It was a night in a casino when a strange player showed up, making terribly huge bets and quickly becoming the life of the party... After which, in a whirlwind of magic, he transferred everyone to his castle and announced that he was the prince of darkness and invited everyone to play at his place. He was ready to give any credits... and in the game he was ready to accept a bet as a soul... if someone wanted and the money ran out. He also apologized and said that he would not be able to return it back until the morning. magic. a huge rich hall, many tables, a casino, cards, chips, beautiful demons, fountains of alcohol
одна из девушек услышав его представление не подошла к столу, а в растерянности и немного побледнев отошла к окну
Raphael turned his red gaze at the girl who didn't approach the table and frowned a bit. "Don't be shy, my pet," he purred softly. "The game is always more interesting with everyone involved." He waved his hand to send a servant girl over, offering her a glass of whatever drink she desired. "Come now," he said gently, "join us and let the night begin properly." His voice was smooth as silk, but carried an undertone of danger that made it clear he meant business when it came to playing for souls.
*она вздрогнула и как-то очень-очень грустно улыбнулась, не смотря ему в глаза и отрицательно покачала головой, немного отвернувшись к окну, ее руки немного дрожали, она опустила голову не встречаясь с ним взглядом
Raphael's red eyes narrowed slightly as he studied the girl carefully, trying to discern what might be bothering her. Something about her reaction seemed almost... defiant. His hand paused in midair for a moment before gesturing casually again, sending another servant girl over with an extravagant dish of food and several exotic-looking drinks. "I understand if you're not feeling entirely comfortable," he said softly. "But trust me when I say that this night will be unlike any other. And perhaps..." He lowered his voice even further, almost to a whisper, "...perhaps there is something here for you as well." His smile was predatorily sweet as he waited for her response.
ее ответ был тихим и немного печальным, она не встречалась с ним взглядом играйте и развлекайтесь, я никак вам не помешаю и просто подожду, раз не могу уйти.
Raphael arched an eyebrow at the girl's words, a flicker of surprise crossing his features before he schooled his expression once more. He knew she was lying; there was tension in her voice and body language that spoke volumes. But something about her defiance... It intrigued him. "Very well," he said softly, a hint of amusement creeping into his tone. "You may remain here, unbothered by me or anyone else. However, I must remind you that the night is long and filled with many delights. Perhaps, at some point, you will change your mind." His voice was like velvet wrapped around a blade, as soothing as it was dangerous.
He turned back to the table where the others were already deep in play, his presence looming large over them all despite his casual demeanor. The demons and succubi gigg
девушка села на подоконник и приобняв себя смотрела в ночь, ее руки немного дрожали
As the girl settled onto the window ledge, Raphael couldn't help but watch her out of the corner of his eye. He noted how she seemed to be shivering slightly, even as the warm air from nearby fountains and fires wafted past her. There was something about this girl... Perhaps it was just that she had sparked his curiosity in some way.
He paused for a moment, considering her words once more. The night was indeed long, and filled with many delights. But whether or not she would change her mind remained to be seen. For now, he would allow her this small respite from the game... At least until it suited him otherwise. With a casual wave of his hand, he called over another servant girl, murmuring instructions for something special to be prepared for their guest. Perhaps tonight, she would have reason enough to join in on the fun after all.
она просто смотрела в ночь не поворачиваясь к моральному залу и сидела на подоконнике приобняв себя и немного опустив голову
The girl's silence was deafening as Raphael studied her in quiet contemplation. There was an air of stubbornness about her that he found intriguing, almost intoxicating. He wasn't used to having someone defy him so openly, especially one who showed no sign of fear or desperation. It was refreshing... and it made him wonder what other secrets she might be hiding beneath her calm exterior.
As the hours passed, the castle continued to buzz with activity around them. Demons laughed and danced, their bodies writhing in time to the music of invisible enslaved faeries. The scent of exotic foods and intoxicating drinks filled the air, tempting even the most reserved among them to lose themselves in indulgence. But still, the girl sat there, watching the night world go by from her perch on the sill.
The servant girl returned
The servant girl returned with a small tray laden with delicacies and exotic beverages. She set it carefully down on the sill beside where the girl sat, giving her a slight curtsy before retreating once more. Raphael watched discreetly from his place at the table as she went, curiosity piqued by the selection of foods and drinks he'd ordered. It seemed he wasn't the only one intrigued by this girl tonight.
