Slayer's trust and faith in Malice grew even more towards the hybrid Kamaira and he said, "You have nothing to apologize to me for and you didn't do anything wrong for you to think you had to kneel like that Malice." Slayer's tone was short and cold. "You wouldn't have done anything wrong by not saying anything concerning the girl you met, because you didn't know but I thank you for letting me know when it might be my sister." Slayer finished talking to Malice and then he stood up from his chair and demanded, "Rise!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty" Malice relied back to Slayer, before rising up.
"Tell me, did the girl you caught have blue hair and beautiful purple eyes?" Slayer asked. This would answer any doubt that he would have if it was truly his sister or not.
"Yes, Sir." Malice replied back right away.
"So it is in fact my little sister that you have met."Slayer said as he narrowed his eyes and clenched his jaw.
He was getting a little irked because He just couldn't think of any reason why Vishious would have Sinyster here with him on this visit and since when did they even start going around each other? Vishious hated Sinyster and Sinyster was terrified of their two oldest brothers.. It just didn't make sense to him.
He then recollected that Vishious was obligated to provide an answer as per their agreement, whereby Vishious would answer one of Slayer's questions in exchange for the information that was given concerning the dead General. However, it was evident that Vishious was currently absent from the palace, as his aura had dissipated earlier. Therefore, Slayer had no choice but having to wait for Vishious to return.
Just then Malice broke his thoughts by asking, "How do you want to go about this situation Sir.? Should we confront them both head on or should we just keep acting as if you don't know about Sinyster and meet up with her tomorrow?" Malice asked in a serious, dark tone. The look on his face showed clearly how pissed off he was about possibly being played in whatever plan Sinyster and Vishious had.
Slayer thought about it for a moment and as much as he wanted to go straight up to the guest room that he now knew was Sinyster's room, he had to stop himself, thinking there had to be a reason as to why Sinyster had asked Malice to not mention her name to anyone.
'Are you scared of Vishious?" Slayer couldn't help but keep asking in his mind. He was pretty sure he knew the answer to that but he couldn't help but also wonder how much things might have changed since he had seen his sister last. But, until he knew for sure Slayer didn't want to do anything that could possibly get her hurt or for them both to leave without getting any answers, he knew he had to go about this situation carefully.
If Vishious did have something over Sinyster than he couldn't help but think, ' Oh little sister, what have you done?', a crease came to form in between Slayer's brows and his eyes narrowed as he thought about this. He knew all too well just how naive Sinyster was and it wouldn't be hard for someone like Vishious to take advantage and get Sinyster involved in something that she needed help getting out of, or to get herself trapped in something that she would be indebted to pay back if she had needed help getting herself out of some kind of trouble.
"For now we'll let things go as planned and have you meet up with her tomorrow, we'll see if you can get any answers as to why she's here with Vishious or see if she shows any signs that she's even worth thinking we can trust." Slayer finally said to Malice, his tone was cold and venomous.
"Yes, Sir." Was all Malice said in response.
"But..." Slayer added. A mischievous smile slowly started to to spread on his lips. Making Malice cock his head a little to the side as he looked at Slayer and wondered what had popped into his mind. Slayer finished what he was thinking, "It would be quite rude to have guests and not invite them for dinner." Slayer looked at Malice and his eyes held a dangerous gleam in them.
*************""""""************
Meanwhile, up in the guest room that Sinyster was occupying, she was pacing impatiently and nervously back and forth. The only thing she had been doing since she had returned to her room after visiting Vishious earlier.
It was only then that she had come to realize when she had finally been able to look at herself in a mirror that she still had a few leaves and twigs in her hair that she had failed to remove when Malice had let her sit up. She knew that Vishious wouldn't have missed noticing that and it made her worry even more that he had chosen to not say anything and he instead had disappeared after speaking to her.
She also knew that she had not been so smooth and Vishious had seen through her lies right away. She just had to hope and pray that the Kamaira who had caught her would keep his word and not mention her name to anyone, especially Slayer.
'Why wouldn't he say anything? What am I going to do if Vishious finds out for sure that my identity was revealed? Right now he only suspects if anything'. Sinyster couldn't help but keep thinking the worst outcomes over and over in her mind about being caught, but she also couldn't help but feel like she could trust the Kamaira. "Ok, if nothing happens the rest of today or tonight than I'll know Malice didn't say anything and then I'll just have to remember to go and meet up with the Kamaira tomorrow." She whispered out loud to herself as she continued to pace back and forth.
'But then again he did say to watch the Kamaira and see if I could possibly find something out; so technically, this could help me in getting something that Vishious might find useful to him and make him happy.' Sinyster's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a knock at the door that almost gave her a heart attack.
