CHAPTER 1:
YOUR MINE NOW

*＊✿❀ ❀✿＊*
Through the countless mountains in Luiye, (Y/N) can be seen stargazing them with her cold and analytical eyes that resemble a cat.
Ironically, she is a cat since she has a (F/C) tail and cat-like (F/C) ears. She is a demi-beast who once had freedom of which she was an innocent child, but now, fate has taken its lead-leading to her capture by humans and making her a slave.
She was chained up by both arms and legs, she wore an old-withered cloth that looked like a large towel with holes, and lastly, a burn mark on her left wrist that shows the number "𝟒𝟎𝟏" that indicates her being imprisoned by someone.
"HEY! WALK YOU STUPID BEAST!" An unknown male pushed her with force making her stumble from the ground. The male was agitated to the point of exploding in smithereen, "WHY ARENT YOU BEING SOLD OFF?! HOW ARE YOU NOT APPEALING COMPARE TO YOUR SIBLINGS?!"
(Y/N) stand up on her own, yet, the male pushes her once again. It was a pitiful sight, though the life of the people on the street continued to move forward as if she didn't exist.
It was an unfortunate fate because being born as a demi-beast held a belief from people that they were a pawn of the shinigami which made them take the initiative to detain them.
Just before the unknown male smacked her, Someone held the male's arms. It was a fellow with white hair, unusual clothing, a half mask, and a rather charming and masculine figure who was interrupting him.
"No need for my slave to get bruse, dear sir" His voice was deep and gruff as if of a royalty telling his servant to do his duties. Its whole figure alone resembles a mountain that never yields to any.
"W-WHO ARE YOU?! LET GO OF ME YOU FOOL!"
"Like I stated, I would like to buy her" He pointed his finger at the girl "All will be bought with mora, right? Here, indulge yourself with this silver box filled with gold" The male, as he said, brings a huge shimmering gold in his thick cloak.
The male was stunned yet excited. Buying someone with the use of gold was not its currency, but this gold where thick that each may contain a dozen compared to what the vendor was supposed to propose.
And just like that, everything went well because this white-haired male took (Y/N) by his arms and walked away while the vendor cheered in the background.
(Y/N) who's facial expression was still unsure-remained silent and stared at the male with eyes devoid of any life. No one can tell what's in her mind, her whole manner is like a costume without a host.
"What's your name, little girl?" He asks while turning his phase at the narrow dark alley.
"...(Y/N), what's yours, Mister?" Her cherry lips open, but what release was a faint tone. It's been many days, months, or years since she last spoke. She just now realizes that her tone finally matured.
"What a lovely name, (Y/N). My name is Pierorr" He gave (Y/N) a slight smile. Just that alone makes someone realize that his smile is rare, it's not something accessible to anyone because his whole viewpoint gives off a bossy impression.
They walk for a moment through the dim alleyway, until they reach someone. A boy, about the ripe age just like (Y/N) was leaning on the wall with a pipe of cigar on his lips.
The boy was ginger, had fair skin, and ocean eyes, and it left a deep impression of a delinquent. Though that impression was no less the truth.
"Tsk! Why took you so long? And why did you buy only one? Didn't you say that we'll be saving all of them?" He dropped the cigar, twisted it by his foot, and spoke in an irritated manner.
"Didn't I tell you to not smoke, Childe?"
"I turned 15 yesterday, who cares about that" He shrugged "Anyway, we gotta get out of here, the Millelith's already took suspicious of us. We can't take the risk-"
"HEY! STOP RIGHT THERE!"
"... Shit" Just as Childe presumed, a bunch of soldiers surrounds them from both sides. The Millelith was all armed, its spere was so sharp it twinkled when it hit the ray of the sun.
Childe took a dagger from both his waist and readied his stance. The dagger was no ordinary one because it was made of ice, it was a light-bluish colour that could cut through a thick wood just like a scissor cutting paper.
(Y/N) was gazing from both sides, not knowing what and where to take attention. But there's one thing her mind can think of, it was that she would be taken away again, though her face doesn't show concern whatsoever.
"YOU HARBINGER WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU BEEN DOING IN LUYEI! OUR LORD WILL MAKE YOU PERISH FOR IT!" One of the soldiers threatened.
"Eh? Your lord can suck my BALLS!" The boy retorted while giving them a mocking expression.
"YOU LITTLE-! SOLDIERS, ATTACK THOSE SCUMBAG!" Without second-guessing, the Milleliths from both sides dash towards them. All of them yelled, quite eager to pierce the spears at their enemy.
The boy grinned while feeling the bloodlust his been having for days. He dashes with full speed towards the other side of the soldier, its ice dagger was getting longer and sharper while letting out a faint smoke.
"Hold on tight, (Y/N)" Pierorr said while carefully letting (Y/N) inside his thick cloak. The girl didn't see a thing of what he was trying to do, the only thing she saw was a glimpse of a soft glow.
From his right hand, a rather peculiar book emerges from thin air. It had a crystal-like colour as if the ice was its main component, but what was baffling about this book was its large gem sticking on the front cover.
On the other side, which is where Pierott and (Y/N) were on standby, the soldier dashes forward "DONT LET HIM USE A SPELL! COME QUICK!" One Millelith muttered while getting closer and closer to its prey.
