Russian Estate

[ElieCapulet30]

Back in Russia, Azreal had returned to his estate in the snow covered mountains. He was happy to return home however, he had a sour taste in his mouth after having not run into his niece or found nothing on Capulet family. However it also a relief him due to fact that met his master had done his job well. 

  Azreal stepped into his estate and looked around. To his surprise his maids and butlers had kept the place tidy and warm in his stead. He took off his boots as his butler Zero greeted him. "Welcome home Sir. I have gotten your room ready for you. A warm bath, tea and your fireplace are awaiting you. I will have dinner done post haste." He bowed taking Azreal's boots and coat. Azreal smirked at his butler. "Thank you." His tone of voice was cold and distance like normal but had a hint of sour-ness. As Azreal ascended the stairs his mind was so fixed on what happened at the convention that he seemed to zone out.

Once at the door to room, Azreal pulled open the majestic large wooden doors with sliver trim and designs to a beautiful room that was only fit for a man of royal taste. Mixtures of blues, greys, blacks, gold and sliver atone the room. ((As the picture is below)) Azreal stepped into the room, the plush carpet massaging his aching feet. He walked over to his bed and began to undress. The fabric of his black knight outfit draped off his body. His well tone and built body shimmered in the dim light. Dull scars atone his body as well. "I hope I get more answers shorty....." He said his voice sounding tired

Azreal could feel the cold air against his warm skin as he undress and walked to his private bathroom where the bath Zero drew him awaited.  

Once inside the smell of iris and sea salts filled the air. The tub was big enough to fit a family. Some could say it was size of small pool. Azreal stepped into the room his bare body slowly dipping into the warmth that greeted him. "This is just what I need to clear my mind. I must be going crazy thinking another Capulet survived. My master is all powerful so nothing could get past him." He said slowly calming down. The stress and worry slowly fading from his body as he began to relax.

OOC, mostly to other readers: Normally I would make a new profile for the character being introduced here, but due to her special circumstances, particularly connection to Elie’s characters, I’m going to hold off on that.  If she becomes a long term character, she may get one later.

The peace of Azreal’s bath was interrupted as red glowing circle appeared on the edge.  The demons of Zorn of course were quite familiar with this home and its occupant.   Zorn had made arrangements that made it easier for him and those who severed him to visit. Though for the sake of discreetness, they rarely visited and only with a reason.  It was usually much more convenient and safer to have Azreal come to them.  But they had a reason to visit now.

Several figures appeared in the circle, before it faded.  One was a human woman, middle-aged, but still healthy and beautiful.  She was on her knees.  Not injured, but showed some signs that two demons at her side, holding chains that bound her, had to be a little rough with her.  She silently looked around, trying to get a sense of her new location, when her eyes grew cold at the site of the man in the bath.  She feared this was what this was about.  And the real reason behind this.

But another woman’s voice spoke up first.  “Zorn does not like leaving lose ends, and he values your loyalty and service.”  From behind the human woman stepped a non-human.  “Recognize her?  She was a pain to find.  Her husband too, but cast a big of net over human dreams, I can often find what I need to.”  She continued, in addition to the two guards, the succubus Canata brought this woman.  “Had some fun with her husband, in his dreams.  He’s gone though.  My friends here took care of him as I gave him a pleasant final night.  But, we thought you might appreciate this one.  So we brought her here, instead of finishing her off.  Yours to do whatever you want with.”  She said smiling, indifferent to what happened.  She did not serve Zorn, but was willing to help, if she found it appealing and they were an enemy.  The man’s death was something Azreal would appreciate.  A brother that escaped his killing of most of his family.  Now his widowed sister-in-law was presented to him.

Azreal turned seeing the red glowing circle appear. He sighed about to rise his voice wanting a explanation on why these demons were in his estate  but then his eyes widen as a devilish smirk of delight came across his face. It was his sister in law, Elieon's mother. "I see my master is very good at cleaning up loose ends. So my brother is deceased you say? What a joy to know the prize that should have been mine all along is finally on her knees before me." Azreal growled looking at the women his crimson red eyes seemingly burning into her soul.

"Please tell my master I am very graceful to him. I will be at his beck and call. He just summon me." He said before looking at the women. "So my dear sweet Catherine, you belong to me now and just think once news hits your daughter....what's her name Elieon..... that her father and mother have ....ment a untimely end what will become of her." He said garbing a towel and stepping out of the tub wrapping it around his waist walking over to Catherine. Water dripping down his well toned body. He bend down gripping her chin looking her over.

Canata watched for moment, she had been looking forward to seeing how this went.  She would not stay especially long, but would see a little more.  She wanted to see how the woman reacted, get a sense of whether Azreal wanted to keep her or not.  There was some thrill there.  The woman’s life was in danger.  Could it be saved.  She did not know Azreal very well, but coming and going from Zorn’s castle they had met and interacted a little.  She found his attitude and style refreshing for a human.  “I’m sure you can handle her on your own.  But if you don’t plan to kill her immediately, me or my friends here can give you help, to put her in her in her new place.”  She mostly meant dragging the woman to whatever room he wanted to keep her, help secure it if he wanted, but it was a more open offer.  “We can give you two some privacy if you would prefer it too, I’ll pass the word along to Zorn after we leave, either way.”  She could see this going so many ways.  She found it entertaining.  She did not any of the sympathy she felt for her friend Emiri.  That was a special project.  Most of the time humans were an enemy, their main value being the pleasure she could get from them, like she had with Azreal’s brother in his final moments.

Catherine tried to ignore the demons around her.  They had not done much to her so far, just hurt her enough to chain her up.  Forced her watch her husband get killed in his sleep…while that bitch of a succubus had her way with him in his dreams.  Did she take her shape?  Use the confusion of dream to do it in her true form.  She did not know, and she did not want to know.  But it clear they had been gentler with her than they needed, to let this bastard do whatever he wanted to her.  Could he even be called human?  He was now responsible for the death of everyone in his family except herself and her daughter.  It was entirely possible he would kill her right now.

That was what she thought, but one of the things he said concerned her.  “You prize?”  She bitterly spit out.  He was not seeming to be talking only about this moment.  It almost sounded like he desired something worse.  If he was suggesting what she thought, death might be preferable, especially in her grief over her husband’s death.  Protecting her daughter was perhaps the one thing holding her back.  It sounded like he wanted to kill her or worse.  “You will never get her!”  She could not back up her words, in this circumstance, but a mother’s desire to protect her daughter was not always rational.

Azreal looked at Catherine and huffed. "You would have been mine. If it weren't for my brother and now he's dead. Never to return and you a widow. Now it's either you submit to me or we take a small little trip back to Japan and I have you be forced to watch your daughter be impaled on my cock as you slowly die." He smirked letting go of her chin with a bit of force. 

"Choose....it's either you or your daughter." He said standing up. "If my memory is correct Elie was close to both of you. She looked up to father and you. It will be delightful seeing her crumble under despair and bows to me." He laughed evily looking at Canata. 

"I want her in the spare room connected to mine. Tie her hands above her head and make sure she can't escape. I have many many plans for my Catherine. I will break her and she'll be a great bargaining chip in this neverending war."
