Chapter 535: Betrayer’s Price-III

In the second floor, Elise had been alarmed. When she heard the familiar voice, in one instance, she could tell whose voice it was as she had grew up hearing the woman\'s voice. Quickly, Elise made a run toward the opposite hallway. She hadn\'t run for too long and yet she could feel her heartbeat drumming against her chest quicker than the time she had came to meet her grandfather in his mansion.

She made pass by the corridor, sighting some other bodies that churn her stomach. The death wasn\'t her fault and she hadn\'t been the one to kill them and yet, in growing time, Elise\'s heart was consumed by guilt.

Some lesser demons went to attack her and Jett took care of it swiftly without bothering Elise who was running even for a moment. Most of the demons around the corridors were fortunately lesser demon and not dark sorcerers that allow Elise to quickly run to the source of the scream.

There, she saw Mila. The elder woman had fallen on the ground, her skirt torn and underneath it, and Elise could see her legs bleeding. Small lesser demons stood together in a group of five, ready to attack Mila altogether with their axe that glowed in red as if it had just been heated over the fire earlier.

"Jett!" Elise ordered and the shadows pierced the five lesser demons in many places, stopping their movements by seconds that not even one scratch could come to Mila.

Arriving next to Mila, Elise looked worried. She studied the wounds on the leg by her eyes, thankfully it had only been the older maid\'s leg that had been wounded and not her vitals.

"M-Milady..." whispered Mila, her breaths heaving in difficulty. Her eyes looked dazed until she saw Elise.

"Don\'t worry I\'m here now. We should go somewhere else to tend your wound," Elise hurried the words she said and took one of Mila\'s arm to round it over her neck but before she could raise her body, Mila clutched to her dress tightly.

Elise\'s eyes widened for a moment, alarmed as she thought Mila was hurting, "What\'s wrong?"

"I just remembered. You have to be careful, E-Elise," Mila coughed for a moment. "T-The female guest who came here not long ago; her name is Harriet. She was the one who had summoned these creatures here."

Harriet? Elise remembered the girl. But that was odd. From Ian, she had learned that the entire house had been surrounded by barrier. After Lucifer came Ian had strengthened the barrier surrounding the house. How can she enter as a human without the barrier deflecting her?

Elise poured her attention to Mila again. "I will keep that in mind. For now, we should move to my room. It is the safest there. Stay strong with me."

In a great difficulty as Mila was enduring the pain, the woman nodded her head slowly. With Elise\'s help, they moved from one of the corridor to the one near to her room. They hadn\'t been able to walk for long with Mila\'s injured leg when all of a sudden a man break into the mansion from the window near them.

Elise\'s eyes widened in surprise as the man slid into the corridor. His eyes then looked at Elise.

"The Demon\'s Bride!" The man chimed when he found her and he clapped his hands together. "Here you are. I have been searching for you everywhere. I thought my luck had plummet when those people chase after me. How dare that woman framed me as a raper."

Elise placed Mila to the nearest wall. It comes with plain sight that the man who stood before her was a man who meant nothing but ill intention. "Stay here, I will come back soon," Elise said to Mila.

The elder woman quickly took her by her hand and shake her head. "Elise, you shouldn\'t. This man seems to be dangerous. You can leave me here and go to your room."

"What are you saying?" Elise shook her head in response. "I will stay here with you."

Mila stared at her, noticing the girl that Ian had brought to the mansion had grown up so much. At first, Elise was a small and fragile child with fear of getting too close to people. Yet now, Mila could see how she had became so strong; strong enough to protect her.

Elise let the woman stay near the wall where it was safe and Mila also noticed the cross that Elise wore, feeling a little bit delighted.

"Who are you?" Elise came in front of the man.

The man stared at her before looking down at Mila. Elise took a careful step to shield Mila from the eyes of the man.

"I think by now you should have known my name. I am Thomas, milady," he offered her a bow, being deliberately polite.

"Thomas," Elise repeated the name and her eyes narrowed. "You were the one who worked with the Dark Sorcerer Lord. What do you want to do here?"

Thomas looked around the house, "Is there anything more valuable to this house than you, Milady? No treasure can compare to you."

Elise gave him a frown, "You are mistaken if you think I am a treasure. I might be a treasure to those who treasures me but not the likes of you. Tell me what do you plan to do in this house?"

"I have told you haven\'t I already?" Sighed Thomas and he pushed his fringe to the back of his head, "I am here to bring you. We just got a news from one of the Relics that we took. She confessed that The Demon\'s Bride are the key."

"Key to what?"

"Key to subdue Hell," Thomas\' lips curled higher. "It\'s just that there\'s a famous legend in Hell it\'s about—"

"I know," Elise cut him off because she had heard her grandfather\'s words. "But killing one person doesn\'t mean I will ever subdue Hell."

"Oh, you never know because after that scroll that the High Demon Asmodeus written, there\'s a second verse following that one but it was kept in Heaven by a woman angel. It says that the granddaughter of Satan will brought all living beings in this world underneath her feet."

Elise\'s eyes widened in this that she haven\'t learned. Mila who was sitting on the ground was even more earth shattered by the revelation.
