Chapter 12: Demon’s Mansion
Ariya bursts into Sapph's room after Pad fell down the hole.
Ariya: SAPPHIRE ARE YOU HERE?!!?!?
Ariya: SAPPHIRE WHERE ARE YOU!?!?!
Ariya: SAPPH PLEASE PAD IS IN NEED OF HELP!
Ariya cries on Sapph's bed after four minutes of searching for Sapphire. Sapphire comes back from her shower ten minutes later.
Sapphire:
Ariya is passed out on Sapph's bed.
Sapphire: huuu~
Sapphire: Ariya-san...?
Sapphire pinches Ariya's cheek lightly. Ariya is not waking up.
Sapphire:
Sapphire: cmon Ariya-san you can't be sleeping on the job... what if they get mad at you.
Sapphire lightly shakes her. Ariya rubs her watery eyes.
Sapphire: hi hi Ariya-san
Sapphire:
Ariya: SAPPH!
Ariya: We have to save Pad now!
Ariya: Follow me Sapph!
Sapphire:
Ariya: I was taking Pad to his trainer and he fell in a trap!
Sapphire: a trap?
Sapphire:
Ariya: It was a really big hole!
Sapphire: o h n o
Ariya: We will save you Pad! Onee-san and Sapph will save you!
Sapphire:
Ariya and Sapph runs out of the guild hall and towards where Pad was last seen.
Ariya: Right here!
Ariya: Pad fell down this hole.
Ariya: PADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!
Sapphire looks down the hole.
Ariya: What do we do Sapph?
Sapphire:
Sapphire: where is rope-kun when you need him
Sapphire: but is this really a trap?
Sapphire: or is it just a hole
Ariya went to the nearby stores to look for rope. Apparently a big party bought all of the rope to go on a dungeon in the mountains.
Ariya: The town is all out of rope.
Ariya: It was just a normal stone pathway before Pad stepped on top of it and activated it.
Ariya feels the edges of the hole and slime cover her hands.
Ariya: Slimy. Gross.
Ariya: "Sight Flare!"
Sapphire:
Ariya: I know a bit of light magic. hehe.
Ariya: Sapph do you have any skills yet?
Sapphire: Skills?
Sapphire:
Ariya: I guess not huh?
Sapphire:
Ariya: Okay. I'm going down then.
Ariya: If I don't come back up. Please find Taiga.
Sapphire: Ariya-san
Sapphire:
Sapphire: its not too deep, is it?
Ariya: We can't even see the bottom, Sapph.
Ariya: We don't even know if Pad is dead or alive.
Sapphire:
Ariya: I feel most responsible for this incident. So I will go down there to save Pad.
Sapphire: how?
Ariya: I was suppose to keep dangers from happening to Pad and look what happened.
Ariya: I'm such a failure.
Sapphire:
Ariya: I'm going now.
Ariya climbs down using her swords to dig into the dirt so she doesn't have to touch the walls with her hands. Sapphire can hear a scream in the distance down the hole: "PADDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!".
Sapphire: Please be safe Ariya-san!
Sapphire:
Sapphire: ...how can she say she's useless when i'm like this..?
Sapphire:
The wind blows around Sapphire. The atmosphere around Sapphire is uneasy.
???: Well, well, well. What do we have, here?
???: A pretty lady looking for a fun time?
Sapphire: o h n o
Sapphire: is that... diq?
Sapphire:
???: What say we go get some dinner together?
???: I know a real nice and expensive place not too far from here.
Sapphire: no pls
???: What was that? Yes please?
Sapphire: i really can't leave right now
Sapphire:
???: I forgot to introduce myself. I am Prince Charles the Fifth.
Charles: I can really take you anywhere you want.
Sapphire:
Sapphire: but i really can't leave right now, though
Sapphire:
Charles: Come on, babe. I can take you anywhere in the city.
Charles: Anywhere you want.
Charles pulls Sapphire's hand towards him.
Sapphire instinctively pulls her hand away.
Charles: Don't be like that.
Charles pulls her into the wagon leaving her equipment on the floor near the hole.
Sapphire:
Sapphire looks out the wagon window seeing different restaurants and taverns being passed.
Sapphire:
A notification shows up on Sapphire's display saying she has left the town of P-Lonsk. There are about ten royal guards on the wagon with Prince Charles.
Sapphire: of course i'd get got by some regulus corneas looking guy
Another notification shows up on Sapphire's display saying she has entered the town of Villanous.
Sapphire: that's not ominous at all
Sapph hears her name from above.
Sapphire:
Sapph looks out the window and sees Volk in the magic tower.
Sapphire: vooooooooooooooooooooolkyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy~
Sapphire:
Charles: What the fuck?
Sapphire:
Volk: Sapph!!!!
Volk cannot move due to the chains on his feet.
Volk: Fuck, are you serious?
Volk has been grounded by his trainer for not completing the task and being mischievous.
Volk: HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSE TO READ 900 BOOKS IN A DAY.
Sapphire can no longer see the magic tower.
Sapphire:
Charles: We're going to have a nice party.
Sapphire:
Charles: There will be wine and grapes.
Charles: My father is the duke of Villanous.
Charles: Have you been to a throne room before? Of course you haven't. You're a commoner.
Charles: This is the fountain of demons.
Charles: My father is a demon and my mother was a human slave.
Sapphire:
Charles: What was your father like?
Sapphire: my father...?
Charles: Yeah. Your father.
Sapphire: ...i'm sorry
Sapphire: my memory has been a little fuzzy lately.
Sapphire: wait, why am i apologizing to this guy
Charles: That's okay. What about your name? What is your name?
Sapphire: my name is Sapphire.
Charles: Sapphire, huh? Cute name.
Charles: I think I had a girlfriend a while back.
Charles: Her name was ... What was it again?
Charles: Ah! It was Pink Ruby.
Sapphire:
Charles: She was very beautiful and shiny.
Sapphire:
Sapphire:
Charles brings Sapph to his father's mansion in the northern corner of Villanous. He places Sapph at a dinner table.
Sapphire:
Charles: Care for some music?
Some random fifteenth century music starts playing loudly in the room.
Charles: Do you like it? My father hired the best musicians to come to town.
Sapphire: i-its nice...
Sapphire:
Charles: Have you ate yet? Come eat.
Sapph looks at the food on the table.
Sapphire:
Sapphire:
Sapphire: where are the grapes?
Sapphire:
Charles: You want me to fee you grapes?
Charles stand up and pulled out some grapes from behind his back. He proceed to place a hand on Sapphire's chin and feed her with his other hand.
Sapphire:
Sapphire chews on the grape. She manages to eat five grapes before feeling a bit dizzy.
Charles: Did you like them?
Sapphire passes out at the dinner table.
