Chapter 527: Lost In Trickery-I
Gabriel sought his was through the forest cloaked in black where he had pulled his hood to cover his face and used less of his wings for transport as he knew it would only alarm his brother to know where he had gone. The path he took was dark but all of a sudden it didn't. A large blue fire appeared from the sky and he squinted his eyes only to find out it wasn't only blue fire flying on the sky but a man dressed in the sa black coat as the sky that almost turned him invisible. On both his hands were bright blue fires.
Pair of horns that glimred in a faint green color appeared on the sides of the man's head, warning Gabriel it was a demon. Before Gabriel could ask who it was and which high demon who had accessed blue fire descended to the mortal world and burn the forest, the demon sang, "Gabriel? Angel of truth, the bringer of good news. show where you are. We are here to et you."
Gabriel was ready to attack the demon in case he had ca to attack the humans. While it wasn't an angel's rights to lend even the slightest help to humans, as they were told to stay in balance, Gabriel could lend his help as it was a demon who had ca to attack.
He only didn't take it to his account that the high demon was Beelzebub and the demon was chasing for him. But why?! He had made sure to stay low.
"Gabriel?" Sung Beelzebub again and he clicked his tongue when he saw on the part of the forest that he had burned there was no Gabriel. "Is he still here?"
Heaven who had fly beside him sighed, "He is."
"And where is that mouse—" Beelzebub narrowed his eyes when he spotted Gabriel, "—oh found him already."
Gabriel quickly made his escape using his wings and was followed by Beelzebub in about a few ters away. "Where are you going! You know, I thought as an angel who never say lies, you are one of the last few angels who is clean in Heaven but I was proven wrong."
Gabriel saw the blue fire ball over Beelzebub's hand which he then launched toward him. By slight distance, Gabriel managed to avoid the fire, nipping only the edge of his wings. "I didn't know you are a fan of mine, Beelzebub. Chasing up until here. What do you want."
"Are you seriously questioning that? Ian said he needed to talk with you and I am here to bring you to him," Beelzebub noticed how Gabriel's face twisted upon the na. The man seed to be torn into two.
"I have to refuse," Gabriel uttered with clenched fists, "There are sothing I have to do—" he hadn't complete his words when Beelzebub had thrown massive blue flas over him again.
"Sothing which caused you to be separated from Heaven and went missing? I can't see how it is anything good. It's not possible that you are grouping with the wrongs, aren't you?" Beelzebub saw that upon his question Gabriel's facial expression twitched and flinched as if he was surprised how Beelzebub know about what he had hidden. "I am right?"
"I have said that I will not be coming to you." Gabriel, who had been going on the opposite side with his back facing Beelzebub and only turn his face slightly now turned his entire body to et Beelzebub. "But if you force , I don't have a choice."
"But to kill ," Beelzebub saved his breaths. "Or is that just the roundabout way of saying I will kill you?"
"Take it as you like," Gabriel spread his palm open before him and from his palm a large golden arrow and bow appeared from the thin air. "Don't bla for your own death."
Elise and Ian was able to co to the white mansion as the hour of the gate to be opened had ca. Elise expected them to co sowhere in the nowhere, but when they passed by the gate which didn't look like one as they had only walked into a tunnel made out of red chunky bricks, until they reached the end of the tunnel.
Elise wondered if they had been lost as there was only wall left to face her but to her surprise, Ian had tugged her hand and he walked through the wall. She followed him after, feeling the instant cold wind brushing her cheeks. Elise opened her blue eyes to et the large sun appearing from the horizon. The sky was blushed in between the blue and pink color. The beautiful color tinted the white blanket of snows in the faint pinkish orange color.
"We are back," Ian spoke after watching Elise who seed to be srized by the sky.
Turning her face, Elise found herself had entered the gate of White mansion, standing before the staircase that led to the entrance. "I think White Mansion is beautiful when there are more light shining to this building."
"Do you an our house is too gloomy?" Ian questioned when they both walked toward the upper part of the staircase.
"Just a little. Where is Maroon?" She asked curiously. Usually the butler would always sensed their arrival and beca the first person to greet them and opened the door but Maroon wasn't there.
Ian looked around the mansion, frowning slightly, "Strange, there is no presence of him. I rember they all went out yesterday evening."
"They should have co back then," whispered Elise. There had been more than ten hours since evening. "Do you think Maroon left to the town again?"
She saw Ian shake his head in response. "Maroon won't leave the mansion without my permission. He had never done so for more than five hundred of years. Sothing is off here." Sothing he could feel in the air but was intangible to be touch.
Elise turned instantly worried as well. She knew Maroon was not soone who would disappear all of a sudden. Unless there was sothing terrible that had transpired which pushed him to be absent until now.
Her hand settled her fingers on the golden door knob, and she was about to push open the door as no servant knew of their arrival when the door moved open by the person behind the door. Elise saw Mila who looked surprised when she saw Elise. Her lips parted to speak but when she noticed Ian, she changed her words, "Greeting, Lady Elise, Lord Ian," the woman bowed in polite respect.
"Where is Maroon? Did he told you where he is going?" Ian asked the head maid.
Mila was taken aback by the question, "I do not know, milord. Last evening, Sir Maroon, Lady Esther, and Lady Cynthia had left to the town. But when it was over midnight, Lady Esther alone had ca back."
"Where is she?" Elise questioned. As only Esther ca back ho, she might know what had happened to both Maroon and Cynthia. Did they possibility t an enemy?
"Since morning, Lady Esther asked to be left alone—" before Mila could continue, Elise shook her head. Imdiately she entered the mansion, making her way toward Esther's room, Elise knocked on the wooden surface multiple tis for no answer to co.
"There's no need for respect of privacy Elise; I will bring us both inside," Ian suggested the faster thod, giving his hand to Elise and she was about to take his hold and offer when the door flung open.
Esther peeked out from the gap of the door. "It's still early for knocking like tolling bell." Esther had just spoken and she raised her brows when seeing Elise. "Elise? What's wrong?"
