Suspicious

"Have you been spying on me?" Vin cleaned his hands on a towel Sebastian handed him. He knew this butler had some crafty plans. The way he smiles, his attitude, his reactions, everything concerning Sebastian must have one stuck in a sea of thoughts.

"I wasn't spying on you my lord-"

"Says the Demon who has been watching me ever since Vittaya came."

Sebastian gave a confused look.

"Don't give me that face, spill it out already, now!" Vin commanded him in a sharp tone.

Sebastian suddenly went on his knees. Head low and eyes on the ground, "Truly i must say, I apologize for causing you inconveniences. But I had to do so-"

"Why?"

"Alucus and Aragon instructed me to. They said you missed the meeting earlier, knowing deeply how important it was. Again, you haven't returned back to your castle, neither gotten ready for the night to come. You are supposed to do all this at Nina's. This made them quite suspicious and had me spy on you. I beg again to be pardoned, please, My lord, don't drain my blood again."

The lack of understanding in Vin's eyes, made Sebastian more shocked.

"Alucus and Aragon!" He slowly walked to one of the destroyed houses. There, he smashed his head on the wall. "Those lowlife creatures; How disgusting, stupid, useless…"

"My Lord!"

"I'll kill them all!"

[I need to get out of here and head back to Zenphek. This intense reaction sure is helping.]

"Lord Dravil-"

"I need some time alone" Vin crossed his hands, eyes closed and mind in thoughts.

"But….. Okay my lord."

Sebastian quickly walked away, he looked at Vin one last time, before disappearing.

After some minutes, Vin let out a sigh. He never knew he could pull a trick like that.

However, he looked back with his eyes going wide to see various pools of blood, everywhere.

"What have I done?" He staggered into one of the rooms. "How could I have killed all of them? How could I have-..."

Tears rolled down his chin seeing the incident. None has gotten to what he planned.

[From becoming a hero to a murderer? How stupid of me. I could control the bloodlust of Dravil, I continue killing them, despite their pains. Even though they deserved worse, what I've done has sent me into the deep pits of pure darkness.]

Standing up from the pile of stuff which was laid on the ground after the vast destruction, Vin looked to his right, seeing his reflection on the pool of blood.

[That's it!.]

"Hey, I need you now."

Vin's reflection came to life immediately after these words.

"You called me, My lord?"

"I need you to explain everything!"

"Everything concerning what exactly?"

"Everything concerning Dravil, this crazy world and most importantly, those top Demons!."

Vin's tone made his reflection know instantly, he was fuming with anger, sadness and wrath.

"Okay My lord, please do come" Stretching out his hand from the blood, Vin had never in his life thought of taking the hand of a reflection.

"Do you want to swap with me?"

"You really are silly ain't you?. If I swap out with you and keep you trapped in this dimension, I'll crumble into nothing but dust and more importantly, Why should I do that?"

"I don't know, why ask me when you have been trapped as a reflection for about a millennium now!"

"Trust me Vin, I won't do such a thing."

Thinking about this for a few seconds, Vin agreed to do so.

Holding the hand of his reflection, he was pulled into his reflection's dimension, a place where he never knew could be real, neither exist.

VITTAYA MANSION.

LOCATION: UNKNOWN.

.

Sebastian slowly walked through the hallway, his hands together behind his back. Every step he took had an elegance in them, every single step also echoed throughout the hall.

Getting to a door, he pushed it open and gently walked in.

"Lord Vittaya," he bowed.

"Oh, Sebastian, how are you doing today, want to join me?" Vittaya asked as he ate a seed of grape, while having a bath in the most extravagant room one could ever imagine to be in.

Around him were litters of beauties, all looking like succubi.

"I rather not my lord. More importantly, I have come to send you an important message-"

"You are the effective butler around here" Sebastian took another bite from an apple. "My butler is quite a rot, because I killed him for being slow."

'That is a pure lie. You killed him because he sent information to Dravil first instead of you' Sebastian said within his mind, without any facial expression to show what he had in thoughts.

"You really know the story don't you, Sebastian?" Vittaya said, his eyes glowing purple as he easily read his mind.

"I prefer to say it within my mind than to spit out nonsense and bother you with all my gibberish talks" Sebastian said, not showing a single sign of fear. "However, Aragon told me to tell you the same words I said to him."

"Fine, continue," Vittaya adjusted his position. Looking at the succubi with a smile, he said, "Would you please leave, I am quite in an important conversation."

The others quickly nodded and stood up, however, one decided to act stupid.

"But My Lord-"

"How dare you speak when I don't want to hear your irritating voice?'' From a sweet seductive voice into a dangerous killer's. Vittaya's facial expression and tone switched. "How dare you!"

Immediately he said this, a gigantic snake, most likely an black mamba showed up, tearing her body into two.

The succubus blood splashed on Sebastian's face and now, he knew how to act.

A drop of blood appeared on Vittaya's lips as he slowly used his tongue (which was longer than an average human's, most likely that of a snake) to wipe it off.

"Yum!"

The other succubi didn't wait to look. They all fled.

"So," Vittaya sat upright, making the Moon's reflection shine on him. The gigantic mamba laid behind, its eyes on Sebastian, "You were saying?"

"Dravil is back to normal!"

"Normal? Are you pulling my legs? I haven't seen him drink a single blood, neither have I seen his blood-"

"He killed an entire village," Sebastian said, making Vittaya raise a brow, "And drained their blood."

"Oh? Looks like I underestimated him. I could have left him to do what he had in mind, rather than spy. I owe him an apology, but we shall see whether or not he hasn't gotten weak, during the meeting tomorrow."

Sebastian motioned a bow before leaving, after Vittaya had dismissed him.

Shutting the door behind and strolling away, His expression went from a straight poker face into pure anger and a strategic planning.

"Vincent doesn't know he isn't acting exactly like Lord Dravil, now the entire top Demons are getting quite suspicious of him. I need to warn him before it's too late. Otherwise, he won't get away with what he is in."
