Chapter 223: Galespire's Descent Into Madness

"Who are you and what do you want?" Farley's voice shaky as she felt herself regain control of her own body. Running was pointless and so was killing him so she took it that she might as well know more about him.

"My name is Zephyrus as for what I want, I've already told you that I want you Lilith." A playful smirk on his lips. 'Zephyrus? Isn't that one of the pair that accommodated Rhys and has ties with Ashley? But why would he be at a place like this?'

Her body grew tense realizing the situation she was in. From the rumors, it was due to these two that had a hand in the destruction of Rien, with others adding that they possibly had something to do with Aurorise however there was no proof for it.

As for the news that Miragestia was under Sablestone was made public implicating that they had conquered three kingdoms in a matter of months. What was even more shocking was that they had no yearn for power at the slightest, leaving it all to Sevyn.

Rhys was known that he headed to Sablestone, as for Zephyrus, his locations were unknown. "I'm flattered that you would seek interest in me Zephyrus." Trying to smooth things over, her tone nervous.

"You don't have to be so afraid of me Lilith. Besides..." He started off as he drew closer to her once more. "What I require from you is something you can easily give me." Her breathes became more ragged as she saw his body not far from where she was.

He drew closer till he was right in front of her. Drawing in close and to her surprise stole a kiss from her. She felt his tongue run wild in her mouth, trying to dominate hers as his hands brazenly ran through her body. Starting from the waist as they lowered all the way down to which she felt his hands fondle her ass.

Her moans light as Hedon drew back. Her dark pink horns on her sides of her head arching forward like that of a bull. Her fair skin tone alluring and flawless with her pink eyes capable of ensnaring any man that gave as much as a glance at her. She too took this as an opportunity to take a proper look at him.

His dark horn, his deep crimson eyes and stunning physique. She felt a natural pull towards him, as if her body and mind wishing to be with him for the rest of her life. Her thin pink moving wildly as she thought about all the things that the two would douse themselves in.

"So do you accept my offer, Lilith?" His tone soft as he drew in closer once more, taking a nibble at her small pointed ears. She could also already feel herself melting in his arms however despite all this, there was something in her mind that made her hesitate.

"Zephyrus, as much as I wish that I could be with you. I'm already in a relationship with another." Hedon's expression didn't change, as if anticipating such a response. "It's Mordecai, isn't it? The bastard gone in the alps for training and leaving such a beauty behind. What a shame."

Her pupils shrunk as his hot breathe brushed on her ear. It was known by know about the bounty set on Mordecai, one of the now former five generals of the demon queen. He had fled before into the alps which was extremely far away from the demonic cursed lands.

He along with his wife were under search by both humans to get rid of the scourge and demons to claim the bounty set on him however only the select few dared to take on such a mission. Given that at the time he was on the verge of breaking into the seventh tier, taking over Galespire was easy and leaving it to his wife to take over.

The people of Galespire were still in the dark till this day with most of them suffering heavy injuries from the corrupted mana that covered almost the entire kingdom. "Please don't kill me! I'll satiate any request that you wish provided you don't kill us."

Her voice laced with fear as she was still in his embrace given his hands were wrapped around her waist. "Lilith, you're a very loyal wife to Mordecai and I'm in awe, truly I am however I'm not a bounty hunter not could I be bothered with the prize on your heads. However that doesn't mean that the rest won't."

"With such a life changing request, it'll be impossible for anyone to turn it down and even you see that it's only a matter of time before your location is revealed. You're smart thus I'm sure that you'll see what I'm offering you right now so do you accept? But of course that would mean to forget about your lover."

His head drawn back, his eyes now locked with hers. She contemplated about it and weighing the pros and cons of it, she came to a conclusion. "I... accept your request Zephyrus." Her tone downcast to which he cupped his hands on her face. "Your answer isn't all that compelling Lilith. Maybe I should just kill you right here."

A small smile forming on his face, it was clear that he revelled in the situation she was in. Enjoying every second of it. After a deep breath, she spoke once more. "I'll be yours to command. Be it have me as a slave or whatever you will. I'll serve your whims to the best of my abilities."

Her tone now perked up however Hedon could tell that she lacked the enthusiasm he was looking for. He gave an exhausted sigh as he glanced at the dark puffy clouds that had yet to dissipate. Lilith couldn't tell as to whether he had lost interest in her and was planning on killing her or not.

"I am yet to be fully convinced with your words so how about you show me." He mused as he looked at her once more. She knew where this was going and that was what she feared. She didn't know what tricks he would have but seeing the zealous smile, it was clear that he had something planned.

"Don't worry, you're in safe hands." With a final kiss, he broke away from her embrace and made a light snap with his fingers. To Lilith, the scenery changed in an instant from the smoking ruin and debris that surrounded her to a classy and we'll maintained hotel.

