Chapter 3 - Ritual Gone Wrong

The air was still and heavy , everyone was too stunned to speak .... The priest was trembling slightly fearing for his life .

Nyxeria blinks in surprise, there was no any sign of a key and the look on seraphim's face was priceless.

" Oh looks like we gat the wrong vessel *grins* you're worse than useless " she says loudly .

Immortal beings present at the wedding, shift nervously away from her none daring to make a sound.

Vaelric teleports to her and grabs her tightly by the neck.

" should I rip out your tongue or your eye balls"

She gasps struggling to free herself " none of the above"

" Then shut the fuck up" he fumes .

She bows her head slightly feeling embarrassed, all eyes was on them .

From where Zenovia stood , she was shaking from fear .... Seraphim's aura was oozing out darkly, his silence was torturing.

" Mom I'm scared " she mutters gripping Madira's arm tightly.

Madira sighs squeezing her hand back , her eyes still on statue like Seraphim and confused Aridalle.

" Don't worry darling, he won't do anything to us "

" No .... I'm talking about her "

Madira frowns " I told you not to get attached to her Zenovia, whatever master do to her is none of our business "

She pouts staring sadly at Aridalle.

Aridalle looked around still confused, the shocked looks on everyone's face was what she couldn't understand.

She touched the back of her shoulder briefly, the stabbing pain was gone.

" What's happening"

Seraphim looks up finally, his eyes blazing.... All his hopes he had just came down crashing, where the fuck will he get the key .

He grabs Aridalle's wrist roughly and they disappear causing uproar among the guests.

◉DRACUKI WATCH TOWER◉ .

Aridalle gasps in shock when they appeared there , the place was was terrifying ... The sitting room was coated in red and black, draped with shadows, dim red chandelier lights casted on the room giving it grim reaper vibes.

Not having time to look around , she was pinned to the wall with speed , her eyes widened in shock as her back meets the wall .

" What trick are you playing now vessel , release the key now ' he growls

Aridalle blinks confused " i-i don't understand what's happening.... What key , oh you mean the key to my doll house *giggles* it's in the foster home "

He scoffs , his eyes glowed red and with a twinkle of an eye .. his hands was clamped tight on her tiny neck .

" Just one snap and your head will come rolling on the ground "

Aridalle gasps blinking back tears.

" Pls stop ...I beg you "

It was as if she was talking to a deaf person cause he tightened his grip on her neck .

Her face started to lose colour and her eye lashes flickered , she was already losing consciousness...

Gust of cold wind blew and Vaelric appears bowing immediately.

" My Lord "

Seraphim releases her and she drops to the ground like a heap of clothes .

" What is it " he growls still pissed off .

" The guests are requesting for permission to leave "

Seraphim closes his eyes briefly, he has been embarrassed today in front of all the immortal beings that is a stain to his ego.

He waves his hand dismissively " I know they can't wait to spread the news anyway release them'

His gaze shifts to Aridalle who was still on the floor.

" And get this thing out of my sight "

Aridalle gasps and grabs his leg without thinking. " Pls no , I don't want to go back the foster home"

He looks at her deadpanned, his eyes lifeless yet enticing.

" Get your hands off me "

She shakes her head stubbornly .

" Pls no I have no life there "

Her eyes were filled with tears and they were falling like rain .

(༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ)

Vaelric sighs in pity even though the key was awakened his master will still dispose her after he takes it .

He swings his hand and she was lifted up in the air and brought to his side .

" We must go now earthling... Do not provoke my Lord "

Aridalle cleans her tears as her feet touched the cold marble tiles , accepting her horrible fate .. going back to the foster home will mean only one thing DEATH .

" Wait " Seraphim's icy voice said

They look at him , Aridalle literally put up the most cutest puppy eyes she could come up with .

His cold gaze swept through her with unhidden disgust .

" Take her back to the castle... I'm not done with her yet "

She gulps feeling the threat behind those words .

" Yes my Lord " Vaelric bows and vanishes with her .

◉COLD HEAVEN◉

The place beats imagination, every spot made with sparkling diamonds.... Clouds looking like ice cream puffs .. streets glittering with gold .

Angels are seen flying around, their beautiful wings glowing in the light . Both high ranked angels and low ranked angels were in perfect harmony doing their usual activities.

In Solmai's chambers located in the highest tower.

He sat majestically in his seat .... going through files obtained from earth and it contains information on them .

The door opens and one of his high ranked arch angels 'Micheal ' flew in ..... His wings strong and magnificent.

" My Lord " his deep voice echoing.

Solmai continues his work barely acknowledging his presence.

