Chapter 7 – blazing Pheonix
Pride was sitting in his celling lost in thought suddenly he heard the guards speaking
louder than usual.
Pride quickly noticed this unusual behavior of the guards, The guards that never broke the
rhythmic cycle of their patrolling were suddenly scared and in panic.
"Don't you think its better to just flee?"
"Where would you even flee to?"
The guards discussed among themselves.
"Argh! Such a pain"
"Those bastards of the witch cu-"
The guard shuts the other guard by forcing his hand over his mouth.
"We do not know who is listening, so don't try your luck"
Then Silence prevailed.
Pride was unable to sleep.
SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH
SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH*
He kept on scratching his wrists as He couldn't stop out of habit.
Suddenly, he heard two new sets of voices.
"Huh!"
"Weren't the supposed to change earlier before?"
For some reason there's interval between the change is guards felt longer.
He Observed.
For the past 3 days he Just observed.
He followed every small detail he could.
On the 4
th
day
Pride laid still almost motion less in the cell.
A Warm light filled the prison hall.
"Its time…. for your meal" The guard Spoke in a scared tone.
As he stepped further inside the cell.
He held his nose due to the stench.
The smell of blood and burned flesh and sweat.
"thud"
The guard panicked as he quickly backed out from the cell.
He used his flame torch to scout the insides of Prides cell but couldn't find who or what
made the noise.
"Huh!"
"Is he dead?"
The Guard moved closer to him scared as even if Pride was captured, he was still said to
be a witch cultist.
"thud"
The Guard turned around facing his back to Pride's motionless body.
"What…!"
"What was that?"
"What was that…sound, just now?"
He spoke in panic.
As the guard realized, He started to panic in his mind as he the silence was slowly taken
over by the sound of a heavy breathing.
And then he heard.
Drip*
Drip*
He turned around as fast as he could to face Pride.
Pride's body disappeared.
At the Pleiades Watchtower.
"Beako!"
"You seemed troubled, is everything alright?" The silver haired Half-elf asked her
presumed contracted spirit.
"Betty is perfectly fine, I Suppose"
"Also stop with that nickname, I suppose"
"The only person who can call me with that name is my beloved cot-"
The Loli spirit stopped in her speech as she gave her choice of words a thought.
She felt something was not right, she was forgetting something very important.
A feeling that she should never have felt since the day she was freed from that library.
In a sudden flash Her mind recollected the memories of that day.
In between the burning library, the whole manor was engulfed in flames.
A Doll like Loli spirit with drill hair clung to a book sat in Solem.
As a raven-haired boy spoke to her with burns and bruises standing at the library door.
"No-one can blame you, For clinging to the idea of "That person."" A boy with raven hair
spoke.
His face, she couldn't recall his face.
The memories kept flowing.
"Y..you have. rejected betty's feeling."
"Just what do you even know!?" Beatrice spoke in rage.
"I know!"
"I know you are kind" The boy followed in reply to her.
"Beatrcie."
"Please save me!"
The boy slowly approached her as he spoke.
"Bea…"
"…ako"
"Beako!"
Emilia called out while holding Beatrice in her lap like a doll.
"Beako, Are you alright?"
"Its alright if you need rest"
"Ram!"
"How long till we reach the tower?"
Emilia asked ram to forge an effective plan.
"Judging by the pace, it still would take us one more day approximately, Emilia-sama"
Ram replied.
"Otto-san, can you and ram scout the area"
"It's better for us to not exhaust ourselves too much" Emilia spoke with concern in her
tone.
"HAH HA!"
"NO NEEDCHA WORRY WID MA AMAZIN SELF PRESEN"
"I WILL BEAT DOWN ANY SUSPICIOUS PERSON LINGERING AROUND PRINCESS" The blonde
tiger boy boasted.
"Ram will scout the area over there"
"Otto-san please go ahead and be the bait for the mabeast's"
The pink haired maid teased the merchant.
"Why is it always me?" Otto left out a sigh in defeat.
Deep in a Augria Sand Dunes
A red head knight used his divine blessing to search for gluttony amid the Sandstrom.
"Squish"
Three knives flew in from an unknown direction towards Rienhard.
Blood splattered on the dry sand as Rienhard laid lifeless on the sand.
"HAH HA!"
"You need to calm down my dude"
An aura covered in maisama.
Long brown hair covered half of his face.
"I feel happy, you feel happy and that's all the reason you need to eat and drink in
excess!"
The boy spoke.
A punch flew right towards him.
The boy evaded it.
"Apologies, but I would ask you to surrender"
"Sin archbishop of Gluttony"
Rising from the flames like a phoenix.
With his Divine Protection of the Phoenix.
Rienhard tricked death.
