<h4>454 Tick Tock- Part 3</h4>


    Being the dutiful servant he was, Odin bowed his head, leaving behind Madeline and dimir in the room.


    "Now I see," it dawned in dimir''s mind. "I was wondering why there were uninvited guests in the castle, but this exins it." Suddenly, dimir started tough like someone had told him a joke, and hisughter echoed through the almost empty room. Madeline felt ufortable as it sounded malicious to her ears.


    dimir would have never guessed that, he would be meeting the dark angel today. Though he had heard a lot about the dark angel and the powers that came with it, he had never bothered to find it like the rest. dimir didn''t chase after things that others did. He had always been different, and it was because of Paschar did he realize how right his decision was, even if others saw it to be going against the Heavens.


    "Where is Paschar?" asked dimir, and Madeline shook her head.


    "I don''t know." Thest she had met Paschar was back in the church''s library?in the vige of Cossginton, and after that, the angel had note back to meet her again. "Wait. How do you know about him?"


    The smile on dimir''s lips broadened, "You can say that we go way back in time. I heard how he joined Heaven again, but if I were him, I would have not bothered because the Heavens have reduced his angelic abilities while also lowering his position. Don''t you believe in the saying, if you are doing something, do it right else don''t fucking do it? I do sympathize with you. Your life must have been rough, and you ended up with the King-"


    "Calhoun is a good person to me!" defended Madeline, "And I will be forever grateful to have met and known him. Things and people change Mr. Lazarus along with situations. You must have heard the saying: To know a person, you need to go up close and then find how he or she is. Calhoun wouldn''t have killed her-"


    dimir''s eyes turned cold, "The vigers have already testified that it was he who killed my daughter." At the same time, Odin appeared holding blood tea in his hand for his Master and offered it to dimir. The servant went back to stand next to Madeline, readying himself to turn the lever. dimir stared at the red blood and said, "Constance was the only person who mattered to me. I had no one else."


    Hearing this, the loyal servant''s eyes slowly moved to look at his master and dimir rolled his eyes. "You are not my daughter, Odin."


    Madeline frowned, hearing the name and whispered, "Constance?"


    "I-Is this the Belmont area?" Madeline whispered the question.


    "The only Belmont that is present in Devon," replied dimir. He was ready to signal Odin to finish the process of breaking her finger when Madeline rushed her words,


    "You have got the wrong person! The King you are looking for isn''t him but his father!"


    "You are lying," dimir scowled at her.


    Madeline continued to stare at dimir. If Constance was Calhoun''s mother, and if what this vampire said before was true, then that would mean this was Calhoun''s grandfather who had been hibernating! He did say he was sleeping when his daughter had disappeared!


    Seeing how Madeline stared at him, dimir turned his eyes at Odin, "Is this true?"


    Odin quickly shook his head and bowed, "I asked the vigers, and they said it was the King who was with Lady Constance and put her out of the castle before killing her."


    "There''s an inuracy in there!" said Madeline. "The King of Devon indeed hurt Lady Constance, but the King you are looking?for is dead."


    dimir was not happy hearing that the person he wanted to torture was not alive. "You are telling me that the current King didn''t kill my daughter? Calhoun Hawthrone?"


    Hearing how Madeline''s heart skipped a beat, dimir looked at her with rage filling back up in his eyes, and he closed the space between them and caught hold of her neck. "Are you trying to save him."


    Madeline felt the cold fingers of the vampire around her neck, and she closed her eyes.


    "Calhoun didn''t kill her because he wanted to. He was forced to do it so that he could end her sufferings. He loved his mother, Mr. Lazarus," she whispered before he could squeeze her neck.


    dimir let go of his hand instantly, "What did you just say?" He would have ripped the person''s gut for trying to make a joke about his daughter, but he sensed that this girl was speaking the truth.


    Madeline slowly opened her eyes, "Your daughter left Belmont and never returned because for a few years she lived in the Hawthrone''s castle with the previous King before she was forced to leave the castle. It was only a few days ago did I find out that someone tried to get rid of your daughter because of her closeness with the previous King. The person presented her a cursed chain that deteriorated your daughter''s health over the years, before she couldn''t take it anymore, Calhoun ended her pain. If you are looking for revenge, you should catch hold of that person, who presented the cursed chain and not Calhoun."


    dimir turned his gaze at Odin, who looked as if he was ready to pass out. "I will go verify the information, Master!" and he turned to a bat, disappearing from the room.


    Madeline then said, "The current King, my husband, whom you intend to kill, he is your grandson." And the straps that had been holding her suddenly opened, letting her free.


    "I have a grandson," murmured dimir, who took a few steps away from her as he immersed into a deep thought.


    Madeline pulled her hand out of the device, rubbing her wrists. Out of curiosity, she asked, "When did you meet the angel Paschar?"


    dimir''s eyes went back at the human before he responded, "When I was still in Heaven, living there. I haven''t met him after I left, thought I would meet him here but the fucker went back to Heaven." At the same time, a white cat appeared in the room, and it walked towards dimir. "Meet Lucy with the Fur. She takes after my name. She misses Constance''s presence."


    With the chaos and the other crazy things that had taken ce, Madeline took time to join the dots and she stared at the man in the room. "Y-you are the angel who turned to the dark side."


    dimir didn''t answer her question, but he had a frown on his face.


    "If he is my grandson, that would mean you are my granddaughter-inw. An angel," he stated, and then a wide smile spread across his lips. Seeing the smile, Madeline could tell that Calhoun had acquired his features from his grandfather. "My grandson married an angel. How wonderful."
