Ellis Twilight Main Story: Chapter 0
Tumblr media
This is a fan-made translation solely for entertainment purposes with no guaranteed perfection. I do not own any of the original content. Please support CYBIRD by buying their stories and playing their games. Reblogs appreciated.
❥・• Warnings and FAQ
Ellis: That’s all Jude told me to report.
Victor: Thank you, you’ve done well for this mission. … Looks like things got rather rough tonight.
Ellis: Huh? Oh…
I looked down at my bloodied shirt and understood the reason for Victor’s wry smile.
Tonight’s mission indeed took longer to complete than expected.
Ellis: I was aiming for the heart, but their flesh was thicker than I thought, so my knife didn't go very deep.
Ellis: I felt sorry for them because I couldn’t make them die an instant death.
Victor: And as always, you continued with your mission calmly, but… have you ever had a hard time completing missions?
(Have I…)
The members of “Crown”, the imperial organisation under direct command of Her Majesty the Queen, took missions ranging from gathering information to assassinations.
Not long after I joined them, did I realise that some of us weren't entirely indifferent to taking the lives of others.
If anything, I thought it was normal to feel that way.
(But…)
Ellis: Not particularly.
Victor: … That’s great then. Could you also convey my thanks to Jude on my behalf?
Ellis: Mm, got it.
Picking flowers, putting them together in a bouquet, and displaying them in a shop.
Polishing dirty shoes with cream and a brush.
To me, my job being to kill people felt no different from those regular jobs.
As long as it didn't involve my personal desires, I never hesitated to kill.
(If ever I hesitate to kill someone—)
(It’ll definitely be because I want to kill them.)
(It'll be when I harbour such selfish thoughts.)
In order to avoid that — I put a tightly sealed lid over my desires.
Never again… will I turn the happiness of someone I love into a fake.
Little Boy: Waaahh…!
Tumblr media
Ellis: …!
No matter how bloody the night got, it would always be followed by a bright morning.
While I was at the market on some business for the Jude and the company, I came across a little boy bawling his eyes out.
(He doesn't seem to be injured… is he lost?)
I was about to approach him, when a postwoman nearby quickly crouched down next to the crying boy and comforted him.
Her gentle demeanour seemed to help him calm down a little.
(... That's good. In that case, I shall—)
I looked around the area…
(Ah, over there.)
I spotted the person I was looking for. My relatively tall height gave me an advantage in crowds.
Ellis: By any chance, are you looking for a lost child?
Teary-Eyed Woman: Y-Yes, do you know where he is…!?
I pointed in the direction of the little boy, and the woman immediately ran towards him.
I watched as the facial expressions of the postwoman, little boy, and the woman who seemed to be his mother brightened up.
(... I’m glad.)
If possible, I want everyone I meet to be happy.
I don’t want anyone to be unhappy.
If there’s anything I can do to make them happy, I will.
Tumblr media
(Because… happiness is easily broken.)
(It doesn’t matter how wonderful the person is, or how much they hope for an ordinary day.)
Happiness, like the twilight sky, was transient.
(... See?)
It was a typical night where we were on a mission as usual, and Crown had just taken the life of our target.
Then came the sound of a woman’s happiness shattering.
William: Now look who we have here, aren't you the little robin I met earlier today?
Kate: Um… uhh… eeh…?
The lady was trembling with blood splattered on her pale face.
She was likely that postwoman I saw in town earlier in the day.
(... Poor lady.)
My heart ached when I recalled the happy smile on her face when that mother found her lost son.
The things we did as Crown were top secret.
This darkness should never be made known to people who live in the sun.
If they ever find out about it — there would be no going back to their original lives.
(That’s why, at the very least…)
Ellis: Do we kill her?
Ellis: She doesn’t look happy at all, but I’ll do it if it’s for work.
(At the very least, she’ll be freed from suffering if I kill her.)
The room went silent.
The postwoman who introduced herself as Kate trembled pitifully.
Victor: Hmm. Let me think…
(Once he decides to kill Kate, I’ll make it quick for her.)
(That way, she won’t have to suffer from the fear and anxiety any longer.)
While awaiting Victor’s response, I reached for my knife, and at that moment—
Kate: I swear that I will NEVER breathe a word about ANYTHING I just heard!
Kate declared with an assertive voice.
Victor: Hmm… huh? What?
Kate: I will keep all that information strictly confidential. I work as a postwoman, I’m professionally trained to keep secrets!
Tumblr media
(...)
Victor • William: …
(Victor and Will seem surprised.)
