"Hey, sorry I disappeared like that." Axm knew she had been on warpath with her sibling while he was away and it may have been a good idea to have stayed out of her way. Sadi looked up from the glass of blood colored wine she held, "don't worry about it. I was too busy kicking someone's ass up and down the room to notice," she let out a dark giggle as she watched him. Axm shrugged, "well. Too be expected I suppose, but at least you're still in one piece." He probably couldn't say the same for her younger brother though, "didn't kill him. Did you?" he questioned, not really caring whether she did or didn't.
Sadi shook her head, Axm sighed in mock disappointment. "That's too bad, we could've put his head on a spear and burned the body." From the distance, Elyk was surprised that the pair of them seemed to be getting along just fine, considering how Axm acted with most other relatives. Ebukaj was the acception in this palace, and now Sadi. It was certainly an unexpected surprise, a secret that he tucked away for later use and continued to watch. Axm tensed as though he felt someone watching them, with all the nobles in the room it was hard to pinpoint who exactly it was. Shrugging it off, he focused on his conversation with Sadi. That feeling of being watched never went away, not while Elyk was staring at them both through a pair of binoculars. After a time, when a few hours passed, the feeling just seemed to evaporate. It just disappeared like a weigh crumbling off of his shoulders and eased his tense state. It was strange but it was gone now, so he didn't think it over too much.
Elyk had made his way toward the room where Laurel was now captured and tied up, awaiting the youngest prince's arrival. The men he had sent on ahead had succeeded in their mission, Elyk arrived shortly after he'd been contacted by them and stood over the now tied-up Laurel. Tears rose up behind her eyes but she didn't give Elyk the satisfaction of seeing them, she knew that's what he wanted and he'd do whatever it took to see them. Yes, Elyk was one seriously sadistic bastard with issues that he never let anyone begin to understand. Not even his underlings and least of all, his family. Elyk hated Axm the most, always turning him away or doing something better than him and taking the spot light in most things. It was one of the reasons why he often acted out, just so he could get some form of attention. No matter what it was. In this case, it would be drawing attention by commiting a most heinous crime that he knew would piss off his elder brother more than anything else. More than taking verbal jabs at him or sneering at him whenever their parents praised him over something he accomplished.
Elyk was certainly going to enjoy taking his sweet time with making Axm's childhood friend suffer in ways she couldn't imagine but first, he had to make her disappear. With the snap of his clawed fingers, his servants knocked the girl out before taking her from the room to a secret part of the palace in which Elyk had been constructing for his own private purposes. It would be hours before Axm realized what had happened exactly to Laurel, let alone a long time for him to find out she was missing from her rooms.
Axm had lost track of time while talking with Sadi, noting that it was later than he though it was. He sent someone to go check on Laurel since he hadn't really heard much from her lately, he figured he would've at least heard something from the girl but there hadn't been a peep. Axm began to wonder if she fell asleep or just tired herself out by finding something to do whether it was drawing or laying on her bed, hunched over a notepad to write as she so often did. The man Axm had sent to check on Laurel came back in a hurry, frantic and talking too fast to be understood. "Y-y-y-your M-m-m-m-magesty!" The servent cried, addressing Axm in a proper manner though the young demon didn't like to be called such things, he overlooked it. "What news?" He asked, waiting for the servants response. The servant had taken refuge behind Sadi, "s-s-s-she's...g-g-g-gone! Sire, Lady Laurel is missing from her chambers and no one saw her leave or knows where she was taken!" Axm felt a chill slide up his spine, a roar disrupting all of the chatter that was going on. "WHAT!" Axm snarled, clearly ticked off from the news. He wanted to tear into something but refrained, "FIND HER! SEARCH EVERY INCH OF THIS PALACE AND DON'T STOP UNTIL EVERY SERVANT IS NOTIFIED AND IS LOOKING FOR HER!" Every soul in the room froze at his angry tirade, all eyes now revealing fear as they rested upon the middle son for what he would do next. The servant had long since scurried off to carry out the orders he'd been given, doing his best not to faint from the sudden fright even though he'd been expecting such a reaction to the news he had.
Axm was going to kill the damned bastard who dared take his friend, any pain that was inflicted on her he would return a thousand fold for every cut or bruise he found. Sadi tried to rest a hand on Axm's shoulder though it was immediately shrugged off as he turned away from her, not wanting sympathy or comfort at the moment. He was far too angry to be soothed at the moment, he wanted blood and he wanted it then and there. If anyone got in his way, there would be no hesitation in slaughter of the lesser demons that filled the room.
