Empty Ruler
Between Life and Death

Heartfilia Imperial Palace, my private room.

I lay on the bed using Sapphire thighs as my pillow. A knock on the door sounded.

"Come in" said Sapphire.

The one who appeared was Shiraori and behind her was Madaras who followed while bowing his head.

"Hmm, Shiraori and Madaras sisters did you come here because you missed our husband" Sapphire said with an ambiguous smile.

"Yes" Shiraori said briefly.

Madaras was silent and kept his head down, but his ears turned red.

"My husband, Madaras seems to be angry with me, It must be because I monopolized you" Sapphire said regretfully.

I didn't expect Sapphire to have a rather mischievous personality. Mumbles.

"Madaras, are you really angry?" I said as I walked towards her and hugged her.

"I'm not angry" said Madaras slowly.

"Madaras, may I kiss you?" I said quietly in his ear.

"Hmm" said Madaras, nodding his head.

Without a second thought I kissed her and stuffed my tongue into her mouth, she greeted her with her tongue, subconsciously I felt her whole body which made her sigh softly.

After half an hour we finished our kiss due to lack of oxygen, Madaras gasped for breath and leaned against my chest, and a happy smile appeared on his lips.

"Hoh, looks like you're having fun with Zeldris"

An old man's voice appeared in the empty air.

"This voice, you" I said in surprise.

A chain appeared in the empty air and bound my entire body.

"Fuck, this is the Holy Magic Tool" I said angrily.

"Master" Shiraori frantically slashed the chain with her scythe, but the scythe broke instead.

"My husband" Sapphire also slashed the chain using his sword which ended up breaking his sword.

"My dear, what should I do?" Madaras said frantically while trying to hug me, but the chains grew in the empty air and bound me, not even to approach me could.

"You don't have to worry, I will..."

I was dragged into the space gap before finishing my sentence.

Bastard, I haven't even said goodbye to my wife. I grumbled.

"You don't have to do it, because you may not be able to come back alive."

The voice of the old man appeared in the empty air.

"You don't have to do anything unnecessary". The voice sounded back.

A sword as white as snow slashed down

my shoulders. At the same time I felt a cold hand pierce through my heart.

Fresh blood flowed through my shoulders and chest. I immediately jumped backwards to sniff out the sword of the enemy who was moving to attack again.

"Cring"

But I forgot that the chains still bind my body.

The sword slashed at my stomach and a gaping hole formed in my stomach, blood started flowing from my stomach.

"Yeah...."

I forced myself to take a deep breath to calm down.

My hands may be sweating and my heart is beating fast.

This chain disrupts the flow performance of Manaku. Even I am powerless against enemy attacks without using Mana.

A cold hand touched my neck and strangled me.

"Saddening, you're so pathetic Zeldris"

My whole body was cold and I couldn't move my whole body.

..

A place where there is nothing but white.

"Zeldris, what are you doing is standing idly by like a fool"

A voice woke my mind.

I looked towards that voice and there was a man who had a face, a body, a voice very similar to mine, others would think we were twins, but there was one thing that was different from me and him, the man had blood-red hair.

"Who are you?"

I looked at the man vigilantly.

"I am you, you are me"

"Are you talking nonsense, I have black hair while you have blood red hair"

"Zeldris, did you forget that this form of mine is your form when you unleashed the power of your ancient demon race bloodline"

"So what do you want?"

"Your body"

A sword has pierced my heart.
