Music to my ears!

Scarlet pov contd.

I looked around at the crowd of nobles who were looking at the scene with either horror or with a smirk. But there stood a girl whose face was filled with sweat and her whole body had turned white.

"Do you know why he did that, lady Rubella?" I asked , looking at her with an evil smirk and her knees gave away.

"I.. I do not know anything. I am not feeling well. I should go home." she mumbles as she tries to hold herself.

"Tsk, you are here as our guest, my lady. How can we let you go in this condition? Let us serve you and treat you. I mean your illness!" knights came from both sides and held her tightly.

"No, there is some confusion. I do not know this man, I have seen him for the very first time. I did not know anything at all." she replied, shaking her head like a crazy person.

"Oh my! Did I even ask you anything about a man? What are you talking about then?" I asked, feigning ignorance and her eyes widened.

She looked at me and then at the man who was also angry at her foolishness.

"I wonder what have you seen in her that you have planned this suicide mission!" I asked as I looked at his clenched fists and red face.

"Let her go. It was my plan from the start. She is innocent." shouted the man who had never even raised his voice in front of me in the past!

"Oh my! Look at the courage." I roamed my index finger on his jawline. "So you are even ready to die for her now, hmph? True love!" my voice was filled with contempt and eyes with ridicule as i kicked him and he fell on the floor with a thud

"Then why the hell did you propose to me? It was not like I asked you to marry me, that you were forced and helpless. If you would have told that you want to marry her, I would have gladly let you marry her." I asked as I took my dagger from my dress.

"And then what? I would have your slave or a normal servant. Do you think a baron would give the hand of his daughter to a man like that? You would never understand what poor people like us face to live in society when you only know how to order others and live a rather luxurious life." he said and i laughed hard.

"So, that gives you the right to kill me and live your happy life from my wealth. You are worse than I thought. Each word of yours shows how filthy you are and I was nurturing a snake in my home.`` I gently held his hand, the hand that used to caress my face, my hair.

I feel nauseous just by thinking about it. With burning eyes I held his finger and cut one in one swift motion.

"Aahhhhh" he screamed as the blood splattered on my face.

"That's right. Scream, your screams will feed my anger and the beast will finally find its solace." I mumbled as I cut another finger.

"arrrggghhh"

"Please, please let him go. He did all this because he loves me." the girl started crying as she kneeled in front of me.

The crowd was still standing there looking at me with fear and horror.

"Polar have some mercy!" the girl screamed again as i cut his thumb this time.

"Why? Do you think I am an angel? I am the demoness. The villainess of this empire. The word mercy has nothing to do with me.`` I do not have any remorse in saying that! Did they think I was a kind person who will be happy that my death will help in the marriage of two lovers?

"I would rather kill a hundred of you then get myself killed.'' I replied as I looked at his hand which had no fingers left.

"Tsk.. why do you have only five fingers! It's alright, you still have the other hand and two legs left.`` I replied, shrugging my shoulders when the man decided to faint.

"Hey.. do not ruin my mood. Look at me! You have to continue screaming for me!" I was instructed but the man did not listen at all!

"Sigh! He is still defiant! Go and bring some salt water for the thirsty man and throw it over his face.`` These people sure knew how to ruin the fun!

"Yes my lady." The knights ran away as if a ghost was chasing them and soon returned with buckets of water and poured it over him.

"What! Where do you think you all are going? The show has just started, were you not here to see the drama! Then stay till the end!" I snapped at the nobles who were trying to leave discreetly and their steps halted right there and then.

The knights covered the doors listening to my oldest and nobles looked at each other.

"My lady, we were here to mourn your death. Scene you are alive we all are very happy. But we can see that you are busy, that is why we want to leave you alone. You can enjoy your tasks then" said a man coming forward and representing everyone.

"Since you all are so fond of drama, i will surely give you a nice show" i replied with the sweetest voice as blood continued to drip from my face, and then i slowly started dismembering his skin and his shriek flew in the room as music to my ears.