I was surprised by her response as well, and I found myself unable to take my eyes off her.
Even though Kate was in a potentially life-threatening situation, she didn’t seem to have given up on wanting to live.
Kate: If you don’t trust me, you can go ahead and keep a close eye on me until you do.
Kate: I’ll prove to you through my actions that I’m worthy of your trust.
(... I believe in you.)
I believe that you’ll return to your original life.
I believe that you’ll smile with joy once again.
In this darkness where the sun doesn't shine, I believe in you.
(—... How lovely.)
Her profile was dazzling, like the setting sun before it disappeared in the horizon—.
(I want to see you smile again.)
(Like how you did when I saw you in town.)
Having those thoughts felt so natural to me.
If only this didn't have to be “The End” because of my job.
If only there was a “continuation” of your happiness.
(I want to make you happy.)
As I gazed at Kate’s look of determination—
— For some reason, an image of the twilight on the happiest day of my life appeared in my mind.

Inspired from a silly discussion we got with @yanderepuck
And if you ask Jean how comes he didn't see the English floating around during war, he would answer "because they were wearing armors obviously."

Some of Chevalier Michel’s best quotes
Tumblr media
“You have plenty of time. Therefore, it’s not necessary to overload yourself to the point of harming your health just for the sake of learning. I’m not in a hurry. I’ll wait patiently for you to reach your full potential.”
“I don’t mind making you my woman.”
“If you value your life, trust no one.”
“Allowing their deaths to be in vain would be an affront to those who utterly devoted themselves to the kingdom.” (—Chevalier talking about the dead soldiers to MC)
“That’s how values work. Just because two ways of thinking are incompatible doesn’t mean one is right and the other is wrong.”
“If you ever feel like crying, tell me. I’ll torment you so thoroughly that you’ll forget how to cry.”
“Until I’d met her, I’d never have considered letting another person touch me.” (—Chevalier’s thoughts about MC)
“Can a man read in peace without you staring at his face?”
“Don't... say another man's name... so much. It grates on my ears.”
“You're quite graceless, you know? Your legs seem to be shaking.”
“You are my queen. It does not matter how many years go by, I have no intention of loving any other woman.”
“If the rabbit has time to spend with you, she'll spend it with me instead.” (—Chevalier talking about MC to Clavis)
“I had no intention of letting anyone complain about a commoner being in a relationship with royalty, and it didn't bother me, either.” (—Chevalier's thoughts)
“What might your hand be doing in your pocket? I dare you to throw one of those concoctions of yours at me. Just know I will kick you into the next century.” (—Chevalier to Clavis)
“Maids are servants. They follow their master or mistress' orders, thus creating a clear discrepancy in power. But I do not wish you to be below me. What I desire is for us to be equals, serving each other in a cooperative and mutual manner.”
"...Now that I think about it, I was rather fond of you from the very beginning. (...) To begin with... is there any man who would barge into the room of a woman he doesn't like? The palace is huge. There are many places... where I could go to spend leisure time, instead of expressly going to your room."
"You look terrible. (...) There's no need to feel ashamed. Not everything that has value is beautiful."
"You're the one at fault for leaving the covenant YOU created so open to interpretation. A shame." (—Chevalier to Sariel)
"Currently, a servant manages the palace library, but he's no expert, so his work is sloppy. I've been dissatisfied with it for a while now, but... you're proficient at handling books, yes?"
"It's not that you 'can' stay by my side, it's that you 'will' stay by my side."
"(...) Do you think I would allow you to die so easily after you laid a hand on my lover? (...) I've said as much before, but dying is not what you should be doing. What you should be doing is returning home to your loved ones, no matter how shameful you look." (—Chevalier to Flandre)
"Ever since I was a child, love had been the one thing I was most indifferent to. (...) My one and only reason is that I wanted to know what love was. Ridiculous, I know."
"I'm not so famished that I'd eat something I don't need. ...I want you so much that I could just eat you all up right now."
"(...) Any guest of MC's is a guest of mine as well." (—Chevalier talking about an enemy to Clavis)

Do you think Arthur feels left out during weekly writers' night because Shakespeare and Dazai are Known for hating to make up their own plots, while the mystery genre is 80-90% plot? Like,
Shakespeare, who stole every plot he ever wrote: Fates, why must I be a slave to the 5 Acts! It serves well, but I despise it so much!
Dazai, who used life, fairy tales, and Hamlet as writing material because he couldn't plot for shit: It's true, why can't readers be satisfied with a series of emotions? The character's emotional arc is most important, in my humble opinion.
