CHAPTER 11( Yui about to stab Cordelia's heart )

Scene: At night, at the Sakamaki manor. Cordelia in Yui's body sits with Richter.

Yui (Cordelia): Yes, that's right. Fufu..

Richter: Hahaha...

Yui (Cordelia): Fufufu...

Reiji: What have we here?

Yui (Cordelia): Ah...

Reiji: I heard that our uncle had a visitor... but I never imagined that visitor would be you.

Scene: In the foyer. Cordelia in Yui's body, Richter, and Reiji are gathered.

Yui (Cordelia): It's been a long time, Reiji.

If only you weren't so stiff, you would look just like Karl from when I first met him.

Reiji: Please do not needlessly invoke my father's name. I find it seriously offensive.

Yui (Cordelia): Fufufu... Don't be so standoffish. Come closer.

Reiji: It is apparent that scheming comes as naturally as breathing to you.

Yui (Cordelia): Reiji, must I explain? I want to stay vibrant as long as I live.

I will tell you what I despise most.

Boredom. Boredom is the most painful thing immortals like ourselves can endure. Wouldn't you agree?

Reiji: Yes, you have a point. Boredom doesn't suit you. Death suits you much better.

Yui (Cordelia): Fufu... I will take that as a compliment.

Won't you sit over here? I would like to talk face-to-face.

Reiji stays where he stands.

Yui (Cordelia): What's this? Are you being defensive?

Fufu... In that respect, you're exactly like Beatrix.You suppress your emotions and try to hide how you feel. She ultimately met a useless, pathetic end.

Reiji: Ngh...

Yui (Cordelia): Oh, my! Did I touch a nerve?

Beatrix didn't seem to love you as much as she loved Shuu, her eldest son, so I assumed you wouldn't mind if I slandered her.

Reiji: I see. So that is how you turned my father and his brother, my uncle, on one another.

Yui (Cordelia): Are you suggesting that I tore them apart? You make me sound like the root of all evil.

You could be right. I may be the reason Karl and Richter's once-friendly relationship deteriorated. Fufu...

Reiji: Their bond couldn't have been that strong if it could be ruined by a woman like you.

Yui (Cordelia): Fufufu... You are remarkably observant for a son of Beatrix.

I like you even more.

Cordelia in Yui's body walks over to Reiji. She pulls Reiji closer.

Yui (Cordelia): Fufufu... Your eyes... look just like Karl's.

Cordelia in Yui's body tosses Reiji's glasses aside.

Yui (Cordelia): I will let you in on my secret out of respect for your eyes.

I came back to life... in order to take revenge on Karl. I will make him pay with his death.

Reiji: Revenge for not loving you?

Yui (Cordelia): It appears you don't understand men and women yet.

My desire to kill him is the greatest proof of my love.

Reiji: In other words, you want to push your love upon him whether he wants it or not?

Yui (Cordelia): Mm... You certainly are fond of speaking out of turn.

I think I will silence that mouth of yours.

Cordelia in Yui's body kisses Reiji.

Yui (Cordelia): Fufufu...

Reiji: Please don't toy with me.

Yui (Cordelia): I am interested in you as a man.

Reiji: And what of my uncle?

Yui (Cordelia): He doesn't object to whatever I choose to do.Now, let's continue. We have all the time in the world.Now, come.

Reiji: Hmph. I think I'll pass. I am simply not attracted to corrupt women of loose morals.

Yui (Cordelia): Ngh...

Cordelia in Yui's body slaps Reiji.

Reiji: Ngh...

Laito: Come on, let's stop this fighting. We're family.

Yui (Cordelia): Laito.

Laito: I thought that the next time I saw you would be in hell.

Yui (Cordelia): I'm sorry I didn't live up to your expectations.

Laito: No, this is better than I expected. Fufu...

Kanato approaches with Laito.

Yui (Cordelia): My little songbird, please do entertain Mommy with your beautiful singing voice like you used to.

Kanato: Mother, but how?

Subaru: Oh, be quiet. Neither of you belong here.

Get lost.

Subaru approaches from behind Laito and Kanato.

