Chapter 15 Chapter 15

Satoshi's P.O.V you cracked the door slightly and peeked in at Lady Alira. She was passed out and sleeping soundly on her arms. "Pulled an all nighter huh? She's gonna hurt later if she doesn't sleep in a bed." You tip toed your way in and approached her. She was breath taking in her sleep, especially with the morning sun playing lightly across her face and illuminating her hair to shine like gold. She had fallen asleep with a smile on her face. "Probably found a way to curse Milord." The thought of her excitement from finding it made you chuckle. Your hand automatically fluttered to her head and brushed her hair away from her face. "Truly beautiful." She shifted and mumbled. "Unh, Mitsuki, don't go too far, Papa will scold you if you get lost." She was dreaming about her late daughter, Mitsuki. "You poor girl, you've lost everything dear to you." With that you gently removed the book from under her and picked her up. "Good thing you're a heavy sleeper." She was so light, and her skin felt like silk tainted with a smell of lilacs. Quite suddenly you were extremely aware of how close your face was to hers. Her lips were parted slightly, making her innocent expression more gorgeous. Blocking the thought from your mind you nudged the covers back and laid her down. She looked exactly like all the other women he had brought here over that past years, except that she was the first demoness to be taken. The thought hit you like a ton of bricks. 'It's not that she looks like them but they all look like her. Apparently milord is fixated on her if that is true. That asshole doesn't deserve a woman like Lady Alira, like hell he's gonna have her.' You protectively pulled the blanket over her, trying to avoid touching her again for fear of losing control. "I'll do whatever I can to get you out of his grasps Alira-san, I swear on my life." There was a person clapping behind you, causing you to jump. "Very nicely said, Master Satoshi. But there's one problem with that plan." That voice belonged to Kamera. "How long have you been there Kame-san?" She laughed and walked over to the desk. "Since you left the door wide open. You're lucky I'm the only one up this early." You waited for your heart to stop hammering from fear in your chest. "For a second there I thought you were Milord." She closed the book and turned to you. "You would have already been dead by now if it had been him. You know how touchy he gets when others touch his slaves." You could feel the blood fade from your face. "I'd completely forgotten how touchy he is.' Kamera coughed to ctach your attention. "And like I was saying, that promise isn't going to work out so well. How do you plan to get her out without Milord finding her in a heart beat? And you're also forgetting that she won't be separated from Rin-chan. Another problem would be the wait. You have at least a week and a couple days until she can get her powers back." She had a point, well a few. "I'd completely forgotten." She just laughed. "That's why it's no good to fall in love with Milord's woman. So don't go saying things like "I swear on my life", or you'll be struck by lightening one of these days." Your anger began to boil. "You have no clue Kamera. Haven't you noticed it yet? All those other slaves were humans who looked a lot like Lady Alira. Doesn't that strike you as odd? I think Milord has feelings for this poor woman. She's already suffered enough don't you think? Why should I leave her here in Our Lord's hands where she is going to suffer even more?" Kamera looked down in shame. "I know Satoshi, but there's nothing we can really do. She's stuck here until she can perform her ritual and she told me she had a vision that involves her staying here for an extended time." She looked so sad. "What do you mean?" Her expression declined even more. "She saw that she was pregnant, and as her risen-from-the-dead-mate killed her Milord came to save her." It was like a knife was shoved through your chest. "That bastard gets her pregnant? I won't allow it, absolutely not. And I don't think she will either. Did she say if the vision told of the circumstances of the vision? I bet its rape." Kamera just shook her head. "She doesn't know but she's going to stay and make Rin as happy as she can and then when the time is right she plans to flee and hide in some village." This eased your fears a little. "I guess it can't be helped." You looked back at her sleeping face and sighed. "I guess all we can do is watch over her." With that the two of you left Alira to sleep.