Arthur:
Arthur: you are like little babies. Watch this. [writes 300th plot-heavy mystery]

Villain's Night, Halloween Story Event ~ Jude Jazza Story
WARNING! The story contains hardcore violence, murder and blood.
Young man in a costume: "Hey you! Can't you hear me!? ....I said trick or treat?"
Kate: ".....This is so annoying. I said I'm waiting for someone."
Tumblr media
Young man in a costume: "If you don't give me a treat, I'll do a trick."
(This is so annoying....)
Ellis was asked by Mr. Jude to do some shopping. The town which was busy with all Halloween preparation and there were people everywhere, so I went out with Ellis to help him carry his luggage.
While I was waiting for Ellis outside the store and this young man wearing a costume approached me.
(If I leave here, I'll just get separated from Ellis...)
(If that happens, there is no point in coming here to carry the luggage...how can I get rid of this person?)
Young man in a costume: "Hey, are you ignoring me again?"
Kate: "Hey! let go....!"
He grabbed my wrist and I couldn't help but glare at him and raise my voice.
???: "Did you hook up with a man that has a very bad taste?"
Young man in costume: "Huh?"
(....This voice)
Someone pulled my shoulder with a jerk and when I look up, it was Mr. Jude.
Tumblr media
Jude: "He looks frustrated?"
Kate: "No no....! This man was the one who got involved."
Jude: "Oh?"
Young man in a costume: "Ah.."
Mr. Jude glanced at him and it made the young man realize that he was in danger.
He let out a shriek and ran away.
Kate: "Thank you very much....for helping me."
Jude: "You were just standing here like an idiot without doing anything."
Jude: "Miss Ex-postman, you know there are fools like those wandering around here celebrating Halloween, right?"
He turns his gaze towards the buoyant streets of London, and Mr. Jude removed his hand from my shoulder.
The area he was touching was no longer warm and my gaze followed his hand as it moves away.
He is supposed to be a ruthless sadist, but sometimes, there are times like this where he makes me go crazy.
Tumblr media
Jude: "How did you manage to survive unscathed?"
Kate: "....Well, if push comes to shove, I would have bit that man's arm and ran away."
Jude: "Wow. You're so brave."
Jude: "But...I saved you anyway, so you owe me one."
Kate: "!? I don't wanna! I don't wanna!!!"
(I'm sure he's gonna make an unreasonable demand!)
(What would you like....a candy? No, he'll reject me after labelling me a 'Halloween fool')
(Then then...)
Jude: "I'll make it easy for you so you don't have to think so hard with your little head."
Kate: "Eh....!?"
Tumblr media
Jude: "Tonight you will not wander off anywhere. You will stay in your room at the Crown Castle."
Jude: "If you promise that, we'll call it square."
Kate: "...That's it?"
Jude: "Why? Do you want something more unreasonable?"
Kate: "No! I promise!"
Tumblr media
Ellis: "Sorry to keep you waiting, Kate. The store was busy..."
Ellis: "Ah Jude? Are you done with your work already?"
Jude: "I wouldn't be here if that was the case."
(You had work today too? You really are a busy person, all the time....)
Now that I know how physically and mentally demanding the Crown's duties and those of the trading companies can be,
I am amazed at how he manages to turn it around with just one body.
(It doesn't really feel like he likes his job...nor a spendthrift who likes luxury)
(So why are you working non-stop....?)
In the end, Ellis only gave me the lightest item in his luggage and the three of us returned to the castle.
Tumblr media
Victor: "Happy Halloween! How do you like this extravagant decorations? Guess who did it? Guess guess!"
Alphonse: "Oh my god, who!?"
Victor: "I knew you would all be super curious! Why should I hide, right? It was me!"
Kate: "Wow! As expected of Victor!"
Ellis: "clap clap clap~"
Jude: "......"
Kate: "Mr. Jude, you can at least give some acknowledgement..."
Tumblr media
As soon as we approached the dining hall, we were dragged in by Mr. Alphonse, and saw that the dining hall had been decorated magnificently.
Victor is unperturbed by our reactions and smiles with satisfaction.
Victor: "Hmm, the tenderness of Ellis and Kate and Jude's unwavering chilling gaze..."
Victor: "My cursed ones and my fairy tale master are running normally today!"
Victor: "...But only while the sun is in the sky. I've already asked Alphonse though."
Victor: "Ellis. Jude. Be careful tonight, okay?"
Jude: "I don't have time for long conversations with weirdos."
