Episode 3

The maids drag Eliza into the house, without any guards. They enter the first room they find and make sure there is no one inside before locking themselves in with Eliza.

The maid holding Eliza pushes her, causing her to crash onto the floor. Eliza grimaces in pain from the kick she received from Marko.

"Now you will regret hurting our friend, you bastard," the angry maid says, glaring at Eliza.

Eliza remains calm as she looks around the room, analyzing it. It resembles more of a storage room than a bedroom, but she notices something that will make things easier for her.

The maid tries to strike Eliza, but she swiftly evades the attack and runs towards a small table a few steps away. She grabs a pair of scissors covered in dusty and sets her sights on the maids.

The maids tremble before the gaze of the girl. It's not the gaze of a child; it's as if they are staring at a demon devoid of any sanity.

Though it's not far from the truth. Eliza, also known as Alexa, was a merciless killer, specializing in firearms and excelling as a sniper. She never failed a murder and never showed any mercy, regardless of the target. That's why she earned the nickname "demon of weapons." She appeared as an ordinary girl, but her true nature was that of a deranged psychopath who found immense pleasure in brutally killing her victims.

The maids sense the danger and instinctively retreat, attempting to escape. However, as one of them places her hand on the latch, Eliza pierces her hand with the scissors, pinning it to the door.

The maid releases a piercing scream of pain. Eliza giggles as she moves and rushes towards her, pushing the other maid aside to remove the scissors from the first maid's hand. She then buries the scissors in the right eye of the first maid, who screams in agony before Eliza retrieves the scissors from her eye and plunges them into her throat, preventing any further screams as she falls to the floor, desperately writhing.

Eliza retrieves the scissors once more, her eyes gleaming with delight at the sight of blood on them. She then fixes her gaze on the remaining terrified maid, who lies motionless on the floor, paralyzed by fear.

"I love that look," Eliza says, pleased, drawing near the maid who is unable to move or scream.

Eliza reaches the maid and runs the scissors gently along her cheek.

"The most pleasing emotion for killers... the fear of our victims..."

Consumed by fear, the maid faints, unable to withstand the piercing gaze of Eliza's blue eyes which reflect an abyss of madness.

"So boring... they mercilessly abuse children but are scared of one little murder... truly pathetic," Eliza mutters.

"Who's there?" comes a voice from the door, causing Eliza to instantly turn, feeling her heart race.

"It's really you..." she says, unable to believe her eyes.

Standing before her is a cute ten-year-old boy with jet-black hair and a bandage covering his eyes. It's him, she recognizes him. Christopher, the villain of the novel, her beloved.

"Who are you?" the boy asks coldly, as if he could see her.

Unable to see, his other senses are heightened, allowing him to easily perceive what's happening. The smell of fresh blood and other scents indicate a lifeless body and an unconscious one. They seem to be maids, judging by their odor. There is also a third individual, a girl, probably the murderer, based on her voice.

This doesn't surprise him. He couldn't care less about the lives of others. If he had the chance, he would personally kill each of the bastards who took what was rightfully his and now treat him like an animal.

"Oh, it's you!" Eliza exclaims, immediately moving closer, but the boy recoils.

"Don't be scared, I'm not dangerous, at least not to you," she says, keeping her distance.

"Who are you?" Christopher asks again.

"My name is Eliza, your future wife and the person who will take care of you from now on," Eliza says with a bright smile that Christopher can't see, but he can sense the excitement in her voice and even hear the rapid beating of her heart, so he knows she's not lying.

"Go away, I'm not going to marry anyone, especially not the daughter of that bastard. Leave if you don't want to die," the boy says coldly.

"Oh God! He's so cute! How can he be so cute?"

"Can I hug you?" Eliza asks, completely ignoring his words.

"Didn't you hear me?!! Get out of here now!!" the boy yells angrily.

"I can't do that, I'm the one who will take care of you from now on," Eliza responds.

"I don't need anyone to take care of me, so go away and go back to that bastard before he kills you!"

"Do you think you can kill me?" Eliza asks, and Christopher freezes because he's not dumb and even though he can't see her, he feels the danger that emanates from that girl.

"Did that bastard send you to finally kill me?" the boy asks.

"Of course not!" Eliza is shocked, she would never be capable of hurting her beloved villain.

"Don't lie! You just killed those maids! It's obvious that you're a murderer and you're here to kill me!"

"But I'm not lying," Eliza says, approaching the boy and caressing his cheek, causing him to shudder. They are both the same height despite their two-year age difference.

"I'm here to protect you. It's true that I am a killer, but I haven't come to kill you. I came here to kill everyone who has hurt you or will try to do so in the future," Eliza says, caressing the boy's soft cheeks with a smile on her face, filled with excitement.

"She's dangerous!" the boy thinks.

"Ha! Is this the new strategy of that bastard? Sending someone like you to gain my trust and then kill me?" the boy says, swatting Eliza's hand away.

"Oh, you think that scum Marko sent me? You're wrong!! I also want to kill that bastard, and I will, but right now I can't because you and I would be screwed," Eliza says, not wiping the smile off her face, enchanted by Christopher.

"Give me a more believable excuse, I may be a child, but I'm not an idiot. You better leave and stay away from me, or I'll kill you at the first opportunity," the boy threatens as he turns to leave.

Eliza only smiles as she watches him go. "How cute, is he really blind?"

"It may be a little difficult, but in the end, I will earn your trust, Christopher... my beloved villain. Together, we will conquer this world..."

Slowly, she will gain Christopher's trust. For now, she will rid this house of the rats...

"I can't allow the rats to continue bothering my cute villain..."
