The oppressive silence was broken only by the distant echoes of my footsteps.
The torchlight flickered as I descended the cold, stone steps leading into the dimly lit dungeon under the mansion. The echoing sound of my footsteps reverberated off the damp walls, the air grew damp and musty, sending shivers down my spine, though I pressed on, my obsession driving me forward.
As I reached the bottom of the stairs, I faced the iron-clad door that held him captive - Hael, the servant whose every action had consumed my thoughts.
I called his name lovingly. He didn't look up right away and I walked towards him. The key clinked ominously as I turned it in the lock, the metallic sound slicing through the silence of the dungeon. The heavy door groaned open, revealing a small, dimly lit cell.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑯𝒂𝒆𝒍, 𝑰'𝒎 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖.
I stepped inside the cell and he finally raised his head to look at me. His demeanor now replaced with weariness, his eyes darting up to meet mine.
The chains that bound him rattled as he shifted uncomfortably on the cold, stone floor without a shirt. The flickering torchlight played on the contours of his face, accentuating the lines of fatigue etched into his features.
A twisted satisfaction welled within me as I gazed upon the man who had defied me, the one who had dared to challenge my authority. I relished the power I held over him, the knowledge that it was my will that had confined him to this bleak chamber. He was a prisoner, and I reveled in the control I exerted over his fate.
Hael Helio / ml
𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆, 𝑴𝒚 𝒍𝒂𝒅𝒚?
Hael's voice was strained, a mixture of exhaustion and resignation evident in his words.
A wicked smile played on my lips as I circled him like a predator closing in on its prey.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒚?🧐
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑰 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒎𝒆. 😊
I replied, savoring each word as it left my lips.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒆, 𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖?
His eyes bore into mine, a mix of anger and desperation flickering within them.
Hael Helio / ml
𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒎𝒆?
He pleaded, his voice echoing in the confined space.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑰 𝒂𝒔𝒌𝒆𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂 𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏,
I declared, my tone dripping with anticipation.
Hael Helio / ml
𝑰 𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖. 𝑴𝒚 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑻𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒎𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒆.
I took out the magic item from under my cloak, it was a heart shaped necklace that I always wore around my neck.
Hael Helio / ml
𝑰 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖.
Hael Helio / ml
𝑶𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝑴𝒚 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚.
The air in the dungeon hung heavy with tension as I approached Hael, the chains on his wrists clinking faintly in the stillness. The flickering torchlight cast eerie shadows, creating a surreal backdrop.
With a deliberate turn of the key, I unlocked the shackles that bound him, the metallic sound ringing through the damp chamber.
I stepped closer, my movements deliberate and calculated, and with an unsettling smile, I extended my arms towards him,
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑹𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕, 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒎𝒆.
As I pulled him into an embrace, the sinister hug enveloped us both. My grip on him was firm, possessive, like a predator ensnaring its prey,
Corvina Cory / fl
𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒅𝒂𝒚.
I whispered into his ear, the words dripping with a sickening sweetness,
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆, 𝑰 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖, 𝒕𝒐𝒐.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑰 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒐𝒐𝒐 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉.
My lips brushed against his ear, ignoring the blood on it as I continued. I snuggled against him, rubbing my cheeks with his cold torn skin.
He replied with a weary voice.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑫𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒈𝒐 𝒔𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒆𝒍𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒆.
I declared, the words hanging in the air,
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑶𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒙𝒕 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆, 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆.
His voice was monotonous but I didn't care. All I cared about was that he was in my arms.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑰'𝒎 𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒘.
I rubbed our cheeks together,
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑩𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒆 𝒂 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕.
His face was blank but those beautiful eyes of his were dark,
Hael Helio / ml
𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒈𝒊𝒇𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓.
Volume i ((2))
The grand halls of the Count's, my father's, house were adorned with opulent decorations, a lavish display befitting the celebration of my 18th birthday. The air was filled with the sweet scent of flowers, and the soft glow of candlelight
My father didn't really care that it was my birthday, he just used it as an excuse to invite some people for business deals. Events like these are always an excuse but who cares, we all get what we want from it.