Mr. Jude tried to avoid the conversation and left quickly.
Kate: "...Is there anything going on tonight?"
Alphonse: "Fufu, I guess you could call it a mysterious price that comes with the curse."
Alphonse: "Every few years, when Halloween falls on a full or new moon, a cursed one's sin is heightened."
Alphonse: "It's like a phenomenon."
Victor: "The moonflowers in the palace blooms to coincide with it."
Victor: "It's also known as 'Night of the Moonbeams'. As far as I know, it happened once before 20 years ago."
Kate: "Earlier, what did you mean by 'sins are heightened'....?"
Alphonse: "Curses have a predetermined nature, don't they?"
Alphonse: "Self-righteousness, decisiveness' for Mr. William and 'ruthlessness, arrogance, vindictiveness' for Mr. Jude..."
Alphonse: "I think that's a good interpretation for their curses and that's going to get intensified."
Kate: "Does that mean Mr. Jude will become even more ruthless and arrogant in his vengeance than he already is....?"
Victor: "You can put it like that. The cursed ones themselves will feel hard to control...."
Victor: "It is a night of danger, both for the cursed ones and those around them."
(Even those with curses are in danger....)
Alphonse: "Even so, it seems like Mr. Jude is going somewhere dangerous this evening."
Kate: "Dangerous?"
Alphonse: "Yeah, I heard about Mr. Jude's plans for tonight from Mr. Roger."
Alphonse: "Have you ever heard of an illegal form of gambling in which people kill each other, called duel gambling?"
Kate: "N-No...!"
Alphonse: "I heard that a man embezzled Mr. Jude's company's money, left and was melting it down there."
Alphonse: "The little rascal is, unfortunately, now socially dead, it seems."
Tumblr media
Alphonse: "He is planning to clamp down on the big boys and take all the money from the gambling operation."
Alphonse: "I'm just horrified by the hints of bloody violence."
Kate: "Does he really have to go to such a dangerous place during this time....?"
Alphonse: "Why not? What a better place for a cold-blooded man who loves other people's misery and money to run amok, right?"
Alphonse: "He might accidentally overdo it and get arrested or killed, but...well, I think he'll be fine."
(Such....is not something that can happen inadvertently)
Kate: "He does all those assignments, all that work and ...he doesn't even look like he is in need of money."
Alphonse: "Isn't it because the nature of his curse included a desire for vengeance?"
Alphonse: "What has been stolen cannot be satisfied unless it is regained, and a broken promise cannot be forgiven unless it is retaliated against."
Ellis: "And....Jude needs a lot of money and people to fulfil his goal, I guess."
Kate: "What goal...?"
Ellis: "To fulfil a promise he made to someone a long time ago."
Kate: "Can he fulfil it if he has money?"
Tumblr media
Ellis: "I think he said it was 99.9% impossible."
(W-What the....?)
(Are you living such a....busy dangerous and life-destroying life for the sake of that 0.01% chance?)
Ellis: "...Anyway, duel gambling is illegal, so no matter how he retaliate, they have no choice but to cry themselves to sleep."
Ellis: "He said he'd get more than double what he'd lost in money and that he'd be the perfect one for tonight."
Kate: "What about you, Ellis? Are you going?"
Ellis: "I'll...stay in my room for tonight, I think."
Ellis: "I don't know what's going to happen to me tonight either, so...."
Kate: "....I see..."
Victor: "...There is no one in this castle tonight normal enough to help people, Kate."
(Then Mr. Jude is alone... in a place where he could die)
Alphonse: "You look worried. Why don't you go there and have a look?"
Kate: "...No I can't. I promised to stay quiet in the castle tonight."
Alphonse: "Don't worry! As long as he doesn't find out, you haven't broken any promises."
Kate: "....Don't provoke me. A promise is a promise."
Alphonse: "Fufu, what a shame. I forgot how disciplined and serious you are."
Alphonse: "But, I'll lend you this in case you change your mind."
Tumblr media
Alphonse: "Did you know? The gambling den says you can only enter in costume today."
He sneakily whispered and handed me a pair of cat's ears and a suspicious looking tail.
Kate: "....How do you even wear this tail....?"
Alphonse: "You can sort of figure it out just by looking at the shape, right? Where do you think it goes....?"
Kate: "T-Take it back...!"
Alphonse: "No returns."
He puts it in my pocket and walked away in a good mood.
I was too afraid to even touch it, that couldn't even put my hands in the pocket and decided to leave it there.
(I'll get rid of it when I change my clothes...)
