《The Demon’s Bride 》Chapter 597: Child’s Cry-II
Advertisement
Ernest turned his back when at the same time, Elise had pulled out the book from the rack near him. She then proceed to read the title of the book.
"Do you like to read books, milady?" Ernest made the small chat in between them and Elise nodded.
"It had always been my most favorite past time break. What is the book you are holding now?" Elise casually questioned while her eyes staring at the blue covered book.
"Actually this is the only children book in the library, do you want to read it?" Ernest offered the book, reaching out his hands and Elise's eyes took her time to look at the man's hand before taking the book to her hands, at the same time brushing her fingertips to the surface of Ernest's hand.
In her mind she whispered, 'Show me your deepest memory.'
When Elise opened her eyes again, she find herself in a very dark room. Her eyes tried to focus on what was around her, but it was difficult as there was in single shed of light that come into the room. Strangely, she could hear the two people talking from outside of the room. Rather than talking, Elise noted that they were arguing.
"IT WON'T WORK!" Screamed the man from the other side of the room. The voice was filled with deep anger, clearly disappointed and irritated.
"...adopted that child for nothing then," the woman answered in exchange. "I can't believe the ritual won't work. Did you did all that the dark sorcerer told you to do? We didn't miss a single thing? He promised it would work!"
"Let us see his development before continuing our discussion," said the man to the woman and the door was finally pushed open. Kindle of light came through the gap made by the door. It started as a line and grow rapidly, showing more light. Elise who had been in the dark was unprepared, causing her eyes to be blinded for a good one minute.

When the door was opened, she saw a beautiful couple standing in front of the doo but the expression they had wasn't what one would want to say beautiful. Instead, it was frightening. She looked around her when she noticed the couple's gaze wasn't directed to her and rather somewhere on her left side.
Turning her gaze there, she then found the small boy curled on the floor. His breathing was ragged and his complexion was red as if he was burning with fever. For certain seeing how he was trembling from shivers and his ragged breath that he was in a very bad shape. But a worse look come on his face when he noticed the couple coming closer into him.
Elise frowned at this. In the past she had been on the receiving end of a horrible treatment from the people she lived with. It didn't take one to be a genius to know that the boy was facing the same or even worse condition than her. The woman who saw the boy suddenly turned upset as if he had crawled under his skin when he hadn't done anything but trying to breath.
"Why? Why? Why?!" The woman yelled. She pulled her skirt, striding forward and kicked the little boy with the tip of her heels. Elise shuddered at this and quickly reached out his hand to stop the lady when the man had pulled his wife by his shoulders.
"It's useless. We can't kill him now," the man answered. "If he is still alive, we might find a way to redo the ritual again and the second time always do the magic."
The woman bit her lips, "When will you meet the dark sorcerer again? I thought he had left for a hiding."

"He left but I do know a method to find him and his place of hiding," answered the husband, "You can rest easy and we will soon find this ritual to a completion. I will make sure it would happen."
"Mama?" Another childish voice rang over from the corridor. Both the husband and wife was surprised to hear this.
The woman stared down at the smaller boy, "Don't you even try to cry. If you do there will be no food or the entire day to you!" And thus the couple left. As they were in a hurry, they had walked out the room without closing the door to a full close. The boy shivered and reached out his hand to the small line of light, hoping to touch the light as if to warm himself with it.
He had stared in a daze at the light when the door creaked open softly. The boy immediately pulled his hands across his chest. An expression of fear covered his face as he thought it was the couple who had came for him again. Instead, a small shadow overlay on the floor. A boy coming inside the room with a small frown between his brows.
In a low voice, the boy whispered, "Ernest?"
Outside Elise's reading of Ernest's deepest secret, Hell was in a shaking rage. The ground was unstable for a person to stand let alone walk. The residents of Hell could hear the howl, the anger and now it wasn't simply two demons fighting before the castle that was holed with each attacked that crushed the walls. Satan and Lady Caroline had taken another shape of themselves. With one being a large lioness and the other was a large bull with a body of a gorilla.
The fight was intense. The lioness bite the hand of the bull and the latter return her attack by ripping her away from him and throwing her across the ground. When the lioness grunted in pain, the bull had came toward the gate of his castle. Taking the iron gate's help, he had bent and used it to trap the lioness's head, stabbing her neck consequently. Lady Caroline who cannot maintain her shape any longer, manifested back to her human body.
Anger was on Satan's eyes as he took the human body. He looked down at Lady Caroline and uttered each word by word in a deep stress, "GIVE ME THE WINGS!"
