The woman entered, her eyes taking in the whole situation before she attacked fiercely without hesitation.

The dagger's sharp glint shone as it swung towards Cyra. She dodged and her hand shot out, twisting the dagger from the woman's hand.

"Crack!"

A bone-cracking noise echoed as the woman's wrist bent the wrong way, but merely grimaced in pain and used her other hand to attack Cyra's chest. Cyra sidestepped and took the woman's hands, pulling her over her shoulder and slamming her to the ground.

"Bang..."

The woman inhaled sharply, as she felt a sharp pain in her spine. She tried to attack Cyra's legs to push her down, but as she struck Cyra's legs, she felt her bones snap.

"Aggrhhh...." She screamed in pain, her legs bending awkwardly, as though she had hit a metal.

Cyra looked at the trembling woman on the ground in boredom. With a swift strike to the neck, the woman fell unconscious.

"Butler, drag the bodies and follow me," Cyra commanded in a dry tone, startling Kyle, who was hiding on the roof.

"Madam... This is not in my job description," Kyle said calmly as came down from his hiding place, not surprised that she knew where he was.

"But you are my butler," She said it with such finality that it left no room for argument. Without another word, she dragged one of the women out, leaving the dumbfounded Kyle behind.

He sighed under his breath and dragged the other two people out, ignoring the open-mouthed cat who doubted his life behind him.

He followed Cyra down a secluded hallway, watching as she pressed the wall and a hidden trapdoor opened. His eyes flashed with an unknown emotion as he climbed down the stairs and saw chains and various torture devices.

Cyra chained all of them on the wall, she looked at her meal and felt an urge to start torturing them now but she quenched that urge.

She was pleased with Kyle's silence, making her pleased with her choice in making him her butler. For that, she wouldn't kill him anytime soon; she needed someone experienced around.

'Damn, he's in deep trouble'. Kyle thought, but he maintained his composure, appearing calm and composed.

They left the room, and the door closed behind them, blending seamlessly with the wall.

Each lost in their thoughts, they parted ways. Cyra checked the time and saw there was still time before morning, while Kyle returned to his quarters.

She sat on the couch, crossing her legs and resting her back lazily against the cushions.

opening her bracelet, she scrolled through, the news, noting the power struggle between juniors from hidden families.

She rubbed her chin in deep thought, sensing a storm brewing of which city would become the top out of the twelve.

From what she gathered, every twenty years the city reorganized its standing number, the strongest city was selected by the number of resources and strongest fighters, and the second advancement soul beast under them. She noticed the pattern after souring the news.

Her fingers kept tapping, as she absorbed more information, feeding her mind.

She checked, and to her satisfaction, her island was not under any city rule. However, her frown returned as she thought of the people hiding in the dark and intended to kill her, apparently for something hidden on the island.

She wants to live in peace, but from the madness brewing in her eyes and the bloodthirsty smile on her lips, it was clear she was being hypocritical. She hoped the powers hidden in the dark would last long for her enjoyment.

Standing up, she stretched and walked out of the Mansion, moving under the moonlight, feeling alive and relaxed.

She took deep breaths, inhaling the ocean air and the scent of the moist earth in the forest. With her hands behind her back, she strolled the forest like an enchanting ghost under the night sky.

She spread her senses, trying to pick up anything out of place or find what treasure might be tempting those hidden powers.

Though her steps seemed slow, she covered a great distance with each stride. After an hour, she sensed a strange, soothing energy calling to her. She turned in that direction and saw a deep, dark cliff dropping far below. Without hesitation, she leaped down, free-falling as the air rushed past her face, blowing her hair into disarray.

Her clothes flapped in the breeze, yet she could see clearly in the darkness.

She observed the rugged cave walls as she landed. After a while, she saw a blinding light and had to close her eyes against the brightness. She felt herself sink into a liquid substance.

Opening her eyes, she saw the white crystal liquid. Energy flowed into her body, making her muscles relax. She opened her mouth to take a sip, and her tongue tingled with its richness as it smoothly glided down her throat.

She drank greedily, and her thirst for blood reduced. She thought it would make an excellent base for a high-grade blood wine.
