Lucas removed the gloves he had on his hands as they were soaked in blood and were becoming quite sticky each passing second. He gave a final glance at the demon tied to the chair before leaving that particular cell.
Theodore, who had accompanied Lucas locked the entrance to the cell before leaving to stand beside Lucas.
"So what do you think?" He asked Lucas who casually pulled a gun from his trouser pockets and started flipping it absentmindedly.
"I didn't even begin torturing him yet he fainted." A disapproving frown formed on his face which quickly morphed into a sinister smile. " When he wakes up, I'll definitely get more answers."
The both men left the dungeon, using the forest way to get out of the castle.
"I need to go to the castle." Theodore stated on their way out.
Lucas nodded his head and replied" I'll meet you there later, I have some business to attend to."
And with that being said, they both separated.

"Oh yes baby...wine your waist there." Nicholas groaned in his intoxicated state.
A woman layed between his legs, lifting her gown before pushing her garment down.
"Are you sure about this Nicholas?" She asked shyly. The woman wasn't any ordinary person but an elite in the underworld who had a reputation for sleeping around.
Not wanting to answer her, he pushed her on the bed and tore her gown away.
"Y-you said you'll wait until tomorrow." She reminded him hurriedly.
"Shut up slut!" He shouted, anger boiling in his nerves but he composed himself back.
Discarding his clothes, he rubbed his groin on her entrance and she gasped in pleasure.
Pulling away, he acted like he wanted to stop but just as he expected, the woman pulled him back in desperation.
"Please.. continue."She begged him.
'Foolish women.' He thought in his mind.
Not waiting any further, he pushed it in, making her scream in pleasure. Without stopping, he pushed it further and pulled it out.
He continued in a constant rythym until he realised that the woman was breathing rather slowly. He stopped and heartlessly snapped her neck making her lie lifeless on his bed.
He leaned in between her legs and licked the blood that now continuously flowed on the bed.
After that, he called his guards who took her body and some maids entered afterwards.
The maids didn't look one bit surprised as they had been seeing this for quite a while now.
After that, he lay on his bed to get some rest, closing his eyes and he drifted into a deep slumber.
In a while, His eyes twitched in annoyance when he heard light footsteps padding the floor in a not so quiet manner. Brushing it off as an illusion, he continued sleeping but heard the footsteps again and this time it was louder!.
Finally, he opened his eyes and stood up from the bed angrily. He looked around the room but no one was there. Going to the door, he opened it and closed it back, locking it firmly.
Turning back, he jumped back in surprise when he saw Lucas seating comfortably on one of his lavish couches.
"Your Highness." He immediately greeted, trying to school his features.
Why was Lucas in his house? The last time he saw him was when Lucas almost killed him in the human world when he had tried to touch that girl.
Lucas held a dagger on his hand and was cutting an apple that was on the table.
"Please do seat Nicholas, it's your room after all." Lucas's voice was low, danger seeming to coat each word.
Nicholas's head throbbed in pain because of the alcohol he had drank. He warily went to his bed and sat as far away from Lucas as possible.
"What brings you here your Highness." He asked politely like the good man he faked in front of many people.
Lucas chuckled" Just a few months ago, you were threatening me and now you're at my knees. I wonder what happened."
Nicholas couldn't speak. He was speechless.
"Your room smells like death." Lucas glanced around the room and his eyes trailed to the bed which looked quite neat. It wasn't hard to put the pieces together on what happened.
"I... that your Highness, a maid died here." He stuttered nervously.
"Oh that's normal, killing maids by accidentally drinking their blood and not by something else, right Nick?"
Lucas's intelligent eyes observed Nicholas closely, who twitched in his seat every now and then.
"What is his majesty trying to imply?" He asked coyly.
Lucas who was tired of this back and forth shit threw the dagger in his hand and it pierced through Nicholas's leg.
Nicholas screamed in pain and tried to remove the dagger but it didn't budge.
"Oops, my hand must have slipped." Lucas said sarcastically.
"Remember this Nicholas, whatever you are planning isn't going to work. Next time, this knife won't be going through your leg but through your neck."
Hearing Nicholas screaming, the guards rushed inside to find the culprit but Lucas was long gone.
Nicholas sat in horror as the guards surrounded him, checking for intruders.
"Milord, are you alright?" One of the guards asked cautiously.
Abruptly, Nicholas stood up and draped a coat over his shoulders.
The pain he was feeling slowly turned to anger and from anger it turned to something worse. Something deadly.
"I will get my revenge!"
