Chapter 411:
Lucia's Point of View
Unknown Location
"Let him go!" I cried out
Rolling her eyes, she replied. "Oh, stop. He just woke up to join us! Give him a mont before you start worrying him." Alwin thrashed about, and I saw his magic activate before it diminished instantly. "That's it. Let the situation sink in." She whispered to him in his ear gently.
Alwin's breathing was hard as I could see his chest heave. His eyes were narrowed as he looked around. Anger quickly welled up along with concern as he studied . Eventually, it dawned on him how bad our situation was when he saw the blood dripping down my arm. He paled at that, and he even grew more irate when he examined the table separating us that held multiple Zugal wings.
I would like to say he cald down, but he rely stopped thrashing about as he seethed in a more subdued manner. That is until our captor held up my finger in front of his face. His eyes widened as they quickly shifted from the detached appendage to the blood dripping down my arm.
"I really do like beautiful things." Her eyes latched onto mine. "Don't you?" Then she squeezed harder and shook his head a bit. "He is almost perfect, isn't he?" That caused Alwin to try and glare at her.
"What do you want from !? I already told you I'd do what you want! Just leave him alone! Don't hurt him anymore!"
"Oh, child. You still don't understand. Both of you have your roles." Her magic ignited as she removed her hand, but Alwin had a spell placed over his lips now. "The thing is, I don't think you know anything. A girl who never wanted for anything. Well, almost anything. The freedom to co and go as she pleases took a while, but it finally ca!" A small smirk returned to her lips. "Although, that in itself got you into this ss."
I tried to struggle once more in vain. "Why are you doing this? If what you believe is true, why take it out on ?"
A giggle escaped her lips. "Because that's the only way I can get back at anyone." Slowly sauntering over to , she placed my finger on the table before she traced her bloody knuckles down my cheek. "You, who knows nothing, are everything to so." Then she looked over her shoulder at Alwin. "So, who are very important." He let out many mumbled protests as his chest heaved. "I doubt you know anything worthwhile." She said as she tapped my nose gently.
My eyes followed hers as she stepped back. "Then you plan on torturing to get back at Arceana?"
Her head bobbed back and forth as she gave a vague response. "Kind of. Arceana is definitely a bonus, but General Alwin Farro..." She trailed off as she gestured to him. "His knowledge could be worthwhile."
"Do you realize that your ti is limited?" I asked her.
"Why? Do you believe that Arceana is coming to rescue you? Maybe so reinforcents are coming, and they'll sohow stumble upon us?" She questioned back. "I have you as a hostage. That's where your role cos into play. If Arceana cares about you, she won't react rashly." Giving her a weak chuckle seed to irk her as her eyebrow twitched. "Does this amuse you?"
"A little." I answered honestly.
She examined a minute before she chuckled herself. "I must admit, I did not think you were one to laugh in this situation. Is it because you're slowly losing your wits and have given up, or is it perhaps sothing else?"
My eyes focused on hers with an intensity that made her frown. "You're going to die."
"And how did you co to this incredible prophecy?"
"It's no prophecy. When a week passes, maybe two, you will be hunted down." Then I gestured to so of the guards around the room. "Many of you will be." Another weak chuckle escaped my lips. "So, no matter what you do to , just know that your ti will co."
The woman was quiet for a mont, but only a mont. "That is interesting!" She said as she burst out laughing and made her way across the room in a few strides. "I'd love to hear how it's going to happen, but first, you're in need of a lesson!" Stopping next to Alwin, he seed to steel himself as he knew what was coming.
Realizing what was about to happen, I whispered out shakily. "Wait- I-I was wrong! Please don't hurt him!"
"Threatening your captor is not the smartest thing to do." Tracing her fingers across his face, she continued. "He really is handso." She stated.
"It was ! I said it! Please!"
"You know, I think I could probably match the scars right this ti."
"No!" I scread and tried to break my restraints once more.
I watched in horror as she placed her finger on his left cheek. "What do you think?" She activated her magic.
"I take it back!"
"You don't need to! We need to get his face more symtrical, rember? Give him that perfect ruggedness." Then she shrugged as her finger dug into his cheek, which got him to flinch. "It may take away from so of his softer features and retract from how handso he is, but I bet it'd still be endearing."
"Pleas-" My voice caught in my throat.
Blood sprayed out across the room. Alwin cried out in pain as she instantly ran her finger across the entirety of his face. Through his nose, skipping his part of his eyebrow, and continuing across the upper right of his forehead. Blood dripped down half his face as I watched wide-eyed. It was careless and cruel. Thankfully, it didn't seem like it got his eye, but he was writhing in pain. My heart ached as I could only watch as his eyes were shut tight as blood continued to pour.
Another giggle escaped her lips. "Wow! I really ssed up that ti." She looked at and shrugged. "My bad."
