Chapter 574: A Queen’s Action-III

Challenges was something Satan lacked. Living as the King also meant having no one daring enough around him who would try to challenge his authority. Why? Because the King never lose.

Satan was still the king of hell. Even if before all that he is also Elise\'s grandfather, Satan love the company of the bad and evil. He was a demon through and through who enjoy winning over anything else.

"Naturally that would be fair for you," Satan\'s smile annoyed Leviathan who hoped his father could fall of a cliff, break his neck and die. It was clear how the dynamic of the family was off and only because Elise was here that neither the two would sit beside each other.

"Your grandfather have a very curious question, Elise. If I do break the contract what are my penalties?" Satan questioned in interest. He doesn\'t have anything to lose. First, he didn\'t care for wealth and doubted Elise would also care for wealth. Second if it was his position that Elise wanted, he would be more than glad to give it to her at anytime which only would turn as a win for her.

Elise smiled, her smile tells that she had a plan in her mind which Satan didn\'t dislike.

"I will tell you when the time comes."

The dinnerless dinner ended quickly after Elise saw her grandfather pulling out a white snowy dagger. Elise looked at how beautiful the carving was before seeing Satan unsheathing the dagger and hold the blade on his palm to draw the black-colored blood which he then used a full drop to make a red dot on the end of the agreement.

Elise was given the same dagger when Satan said, "You can use a small needle if you want."

"I can deal with the pain," answered Elise who then took the dagger fearlessly and used the sharp tip to carve a line on her palm. "I have had worse," she then murmured.

When they were about to leave, Satan popped a question, "Where will you two be staying?"

"Lucifer\'s or my castle," answered Leviathan, saving his daughter\'s breath.

"That\'s not what I want to hear," hummed Satan.

"There was nothing in the contract that says Elise has to follow your words," Leviathan stressed with a deep frown on his eyebrows as he noticed faster than anyone that Satan was about to use his dictating tone again.

"But I did," Satan chimed with a grin. "In one of the requirements I had in the parchment it said that throughout this agreement, I require my granddaughter to follow my words in order to bring back her dead husband."

"Only if what you request me to do is needed to bring back Ian from dead as it has been written," answered Elise. Before signing the agreement, Elise had made sure to read the words written without missing any single of it. She knew that in situations of making agreements such as this it won\'t only be her who will try to gain more advantage by using trickery in the words she uses. Satan would also do the same.

"Yes of course and think about it staying directly in my castle will help me so much in bringing back your husband. You know Elise, not everyone get to bring back their dead lovers," Satan said with a small smile on his lips that she couldn\'t tell what emotion was lurking underneath his smile.

Elise didn\'t let herself be drifted by her grandfather\'s words as she knew he was trying to sway her mind away from the previous matter, "I know and I am glad I will be able to do that without sacrificing any life. How is staying in the mansion will contribute in Ian\'s resurrection?"

Satan\'s smile fell a little, unhappy that he wasn\'t able to trick his granddaughter but happy to know she wasn\'t as naive as many would perceive her to be. "Simple. With you staying here if I need anything I won\'t have to go and search you outside of the castle and it saves time."

There were a few things Elise found out about signing contract with Satan. They both can still negotiate about certain agreements and make an exception to tailor for the two to agree. However one would must take on the penalties if they boldly break the agreements they have made.

Elise shared gazes with her father before she nodded her head toward Satan, "I agree but please let me choose my own room."

"Don\'t worry, my granddaughter I won\'t let you settle for anything less than perfect."

Elise nodded in response, keeping her words short to be on guard with her grandfather. When they walk out, Leviathan patted her shoulder once, "Great work. I will now go and take a look at the underground while you choose the room."

"I will come with you," she offered but her father shake his head.

"We should first direct their attention from you. We haven\'t told Satan that you don\'t posses Ian\'s remains. It is better so for if he knew any weakness from you, Satan would make use of anything to make you his prey and earn more advantages for himself."

"I understand," she replied. "Is there anywhere I should check while in the castle?"

"The library would be great. You can gather more informations in where you lacks," Leviathan tucked his hand from her shoulders, "Take care of yourself. There are some demons who live here—"

"I can take care of that, father," she offered Leviathan a smile in which he replied. Orias was the one who led her to choose her room and after walking around five corridors, Elise chose one room.

"I should go now, your highness," Orias said with a smile but Elise didn\'t return his smile. Not because she was being rude but she still remembered and took it personally for what Orias had done by fooling her and Ian.

"I hope you can still have a good sleep while I am around the castle, Orias," Elise warned, her blue eyes gave the man an askew look.

Orias blinked at the princess response, feeling as if he had made a very very large mistake when he had thought he was clever at the time and was left in silence as Elise closed her door from the demon with a crispy thud.
