LUCIFER'S OBSESSION

AMUSEMENT

“Lucien, there's something is off about her”, the man who wore a red suit looked at his master. His face was that of a man who was perplexed yet excited.

“What is wrong sir?” Lucien asked, interrupting his master’s thoughts.

“I couldn’t perceive any images, Lucien, it’s like her mind is being covered in a fog” he spoke excitedly.

“But sir, I don’t get why you are so excited” Lucien said with an odd expression written on his face

“Ah Lucien, you have always been so stiff, don’t you see the potential in all this drama?” he asked, smiling, revealing his sharp canines that were shown through the dimly lit room. Lucien stood there perplexed but had decided to drop the topic.

“So what are you going to do, know master”, inquired now.

“I want you to take some of the spies and head out; I want to know why Azuriel wants this woman and why the witches seek to eliminate her existence” he finalized

“As you wish, master,” he spoke, and suddenly vanished in the blink of an eye.

“Lucien is loyal to the core but stiff to the bone” he chuckled lightly, and turned back to look at the woman who slept soundly on the sofa, his eyes trailed up and down her bruised body. She was between the age of 20 and 24 with long blonde hair and a skinny face. He thought to himself that she wasn’t that pretty.

He then snapped his fingers and then a woman wearing a maid’s dress appeared and bowed before him. He was returning to her as he consciously stared at the young lady lying on the sofa.

“Have a hot bath prepared for her and some new clothes and tell Patricia to have one of the guest rooms ready for her, will you?”

“Of course sir” she bowed her head in respect, “But can I ask a question sir” she stopped, still bowing her head awaiting his response.

“Yes, go on” he responded.

“I don’t mean to intrude into your matters, sir, but who is she, if I may ask?” she questioned.

“Raise your head, Emilia,” he said, with an air of authority. Emilia lifted her head to face her master, who was still looking at the unconscious girl lying on the sofa.

“She is one of Azuriel’s stowaways” he jokingly admitted.

“But sir can’t you give her back to him if she is his property” she asked with no hesitation in her voice. Damon turned around and looked at her. Unlike Lucien. Emilia was more aware and that’s why Damon made her the head maid and one of his trusted confidants.

“I could” he continued, “but it’s not just Azuriel that wants her, the witches are seeking to eliminate her as well”.

This caught Emilia’s attention. She looked at her master and then back at the sleeping woman who didn’t move an inch but lay still like a dead body in a coffin. There was nothing particular about her, her features were nothing to boast about and her legs were so skinny that it gave a sense that she had been starved for a while before escaping Azuriel’s sight.

“What could be so special about her” asked Emilia?

“Who knows but whoever she is, the entire underworld is going mad about her and I can’t wait for the entertainment that follows” he grinned widely.

Emilia had never seen her master excited about a situation that could be resolved easily, but this had made her master smile widely, a smile she hadn’t seen in a very long while, and now she was now curious to see how this would go.

“Shall I double the guard sir” she asked, bowing her head again.

“Yes, I want two men guarding her room and tell the head cook to prepare a good meal. If she wakes up I would love to ask her some questions” he said.

“Of course sir” she concluded, then disappeared without a trace.

He looked back and noticed Emilia had vanished. He went behind his desk and pulled the seat behind it and sat down, adjusting himself to his seat. He opened a drawer beside his desk and took out some documents and began to go through them, but he couldn’t concentrate. The mystery of the unknown woman, Azuriel’s cause for wanting her and the witches’ agenda behind her attempted assassination was a little too much.

If it were a normal person, he would have given this lady up, but he was no normal person and all of these events were only there to entertain him. He looked at the woman one more time and grinned.

“This is going to be pleasurable”.
