Ira could barely keep her sanity. She caressed his head on her lap as she continued to hold him. She was trembling badly and the words she wanted to say were somehow stuck in her throat.Shiv could barely breathe. His unique yet beautiful eyes were filled with sadness and regret. He couldn"t believe that Aditya his closest friend and trusted subordinate betrayed him...
But he couldn"t bring himself to resent him for what he did, instead he could perfectly understand why he did that to him. After all he just wanted to protect his family... But in the process, he seemed to have forgotten that Ira was also his family...
Ira was terrified to see him slowly drifting away.
"Shiv! Shiv, look at me! Don"t leave me! Please... Please... I love you... Shiv.... *cries* Shiv... Please... Are you not the great demon lord? How could you let this mere wound affect you? Shiv... Please! Don"t leave me.... Please...." Ira continued to weep as she pleaded to him to stay with her. She also understood the wound that he incurred was not something simple. Aditya"s sword pierced him through his stomach all the way that half of his sword was inside him.
Ira was scared to pull out the sword as she was afraid that he might instantly bleed to death if she does. Even for him, the wound was deep, there was absolutely next to no chance for him to survive.
She deeply regretted the fact that she used a powerful spell to attack that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. If only she had not done that, she could have easily healed him. But nothing could be done now...
Shiv was dripping in and out of consciousness. He recollected the memories he had with Ira. It was because of her appearance that he was able to come across the feeling called "Love". She was like a moon that entered into his dull life, gently embraced his heart that longed to be loved. He was like a star that was scared to blink for he was afraid that if he blinked, his moon will gradually fade away and disappear.

If she were to leave him after living her lifespan, he would go crazy without her next to him. Thus he shared his blood with her. If a demon made a blood pact with a human, once that human dies, the demon will die along with them.
But the thing he never expected was, it would be him who would be leaving her first. He had a lot of regrets. He still wanted to stay with her, have their own cute children, build a happy and beautiful family which he never had and finally grow old and die together with her.
Even though his wishes were something very normal and simple in everyone"s eyes, it meant the world to him. It was something that he had always longed for, "A family".
Even though the time they spent were short it was enough to leave an everlasting impression in his heart.
While they were immersed in their own world, the man in black chuckled as he slowly approached them. Before they could even react, he pulled out the sword from Shiv"s body with sheer strength.
Aditya reflectively pushed him aside as he ran towards Shiv and pressed down on the wound. But his actions proved to be futile as the blood gushed out from his wound tainting the floor red.
Ira freaked out seeing so much blood oozing out from his body. Her heart piercing wail echoed the whole palace. She felt like her heart was being twisted with a knife. She wished she was the one who got stabbed instead. She started trembling with the fear of loosing him. That day was supposed to be a banquet. She was supposed to be happy together with him. But never in her wildest dream would she have thought it would be the day for her to loose him. She finally decided to open her heart to him... But now....
He reached out to her with his hand which was stained with his own blood as he gently wiped away her tears. His eyes were filled with love. In such a situation, he managed to pull off a beautiful yet painful smile.
Seeing his smile, hurted her heart. She understood that it was a sign, a sign saying farewell. She held his hand closer to chest and continued to weep. She could hear her heart being crushed and broken into multiple pieces.
He silently prayed under his breath, "If there is rebirth, I hope we can meet again... You will always be my only one... one true love...."
He gradually slipped out of consciousness. His eyelids felt heavy as he tried his best to get one last look of her beautiful face. After a short while he fell into a deep and peaceful sleep....
Ira"s mind became a mess. Aditya couldn"t even bring himself to cry. He felt guilty for the crime he committed against his friend. He simply stood there rooted in his place like a statue.
Aarav and Lady Mia couldn"t believe their eyes. Aarav was so angry that he mindlessly charged at that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. But he stood no chance against him as he was terribly weak due to the poison.
That man didn"t stop with just defending himself. He went ahead and attacked. His sword skill was amazing. Each of his strike were heavy and fast at the same time.
Aarav stumbled on his steps as the sword on his hand slipped and fell. Taking that as a chance, that man, mercilessly thrust his sword on his chest. Blood oozed out from his wound as he fell dead on the cold floor.
Seeing the scene, Lady Mia stumbled on her steps and fell. Aditya was frozen on his spot seeing his brother getting killed by that man.
"Why? Why did you kill him?" Aditya"s voice was shaking from anger as he spoke.
The man had a smug look on his face as he spoke in a nonchalant manner.
"My purpose with these people are done. I don"t have anything that serves any more purpose to me." He stared at him calmly as if he was scrutinizing him.
"But... how about you become one of my men? You can still be useful... If you come to my side, I can give you half of the world!"
Hearing his words, Aditya glared at him with murderous intent.
"You live up to your name, you d.a.m.n Snake! How... How dare you!?" Aditya charged at him as he balled his fists. The man didn"t even react when he knocked him senselessly. He was beaten black and blue but Snake didn"t kill him. Instead he went for his mother.
Lady Mia calmly stood up as she went near the man while Abi was holding onto the unconscious Araa tightly.
Seeing her coming to her death on her own accord made the man a little surprised. "Varma"s are indeed something! Not giving up even though you have been defeated huh?"
Snake painfully twisted her hand that pointed the dagger towards him and stabbed her with it. Lady Mia groaned in pain as she cursed him. Her body was glowing as mysterious powers surrounded her.
"You... you will never have a peaceful death... for the sins you have committed are many... I curse...." But before she could finish her curse, he grabbed her throat as he violently hit the back of her head against the wall with a loud "THUD"!
"d.a.m.n! That was close! I was nearly cursed by a Varma! Now just die quietly!" He continued to bang her head against the wall with full force until she was covered in blood.
Ira who lost all hope was forcefully pulled back to reality by Abi.
"Sister... I am so scared! That man is killing everyone..."
Ira"s eyes looked dead. Her heart died along with Shiv. She was just a breathing corpse...
