Esther didn't managed to run away enough yet and she didn't want to risk it by quickly coming back home. While her mother was gone now, Esther didn't want her only house to be found by the people and they would come there to drag her back into the Prince of Hell, making her to be his sacrificial pawn.

she had heard of how the royals of Hell and those High Demons enjoy too eat demons rather than human which was even more worse. She hid until five hours had passed as she was too scared that the people were still chasing her.

Once Esther made certain no one was folowing her, Esther made her way back to home. Once she was inside her house, she breathed a relief, "Fortunately I am still luck—" Esther's eyes widened as all of a sudden someone banged on the door of her house.

Shocked and scared, Esther didn't reply and continued to stay there, waiting until the roaring knockings on the door to stop.

Just when Esther thought to find a way for herself to escape through the back door, she stopped because the person who stood on the other side of the door spoke, "Esther? This is your father! Carmilla! Esther!"

Father?

Esther's eyes widened. What was this scumbag doing here now? It had been four years since he left.

"I finally found the medicine. I-I found them, Carmilla," her father spoke again.

The room inside her house was dimly lighted as Esther had tried to keep as less light as possible to keep less people notice that she had came back home. She looked around her place with her blue eyes, confused and surprised. One hand she didn't waited for her father. She didn't care about the man as he had left both her and her mother for years. Yet now he came back, with the medicine he promised to bring back...

Had she mistaken her father's intention?

Esther was still quite young and she reflected on her age. It was known that the younger the person are, they lack the ability to see through a person's true self.

Slowly, Esther opened the door, seeing her father. Her mother mentioned him to be handsome but Esther knew since she was a baby and after she cold understand her mother's words that they didn't share the same taste.

"What do you want?" Esther asked with hostility. She looked around the spot behind her father. Great, no one was chasing her.

"Where is Carmilla? I have found the medicine," said the demon; his eyes were blue as he was a lesser demon.

"Mom has died. You came too late," Esther answered before pulling the door knob.

"What?" The man appeared shocked, "Let me inside! No, that's not true!"

"You can visit her in the cemetery. I am already done with you. Leave my house now!" Esther shouted and she closed her eyes. As she expected, her guts didn't had any good feeling when she was with her father.

"No... if she died, what about me?"

"What about you?" Esther looked at him baffled, "You should be happy now that she doesn't weigh your shoulders again-" Esther's shoulders were suddenly held by her father.

At first, when seeing her father's reaction, Esther noticed that her father was shocked and stunned. He looked anxious and was in panic as well. Esther mistaken that expression to be him feeling loss.

But his next few words shocked Esther to no end.

"She cannot die! I still have so many things I have to achieve from her. What about my debt; w-who will pay for them?"

Esther looked at him dumbfounded. She doubted her ears but she trusted her ears and hearing capability more than the man who was her father.

"Debt?" When Esther uttered the words, she noticed the group of men coming toward her house. Her instinct was to flee and she saw the largest man on the group coming to her father and held him by his neck.

"It's overdue. Do you think you could ever run, Decep?" The man questioned with eerie smile. "How dare you think you can run without paying the debts you had took from me! Where is the money?!"

"I-I'm sorry! Please forgive me! I am honest with you but I don't have anything from my pocket. There is no gold, no souls, and nothing!" Her father begged pathetically.

"No, I trust there is still your body here. You might drink and play with women all day long when you were in Yesela, but you still have your body. We can chop you into fine pieces and present it too the High Demons who love to taste of demons like you," the man boomed a laughter that caused the rest of is followers to laugh as well.

"Please! Anything but that!" Begged Decep. His eyes frantically look around and he met Esther's eyes who were stunned on what she saw. "There! You can just take her."

"We might be ruffians but we are no kidnappers," answered the man which had Esther to feel a very faint relief until the man continued on, "Unless she has a reason why she has to pay for your debt?"

"She is my daughter! She can do anything for you," said her father.

Esther was utterly horrified. She was so alarmed, baffled, and disappointed at what her father had said.

Immediately, she pulled and close the door but the people who followed the large men were faster than her. Esther was held by her arms as she struggled to get out.

"She is quite fine," remarked one of the men.

"If she is dressed better, she would definitely become a babe," said the leaner man, and he stuck out his tongue, licking the side of her face. Esther cringe. "She just be needing some love, leaving in some hut like this."

"It would be a shame to sell her. Why don't we kept her in our base, sire? As a pet of our own," chuckled the other man and Esther felt horribly disgusted by what she had heard.

"No! I am not his daughter! Leave! Please leave me al—hgh!" One of the man had gagged her mouth with the left over fabric. The four men except the largest one dragged her inside her house.

The man discussed who should go first, the largest one laughed but all their voices muddled in Esther's ears as the frighten had caused her entire body to stun in place.

The ceiling above her was dark. The last light that bring kindle to the room turn exhaust when the four men moved quickly inside the house. Some man tried to strip her bare. Esther continue to struggle, kicking and slapping the people. Though scared, she didn't want to do this!

What was her fault? She didn't do anything other than unluckily be born from a man like her father!

Tears filled her eyes when she realized no one was coming to help her. After all, Demons prioritize themselves.

Darkness of the room stifle her. Esther felt as though she couldn't breathe when she screamed, she never expected someone to actually come to help her. The man entered the house, throwing the people from Esther who was frightened. Her blue eyes filled with tears with her clothes remained on her body as none of the attempt succeeded.

Leviathan looked at Esther, "You have a blue eyes," he remarked first before coming toward her and offered a hand. "Do you need help?"
