Chapter 13: Shocking Appearance.

(*Celia’s POV*)

My head hurt like crazy, and when I came to, I was in some kind of dungeon. What the heck? Oh, I was still in Mika’s body. Where the hell is this?…

Mika: “Colt, that fucker! He kidnapped you and Sia.” She yelled.

Celia: “Where is she at right now?” I ask with a serious tone.

Mika: “Who knows? She is probably safe. As for us, Colt plans to torture us to death.” She answered.

Celia: “Hm… Not fun at all.” I say with a sigh.

I wanted to find a way out of this place, but the door to the dungeon opened up. A very handsome young man walked into the room, with some tools for torture in tow, on a moving cart.

Mika: “That’s Colt!” She exclaimed.

This is Colt? He is pretty good-looking, why even bother trying to get with someone that is already in a relationship? He could probably get with any single woman he wanted. Just with his looks, let alone his money.

Colt: “Ah Mika, it feels good to finally have you at your end. I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect you to survive that fire, let alone the mercenaries that I paid off.” He said with a laugh.

Celia: “Enough games, where the hell is Sia?” I ask with a serious tone.

My hands were cuffed above my head, and the cuffs were chained to the wall. I can break out of them with fire magic. But I think that I will just let him gloat for a bit.

Colt: “Sia is locked in her new room. It will be a long process, but eventually, she will fall in love with me.” He said with a happy tone.

Celia: “Are you insane? Why the hell would she fall in love with you, when you kidnapped her, and plan to kill her girlfriend?” I ask with a confused expression.

Colt: “She will be hurt by my actions, yes. But just a year or two of… let’s just say, therapy? She will welcome me with open arms.” He answered.

Celia: “Mika… This dude is a super creep.” I say with a sigh in my head.

Mika: “That’s what I’ve been saying this entire time! Can’t you escape from these restraints? Just kill him already!” She urged.

Colt: “Now then, I wonder what I should do first? Maybe I should cut off the fingers that defiled my love? Or maybe, I should cut out the tongue that seduced her? So many choices…” He said with an evil smile while doing a thinking pose.

Yeah, I’ve let him gloat long enough. From my mouth, I blew ice magic at his feet. He was surprised so he struggled. His struggle caused him to shatter his feet off his legs. Ouch… that has to hurt…

I then used fire magic on my cuffs, which softened them up enough to where I could slip my hands out. I didn’t want to melt the cuffs, because that would end up hurting Mika’s body.

Colt: “Aaaaaa! Why? What? How did this even happen?” He yelled in pain.

Celia: “Eh, perhaps it is karma? Regardless, may you have a peaceful trip to the afterlife.” I say after taking out a handgun, and pointing it at his head.

Colt: “Wait… Wait! I’ll let you go! Just don’t kill me!” He pleaded.

Aww… Should I let the crazy dude go? Surely therapy could help the poor lad out. But with all of his money, he hasn’t gone to therapy. If he won’t help himself, then it’s up to me to do so. And by that, I meant that I shot him in the head once, and then shot his chest three times.

He is surely dead at this point. Hm? Mika, care to comment? I just saved you, you know?

Mika: “Right… I just didn’t expect him to die so easily.” She said with a relieved tone.

Celia: “Eh, didn’t I say that I was a cheat? I rarely ever lie, after all.” I reply with a shrug.

Mika: “Let’s go find Sia now!” She said with an excited tone.

As I began to walk out of the dungeon, various men in suits barged into the room. They must have heard the gunshots. Without any delay, I started killing them one by one.

This little game continued throughout the entire estate. Before killing another, I asked him where Sia was. He told me on the third floor, and he also told me what room she was in. With a smile, I aimed my gun at his head and fired.

With his death, that should have been the last guards that fucker Colt had. With a calm tone, I walked up to the third floor, and was now right in front of the room that Sia was in.

The door wasn’t locked, so I opened it up. Inside the room, was a maid holding a handgun to the side of Sia’s head. What the fuck is her problem?

Hostile Maid: “Mika… Where is Colt?” She asked.

Mika: “Celia, that is Courtney, Colt’s personal maid.” She said.

Celia: “Do you want the answer to that question?” I ask.

Courtney: “That fool… He couldn’t even handle a random woman that was cuffed.” She said with a sad expression.

Celia: “That’s right, it was quite easy to get out of my restraints and kill him. Now, could you please release my dear girlfriend?” I ask with a serious tone.

Courtney: “And why should I? You’ve killed my true love, so surely I should kill yours as well, right?” She said with an angry tone.

Oh shit… This just turned out to be more difficult than I imagined… I didn’t expect her to love that Idiot Colt… Maybe I should have spared him?…

Mika: “Celia! What are you doing? Save her!” She pleaded.

Celia: “I can’t… The loaded round indicator on her handgun, shows that her gun is loaded and ready to fire. Her finger is on the trigger as well. If I shoot her, she might pull the trigger as she dies, which would kill Sia.” I explain calmly in my head.

Mika: “…”

Courtney: “Why aren’t you speaking!? Shouldn’t you be begging me to spare her life?” She yelled.

Sia: “Mika… I’ll be okay.” She said with a smile.

Dammit! It seems that Sia has given up on surviving this round… Next time, I guess that I have to keep that stupid fuck alive, just to console the crazy maid…

As I was beginning to feel dread about possibly having to take my own life, just so I could have a chance to save them again, someone showed up…

Ria… I have no idea why she is here… Without even making a sound, she snatched the handgun away from Courtney. Since it is Ria, I assumed that she would just kill the maid, but she didn’t. Why?…

Ria: “Stupid maid, if you wish, I could bring your love back. And I could even change his memories, so that he will only ever have you on his mind.” She proposed.

Courtney: “What are you even talking about?” She asked with a raised eyebrow.

At this point, Sia had already come to my side. Ria was the only one confronting the maid.

Ria: “You see, that girl over there, isn’t actually Mika. Instead, that is my wife, who took over her body, so that she could help Mika survive.” She explained.

Courtney: “I don’t believe you… What you’re saying makes no sense at all…” She said with a confused expression.

Without saying anymore, Ria snapped her fingers, and then Colt appeared in the room. Within seconds, his body was restored, and he woke up. With another snap of her fingers, it seemed that Ria fixed the entire estate, and probably even brought back the guards that I killed.

Colt: “Courtney?… Why have I been blind this entire time? Truly, you are my true love.” He said with a happy tone before he kissed the maid.

What the fuck… I didn’t expect for Ria to be one for happy endings… With another snap of her fingers, Sia and I were then back in Sia’s house. Alls well that ends well, huh?

Ria: “It is a pleasure to see you, Celia. Shall we head back now?” She asked with a smile.

Celia: “Sure, but why the happy ending? I was sure that you would have just killed that maid off.” I ask with a curious tone.

Ria: “Happy endings are fun sometimes, you know.” She replied with a shrug.

This girl really likes snapping her fingers, as she did it again. This time, I was separated from Mika’s body and was now in a soul-like form.

I said my goodbyes to Mika and Sia, who both couldn’t stop thanking me for my help. Ria grabbed my hand, and the next second, I was back in my room at Yona’s castle. Only now did I realize something fucked up… I didn’t get a reward for all of this work!…