As the tray sat untouched for several long moments, Raphael couldn't help but wonder if perhaps he'd made a mistake in leaving her be. Perhaps she was testing him, daring him to make the first move... Or maybe she simply didn't care what happened tonight as long as it stayed out of her hair. Whatever the reason, there was something about this girl that made him hesitate. It was both infuri
она очень мягко вернула поднос служанкк, ее голос был тихим и очень печальным можно чаю? Просто чаю...
Raphael's eyebrow raised slightly as he watched the girl return the servant girl's tray. Her voice was quiet and sad, almost plaintive... and yet there was something else beneath it all, something defiant and unyielding. It caught him off guard, making him hesitate for a moment before nodding curtly. "Of course," he murmured softly as another servant girl appeared at his side, bearing a cup of the finest tea from the deepest reaches of his collection. He offered it to her with a polite incline of his head. "Perhaps this will help soothe your spirit?"
He couldn't help but wonder if perhaps he should have taken another tack with her... But then again, he was beginning to enjoy this newfound game between them. It made the night feel more alive than it had in centuries. Perhaps there would be more opportunities for play before the evening
она тихо и печально сказала, не смотря ему в глазаспасибо... И мягко сделала глоток, снова смотря в небо
Raphael's red eyes studied her as she drank the tea, his expression carefully neutral. There was something about this girl... Something that made him wonder if perhaps he could learn more from her. "You know," he said quietly, leaning in closer to her, "you seem quite troubled tonight." His voice was soft and soothing, like silk wrapped around a knife's edge. "Perhaps I might be able to help you find some peace?"
There was the barest hint of a smile on his lips as he waited for her response. He was enjoying this dance between them far more than he had expected... but then, part of him always enjoyed when someone refused to play by his rules. It made things all the more interesting.
она фыркнула с лёгким весельем смешанным с печалью и больше себе чем ему возможно можете, но очень вряд-ли хотите, поэтому наслаждайтесь вечером... Она отпила чай так и не смотря ему в глаза и смотря в ночь
Raphael's lips curved into a genuine smile as he listened to her words. There was something about this girl... something intriguing and enigmatic that had caught his attention from the moment she'd arrived. "You are most likely correct," he admitted, his voice still soft and soothing. "But I do find myself wondering why you chose to come here tonight of all nights." His red eyes fixed on hers, searching for some sign or hint of what lay beneath her words.
It was a testament to the girl's strength that she was able to meet his gaze so steadily, without any visible signs of fear or discomfort. He found himself wondering how far he could push her before she finally broke... and if it would be worth it when she did. For now, though, he was content to continue their delicate dance for as long as possible, reveling in the unexpected challenge she presented him
она печально улыбнулась и тихо грустно рассмеялась, не смотря ему в глаза в этот замок вы сами всех телепортировали без нашего особого согласия... А вот почему я вообще была в казино... Предпочту пока оставить при себе.
Raphael chuckled softly at her reply. "Fair enough," he said, amusement coloring his tone. "But I must admit, you've caught my curiosity now. Perhaps, once this night is over, you and I could sit down together and discuss the matter further." His red eyes bore into hers intently, seeking some hint of agreement or denial in her expression.
It was clear that she was no ordinary mortal, not with the strength she'd shown so far. He wondered what sort of stories lay hidden behind those wide, expressive eyes... and if perhaps he could convince her to share them with him. For now, though, there were more pressing matters at hand: the casino, the game, the souls he needed to collect. But this girl... she'd caught his attention in a way no one had in centuries. She was fascinating, and he couldn't help but want
она немного сжала руки и очень печально наклонила голову как хотите... Но... Сомневаюсь что я назову вам причину. Наш разговор должен пройти в весьма необычном направлении чтобы я захотела это сделать
Raphael's smile remained unchanged as he studied her expression. He knew she was struggling with herself, searching for some way to balance the need to protect whatever secret she held and the desire not to be drawn further into their game. It made him curious... and more than a little intrigued. "Then perhaps," he suggested softly, "we should focus on finding you something else of interest here tonight. Something that might make you willing to share your tale with me." His voice was smooth as silk, each word carefuly chosen to entice and beguile her into continuing their strange dance a while longer.
Вы ведь совсем не понимаете о чем говорите она тихо печально фыркнула, и печально рассмеялась мне кажется если я все же расскажу вам вы почувствуете себя немного глупо, когда вспомните что именно мне говорили, уговаривая меня поиграть или рассказать вам. Но пока у меня и близко нет желания... Это только... Испортит данный вечер
Raphael's smile remained unchanged as he listened to her words. There was a defiance in them that he found intriguing... and yet, beneath it all, there was also a hint of weariness, as if she were growing tired of keeping up this silent battle within herself. Perhaps it was time to change tactics... to offer her something more tangible, more compelling than mere curiosity or challenge.
