"Mmff."
dusa tried to revolt against the intruder's audacious act of covering her mouth and to assu he was better than her in terms of strength. The woman was tucked to the wall quite forcefully and stared at the man in front of her. It took her a few monts to recognise the guy due to the obvious dim lights.
"Don't scream or I will kill you right here."
The man's utter warning resonated in her ears and the truthfulness was indicated from the crimson eyes which stared at her intently. After making sure with her imminent nod the man released her silhouette from his nearly squeezing grip.
"What are you doing here?"
dusa didn't bother to hold back her rage upon seeing the man, but ventilated her anger in a whisper while gritting her teeth. It was evident she wanted to hide his presence from everyone in the house. The tall man had a long vertical scar over his face, which added fright to his appearance along with the crimson eyes.
Ceres snickered at her with a mocking gaze as if his intentions were either to insult dusa or to intimidate her. Although it was clear he was not a friend of hers or would have treated her better. He seed to be in his late thirties but his body still contained the youthful muscles and brawly looks, along with the fangs and crooked horns indicating his race.
"Why? Are you scared to see , cupcake?"
dusa gulped upon hearing those words, the last ti she heard them the succubus was beaten black and blue. Ceres stepped away from his daughter while his eyes clearly stared at her frightened face. He knew the expressions and it satisfied his ego, while the man smirked and headed towards the sofa without any hesitation.
"I- I am not scared. I'm just asking, why are you here? What do you want?"
The succubus was not a frightful person but people have so unopened doors of the past, which they never disclose or tell in the midst of people. She knew how Ceres had co there and it didn't require him any efforts due to being favoured by Evilrite.
The atmosphere of the room changed and beca serious upon their conversations. Ceres initially wore a poker face which shifted to a dejected puppy one, however dusa was not swayed by his whole act. The succubus knew his every nook and cranny which only reeked of loyalty towards Evilrite. dusa never accepted the fact the particular man was her father let alone accepting his treachery towards his own nation.
"Don't be harsh like that with . I'm your father, we are a part of each other."
The man hit her emotionally vulnerable and hateful side of the life, it infuriated dusa regarding the words spouted by him. The succubus clenched her fist while she still held the knife in her hand, however Ceres seed to be careless about his daughter's actions.
"I am not related to you, we haven't even seen each other since years. And now you are here out of nowhere claiming your right over !?"
Ceres seed to be ready for those harsh words, and did not appear bothered by them. He had gotten used to such dramatic speech ever since he murdered dusa' mother and left his children to starve. There was pain and tears in her crimson eyes which appeared n less than blood dripped on her cheeks.
"I know I have so much wrong, but I'm ashad over it dusa."
He stood up from the sofa and dawdled past the shelf, Ceres took out a glass from the cabinet and poured water in it. Whereas dusa remained rooted there with her grieving gaze glued to the floor. The woman did not know how to react to all that conversation which potentially hurt her undoubtedly.
"I hope you can forgive your dad, and we can start anew after all you are my only flesh and blood."
dusa widened her eyes upon his big words which he had never said to her before. She did not want to believe in him but could not help upon witnessing his considerate actions. Ceres fetched her a glass of water and supported her to the sofa acknowledging she was shit scared of him.
She plopped in the sofa and took a few small sips of water, whereas Ceres knelt in front of her and reached for dusa' hands. The succubus could not understand whether his whole speech and warm actions were genuine, or the man was clearly pretending for so reason. Hereby I ask you, what do you think would be favour he intended to extort from his own daughter!?
"It's...it's not easy to forget everything like it never happened. It was not a bad dream, I can't neglect that you killed my mother and abandoned ."
Her voice rose as the pain was visible on her hysterically crying face. Ceres applied so pressure over her hands and traced his thumb over dusa' knuckles to soothe her. He heaved a sigh and resud the speech to make sure his words would created a soft spot in her heart.
"I know, cupcake and I really am ashad about it. I know I have committed so many grave sins and I....I even scared you earlier. I'm genuinely sorry, love. Please forgive your dad."
Ceres sounded genuinely concerned and conscience stricken which resounded from his shallow tone. dusa saw directly in his eyes and couldn't spot any doubt, maybe he ca this far only to et her. The succubus was resorted to think about the whole situation, while she pretended to remain calm.
'No, no. I can't get swayed by his sweet talks. Sothing is definitely wrong here, he must have a malicious reason to approach . But how the heck he knew about my whereabouts?'
dusa stared at him quietly for a few monts before she decided to act normal to see through his facade. The succubus leaped forward and hugged him tight to display her affection, because to get to know the enemies one has to earn their trust.
