Chapter 556: Anger Knows No Bound-III

Mila seemed to stare at her younger self for a while in silence while she was playing on the field. Elise reckon this was her first week living in White Mansion. At the time, Mila was still a maid and hadn't raised rank but because she was one of the only few humans who lives in the White Mansion, Ian had assigned her to take care of him.

"The girl again?" Helen, the maid who had befriended Mila since she first work in the castle asked. "It's strange isn't it? Other than her bright red hair, I can't understand why the Lord pity and take her in the castle. She seemed to be still ver young."

"I don't understand it too," Mila said and in whisper, she murmured, "He is a demon without heart."

"What did you say?" Helen questioned as she catch Mila's lips moved but heard no words.

"I was wondering if the Lord had find a humane heart. This isn't something he would do," Mila answered. Her questioning method was light that Helen didn't notice anything out of place.

The woman hummed, "I agree but you know what people says."

Mila's eyes were still on the window while Helen had moved behind her, mopping the floor, "Say what?" She asked.

"That people changes," Helen lightly answer but she didn't know the effect of her reply would cause Mila to be stunned as if she had never heard it before and was shocked to know there was a chance for Ian to walk on the better path.

When nightfall, Elise saw Mila leaving the castle from her room. The woman had casted a magic that had her to teleport from White Mansion without anyone noticing. Elise had noted this earlier and she would note it again.

For some odd reason, Mila who was a human posses so much power even at this point where she should have still been a human.

The answer lies on where Mila had teleported at. When they came, Elise's eyes opened to see the night sky before her eyes trying to find the location of where Mila's destination lies at as she couldn't see anything.

Elise finally adjusted her eyes in the darkness, seeing it was an old abandoned church where half of the building had been ruined. Mila continued to walk inside the church as if she didn't see the building had caved in.

Following from behind, Mila entered the confession box. Being cautious and wanting answer, Elise had quickly reached out her hand to enter the priest's side only to frown as she found no one.

"How has it been?" Asked the person who wasn't here and Elise was confused how could the person's voice appear when his body wasn't at the place in this moment.

"The Lord had bring up a child to the castle," answered Mila and Elise who had entered Mila's compartment as she couldn't find anyone she was talking to, saw how Mila's kind face had dropped. Come was there expression of anger and hatred. The anger was so raw.

"Is the Lord acquiring a human's heart, your highness?" Mila questioned and when the words sinking to her mind, her hands clenched together. "I can't allow that. Not when he killed my family and now he acquiring a human's heart. It is not fair."

"Mila," said the person. Elise could tell the man had used another voice which wasn't his as although from the voice it sounded like an old man's there was something off about this person voice that make her doubt it his real voice.

"You shall't worry. The Demon is still a Demon. He doesn't have heart and even when he is learning to have heart, he won't succeed," said the man and Elise's eyes narrowed.

In the past, Elise couldn't understand Ian's action of choking a person's neck before managing to interrogate the man but now, she felt the necessity in slamming the person's back to the wall and warn him for his words that poisoned Mila.

"What about the girl?" Mila asked, "She seemed a human, nothing special. But yet he took her in and I can't find anything that would benefit him by bringing her to the White Mansion," whispered Mila? "Is this his good act? Finally after all those years? But it is too late. He had killed my family! They are not going to come back now and if he wanted to spare a life, he should have done that before he destroyed my village!"

"He doesn't do this because he wanted to do kindness, Mila. There had been a saying that the girl who has red hair. One day she would become the Queen of Hell who ruled the three realms. We all know that Ian had only wanted power. He is greedy."

"And he wanted to use that girl to achieve his mission?" Mila completed the thought. In just a heartbeat, Mila immediately trusted the man's words. Elise questioned who this man could be and when she thought of how she won't be able to find anything through Mila's memories, she balled her palm into a fist. Anger now coursed like wild fire all over her body.

"We have to use the girl in order to get him," the man spoke again, "The way is in your hand, dear Mila. Only you can help me achieve this."

"But the girl don't have sin," Mila responded. Remembering Elise's face; Elise who was on her side could see the woman's reluctance.

But the reluctance slowly disappeared when the man says, "No dear, she has all the sins of this world. That girl. She is the granddaughter of Satan. A demon just like Ian who you wish to kill. Killing her will protect this world from upcoming danger as well."

"That small girl?"

"Not now but certainly yes in the future. Remember, Mila, she had been prophesied to become the Queen of Hell. Once she rules the three realms, do you think she would rule it with kindness? No my dear, she will rule with fear," said the man who spoke as if he knew anything.

If the Dark Sorcerer Lord was him, now Elise knew why this man had been the most dangerous enemy they have faced. Because this person had prepared anything from years ago when she was still young and possibilities even long before that.

Mila didn't surprise Elise any longer when she says, "How do I use her? By gaining her trust?"

"That is one of it but you shouldn't act now. Soon that girl will leave the White Mansion and I want you to take my plan into action when she came back to the White Mansion for the second time," said the man.

Elise stared at the other side of the confession box with awe.

She wasn't wrong.

This man truly knows everything and had been prepared for anything including to kill Ian.
