Chapter 53 - To Betray, To Lie, To Confess

Crying out in agony, Asuka fell headlong against the ground. Cutting open a side of her skull, she bled not only from the pierced heart but also from her head as well.

"Asuka!" Yelling her name, Haruki turned to Riley with his eyes filled with rage. Having called off all his spies to unleash on Margarette he never saw Riley sneaking up behind them.

"Demonic spies get him!" Ordering the eyes to appear and attack Riley, Haruki rushed over to Asuka's bleeding body.

Pooling under her, the floor was soaked in her crimson-red blood. Ignoring the threat right behind him, Haruki began to cast healing touch on her, and while it did slow down the bleeding, Asuka's condition didn't seem to be getting better at all.

"M-master?" She mumbled, squinting her eyes and looking up at Haruki's face.

"Margarette, heal her!" Taking her hand in his own, he glared at Margarette and gave her the order.
