understand how she was feeling. Hot... But that heat, seemed to make her comfortable. She could not understand but she felt very safe. Then she remembered that she had not left the maze garden before and she was soaked in the rain. Because of the extreme cold, she seemed to have lost consciousness and she could not remember anything. Is she dead and in heaven?! She slowly opened her eyes and first, she saw the face of the person she did not expect to see. It smiled at her sparingly.

"Hello, sleepy head... You worried me a lot. Do you know that?" its tender language.

She frowned. What is he worried about?! Isn't this the culprit why she was soaked in the rain and she was delirious in the cold?! When she remembered that thing, she quickly got up and immediately walked away from the man. She leaned on the bed and folded her arms.

"G-Get away from me!" she was afraid.

Maybe he has an idea again to play with. Gaunt looked at Kristine in surprise.

"Wait, what's your problem with me?"

Disgusted Kristine looked at the man. It is still light today. She smiled wryly.

"Aren't you still satisfied with what you did to me, Master?" she sarcastically uttered his last words.

"What did you say?!" Gaunt asked angrily.

He was confused by what the woman was saying.

"Didn't you order Lucy to take me inside the maze garden?! Thank you, I was lost and soaked in the heavy rain for a long time. I don't know if I should be thankful but I hope... It would be better if you just let me die in the cold than if you raised me to be your toy. What, are you happy? Look at me now, you make me look better than I am."

Gaunt raised both his hands as a sign of surrender and humility. He is to blame for what happened to Kristine because he becomes too loose with Lucy.

"I'm sorry for what happened. But believe me, I have nothing to do with what Lucy did. She just used me. Don't worry because I will fix it. I’ll make sure that she will definitely never do this thing again."

Kristine looked straight into Gaunt's face. She could see the sincerity on his face. It does not lie. Her lips parted.

"Y-You really have nothing to do with..." she stammered so she couldn't continue what she was supposed to say.

"Not really."

Gaunt approached her and looked carefully at her face. It caressed her cheek.

"I do not let what I want and my favourite perish... That's you, Kristine."

Gaunt pinched the tip of her nose and she swallowed as her eyes stared at its lips. She averted her gaze and turned her attention to the blanket. Here she is again...

"I will fix the mess now so that there will be no more problems, get well and we'll meet later." Gaunt said goodbye.

He kissed her on the forehead. She did not speak. She just kept staring at it. She did not know why he was like that to her. Recently it was her enemy. It moved away and finally left. Until the door of the room closed, she remained staring at it.

"What are you doing to me?!" she exclaimed.

Every time she stared at him, her brain went blank. And its simple kiss, it releases her anger.

Meanwhile, Gaunt was deeply depressed as he sat on the sofa. He cross his legs. After a while, his waiting arrived. He really can't miss what Lucy did to Kristine.

"What reason and hour did you call me?" Prince Sitri smiled at him.

Prince Sitri- demon of lust.

"I called you because I will give you one of my women in my harem." his straightforward language.

It was amuse for Sitri to look at his face before he sat across from him. He leaned over and smiled foolishly. It was held in the nose.

"Really? Which of them will you give?" casual this question.

He took a deep breath.

"I'll give you Lucy."

Sitri was surprise after hearing what he said. It laughed softly and shook to look at him.

"Don't you fool me? Isn't she your favourite? Besides, isn't your father Belphegor the one who gave you to her- Oh shit! Do you have a new favourite?!"

Gaunt laughed this time. Sitri was obviously shocked.

"You're right. I already have a new favourite. Did you know that Lucy is getting my headache? "

Sitri raised an eyebrow and folded his arms.

"Ah, that is why you are giving her to me? What are you good at? Will you give me a headache?!" its language is a bit disgusting.

"I’m giving her to you because you can discipline her. If you don't like her, get rid of her. Make her undead and bury her. As long as it matters to me, she will disappear here so that there will be no more trouble."

Sitri took a deep breath and frowned at his face.

"All right, I'll take care of your leftovers." its language is still boring.

Gaunt smiled at his friend's answer. After that he remembered his twin-brother Grimm...

"How is Grimm?" he suddenly asked Sitri.

The person he was talking to, shrugged.

"Your father is training him to release his power. He was tortured there. That is why your father Belphegor sent you here so that you would not interfere in Grimm's training. But I think there is no hope. Grimm, he is really a failure creation."