The evening unfolded, the celebration commenced with a sumptuous feast laid out on long, ornate tables. Guests, adorned in elegant attire, mingled in the spacious rooms. As the night progressed, the clinking of glasses and the joyous hum of conversation filled the air. The Count's house staff moved through the crowd, ensuring that glasses were never empty, and the wine flowed freely.
I spent my time mostly with older aristocratic ladies of my age but I kept looking around to see where Hael was. Unfortunately I didn't get to see him.
He's not going around flirting with other ladies, is he? He's my slave, he should know his place.
No,
He just got out of the dungeon yesterday night. I'm sure he won't do something like that right the next day.
But something felt odd. Everyone present there seemed to have their faces flushed.
Was everyone drunk? That's stupid. No one was over drinking, so why? I looked around. Maybe I'm imagining it. There's no way people would get black out drunk altogether, not this early in the night.
I turned to look at the women in my circle and ignored the whole ordeal.
But it didn't take long for the party to end. Surprisingly. Everyone was drunk and all the guests had to leave early.
Even when I left the party hall, my world spun. I barely had a few sips of wine but I felt dizzy. I did somehow make it to the room but I passed out even before I could make it to the bed.
Odd
I barely had a glass myself, so why?
My eyes snapped open, startled by an unsettling noise that had pierced through the veil of my dreams.
What the-!?! The echo of a distant thud lingered in the air, disrupting the tranquility of the night. My heart raced as I sat up in bed, my senses on high alert yet my head spun. The darkness pressed in around me, and a cold sweat coated my skin.
Then it went quiet.
What's happening? Something feels wrong.
Ignoring the knots of fear tightening in my stomach, I stumbled out of the bedroom. A chilling premonition gnawed at the edges of my consciousness.
My voice wasn't coming out right,
As I ventured into the corridor outside my room, a strange odor invaded my senses. The air was thick with an acrid, metallic smell that made my stomach churn yet the hallways were empty.
Where is this rancid smell coming from??
Dread clung to me like a shroud as I moved cautiously through the eerily silent halls of the mansion. The usual soft creaks of the floorboards were replaced by an unsettling hush, broken only by the occasional murmur of the nocturnal breeze.
A sinking feeling settled in the pit of my stomach as I descended the grand staircase to the first floor. The flickering candlelight seemed to cast long shadows that danced eerily on the walls, heightening my sense of unease. The air grew more oppressive with each step, and I could almost taste the tension in the atmosphere.
Reaching the bottom of the staircase, the sight that awaited me was a grotesque tableau of horror. Lifeless bodies lay strewn across the elegant foyer, their still forms bathed in an otherworldly pallor. The opulent surroundings now served as a macabre backdrop to a scene that defied reason.
I gasped, my hand flying to cover my mouth in a futile attempt to stifle the horror that threatened to escape. A cry caught in my throat as I stumbled backward, the enormity of the nightmare unfolding before me too much to comprehend.
I wanted to scream but my voice wouldn't come out
MY GOD!!! What happened here!?!?
My eyes darted frantically across the carnage, seeking an explanation for the unimaginable.
That's when I saw him-Hael, standing amidst the chaos. His bloody hand glistened in the dim light, and my father lay lifeless at his feet.
Time seemed to slow as our eyes locked, the weight of the truth settling over me like a suffocating blanket.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑾-𝒘-𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚-𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈?
He smiled at me, then stepped towards me. Panic clawed at my throat and I took out the gemstone necklace, pouring the little mana I had into it to attack his heart.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔 𝒘𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆.
I attempted to retreat, but an invisible force held me in place, rendering my attempts at escape futile.
What!!?? What is this??! Why can't I move?!?! It was as if an unseen hand had shackled me.
Like magic. Magic that denied me control over my own movements.
But whose magic?! Hael isn't a magician!? I looked back at him and noticed his cloak.
The realization of my helplessness intensified the terror coursing through my veins. That cloak... It's the cloak the magicians of the magic tower wear. But, only highly skilled magicians are allowed to wear that.
Hael's steps echoed ominously in the stillness as he approached, a sinister smile playing on his lips. The candlelight flickered, casting eerie shadows that danced across his face, emphasizing the malevolence in his expression.
