Mr. Dimitri's Toy
Sierra Betrayal

I lifted the hood from my brown robe to cover my face. The guards opened the gate and let us in. Some of the citizens who lived in front of the castle looked at us with curious faces.

The boys played the ball freely and stopped when Mr Dimitri's horse passed by. They looked at him with admiration. The atmosphere in Mr. Myres' residence was indeed different.

He allowed the family of servants he worked with to live around the castle. Sierra and I live in the city, so I'm used to the stormy atmosphere of Myres Castle.

We arrived in front of the castle and got off the horse. The horse guards had brought Onyx and Twinkle into the stables. I followed Master Dimitri's footsteps up the stairs to the castle hall.

“A-you're Mr Dimitri? Mr. Myres has been waiting for your arrival, sir. Please login.”

I recognized the butler's face and I lowered my head so he wouldn't see me. The butler Mr. Myres took us into the hall and Mr. Myres was already sitting on a large, gold-plated chair in the middle of the room.

There were two maids beside him who instantly shifted as Mr. Myres stood up.

“Welcome, Mr. Dimitri. I didn't expect an important guest to arrive all of a sudden so I'm sorry if there's no preparation at all. You want to rest and drink some wine first? I can prepare a room and a woman for you.”

“No need to bother Myres. Just get to the point. You want to kill me?”

Mr Myres laughed, “What crazy thing are you accusing, Mr Dimitri? If you weren't the king's favorite warrior, I would've thrown you in jail.”

Quickly, Mr. Dimitri was gone from before me and he was in front of Mr. Myres.

Mr. Dimitri strangled Mr. Myres' neck. “You can't make me lose my patience.”

With a pleading gaze, he said, “M-sorry Dimitri, I was just kidding. How could I dare to kill you? Who accused me of that?”

Mr. Myres' eyes then headed towards me, he shouted, “Is that woman accusing me? Guards, catch him!”

I looked left and right, a few guards surrounded me and 2 people ambushed my hands back. I thrashed but was helpless with the power of two men.

“I will give him the right punishment, Dimitri.” he said with a red face, his breath heaving.

“Tell me honestly, are you the one who wants to kill me?”

SNAP OUT!

“Not, Mr. Dimitri. The one who wants you dead is Mr. Lazarus. I just got a chance to have that poor girl kill you, mister.”

Mr. Dimitri took off his grip and Mr. Myres regained his senses. He seemed confused for a moment.

“What happened?”

Dimitri stepped back and he casually spilled water from the glass, washing the hands that had held Mr. Myres' neck.

“You have confessed your deeds. What would the king do if he knew you had a hand in planning this murder?”

“What do you mean?” Mr. Myres frowned, “I didn't say anything!”

Mr. Dimitri pointed to one of the ladies, “You! Tell me what you heard coming out of your master's mouth.”

The beautiful-faced dayang blushed in shame, “Master Myres said, it was you who told the girl to kill Mr. Dimitri.”

Mr. Myres's mouth was open, closed like a fish, and I held back my laughter.

“B-give me a chance to explain everything, Dimitri.”

Mr. Dimitri took a grain of wine and threw it up and caught it, “Good. Say.”

Mr. Myres gulped, “I have a great debt to Lazarus. He who wants you dead, in return, my debt will be cleansed. But there's someone important here.”.

“Oh yes?” said Mr. Dimitri cuek.

“Call Sierra here!”

I breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Sierra was still alive. It's a good thing Mr. Myres didn't kill him even if I failed.

Mr. Myres looked at me sharply and full of anger. He walked towards me and whispered, “Dumb mute girl! See what punishment I'm going to give you! Free I told Eden to train you, cih.”

“Dimitri, thank you for returning this mute girl to me. I will punish him.” said Mr. Myres while holding my chin.

I looked at Mr. Dimitri with fear. I'd rather be with that vampire than Mr. Myres who stinks of alcohol.

Mr. Myres took off my chin, “M-sorry Mr. Dimitri. I don't know.”

“This is Sierra, sir.” said the bodyguard reported.

Sierra walked in with a frightened face but she was very beautiful and shining. Wearing a noble suit and her blonde hair was beautifully cut.

His eyes were fixed on Mr. Dimitri and I could see Sierra instantly attracted to the handsome man.

Then Sierra gasped in shock when he saw the other guest was me.

“C-chloe? Why are you here? I thought you were dead,” he said in disbelief.

I thrashed and the bodyguard took my hand off so I could ask Sierra.

{Why are you dressed so pretty, Sierra? Aren't you thrown into the cell underground?}

Sierra glanced at Mr. Myres uneasily, “I thought my sister was dead when the bodyguard said Mr. Dimitri was coming. He didn't say he brought Chloe here.”

“Quick explain! I'm bored.” said Mr. Dimitri.

“Sierra! Quickly tell me honestly what your role is here. We can't run anymore. We better just tell the truth than die.” Mr. Myres urged.

“What? If you say, of course we must die!” Sierra rebelled but he couldn't escape.

{Sierra, tell them that you only stole Mr. Myres' money and he forced me to kill Mr. Dimitri with a threat.}

Sierra snorted dejectedly, “Truly your useless sister, Chloe. Just one task you failed! Yes, I have conspired with Mr. Myres. It's all just acting to get you to agree to our plan. I didn't steal money and wasn't thrown into a cell. Stupid fool!”

“Hey, hey. This is your plan, Sierra. You were so sure that Dimitri would kill this mute girl! And you also assured me that he was mute, but why did Dimitri know?”

Mr. Myres slapped me hard, “You can talk right? Don't pretend to be mute!”

Then he turned to look at Mr. Dimitri, “Sorry, Dimitri. These two women must have framed me. I was mistaken because of the lure of debt release. Please forgive me, Dimitri.”

Mr. Myres got to his knees and begged.

“Truly useless you Myres! You think he'll forgive us!? Your own mouth that wreaked havoc on you!” shout Sierra.

SNAP OUT!

“Sierra, what is your relationship with Lazarus?” ask Mr. Dimitri.

Sierra's face changed drastically, from full of emotion to emotionless. “Lazarus promised to marry me if this plan worked. She's gonna make me Miss Stafford.”

My heart grimaced at the honest answer from the mouth of Sierra, my own half-brother. It turns out Sierra lied and set me up in his charade.

“And you willingly let your sister do it?”

“He's my half-sister, sir. I don't care if he dies. The important thing is that my plan was successful and I was able to become a mistress in a big castle.”

“Hey, Sierra. You are so cruel.” timpal Mr. Myres.

“What do you think is the right punishment for your sister who tried to kill me?”

I gasped at Mr Dimitri's question. Cold sweat washed over my body.

“As far as you are, sir. He is useless and should be used as food for wild animals.” Sierra said.

“Hmm.. I like you. Straight and not afraid to die. Alright if that's your request.”.
