Jonathan jostled the girl. "Where do you think you're looking? Don't get any funny ideas, now. No funny business. Anything weird, and I'll kill her without a second thought. There's so many hostages I can use here, after all."
Kieran's eyes snapped back up, sneering at the man.
Jonathan sneered back. He couldn't believe the brat. He already had a hostage on hand, but he was still acting too big for his britches.
Disgust bubbled within the man, knowing that he had the upper hand now, despite how nonchalant Kieran was trying to behave.
He didn't believe that he didn't care about this little girl. Kieran had always been a bit of a bleeding heart, no matter how much he tried to hide it. It had been especially obvious in his younger years, when he hadn't learnt how to shield his emotions from being taken advantage of.
Jonathan never forgot a weakness, and it was definitely coming in handy now.
The man didn't believe a person could change so much, so he still had to care. And, look, with how the other Rothschild was dawdling now, his bet had paid off, hadn't it?
"Ha. So, you don't care that I have a hostage, do you?" Jonathan said, slicing deeper into the girl's neck.
She let out a short scream before she choked a little, pressing her neck as far away from the blade as she could.
Kieran hardened his heart, looking at the scene with an impassive face, the previous anger in him bleeding out from his eyes.
The girl was just a teenager – barely one, if anything, but the man was already so ruthless to her. With her light brown hair and big, wide eyes filled with tears, she would have stirred sympathy in the average person.
However, Jonathan was obviously an exception from this. Since he didn't want to give Jonathan any added ammunition, he couldn't allow himself to react to this. The man was a typical bully that bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Any sign of weakness and he would strike out like a shark smelling blood.
"Do you really not care?" Jonathan said with sadistic glee. He used his free hand, which was not holding the knife, to dig his fingers into the wound that was on the girl's neck.
She choked, the blood gushing out from the wound, and the pain that that man was causing her was agonizing. He used his nails to dig deeper into the decently sized wound on her neck.
There was already a large trail of blood gushing over her dress, and something inside Kieran clenched seeing that. He was sure that if it wasn't for her body trying to fight off the blood loss, she would have already passed out there and then.
Her breathing started to come out in harsh pants as her body trembled. She couldn't stop herself from softly crying, which only delighted Jonathan further.
This was exactly the reaction he wanted out of her, and from the cold look on Kieran's face, it was definitely affecting him.
There was no way it wouldn't.
"Since you don't care, then I'll just kill her," Jonathan said with a fierce grin. "After I kill her, while her body is still fresh, some of the men might like a go at her."
Fat drops of tears were being squeezed out of the young girl, the descriptive imagery just too much for her.
They wouldn't even leave her alone after she was dead?
She shut her eyes, despair overcoming her. Her vision had blurred on her, and she felt light-headed.
There was a clang as someone thumped their fist against the bars of the cage.
Surprisingly, the bars being touched did not cause an alarm to go off, but it made Jonathan's face darken.
"Leave her alone, you monster!"
"Yeah!" echoed the other prisoners.
"Release her! She's just a little girl!"
"Take me instead, you bastard!"
It surprised Kieran and made him wonder if these were the people that had been captured trying to save the people inside here.
That was a lot more probable than everyone being broken like up there.
So, those people were the ones captured, and the ones here were the ones that had walked into the trap themselves.
There was still a fire that burned in these people's eyes, and Kieran felt a little better knowing that there were still people worth saving here.
Jonathan snarled. "Shut up!"
"You shut up!"
Jonathan gripped the girl's neck tighter, causing her to shout out in pain. Only then did the rowdy prisoners quieten down a little.
Even though Jonathan talked so savagely, he didn't once take his eyes off Kieran. Who knew what this headstrong brat would do if he took his eyes off him?
At this moment, there was a sudden dimming of the lights above him, sending him into confusion.
He hesitated, but in the end, he still looked behind him quickly to check what was happening.
Were the others here, or was there something else happening?
Jonathan's eyes widened when he realized he was staring down a gigantic bunny that had just appeared behind him without any warning. "What-!"
Before Jonathan could react, he was savaged by a large bunny.
In his shock, Jonathan's hold on the girl loosened, and Kieran stole the girl out from his arms, pressing his hand hard over the wound on her neck.
It didn't matter that he was causing her pain, but the wound could not go without pressure being put on it before it healed up.
"Anyone's a healer here?" Kieran couldn't help but ask the prisoners.
There were various calls of 'no' and the explanation that their kidnappers got rid of whatever apparent healers that made their way into this place.
Kieran swore under his breath. He tried to use his magic on the girl, trying to make it hard for blood to leave the wound, but there wasn't much he could do about the blood she'd already lost.
But Jonathan didn't have any time to care about what Kieran was doing right now. He was trying to get himself out from under the white rabbit's paw, but to his disbelief, he could do no such thing.
He let out a few blasts of magic against what he could only assume was Kieran's familiar, but there was no effect.
Jonathan swore loudly, his eyes wild. "Stop! If you kill me, you'll never know what we're doing here!"
But before he could do anything other than shout and threaten Kieran, to his horror, he saw the bunny's mouth open widely, showing him pearly white teeth as the familiar's mouth descended on Jonathan.
Nothing else was heard from the man, because Bunbun devoured him whole, bones and all.
He didn't leave a single bit of the man remaining, swallowing him whole.
There was a pin drop silence in the place as everyone stared at the cute looking, if rather large, familiar in horror.
This was the first time they found out that a creature like that could devour people whole. Most of the time, familiars savaged, and they tore, bit and clawed, but never devoured whole.
Many people felt a chill go down their backs at the sight.
The girl that had been in Jonathan's arms just a few moments earlier, and was now safely escorted by Kieran, let out a squeak as she locked eyes with the giant white bunny.
"I…I used to have some herbs in my bag," she said haltingly to Kieran, before her eyes rolled back as she fainted due to blood loss, as well as the shock the bunny gave her.
By the side, Fenrir silently palmed his face at what Bunbun just did. He wasn't subtle at all!
What if Kieran complained about them to their master? Wouldn't they be in for another round of training, then?
Bunbun just happily patted his stomach, and if one ignored the way his stomach sometimes bulged a little here and there, as if someone was punching or kicking from the inside. He looked perfectly innocent and harmless.
However, the people who had witnessed the sight first-hand were probably scarred for life. They would never be able to look at bunnies or rabbits the same way again.
Someone even tried to open the gate, taking advantage of the fact that the bunny was near the bars.
Since the authority had been on Jonathan earlier, if the bunny ate him, did that mean that the authority passed on to the bunny?
The gate silently opened, and the man quickly darted out. He took the bleeding girl from Kieran's arms and darted back into the cage, passing her on to someone else. That person quickly applied pressure on the girl's wounds.
Then, he closed the cage door behind him, making Kieran speechless.
For now, Kieran ignored them and instead walked up to Bunbun with unsteady steps.
Fenrir raised a brow, wondering if the human had become disillusioned with them.
His thoughts, however, were too far from the truth.
Kieran collapsed on the white fluff, feeling like he was in heaven. How cool! Cute, but savage at the same time. His uncle really struck lucky. Was there anything better than this combination right here?!
Later, he reluctantly got up and searched to see whether or not there was anything of the prisoners that the guards had left behind. Maybe there was something of the girl's herbs that could be used to stem bleeding and replenish blood.
