In half a month Andrei had become stronger, but he hid it. He trained stealthily, hiding it even from those he now called his sisters. He didn't want them to be in danger, Raftalia and Rifana had become very dear to him. He tried to protect them, but unfortunately they got beaten up too, Andrei himself wanted to kill Rabier more and more every day. Especially after the recent events when Rifana was returned to the cell completely beaten and wounded. There was fear in her face and something else she didn't say. In addition, some of the other prisoners had disappeared after being taken to Rabia, which made Andrei even more suspicious, but he didn't know what lay ahead.

But at the moment he wasn't strong enough to destroy all his current enemies, he had to become even stronger and when he got the weapon he would get what he was waiting for. Right now he was sitting in the cell next to Raftalia and they were talking to each other. They were like real brother and sister, he gave her all the food they were given, but even that didn't help her not to be exhausted.

At that very minute one of the guards came to the cell and opened the bars, then he came up to Andrei and kicked him on the leg and started talking.

- Mr Rabier wants to see you. So get up and go, or I'll have to drag you in already beaten up. -

Andrew shrugged his shoulders as usual and smiled at Raftalia and followed the guard who was already stretching his arms. Andrei smiled at Rifana and began to speak softly.

- I'll be back soon, and when I'm back I'll tell you something. -

Raftalia and Rifana nodded, but before that Rifana's face became sad and she started to speak.

- Andrei, please be careful.

Andrei looked at her and wanted to say that everything would be alright. But he noticed the fear in her face, as if she knew something that others didn't know, but didn't know what to say.

Andrew did not stop for a long time, but after getting a big club on his back he had to go forward and after a while he was at the very room where he was tortured more than once. But as it turned out this was not where he was going today. The guard showed him the way and told him that Rabier was waiting for him in his private office. This made Andrei even more suspicious, but he decided not to ask any questions and calmly went where he was directed.

When he got there, the guard opened the door and pushed Andrei in. He looked around, the room was a purple-red colour with gold trim in some places. But that didn't really surprise Andrei, to his mind it was the very excesses of a man who enjoyed his position and was clearly not mentally normal. He shook his head slightly and only now looked at the table where Rabier was sitting. He was eating and drinking, but he looked at the man who had entered and began to speak with a small smile.

- The dog is here at last, I've been waiting for you. Sit down, eat, I don't think you've ever had such a meal. -

Andrei looked at Rabier and began to answer.

- I need to eat with you, you nutcase.

Rabier only smirked at these words and began to speak with an unacceptable calmness.

- Sit down and eat, when such an offer comes along, you can't refuse. Or should I ask your escort to sit you down. -

It was disgusting for Andrei to eat his tormentor's food and side by side with him. But he had to sit down, and then he looked at the food itself. Fried chicken, various greens, salads, not much fruit. Including wine, seeing all this in his mouth Andrew had a lot of saliva, which he swallowed and tried to concentrate. But his stomach rumbled, his hands trembled and he could barely control himself. Rabier noticed this and began to speak again with a strange calmness.

- Eat, you're probably giving most of your portion to that girl and her friend. Come on, you need your strength for what's to come, and drink your wine. You're as dumb as you are, you've never tasted it. -

Andrew did not answer anything, but his hands took a fork and knife and began to eat the food that was on the table. He was disgusted with himself, tears flowed from his eyes, tears of disappointment towards himself. But in spite of this the hunger was too strong and the body seemed to overpower him to eat. Eventually Rabier himself held out a glass of wine to Andrew, his trembling hand took the glass and drank the wine. After that Andrei himself set down the glass and lowered his head. Tears of self-pity were coming from his eyes, he hated himself for this weakness and decided to speak without raising his head.

- Why, why did you set the table, why did you let me eat! You are a fanatic who hates people like me! -

Rabier clapped his hands lightly and began to speak.

- Oh, how I wanted to see your face like that. How pathetic you are, I managed to break you a little bit. At this rate, you'll probably go back to normal, repent to God. Now get up, let's go over the old routine. -

Andrei got up from the table, wiped away the tears and activated the rage so as not to feel pain as usual. Rabier in his turn took a whip from the wall, then stood behind Andrei's back and began to beat his body with it. Andrei did not feel the pain as it was less than fifty per cent, Rabier made a couple more strokes on Andrei's still body and stopped. He stood in front of him and with a hard stare began to speak.

- Have you broken down in sensitivity, or do you have some secret, you bastard? Don't you feel nothing, how interesting, hmm, maybe I should invite one of those little girls. -

Andrei immediately felt angry and wanted to attack Rabier, but not waiting for him was already held by the guard and his mate, who came in unnoticed. Rabier came closer and grabbed Andrei by the chin and began to speak.

- Oh, I've hurt your feelings demon. You know, I think I've figured out what will make you scream in pain, both bodily and mentally. -

Then he looked at one of the escorts and started talking.

- Bring that chair and the crystal ball. I want to see that demon tortured. Oh, I almost forgot, bring a couple of elixirs against sleep and recovery. -

Andrei looked at the slave and almost growled a question.

- What are you up to you bloody bastard, what the hell do you want to do again. -

Rabier shook his head unhappily and licked his lips and pulled a knife out of his pocket. Then he began to speak.

- I don't like the way you talk to me, how many times you insult me. Should I cut out your tongue? But no, I'll do with a couple of scars on your cheeks for now, maybe it'll even brighten up your green demon eyes. -

He brought the point to one upper part of his cheek near his eye, then made a good cut. Enduring it Andrew clenched his fists and prepared for the next cut. Rabier did so and began to speak.

