《The Demon’s Bride 》Chapter 583: Underground, Overground-III
Advertisement
Leviathan nodded at once as she did and he whispered in a low tone as the servant left to check on the lady who hadn't arrived yet to make notice of their arrival, "It is alright. If anything goes south we still have Beel to accompany him. You can rest easy."
But the matter was Elise wasn't quite sure how to describe the relationship between Hallow and Beelzebub. They often fight and disagree with each other but she knew that they were both adult, despite Hallow's immature appearance, and they would be able to keep their behavior during such critical time.
"Everyone and everyone. Again and again. It appears that all the warnings I have stressed is looked down upon by them all. Perhaps this one day I should put their head right on the top of this castle for their warning!" Yelled the loud voice which echoed from the corridor.
By the voice it was a woman's and by their current situation, the person who had yelled must none other be Lady Caroline. Elise wasn't sure what to feel to know that the first few minutes before she could even meet the woman, the latter was in a terrible mood that sounded as if she would kill a person at this future seconds.
From the corner of her eyes, on the end of the corridor from which she could see, Elise saw a large shadow casting over the walls when the other person passed by the torches. The shadow was so large that it covered the corridor which was already tall and wide in Elise's eyes. She also noticed that while the image of an underground was often accompanied by how narrow and stifling it was, the underground below the castle was extremely wide and vast.
The ceiling which hover on the top of her head was impossible to touch, almost like how one sees a sky. And yet, when Lady Caroline stepped out from the end of the corridor and appeared on her sight, the woman's hat which she wore to adorn her head had touched the ceiling. Her body was taller than all the demons she had seen, even defeating the lion who was the tallest that she could remember. When the lady stopped in front of her, she felt like a small rabbit.

"And look who it is," the woman clapped her her hand when her bright red eyes laid on Elise after seeing Leviathan who stood beside her. "A beautiful one had come now. Come closer, child."
Elise turned to see her father who nodded and took the few steps on the stone pathway toward the lady. When lady Caroline bent her body forward, Elise held back her eyes against the woman.
"Hm," the woman put a silent melody between her red lips. She reached out her hand and touched Elise's cheeks, lifting up her face before looking at all features of Elise's face without missing a single spot. "You look only a tiny bit similar to your father. Must have acquired your hair color from your mother?"
Elise smiled in response, "yes," and Lady Caroline retracted her hand to the side.
"Come in, Elise was your name?" When Elise nod her head once, Lady Caroline then turned her face to look at Leviathan and shook his head, "No, no, stay there or maybe on the court with your noisy father."
Leviathan frowned at this but was still polite due to their good relationship, "Elise is still new in the underground."
"Please dearie," Lady Caroline rolled her eyes. "Does she look like a baby to you? She can do what she want and have a proper handle to herself to decide what is wrong or bad. Don't worry I won't get angered even if she were to make a mistake."
Leviathan sighed, "Is there a reason why I cannot accompany her?"
"Not a reason that I dislike your presence but it is just the fact that there was a rule made in the underground, a new one which wasn't made a long time ago where it stated that a single person can only visit the underground once a week when I allowed them to. You came no less than half an hour ago which mean you now must wait until the week end to come inside again," smiled the Lady who behaved as if she knew this would have happened.

"I will be fine," Elise answered to pacify her father's worry. "There is also something that I wish to discuss with you Lady Caroline."
"Fine attitude. Strong and decisive making, you are a girl whom I can see to become the new reigning Queen. It will be a pleasure to be acquainted to you, your highness. Let's not stand on the ceremony and come to the underground. My own castle if I may be bolder," Lady Caroline reached out her hand to the corridor.
Elise unhesitatingly made her steps to enter the corridor, meeting her father's eyes who were worried as the door closed. She followed Lady Caroline's footsteps as the woman spoke, "How close are you to your mother, sweetheart?"
Elise didn't see what happened to her family as a secret and answered, "She died before I could remember her well." And also because her memories had been erased but with how dangerous her memory was to her, she didn't blame her father for his action for she knew how concerned he was to her.
"A shame," hummed the woman, "and here I wanted to hear what kind of amazing woman who could endure to marry a rock. Your grandmother was quite a mystery as well to me seeing how she decided to love such an unmoving boulder who are not only stiff, rigid, but also wrathful."
Was the people Lady Caroline mentioned was her father and grandfather? She doesn't seem to be scared of her grandfather and perhaps it was the privilege as his old friend, thought Elise.
"How do you describe my grandmother, Lady Caroline?" Elise asked, her eyes trained at the woman to read all the emotions on the woman's red eyes.
"She was fragile and weak I would say bluntly but also kind. But you know how kindness can never be said in single sentence with demons. Eventually she died and maybe most of us had expected it which why it wasn't a surprise."
"Eventually?" Elise questioned.
"Your grandmother has many who envies her but also many who admires her but do you know what could envy and admire brought at the same time?" Lady Caroline questioned and Elise took a time before shaking her head. "It's jealousy. Come and take a seat. I will tell you what I know about your grandmother and the angels she once lived with. Not everything is a good story to listen to but then have truth ever been easy to hear?"
