Chapter 18.

Make it clear.

When he hates him this wretched bird who allows himself to laugh in his face as well, but Naberius does not want a break in the alliance that he has so defended, so and calmly tells him:

"I beg the kind priest to leave the entrance to the mansion of Lord Sullivan, one of the big three."

And that instead:

"Quiet blue horns, I'm leaving immediately after meeting the priestess, who I obviously warned."

And he is thinking: "H-horns blue ?!" And he tries to keep calm again, this round, placing the shopping bags in a corner but then, Annabel shows up coming out of the main gate, followed by Opera who already knew everything. She is wearing her usual priestess dress.

"Oh there you are and I introduce myself. I am Kerefet, priest of grade eight, I am an archaeologist but in this case I am also looking after the priestess Annabel. My job is to see her trust in us."

The two demons are left there, he really said everything and also his mission.

Kalego thought: "What kind of fool is this? And is he really eighth grade?"

Annabel before her bows with her arms crossed over her chest and then she tells him:

"I am happy to meet you again and I am also honored to have you as my inspector."

Naberius stays there, because that scene reminds him so much of him with Principal Sullivan, and it's a really weird thing and it's like looking in the mirror.

But that doesn't mean he has to take a liking to that damned bird.

Kerefet approaching her, to take her hands and says:

"How nice, yes! But then did you think about that invitation to dinner?"

The demon cannot believe his ears! He is shamelessly trying!

And so he gnaws with jealousy, where he clenches his fists and even his teeth, something that does not escape the feline who tells him curiously: "Kalego what is it?"

Meanwhile, the bracelets of the infernal bond tighten even more, in an annoying grip where the poor woman must contain the tears for the too much pain it causes her and luckily she has managed to cover them.

Kalego: "The damned impertinent is touching her and in her condition it's bad!"

Hw takes it as a moment of his usual paranoia about her, not understanding instead that he is dying of jealousy and cannot do anything.

"There are no problems, now I'll take care of it."

So he approaches and with his serious attitude he says:

"Please do not touch Miss Annabel, as she is not in the best condition anyway. Besides, you are in Lord Sullivan's territory and where therefore you have broken the rules of the alliance."

The other turns around, releases her and then gesticulating he responds, Annabel instead is ashamed, because she did not want her vulnerable state to come out in this way.

"Oh seriously? This then...." And while he looks at her and she:

"Eeee yes I'm sorry, but I can't face such an important test ... I'm in my period ..."

"I understand ... and I know what you're talking about."

Kalego thinks: "So she's here for a test? The little sisters start not trusting her anymore ... I knew the old man's decision would get us in trouble again!"

Kerefet: "Okay, it will mean that it will happen when you get better, so when?"

"In three weeks ..."

"Ooo, a bit of a lot but that's okay, take back the priestess and grab Horus's hand for help."

Then addressed to the two demons.

"I apologize and take away the trouble. So it opens its long wings and takes off, where Kalego feels a certain satisfaction for the cat who beat him and was screwed.

But then he comes back saying:

"Ah, do you know what Annabel means? She who she learns quickly! But her full name is Annabella. What does lovable mean, isn't it fantastic! Greetings again my allies!"

They stayed there and then Kalego with a question mark face: "Annabella?"

Her: "Eehehe yes .. but I don't like it, I call myself Annabel and only my father calls me that way and I hate him ..." She visibly responds uncomfortably.

Opera: "Well, now that even this thing has been resolved, go back to bringing well-being to your mistress."

Obviously addressed to the other who stands up and then agrees with a bow.

And lunch time arrives and Annabel:

"Kalego, I want you to have lunch with me here on this table."

He who the first of her stares at her while she is putting down the plates with elegance and then replies:

"If I do, I'm going against bon ton." Because he is someone who follows the rules in a fiscal way and allows himself some oversights only rarely or when they turn him around.

"Do you know when I care? Kalego ... it's an order."

And she knew it was going to happen, a takeover and he just replies:

"As my mistress wishes." With a bow.

In reality it doesn't really make him sick to eat with her, in the end he doesn't have to do it on that humble little table of the servants, but what bothers him is her crude way of taking the cutlery and she and noticing him while he is eating a some salad dressed with who knows what strange insects, as one of those nobles he saw on TV tells him:

"I know very well that I'm eating like a bitch .. and so you can't stand me and I also know very well that after this story about the personal waiter is over you will want to avenge yourself in some way, isn't that so Naberius?"

"So you fear me?" Without taking your eyes off the plate.

"Aaaaf more than anything else I apologize to you first, that I gave you an order, as maybe in the next few days ... it is not from me and I am not used to it and then the temple has educated me that it is we who have to do the house services and other ... this is not a way to avoid them, but I just wanted to tell you ... I am uncomfortable in this role and a revenge is not an infamous thing? "

And he only replies:

"I am a demon what does my mistress expect?"

