White Haired Man
"Kaizer?"
With that, Jennifer confirmed her doubts.
"What do you know about the white-haired man?"
"Alexander?" She answered without thinking and quickly put her hands on her mouth in regret.
Alexander couldn't possibly have a good relationship with the vampires based on how many she saw him killing.
"Oh~ So that's his name..." Jennifer smiled because she found someone who could give her more information about Alexander. Thus making her a step ahead of her mother.
Elane was getting more and more afraid and Jennifer realized it.
"Don't worry~. You are not in trouble. Rather, if you tell me more about him, I guarantee you that no one in this castle will lay a finger on you"
Elizabeth watched the girl being deceived but couldn't say anything. Nothing that left Jennifer's mouth was trustworthy.
"O-Okay"
Elane was relieved to have some sort of security in such a scary place. Weirdly, she wasn't fazed by the decapitated head in Jennifer's hands. Maybe she got somewhat used to it because of Alexander.
Jennifer brought both girls to her room.
It was a huge room with a big bed and a lot of stuffed animals. Jennifer liked pink and white, her room was almost entirely covered in pink with few details in white or gold.
Jennifer finally released the head giving it to a servant. She sat on the bed and called the girls to sit with her.
"Now, tell me everything you know about him"
Elane nodded her head obediently and started talking.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alexander woke up. He had no idea where he was or how much time passed, but all his sacrificed senses came back so it was at least five days.
He looked at the chains on his wrists and feet. The chains on his wrists were way stronger and he couldn't break them even if he tried but the one on his leg wasn't as strong.
The queen seemed really afraid he would run away. He was confused since he didn't plan on running away, at least not for now.
His thoughts were clearer now and he finally gave the curse on his left arm a proper look. It was a nice tattoo that covered almost half of his forearm.
He became really fond of it because it remembered him of Evan.
After a while, since he had nothing better to do, he started training.
The queen entered the room and saw Alexander doing push-ups with one arm. She waited a lot for him to wake up and wasn't happy about it.
Alexander didn't stop even after she entered the room.
"Get up" She ordered.
He still didn't stop so she used her powers to make him stand.
"Oh... Sorry, I didn't see you" Alexander said calmly.
"You need to get disciplined as my new slave" She said while holding a whip.
"..."
"You will call me master from now on"
"Can't I call you by your name?"
She was already mad at him so after those words, she slashed the whip at him.
He didn't dodge and the whip hit his body making a wound on his shoulder. The pain was great but Alexander didn't react to it. The queen thinking he was resisting the pain slashed again.
The whip hit Alexander's body again but he didn't move again. He looked down at the wound which was already healing.
'This is a really bad weapon, she's hitting so hard but it can barely make any real damage'
He didn't know the point of using such a weak weapon.
Alexander looked at his own hands, he could sacrifice his sense of touch to stop the pain but it just felt unnecessary.
The queen was confused, the whip wasn't normal as it intensified the pain. Even then it wasn't working, Alexander didn't look bothered in the slightest when she thought he would be on the ground screaming.
After a few minutes, Alexander's body was covered in deep cuts. His blood painted his entire body red.
The queen got more and more restless as she felt the smell of his blood. It was tempting to suck all his blood but she controlled herself.
She gave up on using the whip and started thinking of another way to make him fully obey her.
His wounds healed without leaving scars. The only scars he had were the ones from before he escaped the laboratory.
His clothes who were already torn before now were completely destroyed and he was naked. The queen saw his state and used her powers to remove the blood from him. Of course, she stored the blood to drink it later.
Then, she gave him new clothes. She had to do it all herself since she didn't want anyone to know about him.
"Thanks" He said as he put on his new clothes.
"... Shira"
"What?"
"My name is Shira, you can call me that for now"
"Alexander"
"I'll call you whatever I want"
"...Sure"
The blood she got raised her mood.
"Don't try to run. I'll make sure you regret it if you do"
She disappeared from the room after threatening him.
"The room doesn't even have a door"
Alexander thought about the interactions he had with Shira and he felt that maybe there was something wrong with her, but he couldn't think of anything she did wrong.
He gave up thinking about it after a few seconds and sat on the ground to practice his breathing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jennifer was intrigued after listening to everything Elane said.
'Is he just a maniac? Not that I dislike it, but it doesn't make sense for him to enter a random village and kill all the hunters for no reason. Maybe a contracted assassin? No, who would contract such a powerful assassin to kill such weak people?'
"Are you sure the people from your village didn't do anything against him?"
"I'm sure! I never saw anyone like him before. And anyone would remember someone as unique as him"
'But he doesn't look like a maniac so the only thing left is... The villagers did something to him. Is Elane lying? No, it's more likely that she just didn't know about it'
