Chapter 6 Brother Ju needs therapy.

*Warning, mentions of mental health*

A sword swiftly cut the head of a particular soldier. The perpetrator stood wearing heavy metal armor and a metal helmet on. His silver-grey eyes stared coldly at the headless dead body on the ground when a flock of arrows headed in his direction and his metal shield arose to block them.

Some of the arrows pierced his legs but he swung his sword and shattered half the arrows while the rest remained punctured into his skin. "Soldiers of Camelot! Victory for Camelot!" He roared and the rest of the knights with blood stained armor roared back in response.

In the split moment of distraction a huge man shoved him into the ground. Before he had time to react the huge man fell off him from being struck in the back with an axe.

The man's silver-grey eyes stared at the soldier with an axe. The soldier was breathing heavily when he dropped the huge axe on the ground. He removed his helmet revealing his dark platinum blonde hair while his pitch black eyes stared mischievously at the silver haired man.

"You have gotten reckless, Ju Bal, are you trying to get yourself killed?" The man asked, smirking at Ju Bal who laid on the ground.

He suddenly offered his hand towards Ju Bal who slapped it away and hurriedly got up. "You wish I could die, Thane." He smirked back at the dark eyed man.

Thane huffed and raised his shield to block the spear headed towards Ju Bal from behind. "Now you must know that is not true," he dropped the shield. "Brother." He added.

"Back then there was war everywhere. I was a fucking god king and even I couldn't stop the wars that scorched the Kingdoms." Ju Bal stopped staring into space, and remembering the old days as he spoke. "Not that I cared anyways."

The god Kings were the Final principals. As they were more powerful than regular deities they were called god kings.

The woman seated at a pristine white leather chair sighed. The female had red hair, with mature hazel eyes, a feminine like square face, and a tall and lithe shape. She crossed her legs, and stared at Ju Bal warmly.

"That's not true, Ju Bal," she suddenly said. "You do care, you cared when Emilia died."

Ju Bal's eyes looked down at the woman and smiled as usual. "Oh Doctor Alvarez, did you not know back in those days I could be qualified as a sociopath and today I am a certified psychopath, you said it yourself."

"Ju Ba,l I was a first year student back then. I knew nothing about how to give proper therapy to a patient." The woman replied with a bored tone as if she was tired of repeating the same question.

"Potato potahto Dr. Alvarez, I do not need your psychoanalysis today." Ju Bal responded, putting a glass of blood red drink in his mouth.

She set her book and pen aside and said. "Actually you pay me to psychoanalyze you."

Ju Bal snorted. "Can we forget about whether I have emotions or not? I feel a…jolt of joy when heads roll, my eyes twinkle when people realize that it's a monster that has been around them." Ju Bal's smile widened at the memories of such deeds.

"Y-ou're the god king, bringer of doom!" A man yelled.

"Please, please oh great number 12, don't kill m-!" He was murdered instantly.

"Surely that qualifies as feeling emotions?" Ju Bal asked mischievously, only the mischievous glint in his eyes isn't as scary as the one he gave Yomi.

The woman gave Ju Bal a knowing look. "You're trying to divert from the topic."

Ju Bal cocked his head to the side. "What topic? An interesting topic would be seeing a lady who had a resemblance to Emilia."

Dr. Alvarez looked thrown off for a moment with the rapid blinking before she composed herself again. "Resemblance? I thought you said you've seen others who resembled Emilia before? What makes this one different?"

Ju Bal stood up. He walked to the curtains, opening them for the sun to come in. "*Tsk* You with the questions," he glanced at the Dr who deadpanned. "She had a striking resemblance. Everything about her was like Emilia. There were only a few differences, as if someone wore a cheap disguise on Emilia."

The Dr looked confused when she spoke. "But is that possible? Is it reincarnation?"

Ju Bal didn't speak. He simply stared at the window, looking at the green pastures surrounding the Villa, and a posh black car parked at his house. He frowned for a moment, opening his mouth to speak…. Then-

Somebody barged into the room. "Madam, please, Master Ju has asked for privacy-!" The butler was ignored by a lady with bleached silver hair who walked into the room, pushing the butler away.

The bleached silver haired lady with brown eyes and a nylon turtleneck long sleeve white and black dress looked from Dr. Alvarez to Ju Bal. She spoke. "Brother Ju, good day." She ignored the Dr.

Ju Bal smiled at Butler leonard. "Leonard, it seems age has made your task daunting for you. Shall I get rid of you so your wish of being useless shall be granted?"

