Chapter 39: Tragic Bloodshed II

Kristine smiled as she looked at the beautiful flowers in the garden. Even if she sees only one color. White. Clean and comfortable to look in the eyes. She approached a large rose and picked a flower then.

"Ouch!" she was pricked by the flower’s thorn.

Her blood dripped on the floor and she nervously wiped her injured finger. Her finger ached slightly because the thorn was deeply buried. She heard footsteps approaching and she could not help but smile. It has been gone for a few days and she misses it too much. She smiled sweetly and turned forward in the direction where she heard the footsteps.

"Whoa, that's nice to meet you..."

Kristine's beautiful smile faded when she saw who had arrived. Not Gaunt but the man she saw last week. It walked towards her with a smile.

"I'm Prince Sitri. You're Kristine, aren't you?"

He held out his right hand and looked at her intently. She hesitated to reach out his hand for a handshake.

"I-I'm Kristine." her language was weak.

Her eyes widened as the man squeezed her hand and then gently brought it to his lips to kiss.

"Nice to meet you, Kristine..."

Kristine returned an awkward smile and quickly withdrew her hand from the man. She swallowed when she saw it staring at her intently. She averted her eyes and took a deep breath. She did not know but she was nervous at the man's presence.

"Ahm... Gaunt is not here. He left." she hesitated.

"I know. That's why I came here."

She frowned and looked carefully at the face of the person in front of her. The man approached her and she was surprised when he suddenly touched her chin.

"I want to know how Gaunt went crazy with you... I also want to entertain you like he said."

Her eyes widened and her lips parted at what she heard. She quickly shook his hand and then walked away.

"Get away from me."

"Gaunt is not here and you can do nothing. One more thing, he probably won't be angry if you play with me a little... Because we often exchanged our slaves. So don't act there. "

She backed away.

"Y-You're mistaken for me!"

"Why, what are you with Gaunt?! Aren't you his woman in his harem? You are a slave."

"You're crazy!"

She backed away even more and after that, she quickly turned around and immediately ran away. But she suddenly stopped running when the man appeared in front of her. She backed away and was confused. She did not know what to do.

"I forgot to mention to you that I am a demon like Gaunt... I am Prince Sitri-the demon of lust!"

The man rushed at her but the two helpers suddenly arrived and immediately stopped Sitri. Using whips, they attacked Sitri so he was pushed back in no time. The appearance of the two assistants changed. They had demon wings and the attire became short. They also had tails and sharp and long nails.

"Stop it, Prince Sitri! You have no right to touch or approach Mistress Kristine. Stay away from her and stop her!" Warned one of the helpers.

"T-Thank you, Debonaire..."

The woman glanced slightly at her.

"Leave Mistress Kristine. My twin and I will take care of him."

"B-Be careful!"

She immediately ran away and entered the palace. Meanwhile... Sitri's eyes widened as he stared at the two Succubus demons in front of him.

"Nothing can stop me from doing what I want to do!"

He surrounded himself with fire. He clenched his fists tightly and then immediately rushed at the two women. Their whips attacked him but he quickly escaped. He pulled the whip they were holding and threw them at the same time. He was still not satisfied, he set fire to both of them. They are just weak types of Succubus’s. Created to serve such high-ranking demons. The two cried out in pain. Sitri was blocked by Gaunt's other maids but his strength was not insignificant compared to them. He just finished it all easily. He then looked at the spiral and large stairs.

"I'm coming!" he smiled.

Meanwhile... Kristine's deep breath was steady. Everything is quiet. She was afraid to look at the door of Gaunt's room. Moments later, it suddenly exploded. Create very strong air around and smoke. As the smoke slowly subsided, she saw the creature she did not want to see.

"Got you..." he said with a smile.

She quickly ran away but the man immediately chased her.

"G-Get away from me!" her bold language.

She was already on the edge of the terrace and she looked down.

"And why would I do that thing? If you had not acted, your companions here at home would not have been affected. Do you have any idea what happened to them, huh?"

She looked at the man's face in tears.

"You're so bad!" her angry language.

But instead of being insulted by what she said, he just laughed. The laughter as if it were a compliment she said.

"Thanks for the compliment, Kristine. It's natural for me to be bad because I was created that way!"

It walked closer to her and she no longer knew what she was going to do. When it was close to her suddenly...

"I will not allow you to approach Mistress Kristine!"

Debonaire suddenly appeared behind Sitri and hugged the man tightly from behind.

"Let go of me!"

"I will not let you go!"

Debonaire tightened her grip on Sitri to prevent it.

"You stubborn ah!"

To Sitri's annoyance, he released his sharp bones from his elbow. After that, he no doubt stabbed them in both sides of the woman.

"NOOO!..." Kristine shouted loudly.

