The Cruel Fate
Part 30.2
“So, we finally met also in person... Chiarra..” greet Darrick with a smile. “Ah... before I start the offer, I will introduce myself to you. I am the Sovereign of the Underworld, the Ruler of Demons and Demons throughout the universe. My name is Darrick.” Darrick reached out his hand as if to invite Arra to shake hands with him, but then he pulled back his hand and chuckled.
“I forgot... Your hand is being tied up huh?” she said with a soft laugh at Arra.
“Heppash!” screeched Arra in an indistinct voice.
The girl's body continued to move uncharacteristically and tried to break away from the bond and also the mouth. His chest felt so tight because of his airway which was so difficult due to the damn black cloth that stuffed his mouth.
“What did you say? Tell me the obvious, I don't understand.” said Darrick again.
“Heppash!!!” scream the girl again.
“Ah... would you like to thank me for saving you from Ellard's touch? Hahaha, just so you know, I still appreciate you because you are the lover of my former best friend. And if you have to be the empress as a prisoner, then I deserve that right?” said Darrick.
“Hmmmhh!!” Arra it feels right – really already can not stand.
“Oh, you have trouble talking? You want me to let go of this?” darrick asked and pointed at the cloth that was stuffing the girl's mouth.
“Heppash!!!” arra's cry grew louder, the urate of – neck veins of the girl even to the point of being seen because she was so insistent as to release herself from the clutches of this crazy demon standing before her.
“Ssttt... Just shut up, don't move much later you're tired. Shut up.. and calm down, until your prince comes here to pick you up..” Darrick said again.
The devil's words now make Arra aware, the reason why he was brought to this place forcibly before the war. The girl understood, the deal Darrick wanted to make by using himself as bait, was none other than because this demon knew that he would lose the battle. That's why he had to go that far, risking his life entering the territory of the angels and making him a prisoner. Because if Arrio goes into this place, then it can be sure he will not be able to come out easily and in time to lead the war and his troops. Which means, the chances of winning will also be greater.
Realizing this, Arra recalled Jason and Aksel's words while teaching himself the knowledge of angels and healers.
“The angel is known for his calmness. Like the water in the lake. They look so calm and beautiful, but can also be very deadly if people who are nearby are heartless – hearts. They could have fallen and drowned in a lake that didn't even have ripples.”.
Word – said Jason it again ringing in his head.
And finally, Arra tried to calm himself down. She was not a weak girl who did not have any ability. He's The Healer. He had such great strength and Aksel had also been alluding to him several times. In fact, Arrio's large bird called the Phoenix can also melt on him. For this demon…
“So I know, your hand is a healer who will save many angels and also the humans you want. But it can also be a terrible destroyer if you do not want it. All that, you can decide directly with your heart and mind. You need to stay calm and focused. Wherever you are.. and whatever happens.”.
Now Aksel's speech appeared in his mind. And make Arra finally fully aware, also know what he has to do.
The girl stopped moving and straightened her body. He confirmed his sitting position and took a breath, then exhaled slowly with his nose. The piercing glare of sharp eyes remained there, although it now looked calmer and as if it was ready with everything that was happening. His frightened face gradually faded, changing with a face full of calmness.
“Why did you arrive – arrived silent like that?” ask Darrick who's starting to notice Arra's change.
Arra who was still silent now just looked at her with a calm look and even blinked his eyes as usual.
“What happened to you?” ask Darrick again.
The demon looked around the corner in the tent and made sure no angel had managed to infiltrate it and calm the girl down. The room temperature in that place suddenly became very cold. The wind was blowing hard enough that the big tent was half swaying from its foundation.
Darrick quickly – quickly releases the clot in Arra's mouth so he can hear the girl's answer about what is really going on.
“What are you doing? Why are you like this?” ask Darrick.
His voice sounded quite quivering, signaling he was a little shaky and scared by what was happening right now, right before him. Arra himself threw a thin smile and looked at Darrick's face without blinking, he tilted his head and held back the laughter of seeing the devil's expression.
Darrick seemed to realize he had missteps.
“You will lose, Darrick. Even if you hold me here, it will make it easier for me to destroy you up close,”, Arra said as Darrick removed the girl's cover.
“What do you mean? Tell me clearly!” darrick's orders.
Arra tilted his head and smiled faintly. I don't know where he learned that kind of expression.
“My hands are a healer for the angels. But for you, this is such a powerful curse!” said Arra. “The place where my hand touched, it will feel so hot and make all your muscles and nerves numb. You won't be able to move your hand anymore, neither will your warlord who has so brazenly touched me. His body will burn!” continue the girl.
“What a fun joke, sweet girl. What a good bluff! I knew it wouldn't happen. You know why? Since—” Hasn't had time for Darrick to continue saying, a demon came in running towards him.
“Sir! My lord!” his yell.
“What? Why did you just walk in!” darrick was upset.
“P-commander... Commander Ellard!”
