Slayer's trust and faith in Malice grew even more, if that was possible. "You have nothing to apologize to me for and you didn't do anything in the wrong for you to think you had to kneel, Malice."
Slayer said this as the one who raised him, not as the Lord, or Ruler, or Boss, but as someone who valued Malice. "You wouldn't have done anything wrong by not saying anything concerning the girl you met, but I thank you for letting me know when it might be my sister." Slayer said this to Malice, in appreciation.
"Thank you, Your Majesty" Malice answered, before standing up.
"Tell me did the girl have blue hair and beautiful purple eyes?" Slayer asked. This would answer his question and clear all doubts he had if it was truly his sister or not.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Malice replied 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.
Slayer said this more to himself than to Malice, but this truly made him even more frustrated. He just couldn't think of any reason why Vishious would have Sinyster here with him on this visit and why they'd be together in the first place. 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 information about his General's death. However, it was evident that Vishious was currently absent from the palace, as his aura had dissipated earlier. Therefore, Slayer had no choice but 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 head to the guest rooms and call them out or should we go along with the plan of me meeting her again tomorrow?" Malice asked in a serious tone. The look on his face shield 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 to the guest room that he now knew was Sinyster's room, he had to stop himself because there was obviously a reason why Sinyster had asked Malice to not mention her name to anyone. 'Are you scared of Vishious? Blair couldn't help but keep asking in his mind. He was pretty sure he did 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.
"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 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 got back from 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 vicious 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 to see through the crack she had allowed the door to open to.
"S-s-sorry for bothering you but H-his Majesty was hoping the guests would be joining Him for dinner t-tonight?" A maid said with her head down and 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.
"I tried knocking on L-lord V-vishious' door but h-he didn't answer." Said the maid. 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 that made quickly lowered her head, she had done wrong by looking up without being given permission, "I-i a-apologize for my rudeness and d-disrespect by lifting up m-my head. P-please forgive me?"The maid pleaded.
"Please, don't be afraid and 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. "Thank You...." The maid trailed off not knowing what to call the person.
"MiLady!" Sinyster said, not wanting anyone to know who she was still. "What is your name?" she asked the maid. They surprised they made 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.
"Milady, my name is Loree." 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, watch full awareness - the kindborn from years of surviving where silence is safer than being heard. But sinister couldn't help but notice that 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. "But please be discreet about it." she added, hoping that the maid wouldn't say to anyone about Vishious' company, in fact, was a woman.
"Yes, MiLady. I'll be back shortly." Loree bowed her head as she said this and left.
Sinyster closed the door when the maid walked off, she couldn't help but be nice to the maid because she never was one to be rude to those that served her. It was this that made her different from her brothers, She couldn't help but think about home and she missed it and everyone there. It had been a few months now since she'd left.
' It'll be soon that I'll get to go home!' she said to herself. A hint of determination showed on her face.
A little while went by before she heard a light knock on the door and she hurried to open it. "Here MiLady," Loree said as she had her head bowed, holding a tray with a pitcher of water and a bowl of various fruits.
"Thank you, Loree for this." Sinyster said as she grabbed the tray from her.
"You're welcome, MiLady and if you should need anything please let me know." The maid than looked up at Sinyster because how would she know how to ask for her or find her. "I can come back this evening and check if you're in need of anything else, MiLady?" Loree asked.
"Thank you, I'd appreciate it." Sinyster said in a sweet voice, appreciating the maid for being thoughtful.
"I'll come let you know when dinner is ready" Loree said to Sinyster.
"I'll see you later than. Thank you so much for your help." She said as she closed the door, she was absolutely starving and was so happy to get some water and something to eat.
She ate almost all the fruit that the maid had brought her, deciding to keep a couple things for her to snack on later and she finished all the water in the pitcher, feeling much better now; She decided that she'd take a short nap. She knew that Vishious had left and would have to wait for him to return to let him know about the dinner invitation.
She also couldn't help but wonder if Vishious went back to his Realm and if he did if he went there to check on the one he had taken from her?
