Nyxeria growls and was ready to pounce on Aridalle but Justin restrained her .
" Ma'am, My Lord will be displeased if he finds out that you attacked his bri-- err wife "
She scoffs flinging his hands off her , eyes still locked on Aridalle . " This is not over pathetic human... You will surely regret this "
Aridalle blinks cutely " ion know why you're angry , Cinderella's stepmom grandma is a pretty old woman "
" My lady " Zenovia mummers pinching her arm.
" Whattttt I'm not lying, my mommy always say it's not good to lie "
Nyxeria fumes , rage building inside her ... This useless vessel indirectly called her a grandma and still has the nerve to say being old is beautiful.
" You've made enemies with the wrong person human "
She spits directly on the floor and storms away while Justin rushes after her.
" What just happened" Aridalle mutters sitting down .
Zenovia sighs letting out the breath she has been holding since .
" You shouldn't have said that my lady ... She is not someone you can mess with "
Aridalle pouts " but she wanted to hurt you with that fire the came out of her hands *pauses* how did she do that anyway"
" Wait so you don't even know "
" Know what ? "
She sighs looking at cute huge eyed Aridalle " Nyxeria is an immortal being like master and she is someone close to him "
Aridalle blinks confused " I understand the part that she is not human but how is she close to Master "
" Err you see " Zenovia mummers nervously not knowing how to put the word for her .
Her gaze meets Aridalle whose eyes were getting more puppy like.
" Argh don't look at me like that "
" Like what ??? "
Zenovia shakes her head " well she's he's mistress"
" Mistress " Aridalle mutters , the strange word sounding weird to her own ears .
" What does that mean "
Zenovia sighs expecting that question. " To put it more bluntly, she is master's sex partner "
" What ! " Aridalle gasps " they're doing the unholy thing meant only for married couples"
She looks at her surprise " how did you know that it's unholy "
" The foster mothers always talk about it , they say having sex is bad for teenagers and unmarried people " Aridalle states frowning.
Zenovia smiles, this her lady is really naive... " They really taught you well "
" They sure did " she replies smiling like she has never been hurt , memories of all the suffering she went through in the foster home runs through her mind .
DRACUKI WATCH TOWER.
๑ Seraphim's chambers
He sat majestically on his seat going through files that vaelric gave him , it contains personal information about Aridalle.
" My old man always one step ahead of me " he remarked dryly , jaw clenched .
The room temperature drops and Vaelric appears bowing.
" My Lord , this is the last records on Aridalle that I've gathered both her parents down to the beginning of their existence " he drops the files on the table .
Seraphim nods lightly opening them one after another
" I believe you have gone through them "
" Yes my Lord but I could not find any answers on why the
key did not awaken " Vaelric uttered.
He chuckles, lips pressed in a thin line . " Is this supposed to be a mystery for me to solve ?"
Drumming his fingers on the table Vaelric chuckles " unfortunately yes my Lord , you have to keep a close watch on her if you can find anything useful while I'll try getting answers from Drizella
( the all seeing powerful witch , she has being around since the beginning of time )
Seraphim looks at him , his eyes glinting faintly - ethereal gold . " That dumb witch is very tricky she might try something stupid"
" Allow me my Lord , I'll handle her perfectly" Vaelric replied bowing.
Cold , emotionless eyes glinting in the faint light as Seraphim scans him .
" Take whatever you need from the maze of endless riches " .
Vaelric nods standing up straight... " I'll be back immediately I get answers "
He bows one more time and vanishes leaving chilly air behind.
Seraphim leans back on the chair resting his head back in the head rest ...
" Aridalle.... Damn that naive lamb " he mutters deadpanned.
COLD HEAVEN.
*Solmai's chambers.
Sariel walks through the hallway leading to his father's chambers ... His magnificent wings standing out tall and proud , his long dark hair wrapped his face like silk.
Guardian angels guarding the hallways bowing as he passed.
Here they're also ranks .
- Celestial hierarchy for cold heaven
Rank 1. celestial ruler , Solmai.
EMPYREAN KING: supreme sovereign of cold heaven.
Rank 2 . Seraphim, ARCHAN OF DAWN : once the morning flame now the fallen and cast out but still powerful.
Rank 3. Sariel, CROWN OF FLAME : close to the celestial ruler bearer of divine fire .
Rank 4. Michael , ARCHANGEL OF WAR : leader of all warrior angels .
Rank 5. GUARDIAN ANGELS : guards cold heaven and mortal realm .
- other lesser angels observe the mortal realm .
Solmai looks up as his son enters , somehow pissed off.
" Hm to who do I owe this visit "
He bows stiffly " father word just came to me that Seraphim just located the key vessel and she is now bounded to him "
Solmai stroked his long bears " hmm yes arch Michael informed me "
" The why was I kept in the dark " he hissed .
" You are busy with divine meeting with the heavenly pillars " .
Sariel sighs " give me the permission father to take the key vessel whose name is Aridalle and extract the key from her before Seraphim does "
He shakes his head knowing the conversation will get to this point. " No sariel , extracting the key before it awakens means killing her and it is a taboo to kill an innocent mortal "
Sariel clenched his fist " but father this is the only way to avoid the war seraphim is planning to start once he gets the key "
" I rather let the war happen than to shed the blood of an innocent mortal " Solmai cuts in .
He scoffs almost fuming . " Father you did this yourself a thousand years ago to the first and only key bearer before her so I don't understand why you can't do it now "
Solmai's gaze turns sharp and unflinching.