"Just your company without forcing yourself."

He then looks up and

"I don't want to give you any more orders, so without me telling you, can you come and have lunch and dinner here with me?"

He who raises his eyebrow, because he did not expect this speech, on the contrary he expected her to give orders to the right and to the left like a maddened harpy without discounts.

Klaego: "Of course, as you wish." And he says it in an almost sweet voice to the woman's ears. After all, he found her mistress well, too honest and good so why not take advantage of the situation and find yourself in the rear like any other servant.

She just a little smile.

Evening, dinner not a word from the two and then after he has cleared and washed the dishes, he goes back to the room, where he notices the woman who is about to put on her usual shirt, clean and he first thinks:

"No, don't try, not again!" And then he tells her:

"My mistress should wear these."

So he has in his hands a trousers and a long dark shirt and she:

"But what? Did you buy me some new clothes? Why? I already have these that fit me just fine and besides they aren't torn."

Kalego as he measures the shirt on her shoulders answers her, even if she has asked him too many annoying questions:

"A change is always polite, especially if you are a guest in Lord Sullivan's house."

"Ah ... ok, okay then I'll try them on .. but I'll put on my pajamas afterwards."

He just grimaced and actually told her a lie, as he couldn't stand seeing her in the same clothes as her anymore.

"But the measurements did you take from the clothes you sent to wash?"

He calmly and while he measures his pants too.

"Of course." And she turns red with shame.

"Does my mistress have problems? I can remember that I am your personal valet and therefore I have to take care of such matters as well."

"Yes ok, but next time you can also talk to me first and then maybe act, what do you think?"

He first stares at her and then:

"Of course, my mistress is always right."

So once they are worn, comfortable trousers in a different color from hers, the long and not very tight shirt where he lets you see the dark colored shapes too, where he says to him:

"I don't know, I'm not ..."

He hand on her chin and then comes over to fix the shirt and finally made her put on something decent and that she appreciates.

"You are presentable."

"Eh? What do you mean sorry? Not okay?"

"In the sense that it's okay."

"Ok."

Next Kalego is tidying up the sheets on the bed and wants to ask questions about the test with that cursed priest but he cannot, because it is rude to do them without her permission but luckily for him she is the one who starts talking:

"The priest's test consists in holding a weapon called Kopesh-simush ... the fact that it is a symbiote that needs a lot of my body energy to be used ... what I don't have now ... and it is done just to see if the priestess has lost or not her faith in what she is doing ... but the problem is that the older those weapons are, the more energy they steal to function and this worries me a lot ... where will I be able to use it I'll have to clash with him, in short he is like a lie detector. If I use it well, the trust will remain, but if the opposite happens, they will take measures that are not light at all. "

Kalego: "Are they afraid you're cheating on them? Isn't that right?"

"Unfortunately it is so ... Zeret (the jackal priestess) had warned me about alleged rumors that some have doubts about what I am doing with you .. not to mention those concerning the fact that I am in this house and not with them under the pyramid. "

She tells her as she sits on the freshly made bed disheartened and Kalego:

"Why did you tell me?"

"Because you are the only one I can talk to now, as in the history of bracelets ... with Opera I am ashamed as for the headmaster ... Iruma is a little boy ...."

He just makes her continue, since she has understood that it is an outlet and in fact resumes saying:

"These have gripped my wrists so much today, that I still have them purple ... because even now they are doing it ...." She turns to him while showing her hands which are in fact almost purple, with a pleading face: "Please, you can do something to calm them down, I can't take it anymore ... please Kalego, you who are of high rank for sure have a solution, like last night with the other pain .... "

And it's the first time she hears it from her mouth, a plea from her touching his demon heart and selling her in that state, he thinks of two options. The first of her where he lets her suffer like a dog by telling her that he can't do anything, enjoying these moments and the second of her, helping her by alleviating her pain, perhaps with a magic done in secret; but then she might lose her hands. A nuisance since it will be an additional problem. And he is more determined for the first one, but then something catches his attention of him, on the bracelets he notices that something is appearing, perhaps a name where he reads and stays there. His name and surname have just appeared in purple characters and this leaves him stunned! In the end, he is the one who is making her suffer and it is always he who has her obsession with her! And now it's all clear to him, his deep feeling has been transformed into reality in those objects. So there has never been another suitor and now he is wondering how many times she has made her suffer with his jealousy.

Then he too sits down on her bed and says to her:

"I try, even if it will be useless."

So he touches her wrists and soon after, the grip loosens and she:

"Ooo they finally calmed down, thanks ... they've been holding me since this morning, thank you very much!"

