“Where are the others?” Nathan look at the demon who supports him whenever and whatever will he do, annoyed by its presence- he can’t help but look for the others
One of the cardinals bow down before speaking “I’m afraid they are fooling around, My Lord”
“Until when will you act like we’re not here?” the major, who went straight ahead in Nathan’s cell is now impatiently waiting for the demon Lord’s attention
But instead, Nathan looks at his subordinates- knowing that the soldiers are now confused and afraid of the foreign visitors, he took advantage of it all
The fact that the major died because of the cardinals is a huge impact on the army forces
Finally cutting the thread of his patience, Major signals one of his men
“My Lord, the other cardinals are piling up in one place… we don’t know the reason-”
Their conversation was cut off when a loud crying was heard
One of the soldiers came back, bringing the wasted and loud cry baby Christian to them
He’s holding the child carelessly which made Nathan wonder what would be Lina’s reaction if she saw her beloved child being dragged around
A mischievous idea flashed through his mind
Laughing crazily, the demon finally looks at the major to taunt him “aren’t we a proud soldier? Hero of the humanity?”
Not wanting to interfere with their Lord’s entertainment- the cardinals just stand in the corner, watching how their Lord play again
“What’s with the hostage, Major?”
Without any remorse, the great major just look at him “I want you to provide me some information”
Scoffing, Nathan looks at the pitiful child “what information would be worth a life? Do you have any idea, Christian?”
Finally sensing their presence, Christian looks at the demon but eventually looks down- not allowing himself to see the mister’s reaction
“And you dared to be proud because you’re her student?!”
The boy’s only wish right now is to disappear- nothing else
After all the things they have done… it feels like the only death can free him from his sin
He wants to disappear
Nathan laughed once more and this time… it was much louder
“What are you thinking, major? Making this child a hostage? He already wants to die! Hahaha!”
His face changed, the playful Nathan was gone and eventually shift to his dark side
The major noticed it all… how his eyes changed into bloodshot in just a spur of the moment “Hey, old man! I used to think that you’re smart…”
Brushing his hair up, the long-haired Nathan was now annoyed after realizing his situation ‘I promised her only one thing in order to stay always by her side… these kids made it harder!’
Massaging his temple, the cardinals on his side are now showing a worried look “what can we do to ease your mind, my lord”
“Ah! Right, you’re here”
“Don’t you even think of scaping, demon” he grabs one of the soldier’s arms and put the man in front “My men can track you”
Agitated, the soldier panicky used his ability
“Who said that I’ll escape?” he nods at his cardinals and signaled him to do his magic “I’m bringing you with me”
And in the blink of an eye, they all got transported to another area
“WE ARE FRIENDS!”
“WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?! THAT JOURNAL IS AN ARTIFACT! AND OUR SOURCE OF INFORMATION IS AT THE TOP OF THAT! HOW COULD YOU TEAR IT APART?!”
“Calm down, sire-”
“Oh, F*CK! CAN YOU LET GO OF ME BEFORE YOU FIGHT?!”
“NO! WE’RE FRIENDS!”
Bombarded by the sudden noise, Christian looked for the perfect timing to hide and escape from the situation
Seeing that her sister is here… it will be a war if she saw his shadow
“IS THAT BLOOD?!”
The little boy look at his back and saw the reddish water where her sister is “ba… blood! Are you alright, sister?!”
Once again, Lina’s blood boiled before glaring at Nathan- who noticed the red water first
“F*CK YOU NATHAN! CAN YOU HEAR ME?! I SAID F*CK YOU! THIS EFFING MIDDLE FINGER IS SPECIALLY MADE FOR YOU!”
Confused by her words, Nathan took a step back
‘There is too much blood… does my sister have an injury?’
Hearing someone’s thoughts- Nathan looks in Christian's direction “Look, Even… I brought your brother-”
But before he can touch Christian and changed Lina’s mood- the major grabs the child by his collar
Lifting the small body up, Christian was terrified
“Uh… Uncle?”
He can’t help but burst his tears out in confusion and fear
“PUT HIM DOWN RICHARDSON!” Alahim was also startled by the sudden movements of his friend “HE’S A CHILD! FOR GOD'S SAKE! PUT HIM DOWN!”