"Thou shalt be whiff, thus glaze let us drift!" With Pierorr letting out an unknown verse, smoke-filled with ice particles swirls beneath his feet before he flies off like a flit.
The impact causes the soldier to cover their eyes with their arms, and after a while, both Pierorr and (Y/N) were nowhere to be seen. They look around, not knowing where they have gone to.
But before they tried to move forward, their foot where froze from a thick crystallised ice. This also goes the same thing as the other side of which Childe was in, the soldier on his side where also stuck on the frost that Childe guessed that it was Pierott doing.
Childe jumped as high as he could while avoiding the spears. He was stepping on the heads of the soldiers so that he could sprint easily to the end of the alleyway.
Some soldier was trying to catch him, but to no avail, Childe sliced off their hands with one fell swoop when they attempted to do so while their blood spurts from the walls.
"ARGH!" Some soldier whose hands were sliced off-writhes in pain, but instead of being sympathetic-Childe smiles from the face of the action his currently partaking in.
The boy landed at the end of the alleyway, and after that, something glowed from his waist. It was light bluish, had a circle shape, and was hanging with a golden chain. It was none other than a-
"V-VISION?!" Every soldier where shocked from the mere sight of the glimmering gemstone that had a pattern resembling an ice.
"See you on the other side" Childe's arms motioned into a cross, after that, he swiftly spun his arms to both sides as it unleashed a white slash that cut all soldiers who were lining the alleyway.
The attack was instant, every single one of them never realised that death caught them because its cut was all directed through their heart and brain.
"HaHa! Now that was worth the shot!" He exclaimed while staring up into the sky where Pierott and (Y/N) were in. Peirott was floating with (Y/N) in his arms, his eyes were fixated at the far distance, Childe couldn't tell if he was even watching throughout his fight.
Pierorr's diamond eyes were far off in the distance where a huge palace where place. His expression was so focused that the gust of wind didn't falter his eyelid to close, it was the stare that showed an engraved wrath, yet that wrath was internal that no one could easily tell.
"Mister? That boy over there is calling you..." (Y/N) who tugs his ears softly making Pierott finally regain his outer consciousness.
"OLD MAN! LETS RETREAT! MANY SOLDIERS ARE RUNNING TOWARDS HERE!" Childe pointed his finger at the far side where a bunch of Millelith were swiftly striding, fully armed, and 10x more than the last one.
Pierorr took his last glance again before shooking his head, "Let's go" With that said, he landed on the pavement and ran alongside Childe.
(Y/N) whose gaze was still on Pierorr put on a questionable complexion. It was so sudden that she would be bought up by some unknown person, or more like a terrorist. Nonetheless, she felt a sting in her heart that the shackle that was once wrapped around it was now entangled.

"My dear King, the Harbinger began their uncanny activities once again"
Inside a large palace, at the top of the enclosed room, a figure of a man was sitting on his throne. His face was not visible because the light of the enormous window didn't reach his whole standpoint, though two glowing gold dots could be seen.
"Based on the sightseeing; they made a ruckus from the school institute, made a fight from a famous restaurant, and lastly, killed 22 of your soldiers. They were also a report where they bought a demi beast, they recall that it was that useless girl that the Harbinger bought" A female with luxurious long silver hair said with courtesy while taking close inspection of the sheet of paper she was holding.
She was in front and below the stairs of this unknown figure. Through this respectful announcement, she can't help but slightly blush from the small sight of her lord, 'I wish the Harbinger continue their doing so that I could get close to announcing something close to my lord' She thought.
There was a silence, and the silence turned into a gloomy ambience. His eyes drifted through the large window, and there he fixed his gaze on the large spiky mountain that looked like a border-separating the other side. The mountain was glowing in a yellowish pattern, it was no ordinary rock or soil.
"Let them be..." He stands up "I want this event to unfold, let fate decide and I shall see what destiny those Harbinger who disobey my authority" He walks toward the window as the sunlight finally hits him.
'He is so hot~!' The girl thought while drooling and blushing excessively, "What do you mean by "destiny", lord Zhongly?"
"Niguang, go check and inform the research. Tell them to get ready, for I will need them today. I can feel the winds and the sky telling me a huge event will occur"
"As you wish, my dear lord" With a bow, she walked off without questioning her lordship. She fully understood that his words were not an irrational order, but a prophet.
As the minutes walk went by, the corridor began to darken as flashes of torches began to lighten. Niguang, with a large stride, opens a huge door. This door was made of gold and had a sorcery mechanism by which the only one who could get inside was her and the other individual who was assigned.
The door opens as the cold breeze strikes her. She went inside, it was dim, but then light from below began to lighten.
The flashes of blue lights came from dozens of large capsules that were lining up from different sides, what was inside was unclear, the only thing visible was a blurry human-like figure, wires, flickering mechanics, and... visions that were all placed in a huge glass bowl on the middle of the chamber.
Suddenly, a twisted smile formed on Niguang's lips while holding her body with both of her hands "Oh~ lord Zhongly~! Imagining you happy with my completed task makes me quiver in pleasure~ hehe~"