(I made a promise to Mr. Jude. So, I want to make sure I keep it)
(But...)
I know it's unnecessary, but I can't help worrying about the strange things that happens on the 'Night of the Moonbeams'.
I was making my way to the palace gardens.
(Is this the garden? The moonflowers, though it's only in bud now....)
(It would be so beautiful if they all bloomed at once)
It's enough.....to drive anyone crazy.
???: "Oh...am I seeing a little robin wandering into the garden of the moonbeam?"
Kate: "William..."
Tumblr media
William: "Have the flowers driven you crazy already?"
Kate: "No...I was just curious when I heard about Moonbeam night thing just a few minutes ago."
William: "You look a little too sad that curious."
Kate: "I promised Mr. Jude this morning that I would stay quiet in my room tonight. But...."
Kate: "But now that I think of it, it was as if he knew about the Night of the Moonbeams and was trying to keep me away."
Kate: "It was a promise I made to repay him back and now he's the one protecting me again...."
Kate: "I feel like I'm not giving anything back..."
William: ".....Fufu. You're a disciplined robin. By the way, Kate."
Kate: "Hm....?"
William: "Trick or treat?"
Kate: "!? Sorry, I don't have any treats."
William: "Yes, I know. I'm just said that because I wanted a good reason to play a prank."
Kate: "Eh....?"
William: "I'm feeling a bit more selfish than usual, probably because the sun is going down."
Tumblr media
William: "Tonight, act on your desires."
Kate: "....!?"
William: "This is where Jude is heading. If you want."
My hand is drawn like a magnet to the note William holds out to me.
Kate: "Ah..wait..No William...please!"
Furthermore, my feet started moving on their own towards the gate.
(Am I realling going to...where Mr. Jude is!?)
William: "Bye bye, Kate."
William: "Hopefully, I wish you have the most sinful Halloween night ever."
.............
(Finally I made it...)
My body which is faithful to my desires, as William commanded....
I ended up at the gambling den where Mr. Jude said he was heading.
Drunk man: "Hey, little kitten, you're so cute. Come on, purr for me."
Kate: ".....Excuse me. I'm looking for someone."
The gambling den was crowded with people in Halloween costumes.
I was forced to put on only cat ears that Mr. Alphonse had forced on me to blend in with the crowd.
Apparently, it is not only an illegal dueling ring, but also a brothel.
The men were trying to shove their hands inside cages with frightened women, trying to touch and grope them.
Tumblr media
(....A place where money is worth more than a human life....)
Sickened by the terrible sight...I look for the person who is trying to mess up this scene.
(...I have to find Mr. Jude quickly...)
(Then what?)
(It's not like I can convince him to come back home quietly)
Tumblr media
Even though my head thinks so, my body selfishly searches for him.
(What is my desire? To find Mr. Jude?)
(How can a body be 'faithful to its desires' when I don't even know what to do....?)
(William's abilities are truly terrifying)
Kate: "Um...excuse me, has someone called Jude Jazza been here?"
Kate: "He wears a long cloak and has a scary face-----"
I asked and look around in the crowd, but can't find him....
???: "Is that Jude Jazza's girlfriend?"
.............
Jude: "Let me get this straight."
Jude: "If you accept my terms, I will at least spare your life."
Jude silently submerged the guards and entered, later crushing the jaws of two or three of the guards,
He then imposed arrogant and unreasonable conditions on to the organizers.
Organizer of the gambling den: "...Ha..Haha. First, please calm down."
Tumblr media
Organizer of the gambling den: "Isn't it a bit arrogant of you to completely stop duel gambling and human trafficking and give you all the proceeds....?"
Organizer of the gambling den: "We only lost a few thousand pounds, right?"
Organizer of the gambling den: "Also, it's your employee's crime, not ours and we didn't tell him to."
Jude: "I hate talking about that. So are you saying you don't accept my terms....?"
The organizer gulped as he was under the glaring eyes of Jude that were sharper than a blade.
Then a man from his crew ran in and whispered something to the organizer.
The look in his eyes instantly changed to one of triumph.
Organizer of the gambling den: "---Ha. Well well well. It seems you have a visitor."
Jude: "...Visitor?"
A large man entered and dragged Kate's limp unconscious body.
Tumblr media
Jude: "...Ah?"
Organizer of the gambling den: "They said she was wandering around looking for you. Looks like you have a loving girlfriend?"
Organizer of the gambling den: "So? If you withdraw your previous conditions, I will return this woman to you untouched."
Organizer of the gambling den: "Hm? There's something inside her pocket...Ah! Oh my."
