Sovereign: Hey guys, remember in the last chapter I said the next one will be the last? Well, I realized I was wrong. There is still one more chapter before the final one but don't worry, this one will be short. XD

I would like to thank KanaeHitomi, splitheart1120, sereneskydragonslayer and Lightmoon54 for reviewing!

Chapter 36: The Duchess' punishment

Cornelia opens her eyes and looks around. She is currently standing in the middle of a completely white room.

"Where am I?" Cornelia asked. Her voice echoed throughout the room as she spoke.

"Ah, it looks like the human was right."

Cornelia gasped and turns around to see a girl dressed in a black Lolita dress with her long blonde hair tied to two ponytails standing behind with a smirk on her face.

"Wh-who…who are you?" Cornelia asked.

"I'm Rachel Alucard, the soul keeper. And I am here to pass judgment on you." Rachel said, pointing a finger at her. "The human Darren Leong, came here to the afterlife to make a trade with me and I'm glad he is able to fulfill his end of the bargain."

Cornelia watched as Rachel rises up her hand and suddenly, a large pair of black doors appeared behind her. Cornelia widens her eyes in horror as the doors open up, revealing Hell on the other side.

"While good souls go to Heaven, bad souls who have committed crimes shall go to Hell. And you…are one of those bad souls." Rachel takes out a book and opens it. "And now, it's time for you to face eternal punishment."

Cornelia grits her teeth and yelled, "You are not taking me away!" She extends out her hands to magically summon her spears, but to her shock, they didn't appear. She gasped. "Wh-wh-wh-why?"

"Why? Isn't it obvious?" Rachel smirked. "Because you are already dead." She now begins to read the contents in her book. "Cornelia Corningston AKA The Crimson Duchess…for your crimes in murdering innocent humans, poisoning humans, stealing souls from their corpses and resurrection of the Wyvern King Rarchluka. I sentenced you…" She looks up at Cornelia with a cold dark glare. "TO DEATH!"

Then, several long black arms extend out of the doors of Hell and grabs Cornelia by her arms and legs. "NO!" Cornelia cried. "PLEASE! HAVE MERCY! HAVE MERCY ON ME!"

Rachel swifts her eyes to Cornelia as she is slowly dragged towards Hell. "Tell me Cornelia, did you give mercy to anyone before killing them in cold blood?"

"NO! PLEASE!" Cornelia screamed as she struggled to get out of the arms' grips but they are to strong and tight. "THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING! HEEEEELLLLPPPPP MEEEEEE!"

Cornelia lets out one final yell of agony and despair before the doors close itself and disappears.

Rachel closes her book and bows her head. "Farewell, Crimson Duchess." She said before a large black armchair magically appears behind her. The book in her hand disappears and Rachel sits down to extend out her other hand, magically summon a cup of Earl Grey Tea. She takes a sip of her tea and quietly sat there as the Crimson Duchess faces her eternal punishment.
