Narika: The Ghost Bride-Chapter 245 - Two Hundred And Fourty-Five: An Escape Goat.
"Where is he?"Lucuis entered into Mammon’s room to find him having the best time of his life, in the bloodbath he was sitting in, then the compelled human girls that were with him in the tub, while he smoked weed.
To that Lucuis’ could come to only one conclusion, the best feeling ever but it seems like he had forgotten that the war isn’t over yet, and he’s relaxing. Including the stupid Seth, who thinks that not telling anyone where he was was the best idea right now, considering the situation around him.
Although it has always been a habit with him, popping up when he’s not needed and disappearing when he’s needed. Lucuis couldn’t really see the reason their father fancies him that much, but then for the fact that amongst them all that he’s the one who didn’t think of the risk, saving him made him immune to their father’s harsh treatment towards them, especially him.
"You gotta be a bit specific on that, brother. As you can see I’m having a lovely time here, isn’t that so ladies?" Mammon asked, running his snake-like tongue across the punctured injury on the side of the neck of one the blondies, before coming to sink his fangs in it, but Lucuis dragged him back causing him to cuss at him.
"What’s wrong with you?" Mammon asked, beating his hands off him, before standing up to take his cloth to dress up. He was not not in the mood any longer and it’s thanks to Lucuis’ stupid ass.
"I’m talking about Seth, father needs him and he hasn’t been seen around for hours now. Do you know where he went, any clues?" He asked further, to which Mammon shrugged.
"I don’t know, maybe he went to hell considering the fact that no one does actually know who he truly is." Mammon said, before dropping his weed back on the tray then turned to a worried Lucuis.
"It’s no big deal, just tell father he’s not around at the moment, so what about the woman?" Mammon asked, making Lucuis to raise his brow at him since he didn’t actually understand which woman exactly he’s talking about.
In case it slipped his mind, they had a lot of people hostage here, so he had to be specific on who exactly he’s talking about, until Mammon dapped his shoulder.
"Come on, the one who’s got father feeling like some horny teenager. Is she dead yet?"
"Why would she die?"
"I don’t know, You have this look on your face that she’s going to be a problem." Mammon said, he still wanted to talk before Camille’s screams coming from their father’s quarters made Lucuis grunted angrily.
"See, you are doing it again. Someone has to do something about her." He added.
"Yeah, the last time i did, I was knocked off and treated like shit, so why don’t you try?" Lucuis suggested, but Mammon laughed nervously before shaking his head.
"You know i can’t do that."Mammon said, before leaving his room while Lucuis followed behind.
"Loser." Lucuis cussed under his breath.
"I heard that." Mammon said, smirking before walking into the father’s room to see him holding Camille by her throat.
"You don’t want to kill her, father. Do you mind leaving her, she’s scared of you if you don’t want her dead." Mammon suggested, to which for the first time Rowan did listen to someone’s advice and let Camille go, while she runned over to the other side of the room fearfully.
"I ..want to go home." She said, making everyone’s attention to be on her as Rowan laughed wickedly.
"Oh! Darling, there’s no home for you to go back to any longer, not that there’s ever going to be one after i am done." He said, before turning to look at Lucius.
"Where’s Seth?" He asked, for the second time again, this time his patience was running low because it’s unlike him to stay out this late without giving anyone any idea what he’s up to, especially around the important times that he’s needed.
The look Lucuis had on his face, made him know that he still didn’t have any idea where he was, he growled loudly as every negative thought ran across his mind.
But before he could actually say something the door was pushed open and in walked Sia. "There’s a problem." She said, as they all looked at themselves thinking of what it was it might be.
Lucuis growled at her, since he had this perception that she might have made a mistake that was going to affect them, but until her next statement that made them question how foolish Seth was.
"It’s about Seth." She said lastly, before Mammon rushed out, following him was Lucuis, before Rowan did but nothing looking at Camille, one more time, hissed at her that made her whimper in fear where she was before leaving.
They arrive at Sia’s lair, where she did some magic and there on the orb was the message Lucifer sent to Rowan, while behind him was a not so good looking Seth, he was beaten up badly and was pretty up in a bad shape that made Rowan’s eyes go red.
He shattered the items on the table nearest to him, as the others jumped where they stood, before Lucuis tried doing something to calm him down.
"How could he be so reckless?" Mammon muttered, running his hands through his hair.
"We know where they are, we could get him back." Lucuis uttered, which was the most stupidest suggestion ever, seeing as their father has been the one to invite Lucifer for a duel, one that would end up with one person among them dead, so going to hell right now was a death trap, not for them actually but for whoever they would send.
They would be expecting their visit, but at the same time from the look on their father’s face says it all. Was he going to leave Seth to die there?
"We could use his children to get him back? I mean, Seth did keep them here for a reason right?"Mammon asked.
"Yeah, like he made himself an escape goat after getting the twins here."Lucuis snickered. This was a perfect time to get their father to see that Seth was disposable.
He might be smart, but then that doesn’t mean that he’s invisible.
"Play the video." Rowan ordered, and Sia did as he instructed as Rowan watched Lucifer smile now, seeing that he had his son, his favorite son.
"It was really nice of you to send a message for me, but guess what Rowan? You weren’t so smart to keep your lapdog in check. Hand over the twins and then you have him, there’s no deciding how to meet up, you know where to drop them, tonight!" He said lastly, before cutting the video.
"I will have our men prepared." Mammon said, turning to leave but he got stopped by their father.
"You will do nothing." Rowan said, a little bit calm than they had imagined him to be after watching the video Lucifer sent.
"W.. what? He’s going to kill him, father." Mammon reminded him, in case he didn’t read Lucifer’s body language. He wasn’t bluffing with his words and there’s Lucuis who stood by the side, saying nothing.
Mammon has always been closer to Seth than he was to him, it was like nobody really valued him in the family so he could care less what is happening right now.
"No, he’s not." Rowan added.
"You don’t know that!" Mammon raised his voice, a little too hard at him because he screamed and fell to his knees, holding his head.
"St..stop it! Please!" Mammon cried.
"Father, it’s not going to be good to lose two sons in a day." Lucuis had to speak up, so as to not be suspicious that he was just standing and watching all of them kill himself.
Rowan listened to him too and let Mammon go, as Sia rushed over to help him, while Rowan turned to face Lucius.
"How’s the training with the army?" Rowan asked Lucuis, who walked over Mammon where he laid on the ground, while walking out with Lucuis following behind.
"Good, father. Our men would be ready in two days time, I assure you." Lucuis said with a smile. For the first time, he’s putting him in charge of something without guilt trapping him into believing that he’s nothing but a nuisance.
"Good." Rowan said, before stopping to look at the dungeon where the pathetic humans are, wailing and waiting for a miracle to occur. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
He smirked.
There’s no miracle, nobody is coming for them and even if anyone tried to, they won’t walk out alive as long as he’s here.
Nobody gets into his kingdom without getting through him first. Nobody, not even an enemy.
"About Seth..." Lucuis tried speaking about her, but he cut into his words.
"He got himself in this mess, he would take care of it himself." Lucuis said, turning to leave before he stopped when he remembered something.
"Lastly, kill Lucifer’s kids."
