Lord Killer mansion
Empire of Slovenia

There was a deathly pound against the front doors of Lord Killer’s mansion. A skinny, fragile butler answers the door and jumped in startlement.
Kanamoru was standing in front of him, covered from head to toe with dirt and blood. In his arms, held the weakened Anaza, who was also covered with dirt and blood.
The butler spoke. “Lord Sanaa, what brings you here? Surely not for any important business whatsoever. Lord Killer’s agenda says nothing of your arrival until next week.”
“I wish to speak with him, if you don’t mind. I’ve got a situation that only he could settle.” Kanamoru raises his head and gives the butler a death glare.
“V-very well then. I shall see you to him. Right th-this way.”
“There’s no need for that, my humble servant.” A sudden voice interrupts from the spiraling staircase
The butler stood up straighter. “y-yes, sir.” He walks out of the main hall.
The man from the staircase came into view. Lord Killer was a muscular man, 6’1”, with shocking blue hair. “Ah, lord Sanaa, what brings you here?” He notices the girl in Kanamoru’s arms and his eyes widen. “The girl?”
“I need you to keep her here until she wakes.” Kanamoru carries her to the living room and sets her down on a sofa.  “Just until she wakes.”
“You know I can’t do that, Sanaa,” Killer protests. “How should I explain to the other lords when they arrive? They can sense a human, especially her, just as well as you and I can. Do you expect me to lie to them?”
“Then tell them they have to deal with me if they can’t keep away from her.” He unclips the cloak he was wearing and covers Anaza. Kanamoru kisses her forehead, stands up and heads towards the door.
Killer follows and stops him before he reached the door. “Where are you going now, Sanaa?”
Kanamoru slightly turns his head back. “I’ve got some unfinished business to attend to.” He walks out the door and vanishes into the night.
Killer closes the door and looks back at Anaza, lost in a deep trance. “Some things I just don’t understand about you Sanaa,” He says to himself as he heads back upstairs.
