It had been three months since Max had saved Victoria. As he had promised, he went to see her from time to time. He had somehow saved her from Black's teeth in the last moment. He knew that she had her mind set on revenge & that she would have left unhesitatingly to get it; only to fall in death's hand again. To avoid her from killing herself in the thirst of revenge, he had to seduce her to forget going after Black for revenge. He knew that what he was doing was kind of... improper, according to his principles. But he had to do what he had to, to save the girl.
Before going back to his time in the present day world, he had promised Victoria that he would come back in time to meet her, at least once in a week. It was simple for him to keep his promise for past three months because he didn't have many jobs to do. He had killed two serpents in the burrows in the grasslands of Ireland in the present, assassinated a chamberlain who was getting orders from an unknown demon to manipulate pope in Rome by poisoning him in the crowds with a blade, discovered the secret about silent killings in an alley in Greece and finally got to confront a Leviathan on his voyage back to England by sea; though he had his left arm almost ripped out while he tried to finish it. It was one of his most dangerous adventures. He couldn't kill it due to the Leviathan's upper hand in sea. Even if he was a demon having powers of seas & oceans, he couldn't do anything when he had high fever. His fellow crew had died, but he managed to save few passengers. Death had given him another blow & yet he managed to slip past it again. Thanks to his demon blood his arm mended itself it bit. Any normal human would have lost his arms by that kind of injury. His sword had cracked down. Funnily, that was the only thing which made him sad.
When he had went back in time after this incident, Victoria was screaming in anger at him while tending his wounds. This was something unusual for him. No one had cried for him, while tending his wounds at the same time; specially a girl.
"Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" Victoria kept on mumbling in anger, as her moist eyes remained red. "What kind of idiot you are to go after that thing? You could have died there!"
She cleaned his wound even if he had told her that he had already cleaned it. But the thing was he knew she couldn't help herself from taking care of him. He opened his mouth to reply but instantly went silent as he looked in her terrifying stare at him. He sometimes would become like a small cowering kid below her stare at such times.
"And on top of it all, you are just acting like a baby on loosing that sword!" she continued on as took the lotion & dripped cotton in it, putting it on his wound.
"But, it was my best sword for demon hunting" he piped up in small voice.
Victoria glared at him & snapped instantly, "Here comes up that demon hunting thing again. So many times I have told you, leave those stupid jobs! Your life is in constant danger because of it. Why don't you understand?"
Max looked away & replied, "But this is the only thing I am good at dear. I am a half demon too."
Victoria gave him a cold stare; under which he cowered. He looked beside at his maid for some help. But even she had the same look as Victoria in her eyes. "Aw come on! Even you appear to be on her side Emilie."
The maid straightened herself, holding the tray securely which had the vials of potions on it. She spoke in her humble but straight voice, "Yes indeed. You appear to be getting into troubles again & again Master. It is not good for you or either of us, who depend on you. You need to exercise control on what jobs you take. If you don't then I can't help you with Madame Victoria punishing you."
Max's jaw fell open, seeing his faithful maid leave his side & teaming up with Victoria. Victoria smiled victoriously beside him & snapped the bandage tight on his arm. He gasped in pain as the young lady tried to be strict with him.
"But" snapped the maid instantly, "You shouldn't be so aggressive on Master too, Madame Victoria."
Victoria obviously didn't expect this. The sudden heated & strict words of their maid also made her jaw drop, upon which Max sniggered silently. Victoria looked away & nodded.
"Well anyway" Max cleared out his throat, "It's getting late Emilie. You head out to your room." Emilie nodded before him & bowed a bit.
"Good night Master" said the maid with a humble smile & went out.
"Now then, you lady, you head out to your room" he said to Victoria. He could see that she clearly didn't like being scolded by his maid. He patted her head chuckling, "Ha-ha. What happened dear?"
He saw that she seemed to realize that he was talking to her only when he patted her head.
"What?" she asked to him.
Max repeated again, "Ha-ha. I said you head to your room, young lady."
Victoria smiled widely at him, "Um you mean 'our' room right my love?" Her hands went around his waist. Max understood that she was implying to get naughty. Max was tired from his travels over world & the time dimensions. He didn't actually have any energy left in his body to get naughty along with her in bed. He did not want to make her sad, but was tried searching for an excuse to evade the circumstances of making her sad.
He smiled a bit defensively & said, "Oh. Um I am sorry dear. But you see- this arm can't do anything to satisfy you tonight... & few more nights too."
He saw Victoria's face falling disappointed.
"It's ok" she said with a small understanding smile. Although he could clearly tell that she really wanted him badly.
"I am sorry again dear" he said to her. He got up & held her hand in his, pulling her up to her feet, and guided her to her room. He went in, made her lie down on the bed & lied along with her. He clicked his fingers. The candle-lights in the room vanished, making it dark & quiet. The atmosphere changed. It suddenly seemed so peaceful. Her hand came upon his chest. He kept his hand on hers as she snuggled into him. He pulled the white sheets over them & closed his eyes.
