45 Chapter 43: A Walk Outside 2 (1/2)
...
”Running away so soon? Didn't you want money?” Luther sadistically smiled
Chills ran up their spines.
”Don't try to leave, when you haven't received your punishments…” Luther said
”I can't…punish you the way I want, in such a public place..” Luther sighed
”So how about..” Luther grinned
”I do this.”
Luther put the gold bars in the bag Ivery held
He held his hand out in front of them.
In his hand laid a medium-sized clear orb.
As soon as the men's eyes made contact with the orb, they both collapsed on the ground.
The orb immediately turned black.
”What is that?” Ivery asked
”Something I recently learned of...” Luther looked at the orb
”It absorbs the souls of those who look at it.” Luther told her
”You're looking at it, I'm looking at it...so..?” Ivery looked at the orb
”Only the souls of who I intend for it to absorb, that's why.” Luther laughed
”Oh, so what are you going to do with it?” She asked
”There's no reason to keep something like this.” Luther dropped the orb
”...!” Ivery saw the orb drop on the ground
It cracked and rolled by her feet.
”Break it.” Luther told her
”Break it?” Ivery looked down at the black orb
”Yes, break it.” He nodded
Ivery lifted her foot up and crushed the orb under her foot.
”If the orb is destroyed while containing souls, the bodies slowly die.” He explained
”I see...” Ivery looked at the men's bodies that laid on the ground, still breathing but no limb movement
”But the orb is supposed to be unbreakable, well I guess that's only for people other than you and I.” Luther said
”Isn't that funny? The only two people that could rival against us is each other.” Ivery smiled
”It certainly is.” He smiled back
...
”I'll stay like this, for now, a situation like that is less likely to happen again if someone sees an adult carrying the money with a child, instead of two children carrying money.” Luther took the bag filled with money from Ivery's hands
”You're right.” She nodded
Ivery looked forward and noticed the people around them casting their glances on the two men on the ground.
But no one at all seemed to care about the two men, they just continued to walked around them. Ivery already knew that this world had a cruel reality, and she also knew that she had to be just as cruel back.
Ivery promised herself once she regained her true age, she swore that she wouldn't be the same girl as she was before...
She decided to use the incident with the flower of youth as an opportunity to be reborn into a different person.
The way she used to go about things was going to change indefinitely. If she's going to be an empress, something is going to have to change.
...
”There.” Ivery pointed at a local town restaurant
”You're hungry?” Luther asked
”Of course, you should've seen the crap they serve at that place, it's absolutely inedible and disgusting.” Ivery frowned
”So you've been eating what?” Luther felt worried that she was starving
”I've been having Loki go to the royal castle and sneak food to the Hollow's castle.” Ivery said
”Oh.” Luther breathed a sigh of relief
”Then let's go.” Luther walked towards the restaurant
.
.
Ivery and Luther walked into the restaurant.
Ivery looked around and saw all of the rowdy customers seated at the smooth wooden tables around, there was a strong smell of booze lingering around.
Ivery and Luther sat down at a two-seater table.
Five minutes after sitting, a blonde-big chested waitress came over to their table.
Ivery immediately noticed the look in her eyes when all she stared at was Luther.
It was a look of desperate attraction.
”What can I get for you?” She asked Luther
”Nothing, take her order instead.” Luther told the waitress without looking at her once
”Are you sure you don't want anything?” She leaned in close to him
”I'm sure.” He sighed
She turned her head and looked at Ivery.
”And what is it that you want?” The woman looked at Ivery
”What do you have?” Ivery didn't even know what this place served
”Oh right, here's the list.” The woman handed Luther a paper
”What is this?” Luther looked at it
”It's everything that we serve.” She said
”Oh I see.” Luther read the list of dishes and drinks