Big man: "Haha...To also bring this along with you...such a lecherous little girl."
Big man: "----Ha?"
For a moment, the man's eyes blink, as if he doesn't know what had just happened.
As he looked down, Kate's body fell to the floor with a thud, along with his arm that was holding her.
Big man: "Ah..ARGGHHHH!?"
Jude: "Looks like you want to break the promise."
Jude: "I'll keep this boss monkey alive, for a while. He's got a lot of talking to do."
Tumblr media
Jude: "Everyone else. Die."
............
Kate: "Nn.....Mm...."
When my consciousness returned, the first thing I heard were moans and sobs.
(Umm...I don't know what happened to me...I recall, someone approached me and...)
Kate: "....!?"
As soon as I sat up, my breathing stopped at the gruesome sight that unfolded before me.
All I can see was red. The floor and walls are stained with blood.
Bodies were lying on the floor and were barely recognizable,
There were several reddish-black lumps of something dumped on the ground like trash.
Tumblr media
In the middle of all of it, was Mr. Jude.
(Mr. Jude....?)
Jude: "How about this? If I cut your arteries and you'll die from excessive bleeding. Don't have to pay me back if you don't live, right?"
Mr. Jude's red soaked sword sinks slowly into the leg of the man who seems to be the boss of the place.
Organizer of the gambling den: "Ah..Arrghh...please! please! I'll give you the money! I'll give you....6-60% of the sales."
Jude: "Tch!?"
Organizer of the gambling den: "ARRGGGGHHHH!"
Jude: "Since your ears are for decoration, I'll cut them too."
Mr. Jude was laughing manically as if he was getting off of the man's painful screams.
Seeing the cold and ruthless profile, the fear I had almost forgotten comes back to me.
Mr. Jude is an evil man from a different world.
(And yet....I can't stop witnessing such a spectacle)
Tumblr media
(All I kept wondering was if Mr. Jude was bleeding from somewhere)
I didn't know what I wanted to do when I find him.
But my desire was now clear.
(Even if this is an everyday occurrence for Mr. Jude)
Even if this is due to the nature of his curse.
Or even its for a promise to someone I don't know.
(This person who lives in the darkness as if to cut down his life, this person who pushes me away from the darkness, who keeps me safe)
(...I also wanted to help him in anyway I could)
Tonight is a dangerous night for the cursed ones.
(But in the end....I only became a hinderance)
There is an overwhelming gap between him and me.
(How frustrating)
I bite my lip and stare at him, torturing and hurting the man who seems to be the boss.
When he had finished giving him the information he wanted, he stabbed the man's heart and Mr. Jude sheathed his sword.
Tumblr media
Jude: "........."
(....I don't think I've ever see you use a sword before)
Mr. Jude usually hurts people, but does not kill them easily.
He says that it is more efficient to exploit the labor force than to kill them, or that killing them will cause problems later on.
----FLASHBACK----
Victor: "The cursed ones themselves will feel hard to control...."
Victor: "It is a night of danger, both for the cursed ones and those around them."
-----FLASHBACK ENDS-----
The pale moonlight shines through the window.
(Right now....Mr. Jude is not normal)
(It is too dangerous to approach him)
I slowly walked towards his bloody back.
The Halloween night will make the cursed ones go crazy.
I was like a lusty madman at William's behest.
Kate: "Mr. Jude."
Jude: "............."
Mr. Jude doesn't look back.
As if drawn to him, my hand lifted and my fingertips gently grasped the cloak.
Kate: "....Are you hurt anywhere?"
Kate: "....!"
Before I can finish my words, my body is pulled up in a jerk.
I felt a thump, a jolt in my back, and I choked on the pain.
Jude: "Why did you break the promise, huh?"
Kate: "Jude...."
Jude: "You know what happens if you break a promise to me, don't you?"
Kate: "...Nn."
The hand on my neck squeezes down my throat and I choke.
It is crazy to think that this was the same hand the protected me earlier today from that strange man on the streets of London.
Kate: "Haa....Haa...."
Tumblr media
Jude: "Oh, maybe you broke the promise on purpose to get punished?"
Kate: ".....Ngh? .....!"
I shook my head and he snorted with laughter.
Jude: "Usually I would be content with just threatening you, Princess."
Jude: "But tonight that doesn't seem to be enough for me."
Jude: "Trick or treat......well, who cares?"
Jude: "Are you ready to be tortured?"
Mr. Jude's amethyst eyes gleamed in the moonlight beaming in through the window.