Gaunt's eyes widened at the last thing Sitri said. He did not want to insult his twin-brother.

"I'm sorry, that was just my personal opinion. You know, I was wrong." Sitri said in fear.

Gaunt just nodded. A moment later he called one of his assistants.

"What can I serve, Master?"

"Pack all of Lucy's things and bring her here." he commanded emphatically.

Until Lucy arrived, silence prevail between them. They both fell silent when Grimm became their topic.

"M-Master... What does that mean?!" Lucy cried.

It begged to look at his face. He looked it back without any emotion.

"You already know Prince Sitri, don't you?" he asked.

"O-Of course, Master..." she answered hesitantly.

"Good. He is your new Master and be kind to him. He will punish more severely than I do."

"Master! Don't do this to me! I beg! Master Gaunt, give me another chance!"

Lucy desperately hugged him. The woman is crying. He took a deep breath. He looked at Sitri who was laughing at them.

"Sitri, what else are you doing there?! Get your new slave!" his language irritated.

He let go of Lucy's embrace and rudely pushed away from her. It almost fell to the floor but Sitri immediately caught it.

"Let go of me!" disgusted Lucy said to Sitri.

But instead of letting go, Sitri held the woman tightly.

"I am your new Master, Lucy. Do not forget. Only now will I make sure you are obedient to me."

After Sitri spoke he quickly bit the woman's neck.

"EEEEEH!..."

Inexplicably the pain Lucy felt as he slowly sucked her blood. Her skin turned pale and her whole body weakened. Soon, her body was drooping. After a while the woman moved again. Opened her eyes and smiled at Sitri's face.

"Master... What can I do for you?" its tender language.

Sitri looked at Gaunt and then smiled. The friend also smiled back at him. He helped his new slave get up.

"We're leaving, Gaunt. Thank you for your gift."

"You're welcome."

Gaunt also stood up to take the two outside.

Meanwhile... Kristine was startled when she heard the woman's loud scream. She did not know, but she was very nervous. Seems like something is wrong?! She got up quickly and immediately walked to the terrace of the room. She looked outside and from there, she saw Gaunt with Lucy and a man... The man was supporting Lucy and the woman seemed to be following. What happened to the brave woman Lucy? The man supporting Lucy looked at her. The type of gaze that penetrates to her soul. She looked away in a different direction.

"Now, I know the reason why you got rid of Lucy. You really are, Gaunt... Tell me, when are you going to get tired of him?"

Gaunt looked sharply at Sitri's face. He looked in the direction it was looking and he saw Kristine on the terrace of her room staring.

"Don't look at her like that, Sitri... I’m going to put you in a place." he warned.

Sitri looked back and turned his face to Lucy who was not on her own.

"You're not that protective of Lucy ah. Tell me, do you already love that woman? That's bad, Gaunt... That's our weakness."

Gaunt laughed sarcastically. He was struck by what Sitri said but he hid the matter.

"What are you saying? I have no weakness. She is just new so that. Also, she is my new favourite, isn't she? I really enjoy her and no one else can do that but her."

Sitri nodded at him.

"I feel like, I want to own her too then." suddenly its language.

Gaunt's eyes widened and he quickly grabbed Sitri's neck. His jaws tightened.

"No one can own her but me. And no one can hold her, except me. Make no mistake, Sitri... Do not touch her, do not do it because your going to have a place with me."

Sitri violently removed his hand grabbing its neck.

"You're crazy, Gaunt. You've been weak. If it weren't for Lucy... I should have reported you to your father. He will surely punish you for what you do. But, I will not hit you right now. Thank you and Ciao!"

After that, Sitri chased a gaze after Kristine. Gaunt loves to chase Sitri but he remembers Kristine watching them. It would certainly scare her hard because it did not know what he really was. He did not wait for his friend's car to leave. He entered the house. For some unknown reason he went to the place where his women's room was. He went through the doors one by one, only that he had no choice. He breathed violently. He grabbed his chest. Is Sitri right? Is he in love?! He took a deep breath and headed for his room.

He saw Kristine still standing on the terrace. It overlooks the garden where giant white roses are planted. Wind blows her straight hair up to her ass and she also wears a light yellow dress. She smiled as she looked outside. He could not explain the feeling when he saw the simple smile that shone on its lips.
