30 Chapter 28: His Pas (1/2)
[ Death ] [ Violence ]
Ivery sat up in bed, greeted by the bright morning sun..
She looked over at Luther and saw him sleeping on the chair. His sleeping face was highly enchanting and alluring...she blushed before turning around.
She laid back down on the bed and curled up. Ivery never took it into much consideration that it used to be impossible for Luther to be able to love someone...and for that someone to be her...was unexpected by many.
She remembered the conversation she had with Hades 4 years ago when Luther found out that her soul is from another world...
...
When Luther was born, he was said to have been born with a weak magical prowess.
Caribella had only given birth to 3 girls, Luther was her first son...she loved him so much, even if his prowess was weak, he still was her child.
Emperor Erdel didn't give Luther much attention, as he didn't differ from the rest of his brothers and sisters.
....
As Luther grew up in the castle, he noticed at age 7 that the maids were stealing valuables from his room. They sold the valuables in his room for money.
When he was delivered food by the butler, the maids took the food and ate his food in front of him and didn't give him anything.
If they felt generous enough they threw him a piece of the portion.
The only time Luther got to eat a real meal was when he ate lunch and dinner with his mother if she was not already eating with the Emperor.
The maids could not lay hands on Luther as he was still a prince, but since he was a prince that didn't have much value, they treated him as if he was beneath them. As if their measly statuses were higher than his.
..
Luther's eldest brother at that time was the former Crown Prince of Fresia, Crown Prince Darius.
Darius had the strongest royal power out of all of his siblings, he held the royal power of 'black fire'. The other royal children of Fresia held weak 'black fire' if they were not born with their mother's power.
Luther possessed the power of 'black fire', but his flame control was weak and was considered as pathetic to everyone else.
The former Crown Prince of Fresia, Darius, used to visit Luther.
Luther never understood why Darius always took time out of his busy day just to visit him.
Darius tormented Luther every time he visited him, always reminding him that he was weak and useless...Darius yelled and scolded Luther for months for not being strong.
After being told he was weak and useless almost every day...Darius imprinted in his mind that the weak should not live, as for they are incompetent and merely serve as stepping stools so that the strong can continue to prevail, only the strong can prevail and reach further heights.
..
”If he wasn't a prince, someone as weak as him would be working as a slave” One of the maids laughed
”What do we gain from serving a useless master?” Another maid looked down at him with cold eyes
”You dirty maids..” Luther angrily looked up at the maids, with his hand balled in a fist
”Excuse me?” The maid looked down at Luther with disgust
”Watch your mouth kid!” The second maid threw a vase at his feet
Luther quickly backed up and he truly felt useless and weak...that he wasn't even able to fight against maids..
”We're all only working here for the money, we could care less about what happens to you and all of these stuck up royals in this castle” The maid's cold eyes looked down at Luther like he was a pest
”Get out!” Luther yelled
”We have what we came here for anyways” The maids laughed as they walked out of the room
”I hate you all..!” Luther wanted them all dead, Darius and all of those despicable maids
...
When Luther turned 13, his infinite attribute unlocked...
A black cloud of mist swirled around Luther and slowly took the form of a black cat...it's big eyes mixed with a green and purple color..
”Who are you?” Luther asked the cat
”I am Erebus” Erebus said to Luther
”Why are you here?” Luther asked him
”I've been sent here by the god of death and destruction to guide you and help the development of your powers” Erebus smiled
”Powers? God of death and destruction?” Luther looked at Erebus and was confused with the situation
”Yes, here I'll help you understand” Erebus pressed his paw on Luther's forehead
Luther's irises changed and took the shape of black skulls..
Suddenly...everything made sense to him, and he understood what he was now able to do...
Luther blinked a few times and the black skulls disappeared from his irises, taking back their original circular shape.
”Interesting..” Luther looked at his hands and a black mist swirled around his fingers
The doors burst open.
Three maids walked in the room with brown satchels. Their thieving hands started taking every valuable they could find in the room and shoved them in their bags.
They all ignored Luther who was standing in the middle of the room, as if he wasn't there and as if he held no importance at all...
”Stop” Luther said out
”Huh?” The maids all looked at him and snickered
”Is he trying to make orders now? A little useless prince like you can only bark with no bite” A maid laughed and continued stealing items from Luther's room
”Kill them..” Erebus whispered into Luther ear
...
”I-I…can't do that…” Luther started trembling
”You can…” Erebus grinned
”Use your powers…” Erebus's eyes glistened with ill intent
Luther held out his hands and suddenly all three of the maid's dresses were set on fire with black flames.
”Ahh!” The maids shrieked
They tried to pat it down but the fire continued to burn away their clothes, and soon the fire traveled up their bodies…and consumed them.
The fire quickly burned their bodies and as the flames died down, their remains looked like charcoal...this black fire was different than normal fire...it was stronger and deadlier...and impossible to put out.
”Good…very good” Erebus laughed
Luther looked at his hands and started laughing…his laughter soon became…sinister.
His eyes that used to shine with the innocence of a child…his eyes soon turned cold and his heart turned black..