Coughing, Christian tried to scratch the man’s hand “why? Uncle?” he’s now out of breath
Lina watch how the boy’s color turned into gray until she moved- attacking his uncle with sharp ice
But Alahim and the other soldiers protected the major
Seeing how worked up Lina was at the moment, the violet demon tried to activate her ability “try to interfere! I’ll kill this child!”
Astran, who is like an audience was quite amused by the scene he was watching
“YOU! DEMON OF WORDS!” Astran look at around and was bewildered when he realized that the Major was pointing at him “DON’T YOU DARE INTERFERE!”
Blinking, the demon can only nod his head
‘Why would I interfere?’
He asked himself
“HE IS YOUR F*KING NEPHEW FOR F*CKS SAKE!”
Astran brushed the back of his head when he heard Lina’s curses “YOU F*CKING COLD BLOODED F*CK! THIS IS WHY NO ONE WANTS TO F*CKING MARRY YOU! YOU OLD F*KING HAG!”
The endless curses continued and Astran can see that the Major is reaching the limit of his patience
Everyone screamed when the man mercilessly threw the child to the ground
“YOU F**KING CRAZY MAN! Are you that f**king desperate to know how the hell you died?! SO, YOU’LL F*CKING KILL AN INNOCENT TO KNOW YOUR DEATH?! MOTH** FU***!”
Sighing, the major look at Nathan and he can tell that the demon won’t talk unless Lina also wants to know about his death
“This child… he’s not from here” the major started talking
“YOU FU*** ASSH***LE I CAN’T BELIEVE I STRIVED FOR YOUR PRAISES!”
Hearing this, Nathan smirk
“LISTEN FIRST, YOU HARDHEADED GIRL!”
Gasping for air, Lina looked at the major- thinking that this is the first time she saw him shout in anger
“THIS CHILD!” he points his finger at the child who is still on the floor “HE’S ONE OF THE UNCERTAINTIES! WE CAN NOT LET THIS KIND OF CHILD ROAM IN THIS WORLD BECAUSE HE DID NOT ORIGINATE IN THIS WORLD!”
Lina looked at his uncle in disbelief, he’s so worked up wanting to know his death- even coming up with this nonsense reason!
“What do you mean? This child is the fruit of my parents after abandoning me. STOP TALK SH*TTING!”
“YOUR MOM UNDERGO *TUBAL LIGATION! AFTER HAVING YOU, SHE DID THAT SURGERY IN ORDER NOT TO GET PREGNANT AGAIN!” (*known as getting your “tubes tied” or “female sterilization,” is a permanent birth control surgery. It prevents a woman from getting pregnant and is effective immediately after the procedure)
Lina fell in silence
“She’s that guilty for giving you to me”
Nodding, Lina can’t help but scoff “And so? He’s still a child! He’s still a living being!”
“CAN’T YOU UNDERSTAND IT?! THERE ARE NO CHRISTIAN AND SHERRY CADDEL! THEY ARE NOT A REGISTERED CITIZEN BOTH IN THE PAST AND THIS PRESENT!”
“So, people can die because they are unregistered?! I know that having a hearing impairment isn’t contagious- oh! You’re just F*CKING STUPID! Do you think I’ll buy that reason?!”
“THEY ARE NOT FROM THIS WORLD! THEY ARE THE REASON WHY WE CAN’T PREDICT THE FUTURE NOW!”
“NO ONE CAN KNOW THE FUTURE, YOU! STUPID MOTHER F**ER! THE FUTURE IS NOW MESSED UP BECAUSE OF THE F***ERS LIKE YOU!”
“I’M STILL YOUR UNCLE! YOU UNGRATEFUL BRAT!”
Lina stopped for a moment
And then, she laughed “I’m ungrateful now because I talked back?” while walking toward him, she doesn’t care if the effect of the Fountain of desire will make her deaf and torture her with the unbearable headaches
‘Just… one punch’
She looked at the man she once admired the most
The man whom she’s so hell-bent to obey
“YOU WON’T LIVE IF I DIDN’T TAKE YOU FROM YOUR MOM!”
Still nagging, Lina doesn’t care anymore about the words that she once thought as a law
Respect no more
Excited because of the cold expression that Lina’s face showed, Astran badly wants to clap his hands
The demon, being a demon- chant a spell so he can stimulate the major’s feelings and voice it out without thinking
“YOU’RE NOTHING BUT A WEAPON THAT THE GOVERNMENT CREATED!”
Thinking that he did a great job, Astran smirked