But despite that, the woman still did not let go of him.

"I don't know why you care so much about this woman!"

Sitri stabbed Debonaire again until it completely collapsed and a lot of blood spilled on the floor. Kristine could not speak but her tears were constantly dripping. She looked at the man in confusion. This is very different from Gaunt... The man was smiled again and the man approached her, Debonaire suddenly grabbed his right foot.

"Urgh! You're not dead yet!"

"You can't touch Kristine as long as I'm alive..." the woman said weakly.

"That's enough, Debonaire... That's enough..." Kristine cried.

Sitri kicked the woman but she did not budge.

"Why are you protecting that person like that?!"

Debonaire glanced at Kristine puzzled and crying.

"Because she considered me a friend. Of all the women Master Gaunt brought... She was the only one who respected us and we were not treated as a lowly creature."

Despite the difficulty Debonaire was able to smile.

"Don't... That's enough..." Kristine cried.

Sitri smiled sarcastically.

"You look like your Master Gaunt! Because of that woman, you all became stupid!"

Sitri violently pulled the woman and as a result, she got up in no time. Gradually Sitri lifted the woman's body from the floor.

Meanwhile... Gaunt was surprised when he arrived and found his maids bleeding and lying prostrate.

"Kristine!" he exclaimed.

He hurried up to his room. It is impossible to explain the anger and nervousness he feels in these moments.

Sitri smiled as he looked at Kristine's terrified face.

"That's enough, let her go..."

He was even more pleased that it begged him. He had an idea.

"Watch carefully the show I'm going to do."

He lifted Debonaire into the air as he tweaked it. It is very weak due to the amount of injury. Then he poured his big bone on the elbow. He aimed at the woman's chest and quickly stabbed it! A lot of blood spilled out and even spat on Kristine’s left-cheek.

"NOOO!..."

Her loud cry dominated all around. After Sitri stabbed the woman, he threw her body away.

"Now, the two of us-"

Sitri could not continue what he was about to say when he was suddenly hit by a very strong and fiery blow by Gaunt. As a result, the wall of the room was destroyed and with the force of the attack he fled outside. Gaunt immediately followed Sitri and attacked again. He made a white-fire whip.

"You are shameless!"

Sitri just laughed at him and then it rained balls of fire at him. It hit him hard but he escaped.

"You're crazy, Gaunt!"

Sitri put his sharp bone in his elbow. He attacked Gaunt but his attack was not severe. It barely escaped so it only slightly hurt the wound in its stomach.

"You're stingy now. I just want to taste Kristine because I also want to be crazy, just like you! Ha ha ha ha!"

Gaunt's jaws tightened at what he heard. After that, he quickly attacked Sitri. It did not avoid his flogging flames. He wrapped it around his whole body and then threw Sitri to the ground several times. He was still not satisfied, he punched it one by one all over his body. When he got bored and he quickly grabbed the collar of his clothes. Despite everything, it still managed to smile at him.

"What, are you happy?" its language is still sarcastic.

Anger again dominated his whole being and after that he punched him hard in the face. And when his fist hit his face he let out a fire...

"AAAAAAAAH!"

His fist remained there until his whole body was consumed. A dazzling light formed. When Sitri blushed, he gasped and sat down and violently rubbed his head!

Meanwhile, Kristine quickly joined Debonaire. She put it on her lap. She became close to it when she fell ill due to prolonged soaking in the rain. Aside from Gaunt it was one of those who patiently cared for her. Therefore, she considered it a friend.

"A-Are you okay?" Debonaire asked weakly.

She nodded in tears.

"Thank you, don't worry about me."

"Don't cry for me, M-Mistress Kristine."

"No, you are my friend."

A few moments later Gaunt arrived. He immediately approached Kristine's whereabouts hugging his bloody maid. The bloody woman looked at him.

"M-Master Gaunt, I-I did my job well... I protected her..."

"Yes, thank you."

He kissed her on the forehead and after that they saw her eyes completely close. Gradually, its body glows red and a small light is formed. Those lights are gradually blown away by the wind into space until it disappears. Kristine was puzzled while crying... Gaunt hugged her.

"Sitri is gone. I promise he won't bother you anymore. "

"What will happen to Debonaire?"

Gaunt took a deep breath.

"She is gone forever. We creatures created from hell disappear like bubbles because we cannot go to heaven... I am just like Debonaire. I only have a lot in some aspects but we are no different. Our souls come from a place rejected by mankind. We could live forever, but that did not mean that we could never die. And death, that is the scary thing for us because when that happens we will just disappear. There is no trace, nothing will be left... "

Kristine hugged Gaunt tightly.

"That won't happen to you, will it?"

"I will not allow it until you are here next to me."

Gaunt stared intently at Kristine's face.
