Chapter 355: Avoid The Stream-II

Despite Maroon\'s coarse language, Elise understood where he came from. Ian\'s mother, who she had learned her name to be Lucy had suffered unjustly from her husband\'s disloyalty. "How was the person you loved, Mr. Maroon?" She paused, seeing Maroon\'s dull eyes seemed to flicker and added, "I\'m sorry, I asked Ian about it."

"It\'s nothing to be apologized for, milady," Maroon answered and he appeared not to be shaken seemingly knew that sooner Elise would question about this. "It\'s only right for you to be curious of who are working under you. Instead I agree with what you do and I think it\'s your first right step as the Lady of White House."

Elise shook her head, telling him, "I still think that I should have asked you first, some times question such as this could be intrusive."

Maroon pulled his hand back and when Elise begin to walk, he followed just one step behind her, "What happened to me had long happened before and I have make peace with it. My wife Lilith, she was a human." He started, "How in depth have you heard about Lilith?"

"Until her death," said Elise, not wanting to question to much she deciding to be a good listener.

"I think you might have learned that I am a Demon," Maroon stated which Elise replied with a nod.

"I had also heard how painful it was," Elise remarked, seeing the butler chuckle.

"I was high on the rush adrenaline, anger, and hatred. No matter how agonizing that pain is, I only thought of it as a slap of reality. I realized that maybe I have been taking the world\'s peacefulness too kindly and had taken advantage of it by thinking that our love would end happily. I disregard the fact that one day a storm would come which why when that storm hit me, it was all too late as I had lost her."

There was a string calmness and serenity as Maroon had spoken which was different than what Elise had guessed at first as thought he still wallow on sadness, and then this was much better for Maroon\'s best interest. Just like what others said, time does heal wounds although the deep injuries would leave scar for years, it was also become a reminder of their tragedy which at times being not only sadness but a remembrance for the people who they once love.

"I can understand that," Elise replied, she also thought when she loved with the Scott\'s nothing bad would happen, but she was wrong. "She must be a very gorgeous person."

"Very," Maroon agreed, "She was so beautiful that it became my fortune but also her misfortune. She had features that make her stood out from others. In the village, she was known as the prima donna, we knew each other since childhood and marry not soon after. When I saw her I just knew she would be the person I will be with until death. Unfortunately I wasn\'t there for her when she needed me."

Elise offered the butler a smile, "I trust she would be in peace now in Heaven." And she turned her face as Maroon replied,

"She is, in fact," Maroon answered, turning his face from the floor to her, "When I had the chance to come to hell with Lord Ian, I went and search for her but she wasn\'t there. It\'s either that I wasn\'t able to go through the list of the death souls or that she was in Heaven and for her who had never dyed her hands in blood, I believe it was the after mentioned case."

"You have went to hell?" Elise asked, with interest piqued on her voice.

"Of course, and it\'s all due to the Lord\'s generosity I was able to access Hell. It\'s far different than what human would think Hell look like, in fact there is also castles that are far better looking than White Mansion," Maroon lately realized he might have given a shade to the White Mansion and said, "Despite the Lord\'s cruelty, milady. I think we both know how kind he is. Perhaps it\'s because he was once a human like me that he despite injustice. I will not sugarcoat my words and claim he had only killed the sinful people because I know he had also killed the innocents. Lord Ian doesn\'t like Hell very much but because he knew I wanted to see Lilith in Hell, he went there."

Elise had heard about it last night of how Ian had only visited Hell for two times and the first time due to his punishment while the second visit was in fact for Maroon\'s sake, "He is kind," Elise softened her smile with the thought of him that make her delighted. "But I don\'t think he sees himself as a kind person."

"Only those who have pushed their hand with blood of others know the extent of their sin, I believe that\'s the reason for the Lord\'s thinking," answered Maroon, his thick dull red hair floated as he walked before it fell flat on his forehead when he stopped all of a sudden. Seeing him shopped, Elise had also suspend her stroll, "I think I have spoken too much than necessary for a servant. I hope I am not bothering you and my deep wish for you to find your father soon."

"Thank you," Elise said and the butler bowed before making his leave. Elise wondered if he had suddenly remember there was something important he needed to do which why he had left abruptly.

After having a breakfast alone to fill her stomach, Elise then went to take the three books she had borrowed from the library. Not wanting to be like a mushroom, she left her room and chose an open space to read the book, helped by Mila who met her on her way to the open ground, to brew her a tea, she placed the books on the table, beginning to open the first page.

Many questions still lingered about herself and the Demons in her head, and Elise hoped the books could be the answer. Hoping that her luck would strike gold.

"What is these books, Lady Elise?" questioned Mila who had set the teacup on the right side of the table so Elise won\'t pushed the tea by mistake and spill it in accident.
