Timeless Obsession: Magnus Maximiliano (Emperor Series #1) ✔️

Chapter 30

Chapter 30
Warning: Violence, blood.

THE CHAMBER was dark, as dark as the Emperor's heart. His breathing is uneven, not even matching the old man beside him who's silently crying from agony and pain. It hurts, but it's nothing compared to the pain he gave to Blandine. He deserve this, the old man deserve this. Anyone who hurts Blandine deserves every kind of pain in the world.

"Are you dead?" Magnus asked and kicked the elder who triggered Blandine.

It's been three days of punishing himself, it has been three days since he caught this fucking old man triggering Blandine. Three days had passed since he hurt her, and he's receiving his deserved punishment. Lashing himself will never be enough, but atleast he's been hurt as well. He's used to lashing himself that's why the pain is nothing new to him. He needs more pain for atonement. Shall he ask the knights to slash him in half and thread his body back? Ah, freak, he's more frustrated because the the old man beside him is not responding anymore.

Fuck. He let the old man lash him almost a hundred everyday, and he just lashed the elder on their third day. It's just three lashes and the old man is already unresponsive. Weakling. He was about to lash the elder again unconscious but he remembered Blandine. She probably won't like this, hurting someone again. So instead of knocking the old man dead, he just directed the thick chains on his back and began hurting himself again.

He's used to the pain but he still reacts whenever the thick chain slaps his back. His voice echoes throughout the place, it's agonizing. No one would know he's doing this, no one. Not even a single person would understand an insane guy like him.

He frustratedly turned to the old man who looks lifeless with three lashes, "Wake up before I slaughter your clan."

But the old man did not respond at all. Magnus rolled his eyes and continued hurting himself as his voice echoed in the dark chamber that smells nothing but blood and rusty metals.

"Ah, he passed out." he growled, "Haah, you did not even wait for the fourth day old hag." he stopped lashing himself and gripped the old man's head with a dark face, "Fuck you, don't ever talk to Blandine like that, ever again."

Magnus kept on hurting himself, he'll rest for a few minutes to get his strength back to lash himself again. People might think he's crazy for doing this, but he guess he is indeed insane. Who would fucking do this? A sane person would never do this. Perhaps, Magnus is losing his mind. But he don't care what other people might say. He deserve this, so he'll keep doing this until Blandine forgives him which is impossible. That only means his chances to stop hurting himself will be impossible as well.

***

IF the Oracle did not come to convince him to stop, Magnus would not even bother to stop until the fifth day. If the Grand Emperor did not come to visit, he would never get out of that dark chamber until he's lifeless. If not for his Imperial robe, his fresh scars will be seen. He looks as if he's not even in pain but that's actually the opposite, everytime the fabric of his suit touches his skin, he secretly writhes in pain.

It hurts.

The Grand Emperor paid a visit with the third Emperor from the third empire. What an unlucky day, the people of his vibes are in the same table as him. The servants might even faint due to the heavy ambiance. Only the Vassilys could take such atmosphere, hefty and darkly loaded.
