- This is done too... - German sighed in the car, on the way home - Now we're gonna wait...
He paused for a minute.
- Bertuccio.
- Yes, Sir? - Bertuccio replied immediately as he was in the car too.
- Have you heard anything about Maximilien Morrel?
- He's gonna be home soon, Sir. I was informed that he was injured in the war so he has to come back to Paris soon.
- Serious injury?
- No. He'll be fine.
- That's good - German sighed in relief.
By now probably all the readers could find out who Maximilien Morrel is, but if not...
His father was the captain of the ship and also the boss of the company German was working for when he was young.
The only people that never betrayed him at all and exactly this is why he wants to find out what's up with them and help them out somehow if it's necessary.
Surprisingly when he arrived home he wasn't alone.
He had a guest and that was Albert.
- Ah, Albert - German said, rather a bit annoyed - I'm surprised to see you here.
- I apologive if I'm bothering you, count... I just wanted to talk to you for a moment.
- Go ahead. What is it?
- Uh...
"Crap... I might was a little too harsh" - thought German.
- I just wanted to invite you to a hunt that we're going to with my father.
- Okay... I'll see if I'm be able to go - German replied, slightly frustratedly as he has been feeling uneasy for a while, but not that type of uneasiness that he felt with Angie.
This is something more dangerous.
- I'd love to see you there! I want to show you how good I am in shooting!
- I'm sure you're good, but uh...
- I am!
- Albert!
- What?
- Can you leave now? I really don't want to be rude, but I need to tale care of some more things today...
- Ah! Uh... Okay... Then on Sunday!
German just nodded as Albert walked out.
Luckily he left quick enough to not to see what happened to his beloved count next.
German has been having some serious pain that was caused by an actual demon.
I know, calling out a demon is really weird, but this is the truth.
He didn't know where did that come from, or how can it go away.
All he knew was that the demon was helping him staying strong hmand having enough power to do everything he has done so far alone.
Although there are also some really hard moments for him and when those hard moments come the demon causes him so much pain.
To him it feels like the thing wants to come out of him, destroy everything which once have already happened and with that German killed 10 dangerous thiefs with his own bare hands.
- German, calm down! - said Ramallo as he went into the room, where German was trying to calm himself down by throwing things away, not trying to hurt anyone, with his eyes turning from brown to red.
- Get out, Ramallo! - German shouted - Not the good time to interrupt!
- It is a good time for me to inerrupt when my closest friend needs me! - he said as he suddenly punched him with all his energy.
This is the only way to make the demon calm down as well and when Ramallo punched German it worked again.
He panted while his eyes and behaviour turned back to normal again.
- Thank you... - German sighed.
Ramallo just shaked his head before walking out of the room....
