Miss Fortune

Chapter 15: Acheron

Rosalyn sighed as she looked at the male in front of her. She had to admit she was a bit taken back by just how pure this male seemed to be at times. But even so, it didn't stop her from perusing her goal of trying to torture the male. She was used to breaking people slowly and methodically but nothing she did seemed to get under his skin. Her usual methods of torture either wouldn't work or didn't seem to bother him.

And when she tried to think outside of the box on what she could do to him, it didn't have the effect she wanted. There were a few instances that it seemed to bother him but nothing ever truly stuck to him. She knew trying to corrupt this male was going to be a bit more dangerous than she had been expecting. But she didn't think it was going to be this hard. Chrom had told her that angels weren't the ideal embodiments of morality that society liked to portray them as.

And yet he seemed to be exactly what Chrom said he wasn't. He really did seem to be this moral paragon against things that were inherently seen as evil. Then again maybe she shouldn't have been expecting much else. They were warriors sure, but they were also meant to be the complete opposite of demons. Something that she did have a bit of experience with. And just like demons are capable of acts of kindness she knew that King as an angel was also capable of committing sins.

She just needed to find what sins he was more likely to commit. He seemed to have come to terms that he was probably the last angel alive so sex and reproducing didn't seem to carry much weight for him. He was also a fairly calm person despite having been captured by the organization and now being tortured by her. So acts of rage and violence seemed off the table as well.

There were still other things she could try out but she had no idea how to go about it. All she need was to get him to commit one act of evil. If she did that then she could reasonably convince him to do more and more. Almost like a snowball effect until it eventually escalated to the point where it couldn't be controlled anymore.

"You really seem to enjoy being a creature of the night," King said as he looked up at the female in front of him.

"I do," Rosalyn said as she looked at the male in front of her.

"I don't think so," King said as he looked at her. "At least not as much as you let on. But we angels see things differently. We see people differently. We see the color of one's soul, so from the very beginning, we have no reason to try and get to know someone better. We know exactly who you are from the very beginning," King said as he looked at the female in front of him.

"Is that so?" Rosalyn asked as she looked at the male in front of her. That was another bit of information she could take back to the others. "Then tell me, what do you see in my soul?" Rosalyn asked as she looked at the male in front of her.

"I see a kind girl, an innocent girl corrupted by this world. A girl that's been twisted by anger and hatred into what she is now. And I think it has something to do with the man who turned you into this creature. That's what I see when I stare at you. I see little hope for you to redeem yourself and begin walking in the light once again," King said as he looked at her. When he said this Rosalyn looked at him a bit skeptical.

"Walking in light doesn't exactly do much for a vampire," Rosalyn said as she looked at the male in front of her.

"I'm aware, but the light I'm referring to is spiritual. A light that won't burn you, and instead will cleanse you. But . . . as I said, I have little hope for you to begin walking down that path once again," King said as he looked at the female in front of him.

"In that case, I want you to tell me something," Rosalyn said as she looked at the male in front of her. "What did you see when I took you to all those places. Tell me what you saw. Has this world strayed from what it once was?" Rosalyn asked as she looked at the male in front of her causing King to shake his head.
