Seven Sins System Chapter 344. No Repentance
The Malifex Clan, especially their leader, Xalgrim, looked pleased with my answer. "Good. I'll take her as our bride, then," he said with a satisfied smile.
'Finally! One problem off my list!' I celebrated inside. I'd been hunting down a suitable bride for them for ages, and now, they'd finally accepted.
"So, what's next?" I asked, my excitement bubbling over.
Xalgrim's eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief. "We celebrate, of course. The union of our clan with a mortal bride is a rare occasion. Tonight, even the shadows will dance in joy."
I chuckled at his dramatic flair. "Sounds like a plan. I'll leave you to your festivities. Just… take good care of her, alright? And maybe… be gentle?"
He grinned, flashing those sharp teeth. "Don't worry. We know our ways."
I loosened my tentacles from around the woman, careful not to hurt her fragile mortal frame. Before I handed her over, though, I couldn't resist laying down a few ground rules.
"Oh, and just a reminder. She's a mortal, not a demon, so she's a bit… fragile," I said seriously. I gestured with my tentacles, emphasizing how delicate she was compared to them.
"If things get too overwhelming, she might lose her mind or even try to end things herself. If that happens, keep her detained and feed her directly if you have to. Make sure she's clean so she doesn't get sick, keep the temperature just right, and don't forget to give her enough water," I instructed. Mortals were so much like glass ornaments compared to demons; they needed all kinds of careful handling.
I leaned in closer, locking eyes with Xalgrim. "One more thing," I added, my tone dropping to a more serious note. "Mortals don't have a long lifespan. Most don't make it past a hundred years. So… use her well. If something goes wrong, I can't promise another mortal for you."
"Understood," Xalgrim nodded. He reached out, gently taking the woman's trembling form from my tentacles. They knew they were getting a rare prize, and they fully understood the responsibility.
The rest of the Malifex Clan stared at her with a mix of curiosity and excitement, knowing she was the key to saving their clan. Once Xalgrim cradled her, her terror was written all over her face. Her eyes darted around, taking in the demonic creatures surrounding her.
The moment my tentacles let go of her mouth, she let out a scream. It was raw and full of fear. She tried to struggle, but against Xalgrim's strength, it was pointless. He held her firmly but carefully, almost like she was some delicate artifact.
The other clan members watched, curious, as she squirmed and kicked, doing everything she could to break free. Her wide, frightened eyes darted around, seeing nothing but dark shapes and sharp teeth all around her.
Xalgrim's grin stretched wider, showing off his sharp teeth as he soaked in her fear. His red eyes locked onto her, clearly enjoying the scent of her fear like it was a fine wine.
"It's alright, mortal. You're in Malifex hands now, and you have a special role to play," he said, mixing a bit of reassurance with a hefty dose of control.
Her screams didn't stop. "Ahhh! Nooo! Please, let me go! I swear I'll take good care of the kids! Please, let me go!" she begged. Her tear-streaked face turned toward me, pleading for some shred of mercy, for a way to escape what was about to happen.
But I just kept my pleasant smile, ignoring her desperation like it was background noise. Her promises to take care of the children? The deal was sealed, and repentance had no place here.
"It's too late for that," I said, my voice smooth but cold, like a velvet-covered dagger. My sweet smile stayed in place. "You should be thanking me," I added, pretending like I was doing her a favor. "You wanted kids, right? Now, you'll have them—your own, not adopted. Quite the deal, don't you think? No more words needed."
Her frustration hit a peak. "Human children!" she yelled, her tone drenched in despair. "I wanted human children, not demons!"
I stayed casual, shrugging off her complaints like they were minor inconveniences. "They'll look human, for the most part. Just ignore the lower half and the horns," I said with a dismissive wave. "Besides, you have five strong husbands now. Isn't that better than cheating or hiring a gigolo, like you used to?" I couldn't help but smirk at her, the irony delicious.
Her expression didn't change; she was still desperate, still clinging to a life she'd never get back. Her constant pleas and complaints were wearing thin on my patience. Mortal drama was never my thing, and her begging was starting to get on my nerves.
Turning back to Xalgrim, I let out an exasperated sigh. "I'll have my servant send over the tonics you'll need," I said, my tone clipped. Without even thinking, I covered one ear with my pinky.
With the final details in place, I felt relief. The Malifex Clan had what they needed, and I could finally move on from this particular headache.