Right in front of her was Hedon who welcomed her into his room and stepping inside, the scene changed once more. Instead of a classy decor filled and littered with classy furniture, delectable food or at the very least a warm and cozy air, she was greeted with a completely empty room and amidst it all was a little girl.

Her black hair droping callously behind her back as she was dressed in rather lavish clothes fit for a royal. Her attention was focused outside before turning around and looking at the pair. "Zephie!" She shouted as she lunged at Hedon with excitement hugging him.

He had dropped to his knees to properly hug her before her attention shifted to Lilith. "Is she the demon?" Her tone curious. Lilith was slightly taken aback by the fact that a human child and Hedon had some form of relation between them. 'Is she his daughter?' She thought.

"Hi, I'm Shyla." The little miss spoke, stretching out her hand to which Lilith was forced to exchange with. "Oh, hi Shyla, my name is Lilith." Her tone slightly nervous. "Okay what did you do to have this kind of mess. I told you to be more mindful of your skills."

Hedon reprimanded the little miss as he looked around. The room was completely bare as if it was new. "It was some men that wanted to take me but don't worry, I took care of them." Proud of her work, a smile washed up on her face. Hedon however didn't seem all that bothered as she lightly pet her head.

"Very well and besides, we're leaving so it doesn't matter." The little girl perked up. "Can we stop and buy new clothes?" He gave a light chuckle. "Sure." In jubilation, she darted off leaving the two alone in the room. "I didn't know that you had a daughter."

"She's not my daughter, just my student. Having the bright dreams of becoming the best hunter in the entire world." His tone light. "But isn't she a little young to manipulate mana. Not to mention she's a human so how is she fine with the fact that you, a demon, are taking care of her."

"For a little girl, she's more than capable of using mana and besides, I made her a promise about fulfilling her wish. But I'd advise you to not underestimate her. Unlike me, she doesn't hold back and goes for the kill as fast as possible." Lilith paused for a minute.

'Is he implicating that she can hurt me? How is a little girl a threat to me? A tier six demonic expert!' The idea of a ten year old girl, human at that capable of posing as a threat to her was absurd. Regardless she chose to keep her guard up given that she didn't know what tricks Zephyrus would have up his sleeve.

*Snap*

His horn disspeared as she was reverted back to her earlier illusion. Her eyes green and jet black hair. 'How is he capable of enacting such a feat despite me having a barrier around my body?' One of the many questions that she had but sadly would go unanswered.

Heading out, he paid for the damages that Shyla had caused to the hotel however there was no one at the reception, the entire kingdom was in a state of ruin thus he left fifty gold quartz on the counter before leaving.

Hopping back onto their carriage, the three made their way to a clothe designer that was somehow still open despite the chaos that reigned through the streets. Shyla not one to be conservative had him buy whatever she considered in her mind as beautiful .

"Why don't you make a purchase. I'm sure that there would be something pretty for you." Hedon mused at Lilith who was next to him. "Please, that's very considerate of you but I'll have to turn down your offer."

Shyla came back, now dressed in a jade green dress that made her eyes stand out. Her hair held back in a high ponytail making her look like a princess.

"There are so many beautiful dresses Lilith. I'm sure that there is something that would fit you." The little girl spoke, her tone filled with eagerness as she tried to urge Lilith to try something. "Very well but I won't take long."

Giving in to the cute little girl constantly pleading her to try a dress. In the end with a bit of persuasion from the staff, she ended up making several purchases which were all beautiful in their own way.

Of course the price wasn't small given Shyla had bought almost everything in her size at the store, the material rare along with Lilith, it would've been problematic to a regular person seeing the overall tab was coming to a staggering two platinum quartz.

Even Lilith found the total a bit of what she had anticipated however Hedon was capable of paying it off with ease. 'It would seem that he has a lot of resources on him. It would be safe to say that translates to treasures as well.' Lilith unaware that Hedon was currently reading her mind.

As thr three mafe their way back to the carriage, the sight of building could be seen lit ablaze the screams of those in agony reigning through the air and the overall chaos that reigned supreme. It was safe to say that Galespire had fallen into pure lunacy, madness that failed to faze the three.

The sight of such chaos was nothing surprising to the demonic pair however fir Shyla, she lacked a general empathy to the world around her thanks to the pendant Hedon had given her.

Thus explaining her indifference to the deaths of the guards she had claimed the lives off in such a sadistic way. To her, it was a game, something to help her pass time before Hedon came back.

Not to mention the power vacuum that was present making sure that the madness would go on till it all burnt to the ground or someone powerful enough stepped up and at that point, Galespire would have gone through hell.
