She awoke with searing pain and with her face hitting the wall. She slowly got up after the pain dissipated, she found her self in a nightgown with no recollection of how she got in it. She was puzzled as she didn’t feel anyone putting in on her, she suddenly thought of Alex putting it on her with a stern face. Her face also showed no reaction to that as if it was natural but she thought it was odd that he worked for Delsbon and hadn’t met him before that and she once again felt helpless as she had no knowledge of this. Riley then thought that her maid Elizabeth changed her. She changed out of her nightgown and put in her usual clothes which consisted of a boy's gown made out of silk. She desperately missed the soft feeling of the silk on her skin she also noted that they probably used healing magic to heal her wounds as her skin was clear. The night captain recommended something different because she has no pain tolerance. When she finished getting dressed she looked at herself in the mirror her dark purple which stopped at her shoulders and her dark blue eyes and fair skin on highlights her. She thought if her clothes weren’t torn she thought that Alex discerned her gender. When she finished examining herself a knocked was heard and with it came a voice of what seemed to be a young lady. “ Young Master, Master calla for you to meet home in the dining room immediately.” Riley easily discerned her as Elizabeth she going to ask her to take her to see her father for practice. Her father made her try to easily captivate girls to add to his network system and use as pawns.
“Elizabeth would you please take me,” Riley asked
“Of course young master.” Elizabeth responder.
As she and Elizabeth walk to the dining room to see Delsbon, she noticed that the other maids purposely avoid her. ‘It's probably Delsbon, what did he tell them.’ is what Riley thought. They soon arrived at the dinning room, there Elizabeth announced Riley presence. An old man with a round stomach greeted her. “Riley my son, how are you doing?” He asked with a sly smile. Riley bowed her head and quickly said “I’m doing well father.”
The ever so gleeful Delsbon said“I hear you saved the crown prince. You did a good deed with this our importance to the royal family rises. I knew it was good to keep you. Your illusion magic keeps getting better and better.” A smile spread across his face but it didn’t stop there he continued “Your illusion magic is good my son or we could say mind influence, be glad you got accepted to the Royal Academia. You will also soon get the honorable title ‘Friend of The Crown.”
Riley's face showed a scornful expression as she said, “Isn’t it just political.”
Delsbon smiled “If you continue this you could become the family head. I’m stressed it’s really hard to take care of you and Lara. Oh, she said you don’t have to kill me no more, we reached a compromise.”
Her expression changed drastically, and he added “ You know how hard it is to live carefree if my own family is trying to kill me. You will leave for the Royal Academia is two days.”
Riley hearing that banged her fist on the table and screamed, “Two days that’s absurd you promised if I got on Marquis Stanley good graces, I would be able to see my mother!” Her fist trembled with anger, nails digging into her skin. Delsbon seeing her face smiled in earnest.
He laughed “KUKUKU! I promise on the god of light and justice name that I will take care of your mother until you get back.” He turned to hear “FUFUFUFUFUFUFU… That’s a deal right father a vow on the god’s name. The breaking of the contract without my consent is death right father?” She asked excitedly. “HAHHAHAHAHAHA. You are my daughter. I vow on my name Delsbon von Motex that I will keep my vow and the god of light and justice shall be my witness.” Her eyes widened at that, it was the first time that her father ever called her his daughter. Suddenly a black mist surrounded him and quickly dispersed. From Riley's face a devious smile sprouted on her face “I will start packing immediately. Elizabeth please follow me back to my quarters.” Elizabeth who heard their conversation hastily responded:” Yes, young master.” When they got to Riley quarters Elizabeth started packing. Riley left Elizabeth at the beginning of the process to visit Lara. When she was in front of her quarters, she knocked on her door. The maids around her scoffed. Then a soft angelic voice came after asking “Who is is it?” Riley then responds “It’s me Riley, Lara.” The door opens and a short girl who seems to be twelve-ish with blond hair, and light blue eyes come to view. She wears a white dress with a light brown hat, her dress visibly flutters as if the wind was blowing. A laugh comes from Riley before saying “I see you learned how to manipulate wind to a certain degree. Such a prodigy my darling Lara.”
Stolen story; please report.
Lara breaks down in laughter, her eyes before saying “Oh my prince Riley how I missed you. Please come in my prince.” She leads Riley inside before shutting the door. The angelic smile that was once there faded before a frown replaced it. “Riley I’m sure you heard that I and my old man reached a compromise.” Riley’s smile was even more upturned then with her deal with Delsbon. Lara said “ So my demon what’s our deal. You wouldn’t come just to make a fuss. Oh I also heard you’re going to the Royal Academia, where the heroes are. So are you going to befriend them to spill the secrets to the demon king or doing both.”
Riley started to cackle and stated,” Now I why would I do that my love or do wish to.”
Lara explained “ Let’s put all of our information sources together to blackmail all of our future classmates, with that we can use them to get information about the hero as try to learn the secrets of their world and their so-called ‘god’! If not blackmail we’ll take their family hostage anything torture them to reach this. We’ve been in a never-ending war ‘gods’ acting like higher beings than humans. They might have more power but why are they even summoning hero’s if nothing they do can stop this never-ending war. Acting like humans are like pawns in a game of chess, I bet at this point they don’t even care about us. This is what we will do we will make both the hero’s and demon lord negotiate in this never-ending war this is when will even use taboo magic. Now let’s start on our never-ending journey we’ll live and die as ourselves and not even god can stop us from our goal!”
During her speech, the wind in the spiraled but was still regulated. Their clothes fluttered in the wind, hair spinning wildly.
“Yes, well no ‘god’ can stop us, no hero can no demon lord will change what we will make!” In the room, the background changed there flames burned brightly thousands of bodies of humans and demons lay. Then closer six people lay on the ground five human and one demon and above them two people sitting on two thrones of even height. There Riley and Lara sat there with bloodthirsty smiles on their faces staring at the sky. Magic gets influenced by their user's emotions outside the room sharp wind blades scratched the maids who were outside but they couldn’t run because they felt groggy and had migraines. They dropped some of the blood loss and others because they either got knocked out or lost their sanity and dropped dead. When they came out of the room they saw blood and bodies on the floor. Lara scoffed “Humph, I thought I killed the other spies.” They then heard “Young master are you hea-“ Elizabeth saw the bodies and she screamed and fainted. Riley smiled wryly when she saw the maids with gashes and even more when she saw the ones who peeled the skin of their face.
