50 _ Truth or Untruth?

Mizuki didn't know how long she'd been kept in his Palace. It could have been weeks , months, years, she could not tell , her mind going mad from the seclusion and the endless mental torture.

It was a game to him , she thought , to his own amusement. Dai Fang would torture her, lock her up in his dungeons for days without any necessary means of survival and when she was at death's door , he would heal her so that he could hurt her all over again till she submitted to him.

There were times Mizuki wanted to succumb to him, to give up , just to end all this suffering but then her unresolved hate for him would rise up and she would fight, fight to her very last breath.

She opened her eyes weakly and rose to her feet as her cell door clicked and creaked open. Her ankles were chained and the stunning brightness blinded her eyes but Mizuki urged on as she calmly walked through the leer halls and passageways until she reached a secluded part of the Palace , a place she had never dared to venture into. The large ornate doors parted, revealing a great , elaborately adorned bed chamber that was in a state of unruliness and chaos. The mirrors in the room were shattered in a rage as the walls were slashed at in a fury of a monstrous beast.

"I see you do not take to the decor of my Chambers..." Dai Fang said as he snapped shut the grimoire that he held in his hands as he looked out the window at the starless twilight. "What do you feel when you see this ?"

Mizuki ran her fingers against the cuts and breaks in the wall as she spoke harshly. "It speaks to me of great power , ire, rage and deadly wrath of a Devil."

"Any thing else?" He asked again as he actuated towards her ,his hair flowing behind him, his features piqued.

She retrieved a short but pointed broken glass shard from the carpet and saw her visage reflected in its clear surface holding it in her palm and shutting her hand over it tightly and sliding it into her robes, Mizuki held the edges of his robes and pulled herself towards him bringing their bodies in close contact. His eyes that were clear and steady, remained focused on her fingers that held his chin in an inciting manner as her other hand drifted upwards to his masculine shoulders , bringing her lips only a few inches away from his face. "I feel pain , the silent suffering of one condemned to be alone for eternity..."

Mizuki's fingertips teased the back of his neck as she slowly reproduced the glass weapon from the rope of her gown and when she was about to strike, she saw his lips twitch and instantaneously he held her hand with a powerful grip as the shard , sliced through her hand and blood flowed from the wound.

"You had better be careful." Dai Fang said increasing the hardness of his grip. "It would be quite unpleasant if you hurt yourself or worse , broke such a dainty little hand."

"Get away from me , You heartless..."

"Again with the name calling." He sighed turning away from her as he held her strained wrist. "You really do not know when to give up Mizuki. Admirable as well as vexatious."

"How could you let them all burn without a second glance?" Mizuki challenged with tear filled eyes. "How do you sleep, how could you continue to live when you know that their blood is on your hands?!"

The Devil King took up his Sword and ran his hand against the sharp edge. Satisfied, he glanced at Mizuki and moved toward her. Feeling threatened, she retreated but she tripped over , falling into the King sized bed. She wanted to get up but Dai Fang pounced on her , snaring her with his well built body as he held her down , Her breasts against his chest as Mizuki was forced to look into his dual colored eyes.

"How naive you are." He mocked as his eyes brightened with an impish delight. "Your goodness makes you blind to the clearest of things. You mourn for them as if they were of your own blood."

Heat began gathering in her crotch as she shouted back. "They were good people. Their lives meant something."

"Good people do not exist." The Devil King scorned. "Mortals are deceitful, cunning , vile , wicked and all manners of things wicked. You believe you knew Ai Feng and the others but believe me you knew nothing of them and of the despicable plans they had in store for you , Mizuki. I saved you ."

"You lie."

"If only you truly believe that." He arched an eyebrow and somehow Mizuki knew he was not lying.why would he lie?.He was the Devil King , master of all devilry and diabolical acts but he could not speak an untruth.

"You and I are alike. We were both betrayed by the ones we have trusted . No one is coming to save you . You have been long forgotten , a thing of the past and it seems I am your only hope and you had better accept that." Dai Fang muttered in her ear before he released her.

"As a sign of goodwill..." He stated in an imposing tone before he departed with his Blade. "I will not imprison you. You are free to do as you please but I need not warn you about crossing the barrier. Surely you will not be foolish enough to attempt a second undertaking."

He banged the door behind him .

"No..." She murmured aloud once he had left , her body faltered as she grew weak as sudden doubt clouded her five senses. "My Father would never give up on me ... He would not..."

Mizuki was trapped , no where to run and to no one to save her but little did she know all that was about to change with one single act...