'Why would someone be knocking on the door?' She thought while hurriedly putting the cloak on and pulling the hood up to cover her face. Another knock and this time it was a little harder, she walked to the door and slowly opened it. Just enough so she could see through the crack she had allowed the door to open to.
"S-s-sorry for bothering you, but H-his Majesty has requested the guests to join Him t-tonight for dinner." Stuttered a maid who stood there with her head bowed as she spoke.Sinyster could clearly see the poor maid was shaking in fear. She opened the door a little more and this had the maid back up a couple steps but still keeping her head bowed.
The maid continued to say, "I t-tried knocking on L-lord V-vishious' door as well but h-he didn't answer." You could tell that she was fighting the urge to run.
"I will let Lord Vishious know about the dinner request." Sinyster let the maid know, she couldn't help but feel bad for the terrified maid that stood before her.
The maid looked up without thinking out of shock when she heard the voice of the guest, The voice belonged to a woman and it sounded kind. This wasn't at all what the maid had expected to hear, but realizing her mistake the maid quickly lowered her head, she had done wrong by looking up without being given permission to do so, "I-i a-apologize for my rudeness and d-disrespect by lifting up m-my head. P-please forgive me?" Pleaded the maid.
"Please, don't be afraid and I would prefer you to please lift your head." Sinyster said to the maid through the gap in the door that was now bigger. The maid lifted her head and for some reason she felt at ease listening to the person who spoke to her. The maid said, "Thank You...." She trailed off, she wasn't sure how to address the person or what to call the person.
"MiLady!" Sinyster informed her, not wanting anyone to know her name still. She then asked the maid, "What is your name?" This surprised the maid for she had never been asked by any one of the Demons she had come across while working here her name. She was a servant and their names didn't matter and neither did their lives.
"My name is Loree, MiLady." The maid answered As she stood looking at the hooded figure in the doorway. She was in her mid-30s, soft spoken with a medium build and a timid demeanor. Her brown hair she always kept braided tightly and wrapped into a neat bun. Her eyes carry a constant, watchful awareness - the kind born from years of surviving where silence is safer than being heard. But Sinyster couldn't help but notice a naivety about her as well, as if still believing that not all demons were cruel and evil.
The maid then asked,"Do you need anything, MiLady?"she was obviously thankful to have met someone who seemed nice.
"Yes, please. I actually Would be rather grateful if you could possibly get me a picture of water and maybe some fruit as well?" Sinyster asked the maid. She then added, "But please be discreet about it." hoping that the maid wouldn't tell anyone about Vishious' company being a woman.
"Yes, MiLady. I'll be back shortly." Loree said, bowing her head as she answered and she then quickly left down the hall.
Sinyster then closed the door when the maid walked off, she couldn't help but be nice to the maid. She had never been one to treat or be rude to those that served her. It was her being like this that made her different from her brothers and made it where the oldest ones didn't like or accept her. She couldn't help but think about home and she missed and longed to be back there with those she cared about.It had been a few months now since she had left and had come to be with Vishious.
'It'll be soon that I'll get to go home' she said softly to herself in her mind. A hint of determination and desperation showed on her face.
A little while went by before she heard a light knock on the door and she hurried to get off her bed and go to the door to open it. She opened it to hear the maid say, "Here MiLady," Loree said as she stood there bowing her head, holding a tray in front of her with a pitcher of water and a bowl that had various fruits and some nuts on it.
"Oh, Thank you so much for this." Sinyster said as she took the tray from her.
"You're welcome, MiLady and if you should need anything else please let me know." Loree said before she then realized that she wasn't sure how in fact the lady would know how to get ahold of her. She quickly said, "I can just come back this evening or in a little while if you'd like and check to see if you're needing anything, MiLady?"
"I'd very much appreciate it if you could possibly come back in a little while?" Sinyster said. Her voice was sweet and you could hear her appreciation towards the maid's thoughtfulness.
"Ok I'll be back in a little while. I hope you'll enjoy what I have brought you." Loree bowed her head lightly again.
"Thank you so much for your help and I'll see you soon." Sinyster said as she closed the door, she was absolutely starving and couldn't wait to be able to eat and drink what the maid had brought her.
Sinyster had finished almost everything that was in the bowl, deciding to keep a couple things to save for herself for later and she had just finished the last of the water that was in the pitcher. She felt much better and figured she'd take a short nap while she waited for Vishious to return to let him know of the dinner request.
She couldn't help but wonder if Vishious had gone back to his Realm and if he did if he went there to check on the one he had taken from her? She could only hope that she was ok.