He did not use anything, only the touch, this confirms what he has read about it and that is that only those who put them can tame him only by being near or touching them.

She still: "When I have regained my strength, the first thing I will do is look for the damned culprit! I'll put some of my blood of fire on the bracelets and tell them to look for him!" She says and as she clenches her fists.

Kalego who for a second remained:

"Do you want to force them? You can't, they will kill you first."

"So I prefer death than having to go through life as the slave of someone obsessed and possessed with me! I read Lilith's red carpet ... and I don't want to end up like poor doormat demons, just to get the his love or affection where he mentally subdued them, I'm more or less in that situation and no, I don't want to end up that way! I want my freedom back! "

Kalego stayed again, he read the book where he sums up that feeling in that world and he really finds it a step forward and now he understands what the priest meant by his name.

Annabel which means she who learns fast! And that's what she just witnessed, all these days, while he was in school, she just inquired and who knows what other topic she read.

"And if it works out and you find it, what will you do to it?"

She who maliciously activates her green eyes replies:

"I will make him hear the notes of my Anubian flute, where I will make him feel the same sensation and even more, so that he will no longer want to make me suffer!"

A shiver shakes Kalego's body, but not out of fear but because he excited him!

The Anubian flute, an absolute legend, calls her souls in person what an honor to hear that it is in her hands and above all, that it really exists!

Then he decides to make his move and that is, he grabs her wrists, where she does not understand why and then, he kisses her, kisses her so passionately and lastingly that the priestess feels himself shaking inside and then, when she finishes and walks away gently tells her:

"A kiss is worth more than words ... as in that book, now priestess is that clear to you?"

She just shocked, Kalego who kissed her! Now that's the end of the world!

"What ... I ... well ... I don't."

Then he kisses her more intensely again, touching her face with his fingers, making her feel what he really feels about her towards her and her, he just gets carried away and then when he is done:

"Is that clearer to you now?" Still with an impassive face and while he also arranges his hair; a sign that he is also nervous, since he was amazed by himself for that act.

Her: "You? Did you put them on me?"

Him: "Mph ..."

Her: "You're a damned! You've been close to me all this time, did you see that I was suffering and you didn't do anything ?!"

He who keeps calm:

"I recently discovered it too, because my name appeared ... before I was thinking of someone else."

She then looks at her bracelets, where she now sees it too, her name imprinted on her and says:

"You ... are lying ... you also knew it from the start ... you did it out of pure revenge!"

"Think of it as you want, but while I was kissing you you didn't object."

She who thinks about it for a second with a bean face and where in fact is the truth and Kalego:

"So it means that not only the only one here to feel something." He says her again with a hint of a half smile.

Then she turns red in the face with embarrassment and replies:

"So did you send all those gifts? Like when you filled yourself with perfume and dressed up even more at school?"

"Tze! You got there and finally!" Thinking she too that in the end she had noticed everything but she pretended nothing happened.

Her: "But ... but ... I thought you were courting Professor Momonoki?"

Kalego: "Eeeeeh? What are you going to think? She's just a good colleague!"

"But if she drools after you from morning to night!"

"I know very well, but I'm not interested in her since she is too clumsy and fearful and above all, she lets herself be manipulated too easily and is not up to being close to me!"

"Oh yes, sure! And what about me? You always disgusted me, looked down on me, called rough, bifolca, mongrel, foolish and other various insults and you always told me that I am as short as a garden gnome and that I look like to an ogre of the mountains and then how? Am I at your height ?! How do you have feelings towards me ?! Explain it to me! She is much prettier than me and above all she is a demon! "

His arms crossed and his head turned away and luckily for him the room is soundproofed, because at that point the whole family would have shown up.

"I once read about a book: the heart of a demon cannot be controlled and obsession is blind ... ."

And she:

"You know it can't work ... it's wrong, free me!"

Him: "I've read about it that they won't take off, there have been no cases where they took off by themselves ... but only cases where they kept them for life and as the headmaster said, not even magic can do anything."

"I don't want to be your slave, I refuse... ."

Him: "Mpf."

Then you conclude with:

"Ah, that's it then ... I want to be alone, leave me alone!" And with this she curls up on the other side of the bed and he gets up and goes back to her room, closing the door and saying in a low voice:

"You will not end up like Lilith's men ... I promise you."

Because he knows very well what that means; since he has sometimes even tried on her skin, but luckily he has managed to get out of that circle that keeps the demons locked for life, while they corrode in their illusion.

So the next morning, Kalego wakes up with an annoying itch on his left wrist and when he finds it he notices something that shakes him, he has just formed a black infernal bracelet with the name of the priestess engraved on it in green characters and exclaims:

" What the hell?!"

Meanwhile, the disease is taking a turn for the worse outside the house.
