"Tasukete.." A pair of quivering lips cried for help. She doesn't know for how long they will confine her in that dark and cold room of an abandoned tower. 

The door went open and she looked up at the person who brought her a tray of food and water. He placed the tray on the wooden table and then, he squatted down to wipe her tears. She cried softly when she felt his lips on hers. He hushed her quietly and stood up to carry her back to the bed. She already lost count on how many times this person did her dirty. 

"Makoto.." She kept on crying with her eyes shut tightly and thinking that sooner or later, he will be able to save her from that place. 

"No one can save you from here." He whispered to her ear while enjoying the sweetness of her body. 

"He promised me.." She used her last shred of energy to push him off but he just pinned her wrists tight on the bed. 

She screamed so loud. Few servants from the kingdom heard it but then, they went back to work. They were ordered to ignore everything they will hear from that abandoned tower. Once, there was a kind servant who tried to help her from escaping but a rogue found them and the king learned about it. The servant and her family were punished with decapitation.

Makoto gritted his teeth when he heard her screams inside his mind. He can't accept how that man abused her body when they all know that she is only his. His white wings flapped and he screamed his frustration out when he started attacking Yuuki. The younger one smiled wickedly before letting out a manic laugh. Yuuki lifted his arms and swarmed Makoto with fire balls. 

Sho struck Hokuto's katana with his twins, making the younger one strike horizontally to shield himself. He pushed it forward and Sho backed out for a bit. He threw one of the twins and Hokuto immediately dodged it. His katana automatically went back to his hand when he pulled the chain attached to kashira. He held the twins backwards and smiled viciously. 

"You will never win against me. I will kill you." Sho's voice is full of anger and he threw his twins around to bind Hokuto with the chains. 

He flew upwards and let it bind his katana. A light ball quickly formed on his palm and he shot it to Sho's direction. The older one tried to dodge it but it grazed his arm. It started bleeding and the pain was excruciating. Hokuto pulled his katana out from the chains' grip before it could crush it. 

"You made Fuyu carry your bastard child. She never loved you and your child." Supposedly, words from an angel like Hokuto should not be effective with Sho but since they are talking about Fuyu, it is a different matter to discuss. 

Itsuki stared at Riku with those dark grey eyes. He barely showed anyone that he had that eye color because some kids are getting scared of him when they see it. Silver twin guns appeared on his hands and he pointed it to his direction. The glass bullets contain holy water blessed with ten powerful prayers against the demons. He can't waste it because each magazine contains only ten bullets. 

"You think you can kill me with that? Even if you shower me with holy water, I will never die." He laughed hysterically and Itsuki pulled the triggers to shoot him. 

The speed of the bullets were too fast and it pierced Riku's shoulders. He howled like one of those wolves in the forest as the glass bullets melted and the holy water started running through his veins. He closed his eyes when more humans were getting killed. Their souls were captured by Riku's demonic powers and it is making the holy water ineffective inside his body. After absorbing a few dozens of human souls, the skies turned dark and lightning and thunder occurred. Gia can clearly hear the thunder roaring outside heaven's kingdom. This woke her up and when she tried to look outside, the guards stopped her and put her back in the bed. 

"The war has started and we can't let you out. Deity and the guardians are fighting against the demons and we need to keep you safe." One of the guards explained to her and she can feel her heart pounding loudly. 

"They will win the war, desho? Itsuki will be back to me." She was teary-eyed when she asked the guards and servants. 

"All we can do is to believe in them." She closed her eyes and her tears fell. She already lost Fuyu and she can't bear to lose Itsuki or either Makoto and Hokuto. 

「 🌒 」

"Makoto.." She smiled faintly while staring at the darkness of the room. The man left her right after abusing her body. 

She doesn't know what to feel anymore. She is losing faith that Makoto will be able to save her. More tears fell from her eyes when she placed her hand on her growing belly. She doesn't want to keep this child but she doesn't know how she will kill it now that her body is weak. She never wanted to carry a demon's child. All she wants is Makoto's child. 

That demon impregnated her a few times already and it is his fourth child from her. She doesn't know where he is bringing the child after she gave birth to it. For all the years she spent at the abandoned tower, the only thing she wishes for herself is to die. She is already tired of what the demon is doing to her. She wants to die but they are not letting her die. 

"I want to die now.." She cried softly as she tried to get up from the bed. She reached for the glass sitting on the tray and it fell on the floor. 

She stepped on the tiny glass shards and picked up the largest one. She still got a little more strength. She stabbed her belly with it and she screamed in pain. She did it many times to make sure that the child would die. She fell on her knees and sobbed loudly while pointing the shard on her neck. 

"Makoto.. I'm sorry. I love you so much." One last smile formed on her lips and the door slammed open when she slit her throat with it. 

Her entire body fell on the floor and she slowly closed her eyes as she knew that it would be her last breath already. The demon rushed towards her and carried her dead body in his arms. He doesn't have any plans on reviving her. He soared high up the sky and flew to the human world to show Makoto that his beloved is already dead. 

「 🌒 」

"Lauren.." Makoto whispered with his wide eyes when he saw her dead in the demon's arms. Yuuki stopped from attacking for a while. 

"You fucking bastard." His eyes teared up in anger. The demon gave him a mocking smile and threw her dead body towards him. 

"Hello. My name is Kenta. I had three children with your beloved." The older one grinned widely while watching Makoto mourn for Lauren.
