Chapter 20
Theodore's POV
This– what is happening here? Why is Leticia covered in
blood?
Oh Theodore! You are here? I was getting bored while waiting
for you! You know, I remem—
Before she could even finish the sentence, her body hit the
ground with a loud thud!
Am I fainting….. again? She said with a sigh before closing
her eyes.
I–What is… Who did this to her? My eyes scanned the room for
the one responsible for my Leticia's condition, while Isabelle and Claire
rushed towards her through the door and knees beside her. They shook and called
out to her countless times, but she remained still like a lifeless body. Seeing
her like this made my blood run cold with fear, I don't want to lose her again…
My eyes started scanning the dark room once again and then
they finally stopped at the fleeing creature. His body was bruised from
multiple attacks and his torn apart from his body. The sight which would have
been gruesome for other, was a sight which filled me with proud. Because this
was something my Leticia did. But, my blood boiled at the thought, that this
pest is the reason for my Leticia's unconsciousness.
I couldn't contain my anger anymore. I don't care what
happens to anyone anymore. I called out to my familiar, Zephiron, who is
the king of all familiars . His fierce fire engulfed the whole room in flames.
Nothing can kill a creature of darkness, that is what others know, but my fire and
light can both kill and harm them. The ruthless flames started everything in
sight along with the lowly pest. His screams echoed in the now lighted room.
The sound of flesh burning mixed with screams was a lullaby for my ears.
Sometimes, when I use my powers, I forget the everything along with the reason.
The only thing I remember at that moment is…. The feeling of our ecstasy and
freedom.
Dore! Theodore! You dimwit! Claire's voice snapped me back
to reality and the flames seemed to dim a bit as I lost focus.
Are you stupid? Oleander is still here! Do you wish to kill
her and us altogether? Claire asked with her voice filled with urgency.
I don't care about Clair and Isabelle or anyone in
particular, all I care about is Leticia. If anything were to happen her because
of me then…. I won't be able to forgive myself.. I looked one last towards my
Leticia before I transported then to my mansion with a single snap. They will
be safe there, I know that…. Now the only thing left is to give this lowly
pest, the punishment he deserves. I'll make sure that he would not dare to as
much as even look at Leticia's shadow from now onward. I'll make him regret every
decision he has made...
Claire's POV
This is bad! I don't know what is happening but I wish to kill the bastard responsible for my besties condition but then again, I think... Theodore would take care of it.
Right now, we are at Theodore's mansion [Winslar told me so I can't guarantee the truth of this fact]. And we are currently being served
and escorted by maids and knights like they show in those historical manhwas. But
the difference is... that not a single one of them is human.
The doctor examined Oli a while ago and that there was nothing to worry about. To be honest, I was pretty scared back at Oli's room.
Even though I have known Theodore for a short while, still this was my first
time seeing him like this, seeing him so angry.
One thing which I noticed was that Theodore's crimson red
eyes turned pitch black the moment he lost his cool, it was as if I was seeing darkness
eating up the light. But I do wonder why that happened….
Isabelle didn't say a thing since the whole incident. She
seems pretty shaken up and the only form of comfort she has right now… is that
eye patch guy. And I absolutely hate it! To me, Isabelle is like a sister and
this guy here has been flirting with her since the moment we came here.
On the other hand Winslar is not leaving my side, he looks
like a obedient puppy right now, and I him for that. Annoying bastard! But the
only thing I'm concerned about is that, it seems like oli has gotten herself an
untamed wild beast.....
