MY MAJESTY - SEASON 6 EPISODE 64

A few minutes passed, before a commotion was heard from the residence of Mr. Chapman. Calhoun picked up on Mrs. Chapman’s scream and Mr. Chapman shouting on top of his lungs. What a classic, thought Calhoun to himself. The berries that were in his hand had disappeared as he had eaten all of them, and he looked at the walls of the mansion that stood cold from where he heard the screaming and shouting of the people who were inside.

He gave it a minute, but just as he had expected, Theodore didn’t step out of the mansion.

Calhoun was not a vampire, but he was a demon who was able to assess the other demons’ strength. Compared to Mr. Chapman, the man named Theodore was less powerful, which would only make it difficult for Theodore to break free from Mr. Chapman’s clutches tonight.

Calhoun wanted to get the job so that he could buy medicine for his mother, and with that thought in mind, he exhaled the cold air through his lips.

Making his way towards the mansion’s entrance, he didn’t bother to knock. He touched the knob of the door and heard the door unlock itself. Hearing the sounds coming from the fighting place, he continued to walk in that direction. One of the maids of the mansion caught sight of the stranger, and her eyes widened,

“Who are you? Please sit in the drawing-room. Mr. Chapman is busy at the moment. Hello?” the maid tried to gain his attention.

“I haven’t come here to see Mr. Chapman,” replied Calhoun, making his way towards the stairs and climbed up.

When he reached the room from where the commotion was taking place,he noticed the door to be half-closed. Through the gap, he caught sight of a person’s hand on the ground. Someone was getting beaten up, and he didn’t have to guess who it was. Pushing the door open, he caught sight of Mrs. Chapman lying dead on the ground. On the other side, two demons had Theodore on his knees with his face covered in blood.

With Calhoun’s entrance, the four men’s attention fell on him. The two demons who worked for Mr. Chapman pushed Theodore down, standing on his legs while having a knife over his neck so that he wouldn’t be able to move.

“Never thought you’d be coming here,” said Theodore with a smirk on his face.

“You took longer than I expected and I need to get back. I wanted to ask you about the job,” responded Calhoun, staring at Theodore, who seemed unaffected even after badly being beaten. He gave Calhoun the impression that he enjoyed getting into trouble.

“Who the fuck are you?!” Mr. Chapman looked enraged, “Are you one more playthings of my wife?”

Calhoun didn’t bother to answer Mr. Chapman’s question, ignoring him as if he didn’t exist, and he asked Theodore, “When do you think I can start?”

Theodore laughed, enjoying Calhoun’s character as he seemed to be unusual. Mr. Chapman, on the other hand, looked bewildered by Calhoun’s question and for his audacity for not answering him.

Mr. Chapman didn’t order his two men to deal with Calhoun, but instead, decided to show the person his place. Pulling out a knife that was made of silver, he went straight to attack Calhoun, swinging his hands and Calhoun dodged it.

“How dare you two try to sleep with my wife!” Mr. Chapman demanded furiously, while misunderstanding Calhoun had come here to offer an indecent favour to his wife. He had gone out of town for some work and had told his wife he would return after two days, but he had completed the work sooner than expected. Returning home, he caught his wife red-handed in the bed with another man.

Calhoun moved his hands to stop the magistrate’s attacks that were faster than the other people’s attack, who he had met back in the village, who were sloppier.

When the magistrate raised his leg, Calhoun caught hold of it and threw him against one of the furniture. This only angered the magistrate more, and he ordered his men by looking at Theodore, “Kill him!” At the same moment, Mr. Chapman held the dagger tightly in his hand, ready to stab Calhoun for his arm to only be twisted and pushed against the wall.

Before one of the demons could slit Theodore’s neck, Theodore twisted his body, dodging the knife. He fought back the two demon servants who had earlier stood on his legs.

Mr. Chapman pulled out another dagger, but Calhoun snatched it, using it to stab the man’s hand and pinning it to the wall, having Mr. Chapman scream in pain.

“Did you kill her?” asked Calhoun in a bored tone, his eyes watching the demon who breathed heavily in anger. Mr. Chapman tried to free himself, but with Calhoun, who didn’t budge away from his spot, it was hard to do it.

Within a blink of an eye, Calhoun took the other dagger and pushed it behind the man’s back.

Mr. Chapman heard a thud on the floor as one of his men. The other person who had tried to go and help his master, Theodore caught the demon, and used the same knife that was previously held in front of his throat to drag it across the person’s neck and blood spluttered on the fancy carpet of the room.

“W-why do you care?! She is my wife! I will do what I want with her! How dare she betray me-”

“I am not interested in it,” Calhoun deadpanned. “I don’t think it’s good to keep you alive because of the damage that can be caused in the future,” he murmured to himself and the magistrate’s eyes widened.

“No! No! Tell me what you want! I will give you anything! If you need money-Ah!” Mr. Chapman winced when Calhoun pulled out the dagger, relaxing with the thought that Calhoun was going to negotiate with him.

But Calhoun stabbed Mr.Chapman and the man yelled, “AH!”

Calhoun had pushed the dagger right through the magistrate’s chest.

Stepping back, he let the body fall on the ground, joining the other three dead bodies that were already lying there.

Calhoun turned around and saw Theodore licking his hand that was covered in blood. He saw how Theodore was clearly capable of handling himself in the fight, yet it somewhere looked as if the man enjoyed the pain or was it the blood?

Theodore offered Calhoun a polite smile.

“Tomorrow morning, come near Huntingon tower bell. I will help you,” said Theodore when Calhoun started to walk away, and Calhoun raised his hand as if in agreement.

The next day Calhoun met up with Theodore, who had an eventful night as he had to move the bodies elsewhere so that the officials would not find out what or who had caused their murder. Thankfully, Le Bone’s town was far away from the villages where Theodore or Calhoun came from, making it easier to cover their tracks.

“Where are we going?” questioned Calhoun as they walked.

“To Madame Fraunces’ house. She’s the one who arranges the customers, and we get to fix the rates,” replied Theodore.
