Gore...a lot of gore was greeted behind the doors as i stepped into the hallway...the 3 elite soldiers which i cut up were laid on the ground cut into 2 and the rest of the hallway didn't look pretty either as it was also full of corpses and blood or stray organs lying around the hallway...
-HUUUHHH
Chase screamed for a second as she looked at the surroundings in terror,what was once a pretty hallway had turned into a slaughter-house with all these corpse which some of them weren't even killed by me but cut by the white-robed soldiers themselves or shot down,over all it was bad be it the image the smell or sensation under your feet which was a meaty piece of body which you couldn't avoid walking on and do you know whats worse ? I am already used to this.
(SWAK!)
Hestia who was walking beside me walked through the corridor with indifference written on her face i could see that she didn't care either but chase was another story as her whole face was turning green as she coughed a couple of times but nothing would come up as the scenery just gave her the chills as she continued to follow me.
With that thought we continued to walk down the hallway in silence.
(Ring Ring Ring)
As we were about to reach the first floor the smart phone started to ring for a second surprising me actually because i never thought i could have any reception in another dimension...I pulled out the phone out of my pocket and looked at screen to see who it was...steward ?
Hestia looked a bit questionable when she heard the ring in my pocket and stared at the smart phone for a second asking.
-Who is it ?
Chase was also curious as stood nearby looking at my smart phone.
-its actually my supervisor...well you will meet him probably in the future but over all he is the guy I go to when I usually have something to say or report.
Hestia and chase nodded a bit amazed for some reason.Hestia smiled for a second as she got closer to me wanting to hear the conversation between me and steward...I was a bit confused why she was doing this because I knew very well that she could have heard the conversation even without standing so close,but I wasn't about to question that and just answered the call..I wondered what he needed from me as i was thinking about that I realized that steward gave me only 2 days worth of rest...I was meant to come to work tomorrow...I was slightly perplexed now realizing this because I didn't know if I could make it or not.
-Hello ? steward ?
There was a slight high-pitched sound over the phone that was slowly getting better and finally dying down as I heard steward over the phone with a slight cough.
-Dawn I don't think I have to remind you that tomorrow you are supposed to come to work but at the same time thats really not what I am calling you for actually are you in a different dimension right now ? The magic circuit in my phone is trying to adjust onto something...
Steward was really the last person i would have liked to explain this to but at the same time i didn't want to lie to him because having him keep a good impression of me was more favorable towards me well...in the end he knows that i am keeping a lot of things from him but he wasn't really pushy about and just valued my work which i liked about him.
-yes,i am actually in a different dimension to get something and by the way...i think i am bringing some people over to my house well lets talk about that when i arrive i may or may not come in time so i apology in advance for the inconvenience steward.
There was a slight pause in the conversation as steward talked again his voice never changed and stayed passive all the way while my voice tried to sound a bit more friendly.
-Alright,we talk about that when you come back and those "people" you bring i want to know if its really fine to actually bring them with you if you know what mean...
There was a sharp edge on his tongue which hit a bit subconsciously making me harden...he was asking me if what i was doing was illegal and would reflect on the house in a bad way...i really didn't know how to answer that without explaining everything in detail.
-They are all willing and thats what counts...
I said with a blank tone making steward sigh for a second as he told me.
-If thats so than its okay and yes when you return i have things to talk to you about we discuss this later,i am hanging up.
With that said steward actually hung up as i put the phone into my pocket sighing heavily explaining this is going to be a pain in the ass i swear to god...Hestia also retreated from the phone and said with a cynical smile.
-Well your supervisor seems to be a hard ass how about you let me fry him up i know thats going to make him more friendly.
Her smile right now was everything else than sweet as she ignited a white flame hovering above her finger,i just shook my head and told her that it wasn't necessary he is always like that and that he doesn't mean any harm with it thats just who is.Hestia calmed down after that and asked me.
-Still young master are you sure you can trust him? You may work for him but isn't he a bit suspicious for your taste ?Even his last line sounded as if he was about to blow on you...
She said with an obvious frown on her face...even leraje had some similar feelings towards steward even thought he didn't care much about him leraje also refused to trust him and concerning me ?
I really didn't know steward was a man of his word his action are all for the greater good of the house i never have seen a lot of expression on his face other than a passive smile or a monotone blank face reading him was hard sometimes...but i was sure that he would never act because of his own curiosity or goals someone in the house close to cecilias standing had to at least order him to do it in which he would have no choice but to agree with it and thats also something i was actually scared about...
-Lets move on
I dismissed that thought for a second it was important for now to finish my task I had already wasted a lot of time.
With that said the 3 of us started running down the stairs faster through the hallway,the house was already full of corpse and there were also people coming out from hiding noticing that almost every white-robed soldier was already...while we were pacing i noticed that there were a lot of people resisting this onslaught,there were some of the guards which were mutilated and also other white-robed soldiers who had a lot of kitchen knives or sharpened wooden spears stuck onto them through their sides or head over all it looked like a war had broken out and was worse is that the corpses never really stopped,making me slowly nauseated by the smell not the scenery.
-Young master...~
Hestia got closer to me hugging me by my side...the warmth and nice smell was almost distracting me from the awful smell that was in the air...i knew i needed to part with her as to not give her more ideas to tease me later but it just felt so good making me somewhat dazed...it seems like hestia understood my dis-comfort by the surroundings and was trying to calm me down for a bit,but i could also feel mixed feelings of selfishness under her motive as she hugged me...
Seeing me being obedient this time hestia seemed overjoyed as she started to be a bit more daring which put me off for a second making me shove her away.
