Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 266: Siva an Torna



Chapter 266: Siva an Torna

Stepping through the exquisite halls of the House of Scara, I could not help but look forwards to seeing Silvia\'s parents. Zanris said they took quite well of her during her time but so much was left unsaid regarding those two.

"Master, will you turn them?" Zanris suddenly questioned to my shock. Personally, it did not matter to me. After the shit Zanris had done, I felt nothing could be worse.

"You\'re a devil; you can turn them yourself. "I responded, regarding the silence that followed after my words.

"We have arrived," Anna stated, giving the large stone door a powerful knock. Quaking in her boots in anticipation, I could not help but smile, watching the doors begin to open on their own. Suddenly a flash of light shot towards Zanris as a devilishly attractive flame wrapped her arms around Zan, kissing her lips.

"ZAN, I HAVE MISSED YOU!!!!!" Shouted the sex offender to my shock.

Sheading tear Zanish returned the hug and kiss, "Siva, I have returned."

Observing the almost carbon copy of Silvia, I could not help but marvel at the mature and thick flaming redhead filling out all the right spots before me. Turning my gaze to the man sipping tea without care, I could not help but snicker at his helpless expression towards is wife locking lips with another.

"Si, we talked about this. We talk to the boy; then you can have a moment with Zanris." The man explained in sorrow. Observing his long ears and dark evergreen hair upon his handsome face, I figured he was Silvia\'s father.

"I am Torna Scara, the Head Elder of the House of Scara. I have heard many things about you, Arsene Snow."

Stepping into his room filled with... sakura blossoms designed to be a mixture of nature and work. I scrunched my brow at the odd design, cuffing my hands towards him. I had always wanted to see a sakura tree up close. But I never had the chance to hunt in Japan, although I did get my fill of some special sushi within the states.

"Have a seat Lord Snow." Said Torna with a kind expression, "I have heard many things from the reports.

"Let me just get to the point, " Siva suddenly shouted from behind me. Pushing her fire-like hair from her gaze, she smiled, revealing a cute fang, "Do you want to marry my daughter."

"..."

"..."

Lilith, I had nothing to do with this. It\'s these mortals\' fault. Why does everything have to be about marriage in a noble family?

"I assume this is about the man Zanris family wishes her to marry?" I patiently asked, getting a response I had hoped.

"Aye, that lonesome bitch wishes for our daughter to marry into her family." Siva stated, "but we..."

"No, it\'s fine; you can reject them. Silvia is a part of Vaevictis. She is under the rule of my wife, Yura Snow." I lightly said without much thought.

"Impossible! To join another power would go against our laws." Torna roared, rising from his seat in a fit of rage. "She would be disowned if it was known to the patriarch and the various elder. Shit, if this got out, it would be a major scandal.

"Don\'t know what to tell you. Ask your daughter if she is a part of us. But who in their right mind would disown an Emblem User? Do any of you understand how powerful they are? Silvia can do as she pleases because, at the end of the day, any sect under the heaven will wish for her to join them."

"Torna, "Siva whispered, nudging his arm. Releasing a heavy breath of air, the young man returned to his seat, glaring menacingly towards me; I snickered, "Relax, you hold all the power, but you are letting an outside clan dictate your choices."

Snorting, Torna waved his hand, "Let this matter rest; I wanted to speak to you about your spiral relic. The House of Scara wishes that you start with us in distributing."

"Get me a room that has access to everyone within the Vanir Clan, and I am willing to give two hundred Relics away for free and allow you all first access to Crossroads. I am sure you have heard of it?"

"We have, and Torgeir warned us about your little side business." Siva warned as she turned to Zanris, "however we trust Zan, so if she says it\'s help full, we will definitely return your favor.

ARching my lips, I was about to speak when Siva placed her fingers upon my lips. "Unless it is to speak the truth, keep silent."

Removing her fingers upon my lips, I smiled, "Of course, this is my gift to Silvia and Zanris. Zan, please do tell them the truth."

"Nothing is ever free, Si. "Zan stated in a hollow tone, "It will both help and hurt your house should you deal with the Devil."

"You are quite cunning for your age. All we know about these contracts is that something will be asked of us at some point." Said Torna, brewing a cup of tea.

"Correct, a breakthrough into Realm of World, immortality, all of it is a simple handshake away," I stated with a dark smile sending a chill down the couple\'s hearts. "But I am sure the other houses are more than willing to comply with my wishes."

"And so are we," Torna bitterly stated, knowing he had no choice in regards to this. "But I want your word Arsene that you nor your wife will make our daughter enter a contract with you."

Taking a whiff of the tea, I poured myself a cup, a little disrespectful, but a wicked smile slowly appeared upon my appearance, "That is up to your daughter and you all. My deals affect more than you can possibly perceive. For example, you tell one of your useless members to enter a contract to get Silvia out of this situation; what do you think will happen?"

Scrunching her brow, Siva spoke, "so you do have a way?"

"He doesn\'t because he is not enforcing the deal... there is a third party." Torna explained with glowing eyes bringing joy to my icy heart. "By sacrificing someone, we could essentially turn Silvia or our house into a monster. We could have an entire house of those with emblems."

"In a way, yes, but do you think what you have could cover the cost of an emblem?" I mocked in a hint of contempt, "Those that are young have a better chance of having their wish fulfilled, for they have more to offer."

"You cannot mean giving you those that cannot even defend themselves?" Siva hesitantly asked, pushing down her greed; however, Torna was different. Watching the desire overflowing from his soul, I chuckled.

"They are more lucrative than an old fart due to their innocence and purity."

"So virgins work as well?" Torna coldly asked. "That\'s good to know.

"Tor, stop this. Do you realize what you\'re saying? You do not even know what this boy will ask for?" shouted Siva rising from her seat. "He could take their lives away. These are our future generations.

"I don\'t see how that matters if it\'s at the expense of the weak."
