"Who are you?" it asked, and I just grinned. I hadn't done anything yet, but fear was already shaking through it.
"We're the ones who'll kill you," Keys said.
"You shameless people! Who do you think you are? Let me go!" the woman shouted like a rooster crowing incessantly. She was loud. I approached her and punched her face to silence her.
"That's because of your noise!" Dave commented.
"Who are you?" it repeated. I grinned and grabbed a jaw. I was getting annoyed; I wanted to kill her.
"Don't you really know us?" Keys asked. I released the jaw of the woman, letting her recognize me.
"No, I don't know who you are!" she shouted again, causing pain in my ears.
"Oh, how poor are you? You might as well die; you still don't know us?" Keys taunted. I stopped Keys and approached the woman again, this time bringing my face closer to hers. I wanted her to recognize me, and I saw her suddenly turn pale. I stepped back, grinning.
"D---Devil P---Princess?" she stammered. At least she recognized me.
"You do know our princess," I said.
"I haven't done anything to you! Devil Princess, please spare my life... release me, please..."
"Are you sure you're innocent?" Keys asked.
"I am! I really am, I can't remember opposing you, Devil Princess!" she said. I just grinned at her. I reached for the whip from Dave, and he quickly handed it over, now adorned with thorns. So she could truly feel the pain. I struck her repeatedly, and with each hit, she screamed. I was laughing like a demon. Now, let them experience my wrath. They challenged me, so I would make them understand why someone like me is feared.
"Enough, please... I haven't done anything to you! Please... enough..." she cried. I stopped, as I had a better plan in mind.
"What's our next move?" Dave asked. So, I dragged the woman to the chair I had prepared, with balloons on either side of her face. Then, I grinned at her.
"Don't move, or you might die early..." I whispered to her.
"What are we going to do next?" Keys asked. "Is there a birthday and balloons there?" he added.
"This is what we'll do. We'll use a fire-tipped arrow. The mechanics are simple. You just need to hit the balloons on her sides. If you hit the apple on her head, you get a reward from me. What do you think?" I explained.
"What's the prize?" Keys asked.
"It's a secret, you'll find out. Don't worry, if I say it, I'll do it," I assured. They smiled.
"Okay, this looks fun," Dave said.
"I forgot, you need to blindfold yourselves again. Like before, just to entertain me," I told them.
"Nah, how about that? It's difficult when you ask us to. You know we're weak when blindfolded. What if we accidentally hit her head, she might die..." Keys hesitated. He was too scared. It seemed like he hadn't killed anyone yet.
"No problem, if she dies, then she dies," I said. He sighed. "You're too nervous, Keys. What happened to your courage?" I asked.
"Okay, okay! Just don't get mad at me if I kill her!" he said.
"Of course, don't worry..."
"Fine, I'll go first, Keys!" Dave volunteered.
"Sure..."
Keys blindfolded him, and the arrow was prepared. I instructed them to proceed. I saw the extreme fear in the woman we targeted.
"What are you planning? Why is he blindfolded? They might hit me! Please, don't treat me like this. I haven't done anything to you!" she cried.
"Hey, don't move too much. I even placed a dagger above your head!" I warned her. She was visibly pale with fear. I did put something on her head. It was her problem; I had warned her. If she struggles, the dagger I placed might fall off anytime.
"There, can't you see anything?" Keys asked.
"Yes..."
"Come on, she's already burning!" Keys said. Dave released the arrow, but it didn't hit any balloon. However, it hit the woman on her side. She screamed in pain; it must be hot.
"Enough, Kair. The girl is pitiful..." I grinned at her and approached her, slapping her to wake her up. She was too pitiful now. What was happening to this woman?
"Do you feel sorry for her? Go ahead, comfort her. I'll shoot the arrow. I'll make sure to hit her head, okay? Are you pitying her or yourself?" I asked her. I grinned at her; she was almost fainting due to fear.
"Kair, come on. You're too much!" she just sighed and returned to my seat. I watched Dave's last shot, but it still didn't hit anything.
"Damn, what's that! I didn't hit anything! What a waste of a prize..." Dave complained. Next was Keys, who wore the blindfold and handed the arrow and bow to Dave. He aimed at the opponent, and his hands were visibly shaking.
"Keys, what's wrong? Be firm!" I shouted.
"Fine!" he shouted, releasing the arrow he was holding. But it didn't hit. So, for the second time, he hit her, but this time, it was on the woman's shoulder.
"Sigh, thanks. I didn't hit anything..." Keys said. I stood up and approached them.
"Dave, watch over Keys. He's become too scared!" I told Dave.
"Sorry, Kair..." Keys apologized.
"Tch. You two handle it! Make it difficult for her before showing it to your skilled boss! I'm leaving; I have somewhere to go!" I said and approached the woman, kicking her in the stomach even though she was unconscious. After doing that, I left.