The butler shuddered but managed to keep up with his blank expression. Catherine spoke again to Ju Bal. "Brother Ju, get rid of him, your manservant has no courtesy for his superiors. A common low born witch."

Ju Bal's eyes flickered from her to the butler. "Leave." He ordered the butler who responded with a nod and immediately left.

His eyes drifted back to Catherine. "Nefe- no, Catherine, butler not manservant," Catherine looked confused at what he meant. "What is it that you want here, Catherine?"

Catherine smiled at Ju Bal, whose smile of his own fell. "I heard from Yomi that you might attend the engagement party of Wolf King Lucien. I am attending as well, so I reckoned you would need to sho-"

"I do not." Ju Bal shot her down ruthlessly.

Her smile faltered but she managed to maintain it. "Then could brother Ju escort me to shop for clothes."

Ju Bal's lips twitched. This idle woman would not leave him be, until he gave her an inch. "I would like to escort you to shop for clothes, how about…." He glanced at Dr. Alvarez. "My good Doctor here, join us, I've always thought she needed new clothes."

Dr. Alvarez who looked lost in their conversation jerked and her eyes widened comically. "What? No…. I don't need new clothes…. I should get going, our time is up and Bobby is waiting for our date."

Bobby was Dr. Rebecca Alvarez's long time boyfriend and recently fiance. Ju Bal smiled again. "Oh no, surely Dr. Alvarez can make time for her patient who could go on a rampage when triggered the slightest bit." Ju Bal blinked meekly.

Dr. Alvarez glared at him. "Is there a need for a third party… I thought we could-"

Ju Bal cut Catherine off. "Nonsense Cathy, my good Doctor has helped me psychologically all these years, the least I could do is buy her decent clothes." Ju Bal offered.

"Yes, how can I reject this gesture from the goodness of your kind heart?" Dr. Alvarez quipped.

Ju Bal's smile brightened. "Of course you can't." He said.

Catherine, who was staring at both of them with a fiery look for a moment, feigned a smile when Ju Bal's eyes landed on her. "Yes, brother Ju Bal is such a kind man."

Ju Bal looked back at the Doctor. "Hear that Doctor. On top of being dashingly handsome, I am kind."

The Doctor has enough restraint to not roll her hazel eyes at the unchanging megalomaniac of a patient.

°°°

"Surely brother Ju Bal does not need a therapist. Your mind has always been in peak condition." The bootlicking Catherine said as they entered the huge boutique.

Dr. Alvarez, who did not have a good impression of Catherine, rolled her eyes. The human Doctor who was a friend of Ju Bal since she was a teenager had only just met Catherine and she wished she had not. The woman had been harping the praises of Ju Bal since the ride to the boutique.

The Doctor finally spoke after keeping quiet for a while. "Your brother Ju is a psychotic man. I'm sure you're aware of that? Brother Ju Bal needs therapy."

Knowing Ju Bal relished being called names like psychotic and cruel she showed no restraint.

Catherine glared at her before going on to wrap her hand around Ju Bal's arm. "You know nothing about brother Ju, human."

"I know enough, Vampire." The Doctor nipped back.

Catherine's eyes widened. She had casually called Dr. Alvarez human not knowing the Doctor actually knew of the supernatural world. Had Ju Bal told her? "Brother Ju does not need to be Kind to anyone. Everyone else is below his status." Catherine bit back.

Entering the boutique Ju Bal finally butted in. "Hear that, Doctor, everyone else is below my status. You should learn from Catherine and praise your patients." He smirked at the angry Doctor.

"Now what are we searching for ladies, I have better matters to attend-" his words died in his throat at the sight of a plump girl with blonde hair, and blue eyes.

She was following a girl who dyed her hair blue around. Ju Bal's heart slammed against his chest and his world spinned seeing this lady. She looked more like Emilia as he saw her again.

"Brother Ju, must we shop in this local town? We can fly to Milan or perhaps Korea. I quite like their fashion line."

As if there was some kind of magnet pulling her in, Celina turned and her eyes met with the ethereal silver-grey eyes staring at hers. Ju Bal followed her throat moving as she gulped. Her blue eyes seemed to be examining his body while his silver-grey ones stared at her like a lost puppy looking at his owner.

Ju Bal let out a breath when he sank a canine down at her plump lower lip. His muscles went taut, and his fingers curled into a balled position.

Catherine who was blabbering finally followed Ju Bal's gaze but as fate would have it the blonde girl had turned her back to Ju Bal before Catherine's eyes landed on her. All Catherine saw was a blue haired girl and the back of a blonde girl, surely Ju Bal was staring at the blue haired girl.

