Chapter 456: Killing Noisy Dove-I

"I don't know," answered Esther with all honesty, "But I do trust that the person want you for different reason and it is to destroy hell. The Angel had been plotting under everyone's nose in the most sneakiest way that one cannot know what he had done, maybe he is the one you spoke of, the possibility is high."

"Heaven is filled with Demons too see," Ian said with a hum of his lips.

Elise didn't know what to think. She grew up with the thought that Heaven is place free from sins but it appears now even the cleanest place on the three realm still held people who could cause and wish for destruction— a plan which was the opposite of what Heaven taught to others.

"Beel," Ian then called and Elise snapped her eyes to look at the blonde-haired demon who nodded. He brought both hands to his pocket, leisurely coming toward the cell when Elise had taken a step back and away from it.

"Now, dear Esther, come here," Beelzebub called and the sweeter he had used his voice, the more wary Esther became, "You are thinking what is this madman is about to do, right? Well I will save you time of searching for away to escape from what I am about to do because the time you locked eyes with me, you have lost." Beelzebub's voice turn soft to whisper by the end of his words.

Elise who was behind the demon saw how Esther whose eyes locked as Beelzebub as he spoke the slowly loses its light. She was staring at Beelzebub but the spark of hatred and anger was gone, showing an empty look as if she had been enchanted or she had stepped into another invisible space.

Beelzebub then turned his head to Ian with a raise of his eyebrows. Ian who knew it was a cure then spoke from behind, "Ask her if there is anything she is hiding and what is her aim."

"You heard him," Beelzebub directed his words to Esther, raising his eyebrows as he spoke, "Tell me the answer to the question Esther."

Elise didn't know what Beelzebub was doing but from what she had witness, she could see the magic that Beelzebub had used compelled Esther to say only but the truth. Seeing that Ian had asked Beelzebub to do this it spoke volumes of how impressive this magic was.

Her eyes then saw how Esther who seemed to be looking somewhere afar but in the cell and neither Beelzebub who she had been staring open her pursed lips, "No lies were on the words I have said but there is one thing that I am hiding. I want revenge."

"To whom?" whispered Beelzebub, his eyes trained on Esther where the latter then drew her brows together, her fingernail on the ground scratches the cemented floor as anger strike her eyes, "To the Demons who owe me my life. Gabriel promised to find me those demons."

Ian tapped his arm that was crossed, "It's a personal grudge," he then turned to look at Elsie who was silent because she was trying to organize what she had just take in and the information that was running in her mind, "What do you want to do to her now, Elise?" Ian asked, waiting for her choice.

Elise pulled her eyes to meet him, finding that Ian was asking for her wish so she won't make any regrets. All her memories have been tampered, locked, and all happened not by her choice and now Ian wanted her to take the hammer of judgement to her, giving her the right to choose what she want to do.

"I can do anything?" Elise asked him. She was responded by his lips that thinned and stretched wider from both sides, his eyes crinkling with sparkles that only showed to him despite the depth of the color and the darkness it held.

"All that you wish," said Ian to her, "Kill her, save her, or torture her. If you don't know how I can help you then we can go to our next agenda of finding out which method to hide her body."

Elise nodded her head, then turning to look at Esther who was on the ground, she said to Beelzebub, "Please break the magic."

"With the magic if you kill her, you won't feel haunted by guilt, lass," Beelzebub said and he thought it was a pity for Esther to die but then he cannot afford to lose everything to save Esther either when he had his own goal too which only achieved by a quarter.

"No, I want to see her, whether it is pain or tears, I will choose what to do with her awake," Elise said, determined. When Beelzebub met the woman's eyes, he noticed how earlier he was still a higher ranking demon compared to Elise but now, the gaze that Elise had and her presence had grown so much that it was on par with Ian who was a higher ranking Demon than him.

Beelzebub wordlessly snapped his finger and Esther snapped back from her daze. Elise looked at the woman's eyes and Esther who noticed the clear eyes of Elise that won't deter with anything appeared as if she had made her mind in killing her. "Do you have anything left to say?" Elise asked, her voice was still gentle but firm and strong.

Esther's smile had fallen, "You are not going to kill me, are you? I am not your threat." and while the woman expected Elise was swayed by her words, she didn't change her mind, the same expression on her face continue to prevail, "You are not a Demon, Elise! What you are doing now is killing the innocent."

"But are you truly innocent?" Elise questioned the woman, causing the latter to be at lost of words as they both know Esther wasn't completely blood-free, "Don't move," Elise said, her blue eyes turning brighter as the drop of golden spread over her blue eyes. "I don't think you would like it if I change my mind and do worse thing to you."

The night had inked the sky with the color of black. Lucifer who had left Ian's house held a wide smile on his lips as he pressed his feet on the head of the person who he had been stepping on, "Said it again, who was it that ordered you? Which Angel?"
