Disquiet blanketed the area, fingers fiddling in nervousness as eyes looked down, unsteady and unbridled with the emotion brought upon by unsolicited memories.
"That's right. Among all the demonic beasts, the foxes are the ones who're good at bewitching people. We know how to attract the opposite sex and please them in bed," Violet sighed, her eyes clouding the more she talked about her past. "Humans are not our match in this regard, especially the females.
They're too shy to seduce men and because of that, we're the best playthings in the eyes of mortals and beasts. Some even go as far as reducing us to mere sex slaves; the rhinoceros king being one of them," she trailed off, gritting her teeth in disgust.
"He thought I was beautiful and wanted me to be one of his concubines. As if, it were possible for me to marry and live with...with that wretched thing. I could've never brought myself to, so I fled the Grand Desolation Mountain.
My sisters, on the other hand..." Austin gave her an encouraging look, prompting her to continue as she sighed in sorrow. "They couldn't run from that monster and were left at his mercy up to this day.
I can't even imagine what kind of torture they're being subjected to."
Violet shuddered at the thought. The shadows of her past still haunted her; the trauma resurfacing to remind her of the misery she and her kin had religiously faced throughout the years.
Austin felt sympathy for the defenseless girl. The injustice that had befallen onto her species was caused by the immorality of vile creatures that stood at the top. With no one to challenge their wicked ways, they had only been victimizing innocents to turn them into prized possessions that only served as decoration to their own kingdom.
He felt fury at the revelation, kindling a fire full of loathing to burn in high intensity inside him in response to Violet's suffering.
"Don't worry, Violet. That demon will pay for the brutality he inflicted on you and your family, I'll give him a lesson that he'll never forget!"
"That's nice of you, Master. I'm grateful that you're willing to do that for my sake," she smiled sincerely, hoping that her words were enough to give as thanks. "But, that would be unnecessary. I'm a six-grade demon beast now, so I won't be any worse compared to the rhinoceros king in terms of magic. I'd like to enact my vengeance myself."
After a brief pause of contemplation, she suddenly grinned, extorting a stare of bafflement from Austin. "I have a suggestion to make for the king, Master. I know you want to conquer and tame some diabolic beasts to take them back as guards to the Austin Palace. I think he would be a good choice; he would certainly be a capable guardian."
A manic, sadistic glint shined in her gaze upon imagining the humiliation the demon would be forced to endure as the watchdog of a palace.
"Yeah, that's a good idea," chuckled Austin, nodding in agreement before his spiritual sense inclined leftwards.
