Saviour ( Volume 5 Chapter 9)

I went to the abandoned house where I had hidden the three girls, I went towards the door and opened it or not as the door was now locked.

Were they awake now and had locked the door or

some village had come in my absence and locked the door but first, without forgetting manner I knocked on the door.

Death Lord-"Knock knock"

???-" Who the hell says knock-knock while knocking the door!"

A rude voice but feminine nonetheless so it could be one of those girls who fainted before meeting me or the one who did so after meeting me.

Cecil-"MASTE-R"

Master? if I am not mistaken that voice belonged to Cecil but why master though? even more than that it looks like she was stopped from speaking

Did those girls take Cecil, hostage?

Why isn't kindness reciprocated, sigh what a cruel world but I have to Cecil as I had promised to look after her and I am not heartless enough to break a promise with a kid.

Death Lord-" Move away if you want to live."

No response suit yourself I kicked the wooden door bursting it open.

I saw a girl in her teens holding the mouth of dog eared kid and an elf lying beside them.

???-"Stay away or this girl will suffer."

Suffer she say

Death Lord -" Suffer what?"

I said in a firm tone I didn't notice but I was releasing my killing intent perhaps I was a bit different,

maybe I am angry.

The girl dropped the knife she was holding and released Cecil all this while making a horrified face, a face that a person makes when facing death herself.

not good, not good I can't have her dying just from the pressure I needed answers and I think she or her partner can give me that.

After being released the frightened Cecil ran up to me and hugged me. She could only reach my stomach but her grip was no that of a kid must be racial power I thought.

Cecil- " mast....er....where...were...you"

She said so while sobbing she must have been frightened on not finding me after waking up,

she must be thinking that I have abandoned her everything else was okay but why was she calling me master. I remember that I told her my name so what was this monster business.

Death Lord-" It seems that you have forgotten but

I am the one who reigns over death, Death Lord,

carve that name in your heart."

Can anyone else be cooler but I can't even dream of saying something cheesy as this in my Valor

form, Death lord will die of embarrassment.

Cecil-" Master is Master."

Cecil so while slightly tilting her head.

CUUTE

It was the only thing I could describe the scene with her cuteness was on another level and from the looks, she was very attached to me now.

I ruffled her black hair and she made a pleasing face signifying her like being patted.

My anger dispersed after seeing her innocent smile and then I looked towards the elf.

Was it due to anger I missed but that elf was wounded and would eventually die if not treated.

The teenage girl was still sitting on her knees and making a strange face while seeing the interaction between Cecil and me.

I moved towards the injured elf and the girl while

shaking came between me and the elf.

Death Lord-" Move."

She stayed still and didn't answer me As I was trying to move again she shouted

Teenage girl-" DON'T HURT HER"

She was too damn loud.

Death Lord-" I don't need to kill someone who is

already dying, or..... do you perhaps want to save her?"

She gulped and with timidness of a newborn fawn said

Teenage girl-"Yes"

Death Lord-" I can save her but why do you a human want to save an elf?"

She was silent but after hesitating for some time she said

Teenage girl-" I want to save her because she is my saviour."

Death Lord-" A saviour, I see"

Teenage girl-" So will you now save her"

Death Lord -"Yes"

The expression on the girl's face glowed up

Death Lord -" But why should I?"

The glow once again faded and the girl was in tears again.

Death Lord -" Surely I don't look like some knight or some hero or any all of justice."

The girl silently listened to me.

Death Lord -"Rather you threatened to make my partner suffer so instead of helping you I should be fighting you."

The silence continues

Death Lord -" Well I can help you if you can offer me something equivalent."

The girl looks towards me and goes into deep thought.

Death Lord -" If you don't hurry up your Saviour will die you know."

Teenage girl-"I.."

Death Lord-" What can you offer me for the life of your Saviour, you have one chance if I don't like your offer I will leave and I don't believe you will get an A grade healing potion in this village., Think fast"

The girl starts to stare at the bag on the ground,

looks like she doesn't t have the resolution.

Death Lord -"Cecil let's go."

Cecil-" Master"

Cecil looks at me with pleading eyes but I can't help someone who don't even have the resolution.

Teenage girl-" Life"

Did I mishear that?

Teenage girl- " I will offer my life for her life"

Interesting, a grin appeared on my face.

Death Lord-" Are you sure, I am no hero if I am anything I am a-"

Teenage girl-"A devil, I know that's why I am making a deal with the devil."

I was thinking of villain but devil would be

not bad at all

I took out a vial of red liquid and hurled it to the girl brimming with confidence.

She almost dropped the vial but after catching it with both hands. she pressed the vial towards her chest and sighed in relief.

She helped the unconscious elf to drink the potion and as soon as the vial was empty

her wound shined and disappeared and the elf was started to mumble something.

Both Cecil and that girl were happy with the elf's recovery but I was more interested in that mumble of her as she had said something that was deeply related to me.
