I Favor The Princess

Chapter 3

*Suisei Pov

I shut both of my eyes in order to acclimate to the immense pain I felt. However, despite my eyes being shut, I could still see what was in front of me. I touched my hand to my forehead, noticing everything was engulfed in darkness.

"Sui-chan, you have a third eye..." Azki said. I knew she was right, but it wasn't only that this third eye gave me a significant boost in power.

"Yes, Azki-chan, are you afraid?" I asked. She began to laugh at my question like it was a jest.

"No, you're a softie..." She said. Clearly she was trying to vex me by saying this.

"I'm going to murder you, and I will enjoy it greatly!" I laughed. Azki just looked at me, letting out a pain-filled sigh.

"I can't talk you out of this. I never could. The only thing I can do for you is make you understand my point of view." Azki said

"I understand you as well as I need to..."

Azki sighed once again.

"Miko, was it? Please protect Sora-chan." Azki-chan requested

"Hmph-I was going to do that anyway!" Miko spat

For some reason, the fact that she was talking to the princess like she was some friend pissed me off more than anything else. She was being tricked by royalty. The only thing I could do for her was kill her and end all her suffering. She needs money, but when she's in Hell she won't need to worry about that.

I reached in my weapons pouch and grabbed four shuriken. I swiped my hand, throwing all of them at her. Then I used curse magic to duplicate them making cursed shuriken. She managed to deflect them with dark magic shuriken she made.

"Sui-chan, you know I won't fall for your magic." Azki-chan told me.

She was right. She knows everything about my magic, even the limitation I put on it. I can't curse things unless I hit cut them or make them bleed. I made this limitation because I really like to make things bleed, but here this may be a huge problem since Azki-chan isn't stupid.

The reason I wanted to find this grimoire was so I could try to bypass my limitations and also to expand my repertoire of spells. I need more curses to give people. The more ailments I know the better.

I seriously want to kill Azki-chan, but at the same time, killing her would be a waste since I could keep her alive to test my abilities.

"Azki-chan, what do you think about becoming my little mind slave?" I asked, while touching my axe yet again.

"Sounds fun as long as you are mine..." She said, aggravating me, she was being a difficult little piss ant on purpose...

"You bitch, stop mocking me!" I shouted. She shook her head in response.

"I'm not mocking you. I'm trying to help you." She claimed. She was always like this trying to be helpful. She really is going to make me want to kill myself at this point.

"Oh Azki-chan, I now remember why you're my friend!" I growled as I tightened the grip on my axe, clutching the handle. My nails dug into my skin due to how hard I squeezed the handle. The sight of my blood filled me with ecstasy.

"I want you to come at me. Please try to kill me, Azki-chan!" I laughed. She rolled her eyes.

"I will never kill anyone, especially you." She told me

"You were never like me. You don't want to see the blood of your victims. Hear them scream in agony as you tear them limb from limb. I have started dissecting some of my victims. As long as they're mangled corpses in the end, I don't give a damn. men, women, children, and the elderly. I'll kill them all. I don't care. It doesn't matter. Don't you agree, Azki-chan? Don't you think people deserve to die?"