" Reports from our spies in the human world says that the fallen bastard has found the key vessel .... Should we prepare for war ? "

" Hmmm " Solmai mutters his eyes still on the file .

He is not surprised that Seraphim has found the key vessel cause he was expecting it soon .

After embedding the celestial key into the soul of a yet to be born human child he knew that desperate Seraphim will soon find out.

" Is he with the key " he asks

Michael shakes his head " no my Lord the reports also said the key did not awaken even though she is of age "

" I know that would happen, I wasn't dumb to put that key in a human " Solmai smirks.

Michael bows " what's your order my Lord "

" We seat back and watch "

" My Lord.... "

Solmai waves his hand dismissively " you can leave "

" Yes my Lord " Michael bows and flies out.

ENCHANTED CASTLE

Aridalle was sprawled on the bed crying..... Vaelric dropped her here an hour ago with a blank expression on his face.

" I hate that stone face man , how can he be my husband "

She rolled back and forth pouting.

The door creaks open and Zenovia peeps in scanning her.

" My lady.... Can I come in "

Aridalle sighs sitting up "

yeah "

She enters slowly. " I heard you crying my lady "

" Yes I was.... Stone face man wants to send me back to that horrible place "

Zenovia frowns " Stone face man ?? "

" Yeah " she pouts cutely.

" My lady , Lord Seraphim is not stone faced *pauses as the cold look on his face floated in her head* well maybe he is ... "

Aridalle giggles and then paused, the smile vanishing from her face

" He almost killed me today " her hands going up to touch her neck , Seraphim's finger marks were still there.

Zenovia gasps going towards her " oh my lady "

She attends to the mark ... Applying ointment on it .

" Here have these cookies, you would feel better"

Aridalle claps in glee , her eyes sparkling at the sight of the mouth watering chocolate filled cookies .

" I love you so much " she screams grabbing the plate of cookies and stuffing it in her mouth .

Zenovia chuckles " you love me or the cookies"

Within 30 minutes the cookie plate was empty and Aridalle blinks cutely licking her red small lips .

" Can I have more "

" No you can't"

Aridalle :(´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥')

" Pretty please" cute her puppy eyes has been activated.

Zenovia scoffs " that won't work on me my lady "

" Aww come on ... "

FEW HOURS LATER

Aridalle sat eagerly at the dinning table smacking her lips at the sight of the alluring dishes at her front.

" Via I don't know if I have told you but your cooking skills are top notch "

She chuckles... How can she distance herself from this sweet child.

" Thank you my lady "

At the far end of the massive hallway , butler Justin went to answer the door bell .

Opening the door , Nyxeria catwalks in like she owned the place.

" Ah this place reeks of filthy humans "

Justin sighs already tired of her problems even before it started.

" Lemme guess , master's pathetic human bride is curled up somewhere crying her eyes out " she said grinning.

" Well actually.... "

Nyxeria cuts him short with the wave of her hand " no need to cover up for her "

" Err no ma'am"

She glares at him " what did you just call me "

" Ma'am " he blinks uncertainly

Nyxeria laughs masking her anger .... Before the pathetic human bride came, she was addressed as my lady or young mistress now it's just ordinary ma'am.

" No worries, I have to deliver a message to the human bride ". She mutters cat walking inside.

Justin nods" I'll lead you to her ma'am"

They head to the dinning room.

Nyxeria pauses in shock at the sight .

Aridalle was standing on the dinning table gulping down one jug of orange juice while Zenovia was literally panicking trying to get her down form there .

" Oh my gosh you're not just pathetic but uncultured" Nyxeria yells frowning in disgust.

" Uh " Aridalle mutters climbing down

Zenovia sighs in relief helping her " my lady that was risky "

She giggles " sowwwwey I got carried away"

" Hey I'm talking here " Nyxeria mutters coldly .

Aridalle looks at her " who are you "

" Someone you should fear and respect pathetic human" she spits out , fuming.

Aridalle blinks confused " someone I should fear .... "

" Yeah get that right into your thick skull "

Zenovia frowns " ma'am pls do not speak to my lady that way "

" Oh really " Nyxeria smirks, her eyes glistening a ball of fire appeared in her palms

" Forgive my silly words " Zenonia said bowing, she was sweating furiously.

She chuckles and the fire disappears her face still dark " it's good you have not forgotten your place "

Aridalle gasps jumping up , she didn't even react when she saw the fire ball in Nyxeria's palm .

" Aaaa ah now I know where I've seen your face before "

Nyxeria eyes her still frowning. " Then you are not dumb as I thought"

" You are Cinderella stepmother's grandma !! " She yells pointing at her .

Nyxeria: (・o・)

" What the fuck, me a grandma !!! "