Ju Bal finally felt his vocal cords working again when he said. "I would not fly around nations for an outfit, Neferet." He called her by her birth name. His voice was suddenly stern and no longer playful.

He roughly collected his arm back from Catherine and told her. "Go and shop." Catherine who dared not disobey Ju Bal scurried off to find an outfit.

Dr. Alvarez stared at her patient who looked at her. "What about my good Doctor? You should find something you want too." He said to the Doctor.

Dr. Alvarez stared at him more before nodding and walking off to find her own dress.

Staring at the blonde-haired lady, memories flashed in his mind. He was lost in thought when a blonde haired girl spoke. "I never took you for the poly relationship type."

Ju Bal was momentarily stunned before turning to see the blonde female beside him. "Great Cosmos, do you have an affinity for teleportation?"

The blonde girl frowned, obviously confused. "I did not understand a word of what you just said," she replied.

"What do you want, woman?" He asked, straightening himself out.

The woman- Celina tilted her head to the side and said. "Should ask you that what's Mr. Tilting to the ugly side doing in a clothe shop for women?"

Ju Bal's brows knitted as he cooly replied. "Perhaps Mrs. Average looking should mind her own business? I already have enough trauma from talking too much with Neferet adding another mouthy woman to the list will give me a headache."

"Are you calling me annoying in some indirect way?"

Her legendary anger began to rise, she had met many people who knew how to get under her skin but the white haired man was starting to seem worse than those people.

His silver-grey eyes descended back on her. She shivered suddenly feeling like it was a giant staring down at her. "Lady, it is not an indirect means. You are annoying," he swatted his hand at her like she was a fly.

She raised her own hand to slap the swatting hand away when Ju Bal stiffened as their hands had slight contact. Suddenly he felt himself being plunged into another place.

He suddenly saw a restaurant setting with two people as the highlight of the whole place. One of them was a male and the other was a female he recognized to be Celina. The man laughed heartily then poured the contents of his cup on her face while people sprouted out from nowhere with cameras and lights.

Ju Bal tried to walk towards them before- he suddenly disappeared from the place.

"Um if you're okay I'll be going now." Celina broke his trance by saying with an awkward expression.

"Wait-!" He yelled out, then cursed himself internally for yelling. "I- you don't look like the type to shop here on a regular basis. Is there something you're shopping for?"

Celina looked suspicious of him. His eyes wouldn't stop looking into hers. She was going to rebuke him when she lost herself to the expectant look in his eyes. It was mystifying how she thought his expressions were blank and couldn't tell anything about him but his eyes conveyed his emotions better. But for some reason she found it hard to look into his eyes, her chest squeezed in a painful manner when she did.

"Uh….uh…." Her heart raced as she continued staring into his eyes. She grabbed her chest with her hand and for some reason her eyes suddenly became filled with tears as she stared into his eyes.

Wisely she finally stopped looking at his eyes and looked at the ground. "I have a date with someone,"

An overwhelming feeling of anger fell on Ju bal like a bucket of water. He fisted his hands and forced another one of his terrifying smiles. Celina shuddered, staring at his frightening smile.

"With whom? A boy crush?" His accent seemed thicker and his voice sounded more gravelly.

She shook her head. "No, just someone I met recently, he asked me out." She didn't know why she was answering all these questions but she felt compelled to.

He lowered his head, his face only mere inches from hers. "Is that so? Good for you." He muttered, his breath fanning her face.

She felt entranced by his closeness. A strange feeling to be close crept inside her and she nearly pulled him to hug her. She was going to inch closely to be closer when he pulled away and offered her an evil smile. "Well I do hope you wear a red dress. I have a feeling you will look exquisite in a red dress."

She released a breath finally finding a clearing. She nodded, and walked away so fast she was practically running. Ju Bal scoffed, "date my fucking ass." He gritted out.

Perhaps it was the fact she resembled Emilia or Perhaps he felt himself drawn to her crude character but he found himself imagining the various way he would murder the boy she was going out on a date with.

Lost in his thoughts and with how fast it came neither the people around nor Ju Bal himself noticed him being whisked away by a breeze.

In an instant he saw himself at the edge of a cliff. A hand was wrapped around his neck and a bloody figure with platinum blonde hair was staring at Ju Bal.

"Go to hell and die there Ju Bal Inferia Morningstar!" The man holding onto Ju Bal's neck roared.

Ju Bal's eyes widened when he muttered. "T-Tae? Thane? Brother."

The hand let go of his neck, letting Ju Bal fall from the cliff.