Hael Helio / ml
𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑩𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝑴𝒚 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚.
He stopped right in front of me.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕...?
Hael Helio / ml
𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕.
He said, the words cutting through the silence like a chilling wind.
Hael Helio / ml
𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕.
His eyes loocked clouded,
Hael Helio / ml
𝑰 𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒏𝒆.
I strained against the invisible restraint, desperation etched across my face. Fear and confusion mingled with disbelief. My eyes darted everywhere and I found the dead body of my brother as well,
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑩𝒚 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆?
Hael Helio / ml
𝑫𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒚. 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒐𝒐.
Hael Helio / ml
𝑨𝒍𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒍.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑩-𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝑯𝒂𝒆𝒍,
I tried my best to keep my eyes on him,
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑰 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏'𝒕 𝒅𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒆.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑰 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒐 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉.
Hael circled me slowly, reveling in the power he held over my paralyzed form,
Hael Helio / ml
𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒆.
I could feel the weight of his gaze, and that was probably the only moment in the past six years where I saw the depths of his hatred.
The invisible force that held me captive intensified, my limbs feeling like lead, leaving me utterly defenseless,
My voice came out stronger,
His gaze locked onto mine and he let me loose,
Hael Helio / ml
𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒆?
I nodded at him in a frenzy,
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑰 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖.
He passed me a disgusted smirk,
Hael Helio / ml
𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖.
With a swift, merciless motion of his hand, the invisible force crushed my body, severing the final thread of my existence. The world blurred, and the darkness claimed me
Volume i ((3))
I shot my eyes open, gasping and sweating like crazy. I sat up on an unfamiliar yet oddly familiar bed.
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑶𝒉 𝑮𝒐𝒅.....
I felt the sweat go down my neck and I wiped it with my hands,
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑰 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒄𝒌 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒆.
I shook my head and let out a breath of relief,
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑶𝒉 𝒎𝒚 𝑮𝒐𝒅.
I thought my second life was going to be short as well.
I closed my eyes and let out a deep breath.
Someone seemed to be talking to me,
Tracy / fl maid
𝑴𝒚 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚, 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒖𝒑?
I heard someone walking towards me, but-
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑴𝒚 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚?
Nobody calls me that in this life though.
Tracy / fl maid
𝑴𝒚 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚, 𝒊𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒖𝒑 𝒊𝒕'𝒔 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒈𝒐 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒆𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒕.
I shot my eyes open and looked at the woman standing by the large bed I was on.
I recognized the maid immediately. How could I ever forget that face. She was my maid in my first life, an awfully rude one at that.
"Yes," She stared at me, "Would you hurry up, I have other things to do."
I stared at her
Tracy / fl maid
𝑾𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝒖𝒑 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐.
She was my maid in my first life... But I died. Hael killed the whole manor when I turned 18 and I reincarnated in modern times. Into a normal family and lived a pretty decent life. I just got a job too, so why the hell is Tracy standing in front of me-
The room was familiar. So familiar it felt nostalgic
I felt my skin stand up as my eyes wandered around.
I ran towards the full length mirror that was always in the corner of the room by the big window
I stopped in front of it and stared at the jet black-haired girl with pale white skin staring right back at me with those dark, night like eyes
Corvina Cory / fl
𝑨𝒉 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒕,
Tracy was setting my clothes after I took a bath and changed clothes. No matter how much I wanted this to be a dream, it wasn't. I had stared at myself in the mirror long enough to know that I was back to being 'Corvina'
A girl so desperate for love, she ended up turning into a monster who tortured the man she wanted.
I was very happy in my second life. I lived like a normal person, had a loving family and good friends. I was only twenty four years old and I died again. Am I destined to love short lives or what?
Funnily enough, I hit my head on the wall when I slipped on the pavement when I was going to work in the morning. That's when all my past memories, memories of this life, came back to me. I was so ashamed of how I lived my life that I ended up not going to work and went for a drink.
I drank the whole day, ignored calls from work and at night when I was about to black out from all the drinking I decided to go home.
But somehow I ended up crossing the road without looking and didn't even notice a truck coming my way. I was so drunk, I barely even heard the honks.