- Now you are a cat, but without cat ears. It's a pity that to sew them will not be very convenient, but nothing, now you will know the pain that no one has ever known. -

At that very moment, a chair with shackles and a crystal ball were dragged into the room. The chair was placed by the table, and the crystal ball was placed on the table, and then Andrew was brought there.

He was seated against his will, his arms and legs were fastened, his neck was also fastened so that he could not twist it. Before his eyes was a crystal ball, he could not turn away and did not know what awaited him. Only now Andrew felt a fear he had never felt before, he felt that something was about to happen that would break him even more.

Rabier came closer and touched the balloon and started to speak.

- Enjoy the show that is about to take place, there will be a surprise in between, for this we will need demon elixirs. -

Andrei wanted to spit at Rabier or curse, but the orb lit up with a blue light and an image appeared there. In the reflection was Raftalia and Rifana, Andrei realised what was about to happen and began to speak.

- Please don't hurt them, I beg you. I'll take any punishment, just don't hurt them. -

Rabier shook his head negatively and gave a reply.

- Perhaps not, you demon should know this torment. -

At that very second, Raftalia and Rifana began to be tortured. They were broken fingers, arms, legs, and left deep wounds. eventually Andrei had to watch as his sisters were abused. But that was not the worst, when it was over, knives were brought to their necks and their throats were cut.

When Andrei saw this, he couldn't hold back his tears and began to speak.

- No! No! Why are you doing this to them! I told you I'll accept anything you do against me! Raftalia, Rifana, I'm sorry. -

Tears flowed from Andrei's eyes and he wanted to kill himself by biting off his tongue. But Rabier put his hand on his shoulder and began to speak.

- It's not bad, is it? It's a very realistic illusion. Now let's play with your body, or rather with your feet and hands. -

Immediately after these words, the second part of Andrei's torment began. His fingers were broken, both on his hands and feet, muscles were cut and needles were inserted. But when he was done, he was given an elixir of restoration, the wounds healed, but Andrei felt pain that was much more than fifty per cent.

He was given elixirs against sleep to keep him awake. After that it was over and over again.

After five hours it was finally over. Andrei was pulled out from behind the chair and could barely stand on his feet. His arms and legs were shaking, his body was wobbly, and his eyes were dark and did not give off the light they had before, you would have thought Andrei was broken, but he retained his mind.

Rabier walked up to him and began to speak again.

- You're not broken enough yet, hmmm, and you're a strong demon. But that's okay, you're about to learn a little secret of mine, and I'll tell you something. -

He went to the door that was behind the curtains, Andrew on wobbly legs led forward and he went into this room, what Andrew saw there shocked him. They were child-sized porcelain dolls that looked like the missing prisoners, but something told Andrei that they were not just dolls.

Rabier made a satisfied grin, then spread his arms and spoke as if with bliss.

- You recognise them, you certainly do. They used to be demonic brats, but now they are angelic beauty. By the way, it's a very labour-intensive job pouring porcelain and embalming them at the same time. But it's worth it, they're beautiful and they're no longer demonic creatures. -

Andrew realised he was standing around the bodies of people he occasionally spoke to, whose names he knew. They had once been alive, but now they were dead and had become the playthings of a madman who thought he was a god's helper. Andrei's body went to war and he threw up everything he ate, he fell to his knees and began to whisper.

- Bastard, madman, fanatic, bitch. -

His body shook in different directions and Rabier started laughing, while he began to speak with a chuckle as he once did.

- I finally broke you demon. That's it, now all that's left is to make you perfect before you repent of your sins and you'll be perfect too. Just like your mates. -

Hearing this Andrei came to his senses, he jumped up and jumped on Rabier, then started beating his face and growling like a beast.

- You. You won't! This! You're going to die you bastard! -

He was immediately tackled from both sides, but he lashed out and rage raged through his body. Unfortunately the escort had backup, his legs were kicked and he felt them crunch, they buckled and he fell. He was grabbed very tightly and Rabier wiping the blood from his face began to speak.

- You filthy bastard, you seem to be against this fate. Well, all right. But know that I'll do the same to one of the girls someday. Oh, that's right, I was gonna tell you why that grey-haired one came in so quiet. Heh-heh, she screamed when I took her virginity. -

Andrei heard every word, but he couldn't get back at Rabier and just listened to what the madman had to say.

- I'll send you and one of them somewhere far away, sell you. And I'll keep one of them for better times. But before I do that, I want to leave you a memento of myself, a faithful servant of the lord. -

He immediately grabbed Andrei's left hand and cut off the ring finger. But that wasn't the end of it, he ripped off his shirt and started carving an inscription on his back, in the end it came out - Foul blooded subhuman. -

With the knife Rabier was satisfied and made sure that even if the scar was formed, the inscription could be read. Then he licked his lips ravenously and began to beat Andrei across the face. From these blows, fatigue and pain he lost consciousness.

Andrei woke up in the wagon. There were no more wounds, but he felt the scar and remembered what was written there. But he also felt someone sleeping on his lap, it was Raftalia.

Andrei looked at her and tears flowed from his eyes. He realised that she was here, but Riphana was there and Rabier would torment her. In that moment he swore he would be a hero for saving them and changing Melromark by any means necessary.