Richter: You put on a good show, Subaru... despite your inability to protect your own mother.

Subaru: Ngh...!

Shut up!

Subaru jumps onto the rail of the balcony and moves to punch Richter, but Richter takes Subaru's fist and twists his arm. Subaru moves to kick Richter, but Richter moves out of the way.

Richter: None of you can hope to rival me.

Reiji walks away from Richter and Cordelia in Yui's body.

Shuu: Hahaha... Are you sure about that?

Richter: What?

Shuu: You're the one who's putting on a show.

Richter: Shuu, what are you trying to say?

Shuu: Ngh...

Shuu gets up from the sofa.

Shuu: To Karlheinz, the head of the family, you don't even register as a rival.

Richter: Tsk...!

Yui (Cordelia): Is this the best entertainment you can provide? You people are as dull as ever.

The worst thing about this is that you all prevent me from being my vibrant self.

Dispose of them. Immediately.

Cordelia in Yui's body holds out the silver knife for Richter.

Richter: Why, this is Subaru's silver knife.

I believe that one stab through the heart with this is all it would take.

Yui (Cordelia): Yes. They would disintegrate instantly, without pain.

That shows how much I love them.

Now, dispose of them, and I will make you the next head of the family.

Richter: Do you swear to make me the next head of the family if I kill them?

Yui (Cordelia): Yes.

Richter: That's strange.

Yui (Cordelia): Ah... Ahh...

Richter: Wasn't that already one of the terms of our agreement when I saved you as you lay dying?

You swore that if I saved your life, you would put me on the throne.

Yui (Cordelia): Richter, I will do anything you desire. Now hurry up and dispose of these boys. Do it for me.

Richter: You are a fool.You are useless to me in your less-than-pristine condition. All I need is your heart.As long as I awaken the girl who has your heart and make her mine, I can become the next head of the family without your assistance.

Yui (Cordelia): Ngh... Did you plan this from the moment I entrusted you with my heart?

Richter: Did you only just realize that?

It is not you who are using me. It is I who am using you.

Richter takes Yui's body's hand.

Yui (Cordelia): Ngh... Ah...

Richter prepares to bite Yui's body's neck.

Ayato: Hey!Would the both of you just shut the hell up?She belongs to me. Don't touch her without my say-so!

Richter draws a sword and points it at Ayato.

Richter: Do not interfere!

Richter attacks Ayato. Ayato jumps back, but the tie to his uniform is cut.

Ayato: Ngh... Why, you...

Laito: Hey, Ayato!

Laito tosses a sword to Ayato.

Ayato: Your free ride is over. I'll make you regret coming here!

Richter: Heh... And what do you think you can do about it?

Ayato and Richter duel. Ayato is backed up against the wall.

Ayato: Tsk... Ah...!

Richter's sword pierces through Ayato's shoulder.

Ayato: Tsk...

Richter: Ha...

Richter withdraws his sword. Ayato falls to his knees.

Ayato: Ngh...

Richter raises his sword.

Richter: Now, stay still.

Ayato: Ngh...

Yui: Ayato...

Ayato: Ah...

Yui: I...

Richter: Ah...!

Yui: Ngh...!

Yui breaks away from Richter and runs downstairs.

Ayato: Ah...

Yui holds the silver knife and aims it at herself.

Ayato: Ah...!

Brothers: Ah...!

Subaru: Ah...!

Richter: Ngh...!

Yui: Now no one will get hurt.

Yui plunges the knife into her chest. She falls backward, and Ayato catches her.

Richter: The heart is mine!

Ayato: Tsk!

As Richter moves to attack Ayato, Ayato turns around and stabs him with his sword.

Richter: Ahh...

Ayato withdraws his sword, and Richter collapses.

Ayato: Hey! Open your eyes!

Cordelia reawakens in Yui's body.

Yui (Cordelia): Fufufu... Only a foolish girl would stab herself. What a joke.

Ayato: Ngh...!

Yui (Cordelia): Her death and awakening are only a matter of time.

Ayato: Ah...

Yui (Cordelia): And then, both her body and soul will be all mine.
