Lucia's point of view
"Did you get along with your slave?" Dark asked while driving.
"Yeah sort of" though, she's my friend, not my slave.
"Good" Dark smiled.
Why the heck is he smiling? It's not like I'm uncomfortable with it, I'm just a hundred percent certain he is not like that yesterday, his face is quite serious and worried.
"For now I'm gonna tour you around the Malvido Sitio, it's a surprise that until now you didn't regain any of your memories, so if something is confusing you, just ask me"
He mentioned earlier that were gonna be going to Malvido Sitio to greet the arrival of the Princes, is that a sacred place?
"You mentioned yesterday about the law and sinners. What do you mean by that?"
Dark glanced at me.
"Yesterday?" he chuckled. "Lucia we don't possess time here, every day is not another day. No night, no day, just an infinite loop"
How come I didn't think of it. This is hell, not middle earth Lucia!
"The Seven Princes are the law here, so whatever they wanted to do with you even if it kills you or not, you should obey" Dark's face became serious. "The sinners are being punished in another place, but the Princes are the ones who only know that place. In hell, you are not allowed to kill another devil, Most of the devils who turned into sinners became a slave in this place"
Of course, you shouldn't kill another person, even if it's a human or not but come to think of it, if Angelique is a slave, is she a sinner in this lifetime? I don't think so, we are only summoned here, nothing more.
"Earlier you said the Princes are back, what do you mean by that?"
"Ah, the Seven Princes doesn't really stay at the City. No one knows where they are for the last million years. It's just that, they come back here when the time comes"
"Time comes what?"
"When the time comes that the Devil's bride is reborn"
"Then-"
I did not finish the words I wanna say when a car suddenly hit us through the trunk. Our vehicle snapped and flew in the air like a toy, the impact was so strong that I could think of anything but fear, one thing hits my mind, that this may be the end of my journey.
"Lucia!"
"Lucia!"
As I opened my eyes, I saw Cloud's face seemingly worried. He's doing first aid on me as I got back on my senses. My right hand is bleeding but what I'm worried about the most, is not me but Dark.
As I roam my gaze around I saw his car got smashed due to the incident and what terrifies me the most is the dark presence of someone whose anger is extremely overflowing with black smoke.
Who's that?
I tried to stand up shoving Cloud away from blocking my view, and when I finally did see what's going on my whole system trembled.
"The Prince of Wrath arrived" Cloud stated in a serious tone. "He's here to punish the sinner"
I saw how he snapped his fingers and burned the sinner alive, it begged to spare its life but the Prince ignored it. Instead, he snapped his fingers twice and summoned a silver knife. He quickly stabbed it right into its heart.
I heard how painful it screams and begs for its life. It's ringing and ringing over and over into my ears until I can't hear anything anymore. I trembled in fear seeing a cruel scene, right before I close my eyes due to vertigo, I saw the Prince of wrath looked at me with its eyes on fire.
"Don't do this, don't leave me"
A voice suddenly appeared in my head, I can't see anything because it was all pitch black.
"I'll come again, I'll love you again" a woman answered.
"I'll be waiting" the voice of a man cried. "I'll find you"
Cloud's point of view
"Colonel, are you good?" I asked her as soon as she gets up off the bed.
"Yeah" she answered. "Dark, where's Dark?"
I immediately avoided her gaze.
"He.."
A moment of silence filled the four corners of the room.
"He's what? Gone?" she asked.
I immediately flinched and bowed down.
"I'm sorry"
She let out a deep sigh and patted my head.
"Enough with the formalities, Cloud" she said and got out of the room.
...
Angelique's point of view
How many minutes am I running away just because someone keeps following me? s**t-s**t f**k, I'm literally doomed!
I immediately shift my head and run into a small alley, dodged the trash that is blocking the path. I threw it on the guy that keeps following for a while now. I continued to run away but un-f*****g-fortunately, it was the dead end.
"What do you f*****g want!" I shouted.
He steps forward and slightly tilted his head and smirked.
"Are you Lucia's slave?" the man asked.
What?! How does this guy know Lucia?!
"Can you come with me? Let's talk. But don't tell Lucia that we're having this conversation"
"Who are you?!" I asked.
He removed his black fedora hat and said.
"I am the Prince of Envy"
