73 Chapter 73 (1/2)

Noemi went out of the haven and into the flames of war. I could see her instant reaction of what was happening outside and was heartened by it all.

As her tears fell, so did the slaughter that had fully ensued in abandon. Of course my static throne was not saved from the attacks.

Anyone with eyes could readily determine that i was here, enjoying the view of their own suffering.

”Go on, Noemi. If you follow me then this shall be the life you will lead from now on.”

”Join me in my kingdom of bones or surrender to your fate. The choice is in your hands.” Though these were mere murmurs but they were indeed audibly received by my bitch.

Noemi looked once back at my direction, before she started walking truly into the scene of ruin. Not a spectator nor lend a hand of service. But to join the fray of the devils.

”Young master...” i heard her whispers as if she here beside me. But above all, i felt Noemi's fear.

The sword lights that had entombed my ride bombarded uselessly around it but when the owners of those attacks saw another prey, it hastily changed its direction upon this fresh target.

An unknown girl.

A woman.

All by herself in the middle of these god forsaken lands.

”BANG!” a flash of light catapulted a body into the wreckage.

I witnessed her agony first. Then her shock. Next was her search for something familiar around this complex picture of battle.

No words were uttered but only the battle cries of the dead and the dying serenaded the totality of the once tranquil abode of the Ceres Family.

And it had only escalated further towards the unfortunate and the blameless.

After the third breath had elapsed, Noemi finally noticed the single untouched domain amidst this chaos. The confines that stood between us were broken by the intensity of her stare.

Her eyes into mine.

Searching for an answer.

Anything.

And i has not the heart to deny her out of this confusion.

”What's wrong, my Noemi?” my voice bridged the distance between us.