" I took the key from the Constantine because he was corrupted but Aridalle is nowhere near evil even though parasitic entities hover round her so why will I end her and you know what happens if the key is extracted forcefully"
He lowers his head " you will be unable to reincarnate becoming an entity wondering from realm to realm "
" Good I'm glad you still remember. That girl Aridalle is more than a key vessel I intended to make her Seraphim's doom or redemption" Solmai states .
Sariel frowns not liking the sound of the second option. " The first option will be a lot better father "
He nods stroking his long beard sinking into deep thoughts
" I see, you may leave " waves his hand dismissively .
Sariel bows and leaves .
MORTAL REALM .
ENCHANTED CASTLE.
Later that night
Aridalle is lying down belly flat on the bed , her legs swinging in the air as she listened to college stories Zenovia told.
Note: Zenovia is currently 26 , she graduated from college three years ago and was looking forward to being a lawyer but unfortunately she found out her mom struck a deal with the fallen angel when they were in debt and now she's indebted to him forever.
" Wow , college life must be so interesting... I wish I can experience it too, you know the foster mothers were our teachers so attending outside school was a no " Aridalle sighed twirling her hair absentmindedly.
Zenovia smiles softly reaching out to stroke her hair . " It's going to be okay "
She seats up " maybe I can talk to Mr stone faced about it .. "
" So that what .... "
" He will register me in college of course after all I'm just eighteen so I'm not too old or young to be there "
Zenovia looks at her surprised " err my lady , the college is not for fragile minds like yours "
" Hey I have the heart of a lion, don't underestimate me zenovia " Aridalle exclaimed .
She chuckles " okay , okay .. anyway my mom is preparing dinner so it will soon be ready "
Aridalle sighs pursing her lips " I feel like your mom hates me, ever since I came here she has not said a word to me "
" My lady that is because she is just being professional " Zenovia mummers not really knowing what to say.
Bitting her nails , Aridalle leaned back on the bed staring at the night like ceiling.
An hour later in the main hallway .
Seraphim appears staring emotionlessly in mid space .
The air seemed different, it no longer felt cold but it was filled with warmth and something he hasn't experienced in a long time 'happiness'
Justin sensed his arrival and hurries towards him bowing immediately.
" good to have you back my Lord "
He nods barely glancing at him , his footsteps echoing as he climbed the stairs leading ti his suite.
Madira trots towards him and bows lowly.
" Welcome back master , I'll prepare your usual meal right away "
He nods , frozen eyes set forward as he walked away with Justin.
In Aridalle's suite .
The door opens slowly and madira enters... She bows to Aridalle who was half asleep in zenovia's arms .
" Sorry to disturb you madame but my daughter's presence is needed "
Aridalle seats up rubbing her eyes cutely " what's happening "
" My Lord has arrived and I need my daughter's help in the kitchen " Madira replied flatly.
She gasps , her eyes going wide " oh really he is around"
Madira nods getting impatient " yes madame, and also I kindly ask you not to leave your room until I come for you , dinner will be brought by Zenovia"
" Why ?? " Aridalle said pursing her lips .
Zenovia sighs " it's for your own safety my lady "
° Who knows if my Lord is still angry about the key stuff °
They bow and leaving Aridalle alone in the room .
Half an hour later.
Aridalle is still sulking in her room then she decided to have a peep outside .
" It wouldn't hurt if I get a glimpse of what is happening" she mutters opening the door quietly and steps out.
The entire hallway was empty and silent so she tiptoed looking sideways nervously.
After walking a long way from her room she hears footsteps, like the speed of the light she ducks into a corner .
Taking a peep she sees madira walking fast with a tray of covered dishes .
° she must be heading to Mr stone faced room° Aridalle thought watching her intensely.
Creeping quietly she followed madira to seraphim's suite.
Madira stopped in front of a massive door reaching the ceiling and knocked softly before entering..... After some seconds she came out and walks away .
Aridalle tiptoed out of her hiding place , standing in front of the massive door the urge to take a look inside was so strong.
° I'll just take a look and come out quickly ° she thought pushing the double door open and slips inside.
In there was another world entirely, it was decorated in ruby decors and dim gold chandelier lights .
Aridalle strained her eyes trying to adjust to the darkness, her gaze laned on the massive canopy bed .
" Wow only him sleeps here " she mutters .
Rushing water sound was heard from the bathroom and she guessed he must be taking his bathe .
" So immortal beings also take a shower how weird" she mummers looking around.
" Well I've seen enough" turning her heels she heads back to the door when she heard footsteps behind her.
" Look who decided to see me " a cold voice coaxed.
Aridalle shivered, his icy voice sending shivers down her spine .
She faces him reluctantly and freezes .
In the center of her room , Seraphim stood stark naked in his glory , the dim light focused on him and every little detail of his body never missed her eye.
Her eyes went from his wet dark hair dripping with water , to his broad powerful shoulders ... Down to his abs well defined ... Her wide eyes kept going down recording every detail in her little head .
Aridalle turns white as her gaze goes lower and lower , her breath seem to seize as her eyes meets the monstrous yet magnificent thing staring back at her .
His dick was already doing the standing ovation.
Long , veiny and huge all at once .
Her eyes were already wide like coconut and her jaw dropped to the ground.
" Oh my gosh" (´⊙ω⊙`)!
" Enjoying the view I see " he purred darkly.
