It was 12 o’clock in the night.
The moonlight had been blocked by dark clouds, and the entire Sedona City was plunged into darkness again.
"Step step step…."
Fez was pacing around in the room. He didn’t know why, but he was extremely restless today, as if something bad had happened. He turned his head to look at Carter, whose eyes were closed. He opened his mouth to say something to his father, but closed it before he could say anything which might make his father angry at him.
“Your mind is in turmoil. What are you worried about?” Carter asked as he opened his eyes slightly and said calmly, “They have done this kind of stuff many times before. It’s hard for me to give them to you if you keep behaving like this. You should sometimes believe in your people. They have worked for us for a long time. How can a noble behave like this? I might reconsider my decision again.”
“I’m sorry, Lord father.” Fez quickly and respectfully admitted his mistake with a slight sweat on his forehead. Regardless of their father and son relationship, he knew if Carter was unsatisfied with him then Carter would really leave him out in this cold place and make him live like a puppet and use him as a machine for his own gain.
“Hmph. You must be calm at all times. No matter how angry you are, you must have a smile on your face. You can always strike afterwards. This is necessary as a noble. You still do not fulfill this requirement. When will you learn to act like a noble?” Carter said coldly. Although he didn’t show it, he was pissed because of Lucas. 'That fucker thinks he could be so high and mighty after becoming a noble? I’ll use his head as a wine cup today and put it in the most eye-catching place in the study. And that female beastkin. If I had known that those two would get together, I would have killed her on the first day I got her. Calm down Carter calm down. You will get to fuck a mother and daughter with those female beastkin. So just wait for the time being.'
“Yes.” Fez replied respectfully. He remembered one of his father's opponents in the past. The two of them laughed and talked whenever they met in public, but they fought each other in secret behind the scenes.
“They should be back around this time. Go and pack up. We’ll move back to the castle tonight.” Carter told Fez calmly.
“Understood.” Fez replied respectfully and happily.
Carter stretched his waist and sighed. “Young people don’t respect their elders anymore. What a bad time to be in.” He smiled as he thought about Lucas’s young face and how it would be stained with blood and dust.
There was a slight breeze, and the candle which was on the table flickled slightly, and a shadow suddenly appeared on the wall. Carter just caught a glimpse of the shadow out of the corner of his eye, his body suddenly stiffened, and his breathing got faster.
“Lord father, what’s wrong? What happened?” Fez asked with concern when he noticed Carter’s strange behavior.
Carter ignored him and kept staring at the extra shadow on the wall scaredly. Fez followed his gaze and also saw the shadow with a shocked face.
“Who’s there?” Fez shouted in horror. Carter and Fez suddenly turned their heads to look in the direction of the window.
….
Silence. The window was empty.
Carter’s and Fez’s bodies shook in terror. They both looked around with their eyes warily. Both of them thought who could do this to them and suddenly the two both thought about the story of the Red Devil. The stories said that the Red Devil pulled out people’s hearts during midnight.
“Go and close the window.” Carter ordered Fez with a shout.
“Lord Father, I…” Fez wanted to refuse but he stopped his words when Carter glared at him.
"Creak."
Fez timidly closed the window, and the two of them immediately felt safe. They both let out a deep breath and stopped shaking from fear.
“A hallucination. It must be because of how pissed I am at Lucas.” Carter said, patting his chest.
“Hallucination? What hallucination? Are you talking about me? But I am not no hallucination.” A voice rang out from behind the two of them.
“Ahhhh” Carter and Fez screamed in terror and hugged each other like frightened monkeys, looking in the direction of the voice.
“It- it’s you! That female beastkin that we brought.”
Mina was currently sitting on the table behind them, throwing her military knife up and down. If she messed up even a tiny bit, her hand would be pierced by the knife.
“Yes, We meet again, Carter and Fez. How are you?” Mina said, tilting her head slightly. Her eyes were as cold as the winter. She still remembered the hunger and cold she felt in the dungeon as if it had happened to her just a day ago.
“What do you want? Don't you know who we are? Do you want to get killed?” Fez shouted with a trembling voice.
“You’re actually still saying such naive things? Young Master was right. People like you can only bully the weak and fear the strong.” Mina said, getting down from the table and clutching her knife. Her eyes were emotionless as she looked at both Carter and Fez.
“You can’t kill me. I am a noble. I have sent my knights to the castle to kill everybody. If you let me go then I will spare your life. If you try to kill me then my knight will hunt you and will sell you to the red light district. ” Carter said, scared. He was very afraid of Mina right now. He could tell that Mina was looking at him as if he was a pig instead of a human.
“You shouldn’t have tried to make a move on Young Master.” Mina said coldly. She disappeared from her place and appeared near the window with blood on the knife. A cut appeared on both Carter's and Fez's neck.
One slash, two lives. Without waiting for them to fall down, Mina left the place through the window, letting the walls be painted with blood and the candle flame died down.
'Is this fate?' Mina stopped for a few seconds and looked at the dark sky. The dungeon she had been in was as dark as the sky was currently dark.. A gust of wind came and blew away the dark clouds from the moon. The bright moonlight shined down right where the castle was. Mina stared at the scene in awe and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
“That day, Young Master was just like the moonlight today, piercing through the darkness.” She remembered the first day she met Lucas. He had offered to let her go, but for some reason, she decided to stay. 'It should be time for the midnight snack. I wonder if Nicole had prepared my polished rice porridge yet.'
Mina ran towards the castle and mumbled something along the way. “It must be my fate to meet the Young Master. Yes, that must be it. Meow. To meet the young master. Meow.”
