Here comes the next chapter :D
Thanks to all my readers who were with me till now and for the new readers who started reading this story ^^
I was held back because of my exams and now that they're over I'm back with a BANG!
Here's the next installment of the story enjoy!
~ Previously ~
"I won't lose spider. I will win and take her back with me" Sebastian said tightening his fist.
Claude smirked, "we'll see"
"One is fighting for desire while the other is fighting for love…who is going to win this battle?" Samuel thought to himself grimly looking over the two who stood facing each other…
~ Currently ~
The tension in the air knew no bounds as the two demons that were fighting to win Siera's hand stood facing each other. Siera stood on the sidelines along with Samuel. The eldest demon had his eyebrows furrowed in worry as he looked at the two demons,
"You may begin the fight"
The words had hardly left his mouth when the two jumped back and lunged at each other. Claude seemed frustrated that Samuel had favored Sebastian over him but his eyes showed nothing, or so he thought.
"Frustrated that Father favored me over you Claude?" Sebastian asked his ever cocky smile on his face. Claude frowned and adjusted his glasses in the middle of the fight,
"Maybe I am and maybe I am not. However you seem to forget that if I win this match I get Siera for life".
Samuel's eyes widened and Sebastian's face lost its smirk for just a moment,
"Don't you think the 'if' in your statement is the main highlight?"
Claude narrowed his eyes and put his hand into his coat pocket. Sebastian's eyes narrowed as he saw Claude's actions and put his hand into his own coat pocket. Samuel looked surprised,
"They're going to use weapons?" he thought to himself and waited to see the kind of weapons the two of them would produce.
To his utter surprise Claude took out a few forks and Sebastian had countered with knives. He burst out laughing. Siera turned to Samuel with a confused look in her eyes,
"Papa what happened?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
"The weapons they're using is really interesting don't you think? It's the first time I have demons fight with knives and forks" he said holding his stomach and bending over laughing. Siera sighed,
"You're the only one who could find something like this interesting and funny in between a serious match".
"Ah sorry sorry it's just the atmosphere was a bit too tense and I wanted to lighten it" he said smiling.
She sighed and turned to look at them and Samuel placed his hands on her shoulders,
"Lighten up sweetheart. If you love him all you have to do is believe in him and wait right?" he said smiling. Siera's eyes widened.
Tears filled her eyes slightly when she realized what Samuel had said and nodded wiping the stray tears.
"You're right Papa…" she said and turned to look at Sebastian, Samuel smiled.
"Do your best" she silently encouraged him.
Samuel sighed and turned to watch the fight just as Siera was. The two demons were almost equally matched and neither was willing to give in and surrender the fight.
It was impossible for the normal human eye to perceive the movements of the two. If a human were to see this fight then all they would be able to see are sparks of the knives and forks clashing. Siera narrowed her eyes as she followed the movements of the two demons fighting to win her hand. Samuel narrowed his eyes.
"I hope this ends soon" Siera thought to herself as she watched the fight.
-2 hours later-
Siera sighed despite herself as she watched the two demons getting exhausted but neither willing to give in. Though the hours seemed to drag there was no clear demarcation as to which demon held the upper hand. In some instances it was Sebastian and in others it was Claude. Samuel frowned having had enough. He noticed that the two demons were almost equally matched in strength.
"Stop the fight" he said his voice thundering and echoing in the entire clearing.
Both demons had their eyes wide for a moment before they landed panting. Both demons had slight scratches on them. Though they both were equally exhausted they narrowed their eyes at each other. Siera looked at Samuel with her eyes wide,
"Papa what's wrong? Why did you stop the fight?"
"The fight is a draw" he simply stated.
Claude's face scrunched up a little in anger, "what do you mean by that"
"I mean what I said. The fight is a draw" Samuel said looking point blank at the two.
"Who wins the Meito then?" Claude asked calming down and adjusting his glasses his stoic expression returning.
Samuel stood straight and sighed,
"In the test for strength I was impressed by both of you though I was amused by the cool attitude Sebastian had I liked the fact that you considered the fight seriously Claude. In the second test I sensed honesty and readiness in Sebastian's answers but your answers though perfect had a lot of hesitancy and superficiality in them and finally in this fight the two of you were proved equals" Samuel said summing up the events of the tests that took place and the results of the fight.
"I believe my question was who had won the Meito" Claude said repeating himself looking impatient.
"Remember who you are talking to and uphold your manners" Samuel said almost immediately losing his cool, "it's just not that I'm her father but I'm also the strongest of the highest class of demons. Know your place" he warned his eyes flashing.
Claude's eyes widened and he immediately apologized. Samuel turned to Siera,
"Siera in the first test I favored Claude, in the second test I favored Sebastian and the fight has both of them as equals. Don't bias your choice on your love. You know both of their personalities well enough. Think who would be more suited for you as a mate and as a part of our sealed circle" Samuel said secretly hoping she would choose Sebastian.
Both candidates stared at Siera but she had eyes only for Sebastian. Claude tightened his fist as he noticed the tender expression Siera had on her face as she looked at Sebastian and knew at that instant that he had lost the chance to be with her fairly.
"I choose Sebastian Papa. I'm not changing my decision" she said smiling with a slight tint of pink on her cheeks. Samuel grinned and had a relieved look in his eye as he looked at Sebastian.
Claude had an eerie smile on his face as he bowed down and straightened up his face stoic. Samuel had a suspicious look in his eye.
"I see that Sebastian has won this fight fair and square I have nothing more to say. I shall take my leave now" Claude said his voice oddly stiff and quickly disappeared.
Siera narrowed her eyes as she watched his back and Sebastian hugged her from behind. She came back to her senses and smiled gently placing her hands on his.
"Thank you for choosing me Princess Siera" he said chuckling. Siera giggled forgetting Claude for the moment,
"Of course Sebastian Michealis san"
"Why can't I shake of the feeling that he isn't done yet…" Samuel thought to himself as he saw Claude disappear over the hill…
-Meanwhile-
"I will have her…no one will stop me" Claude thought to himself as he searched the shelves of the old storage.
"It has to be here…where is it" he muttered when he noticed a dim light reflecting off a tiny vial. Claude smirked,
"Finally I found it…she will be mine…" he said out loud, the vial giving out an eerie glow.
"Once the ceremony is over and I make her have this her strength her ability and her beauty will all be mine" Claude said licking his lips.
"You are a real treasure Siera and I don't plan in handing you over to that crow"…
-Back with Sebastian, Siera and Samuel-
"Looks like the ceremony is complete eh?" Samuel asked grinning, Siera nodded turning pink.
"Congratulations Sebastian" he said grinning and hitting Sebastian's shoulder. Sebastian smiled back.
"Thank you Father" he said as he tightened the hold on Siera's hand.
"The ceremony is over?" a male voice interrupted.
"Weren't we also supposed to be there?" another identical male voice questioned.
"Don't our opinions matter?" a female voice questioned.
A slow smile made its way into Siera's face,
"You three finally choose to appear" she said smirking, Samuel grinned.
"I didn't think it would be this soon though" he said smirking, Sebastian looked confused.
He saw three silhouettes approaching them and turned to Siera,
"Who are they?"