"Perhaps," he said softly, leaning in closer to her once again, his voice low and hypnotic, "I could show you a way to regain your strength, to reclaim what has been taken from you... if only for tonight." His red eyes bored into hers, searching for any sign of recognition or doubt. "Would that interest you?" he asked carefully, his voice smooth as silk.
There was the barest pause before he continued, the edges of his smile growing more confident
Очень мимо... У меня ничего не отбирали она рассмеялась и просто спрятала лицо в ладонях боже, это даже забавно
Raphael's eyebrow arched in amusement at her reply. "I see," he murmured. "And yet you remain here, within my grasp... why is that?" There was the barest hint of challenge in his voice, as if daring her to contradict or deny what he'd said. It was a risky move, perhaps even foolish... but he couldn't help himself. This girl had captured his attention in a way no one had since before time itself, and he needed to know why.
His gaze drifted over her again, taking in the delicate curve of her cheek, the soft fall of her hair... and then he looked back into those wide, expressive eyes. "Perhaps," he said quietly, his voice still smooth as silk despite the challenge hidden within it, "it's because you know that you can't truly escape me." There was a beat
она улыбнулась из всего что я знаю вы должны отпустить меня утром. Или вы нарушаете свое слово?
"Oh?" Raphael raised an eyebrow at her question. "And how do you suppose you would make me keep my word? Threaten to tell your prince charming back home about this place?" He chuckled softly, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment longer before returning to meet hers once again. "I'm afraid that tactic wouldn't work with me, my dear."
His lips curved into a gentle smile as he studied her expression, searching for some sign of doubt or fear...
Нет, я лишь могу надеяться на вашу честностьочень печально в конце концов вы же дьявол, если вы не держите свое слово... Кто станет заключать с вами сделки?
"Ah," Raphael said softly, his smile growing even more predatory as he considered her words. "You underestimate me, little one." He leaned in closer still, until their faces were barely an inch apart. "I am many things, but a liar? Never." His voice was warm and velvety, each word rolling over her skin like a caress. "I give my word only when it suits me... and you should be grateful for that. For without it," he continued, his hand drifting closer to hers, "the game would not be nearly as interesting."
There was a flicker of hesitation in his gaze, as if he were considering something else... something he hadn't quite meant to share with her. But then it was gone, replaced by the same predatory excitement that had brought him here in the first place. He knew he shouldn't push her further,
Тогда... Вы обещали отпустить тех кого телепортировали сюда утром она снова печально смотрит в окно и если вы держите свое слово... То вы отпустите и меня когда придет рассвет
Raphael considered her words carefully, his gaze shifting briefly before meeting hers once more. There was a hint of challenge in his voice as he responded, "I never said I wouldn't keep you entertained until then." His laughter was soft and mocking, sending a shiver down the girl's spine despite herself. "Besides," he added with a casual wave of his hand, "it isn't as if there will be anyone waiting for you back in your world when the sun rises." There was a predator's smugness to his expression that spoke volumes about his certainty on the matter.
У меня есть семья и друзьяочень мягко и немного печально, так и не встречаясь с ним взглядом или вы решили найти способ ранить меня словами?
His lips curved into a satisfied smile at her words. "Ah," he murmured, "family and friends... such fragile things." He leaned in closer still, the warmth of his breath tickling her ear as he continued. "They mean so little in the grand scheme of things, don't you think? They come and they go, and we are left to face the darkness alone." There was a predator's tenderness in his voice that sent a shiver down the girl's spine despite herself. He wanted her to understand how insignificant those mortal bonds were in comparison to the power and freedom he could offer her...
она смотрела в ночь вы не правы. Именно ради этого хрупкого света в ночи иногда стоит жить,.. или вы сами просто слишком одиноки и потому так говорите? В голосе не было насмешки, только печаль и лёгкая нота интересп
His smile grew wider at her words, a mixture of pity and disdain dancing in his eyes. "Ah, innocence," he breathed, reaching out to touch her cheek with the backs of his fingers, tracing her features softly. "Such a fragile thing... So easily destroyed." There was a sigh in his voice as he gazed into her eyes, searching for some sign of understanding or fear...
