I crouched down beside Herena's still form, taking a mont to appreciate her beauty one last ti. The ocean blue waves of her hair lay spread out around her, framing her face like a halo. Her eyes, so blue and crystal-like, were now closed forever. With a heavy heart, I stood up and began to move towards the north side of the building, my eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of my son.
As I walked, mories of Herena flooded my mind. Her laughter, her touch, and her love - all of it seed so distant and yet so vivid at the sa ti, "ungrateful slut! If only it wasn't for her family's power and reputation!" I whispered.
The north side of the building was quiet and deserted, and I felt a pang of fear and desperation wash over . I called out my son's na, hoping against hope that he would hear and respond. But there was no answer, no sign of him anywhere.
I kept searching, my heart pounding in my chest, my mind racing with worry and fear, "fucking demon! Wait until I manipulate your power!" And then, just when I was about to give up, I saw a figure in the distance - a small, familiar figure that filled with relief and joy. It was my son, safe and unhard.
"Kayden, co here!"
With a crazed look in my eyes, I called out to Kayden, my voice rough and nacing. I tried to sound convincing, but the pain and dizziness made it hard to keep a steady tone. I knew I must have looked insane to my son, but I didn't care. I needed him to co closer, to stay by my side, so I could live.
Kayden hesitated, fear written all over his face. He didn't want to co any closer to , and I couldn't bla him. My head was bleeding, my eyes were wild, and I was barely holding it together. But I couldn't let him go, couldn't let him leave alone in this madness.
"Kayden, co here," I growled, my grip on his hand tightening. "We need to stick together, you and . Don't you see? They're all out to get us. We have to be strong."
He looked at for a mont, his eyes wide with terror. I could see him trembling, could feel his fear radiating from him like a palpable force. And yet, I couldn't stop myself. I had to keep going, had to keep pushing him to stay with .
"Co on, Kayden," I urged him, my voice getting louder and more forceful. "We have to go. You have to et soone!"
As we walked, I could feel his fear growing, his trust in waning. But I didn't care. I had to take him with no matter what it took. Even if it ant scaring him, even if it ant pushing him beyond his limits.
Looking back, I know that I must have seed crazy to him, a wild man on the verge of losing it all. But at that mont, all I could think about was keeping myself safe, no matter what the cost.
The reason behind the twins birth was to sacrifice them anyway… I fed them well, allowed them live a good life and now it was their ti to pay it back! While the bitch, Mariabelle was as useless as a blind dog, this beaver here was soone beneficial, "finally!" I shouted.
I finally managed to grab Kayden's hand and pull him up the stairs, my heart racing with fear and anticipation. I knew what I had to do, what I had to sacrifice to save myself. And I was willing to do it. Even if it ant sacrificing my own son.
But just as we reached the top of the stairs, Nari appeared in front of us, her eyes filled with tears and anger. She glared at , her eyebrows furrowed in a fierce expression that told to release the boy.
"Hector, what are you doing?" she cried out, her voice shaking with emotion. "Let Kayden go. He's just a child. He doesn't deserve to be sacrificed to that demon."
I paused for a mont, my heart torn between my duty and my love for my son. But then I hardened my resolve and pulled Kayden closer to .
"He was made for this part!"
Nari's eyes widened in shock and horror, and I could see the tears falling down her cheeks, "who do you think you're?!" I raised my voice, this peasant forgot to who she was talking to.
I watched in shock as Nari's eyes burned with anger, her gaze fixed on . "I hated you!" she spat, her voice low and full of venom. "Hated you more than anything, and after I was going to find out who killed my parents, I was going to co back for your head, Duke! But I will not be able to find the killer of my parents, but at least I will die with taking your head off with to hell!"
I could feel the blood draining from my face as Nari's words hit like a punch to the gut. "You little bitch, what are you talking about?" I asked, my voice shaking slightly. "I had nothing to do with your parents' death. But I will with yours!"
Nari's eyes narrowed, and I could see the rage burning even brighter within her. "Don't play dumb, Duke," she snarled. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. You took everything from , and now you're going to pay."
I felt a surge of anger and offense at Nari's words. "Took everything from you?" I repeated, my voice rising. "I took care of you for years, Rat. I gave you a ho, food, shelter. How dare you repay like this?"
Nari laughed bitterly. "You call that taking care of ?" she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "You were using , Duke. Using for your own purposes. And now you'll pay for it."
I shook my head in disbelief, unable to comprehend what was happening. "Bitch, please," I said, waving up my hands.
But Nari was already charging towards , her sword made of her mana raised high. I drew my own sword, steel clashing against steel as we engaged in a fierce battle.
"I killed your parents and I will kill you!" I growled, as my blood was boiling inside of .
For now, I had to focus on the battle before , on defending myself against Nari's relentless attacks. And as she swung her sword towards my head, I knew that I had to fight with all my might if I wanted to stay alive.
"Kayden, run!" She yelled at him.