-Ahhh i was so close !~
She said exaggerating while making a fake sobbing sound,honestly it was funny but i didn't try to reply as we continued walking,chase just made a wryly smile and didn't talk often,hestia and i had talked a lot of things in her presence but these things were only understandable towards me and hestia making her clueless about half the stuff we talked about and adding the dozens of corpses on the ground it was enough distraction to make her forget about this event altogether.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Over all i was a bit thankful towards hestia,she seemed overly pushy sometimes but she also knew when to stop and behind her carefree attitude also hid a roaring tiger...no more like a crying bird...which was focused and serious to its goal she had some "kind" counter parts too which i actually lacked sometimes and even now she tried to calm me down with that dumb action of herself getting herself a smile from me.
We weren't that far from the exit and i had already laid out my whole plan inside my head,but as we stepped beside the exit my enhanced hearing had already picked up letting me hear something from the outside...those were screams and gun-shots ?
Hestia's face also hardened she probably heard it too and with that i tried to open the door but noticed it was locked from the outside hestia also saw the problem and grabbed my shoulder for a second showing me a canine smile...i could feel an ominous aura surrounding her probably because the screams we had heard were from the woman i told to leave the mansion.
-If i am young master ?
For some reason her request sounded more like an order but thats just imagination..right ?
I just nodded my head and stepped back for a second letting hestia do the job which she did quiet brutally as she raised her thick leg kicking the door by the lock with a swift motion almost breaking it apart even letting the stream of fresh air come into the hallway as i sighed out of relieve,but that didn't hold too long as i looked forward seeing something like a crowd...they were all well armed and i could also see a lot of corpses beside them...they were surrounding a lot of slaves and personal smiling viciously and some even expressing their expression of lust as they watched the female slaves in glee...and some of their faces were familiar to me one of them being christina.
Chase who also saw the crowd of soldiers surrounding the personal cursed for a second as she said.
-That bitch sandra fucking bitch comes running when someone starts to bleed !
I narrowed my eyes for a second.
-Who are you talking about ?
I asked making chase quickly explain herself.
It seems like chase has a ongoing grudge with one of the other lords of these lands her name is sandra and she actually holds a 5 star hotel which is her main headquarters of operation,she seems to be quiet famous for sweeping into a fight while her opponent is weak and seeing as how chase had described her she never fights an opponent equal in strength or stronger and prefers to run from such battles keeping a long business with her service friendly establishments while doing underhanded plans over other competitors.
I was kinda amazed how she could even establish such as a "friendly" service,but i wasn't going to ask that and just started walking towards them calmly...i had something in mind actually which was quiet convenient now.
-Heeyyy chasy how you doing ?~~
Most of the soldiers noticed the door was kicked open and were looking at us from a distance while closing in on us and as we walked to them a woman with chestnut long hair and leather clothing walked over here in a melodramatic tone while leading 8 different groups of men with nasty appearances and threatening weapons to us...the woman in question looked very cute if i had to say it but there was a streak of coldness in her gaze not fitting with her sweet voice that was almost calling to see an old friend of hers which chase was obviously not...sandra i assume ?
The men who were standing with their weapons drawn smiling wide as they ogled hestia who looked cold as ice giving them a death stare even thought it wasn't obvious to a glance.Hestia obviously didn't like their lustful glare and just returned it with an ice cold demeanor mixed with her own killing intent making the men shudder sub-consciously and grab their weapons more tighter.
In the whole deal my eyes turned towards sandra for a second...she also noticed my gaze misunderstanding it as a lustful one she turned towards me for a second with a observing look as she smiled wickedly touching her own waist as she stroke a standing pose.
-Hey loverboy you have quiet good eyes but a really dumb sense of loyalty here you know ? how about i let you have touch and in return you have to stab that woman behind you...and maybe also that shitty red head next to you because i don't like her gaze its creeeepy you know !
She said amusingly while the guys on the back started laughing because of it.
Hestia smiled for a second while chase face palmed for a second seeing sandra act like this,she probably got reminded of herself when we first met and honestly i also thought about chase when i saw sandra and her high and haughty personality which she was dropping on me like a bomb,but i didn't care about her request or words specifically and asked her instead.
-You have a hotel ?
This question alone made the chestnut haired woman stop smiling and the rest of the troops break into laughter as they pointed at me insultingly and comparing me with animals too.Sandra thought that i was playing so she started telling me about her hotel in great detail.
-Yes,for a fact i have a hotel its a 5 star no even a 6 star wouldn't be enough to judge how wonderful it is with cuisines from all over the world,artists and musicians playing live for entertainment,rooms and halls sparkling more then a diamond itself and even the toilets are made out of pure gold,but you know what ?
She paused for a second to let me ask her the obvious question which i didn't do and like so i cold see her eyes turning cold as she looked at me as if she was looking at a piece of garbage but i wasn't fazed but that as she continued talking.
-People like you don't get to step onto that holy ground,no,people like you follow my orders and stab my competitors and random red heads that i don't like and those people like you do it for free sometimes but they also mostly do it because they are idiots and because they grip onto that tiny sliver of hope and life they call freedom,so let me tell you again stab the woman on your back and the fucking red had and i consider leaving you half dead...
-You finished ?
I asked indifferent to the fact how horrible the things she said sounded and my tone was also carefree non trembling to what she had expected it would be,expecting me to follow her words and beg for my life but that wasn't going to happen because she had a serious misconception on who had the real leverage here.
-What ?
She asked a bit ludicrous on how i was still able to keep calm like that even hestia didn't as much look at her just waiting for me to say it.
-You have a hotel,thats all i wanted to know.Hestia smoke em.
Giving my command Hestia smiled wickedly as white flames started to appear on her body forming into a large phoenix with her as a core.
Sandra seemed a bit confused and conflicted when she saw the large flame bird that had hestia as its core appearing out of nowhere,she had never expected in her entire life that this would be one of her biggest losses she could have.
