Chapter 166 - The Beast Is Unleashed

(This chapter will be in third person since Seri is too drunk to give her point of view)

"SERI! YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND!"

"NO! YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND LUCIUS!"

Everyone watched the scene in front of them in disbelief. Seri and Lucius were highly intoxicated and each had their arm around the others shoulder. The others were not as drunk as the two in front of them. They each had only one sip each. Seri and Lucius never noticed this because they were too busy having a drinking contest which ended in both of them losing.

Lucius looked at Seri with watering eyes, "R-Really?! I thought you hated me!"

Seri mirrored his expression, "I don't! I thought you hated me!!!"

He shook his head, "No way! YOU'RE AMAZING!"

Seri sobbed, "No! YOU'RE amazing!!"

Artie watched the scene with a mix of disbelief and second hand shame. He clicked his tongue as he watched the drunk Lucius, "And who was supposed to take care of who?"

Seri looked at Lucius with a serious look, "We should become blood brothers."

Lucius looked at her seriously as well, "That sounds awesome!! How do we do that?"

"Exchanging blood!"

Seri went to reach for the knife boot. Everyone else shouted simultaneously, "NO!" They quickly pulled the knife boot away.

Seri stuck out her bottom lip, "Aww... You all are no fun." She shrugged, "Might as well have another drink."

Lucius went to drink from his glass, but there was nothing left. He pouted, "Seri!!! My blood brother! Pour me some too!"

Seri sloppily saluted him, "You got it son of a Duke!"

Lucius hiccupped, "You're the son of a Duke!"

Artie frowned, "No, Lucius. She isn't. YOU'RE actually the son of a Duke."

Lucius looked up, "Oh... I guess you're right..."

Seri poured the drink into the two glasses sloppily, splashing the whiskey everywhere on the table. William groaned feeling mortified as he shook his head. The held their cups up and clanked them together to cheers once more. More whiskey spilled out covering their sleeves, but they didn't even notice. They drank simultaneously.

Seri looked around drunkenly, "OI! Lucius!"

He hiccupped, "What?"

Seri pointed to everyone else with a frown, "They stopped drinking." She slammed her fists on the table, "How dare you all not drink with me!"

Lucius slapped his knee, "Today is SERI'S birthday! And you won't drink with her?! Rude!"

Seri nodded, "Incredibly rude." She filled their cups splashing more outside than inside. "Now drink!"

Mary caught a whiff and automatically gagged. Artie looked at the thing in front of him as if it was a disgusting creature. Mathias had long since passed out. William grimaced at the cup in front of him, "I'm not drinking this."

Seri pointed at him, "Chicken!"

Lucius mirrored Seri's actions, "Chicken!"

William frowned, "I'm not a chicken!!! This... This just tastes disgusting..."

Seri hit the table with her fist, "DRINK!"

Millie calmly took a small sip and placed it on the table. She smiled at Seri and spoke in a gentle tone, "Seri... It's not good to pressure people. I'm sure Prince William can't handle his alcohol so that's why he's not drinking."

William's face twitched in irritation, "I can handle my alcohol! I-I just don't want to drink it!"

Millie nodded, "Sure... Sure..."

He groaned and took another gulped. He immediately gagged and started choking. Mary empathetically patted his back. Artie nonchalantly tossed the drink into the potted plant close to him and smiled innocently.

Seri looked at Mathias with hazy eyes, "Matty! Drink!"

Artie frowned, "Mathias passed out after the first sip."

She blinked uncoordinatedly, "Oh... I didn't know he was such a lightweight... Dante?"

Dante took a small sip and looked back at Seri. Seri smiled proudly and pointed at him, "There's a man for you!"

Seri went to pour more drinks for everyone and shook the bottle. She pouted, "Ah... Empty."

Lucius screamed, "NOOOO!"

Seri smiled at him, "Fear not, blood brother. I will go get more."

William sat up immediately, "No you will not."

She stuck out her tongue, "Watch me." Seri stood up and immediately fell over on her back. Everyone flinched and looked to see if she was alright. She held up a thumbs up, "Still alive!"

PoonPoon took this opportunity to run out of Seri's dress and climb up on Mary's shoulder. He too was concerned and worried about his drunk owner. However, he also had a good feeling it would be better not to stick to his owner and instead hang out with the big breasted women who always brought him snacks.

William sighed in a relief, "Good thing she locked the door earlier. Now she won't be able to escape to wreak havoc outside."

Seri stood up and brushed off her dress. She looked at PoonPoon and held out her hand, "PoonPoon. Give me the key."

He shook his head quickly. He knew he had to be the responsible one tonight. William chuckled at the monkey sitting on Mary's shoulders. Seri frowned at his persistence.

A mischievous glint passed through Seri's eyes. Seri leaned over and whispered into Lucius's ears. His face lit up, "Let's do it."

William gulped, "Do what?"

Seri and Lucius both stood up and started stretching. They looked extremely determined, but no one could figure out what they were thinking. Lucius stood by the door and started cheering, "You can do it Seri! You're number one!!"

She shouted back, "D*mn right I am!"

William had a bad premonition, "What can she do?!"

Before anyone else could say another word, Seri bolted towards the door. She used her shoulder to run into the door, instantaneously breaking it off the hinges. Even part of the frame ripped off and went flying. Everyone's jaws hit the floor.

William didn't believe his eyes, "SINCE WHEN HAS SHE BEEN THAT STRONG?!"

He looked at Dante for an explanation, but Dante was equally as surprised. She had always sparred with him before, but he had never encountered her using this much strength before.

Lucius cheered, "Way to go Seri!!! Now let's go get more booze!"

They ran out and everyone, except for the passed out Mathias, ran after them quickly. As William ran he hunched over nearly gagging. He stopped, "I will distract everyone. You all stop those two idiots from causing trouble!"

Millie frowned, "You're the fastest one here. Why won't you chase them?"

He made a queasy expression, "Because I might actually vomit."

Millie rolled her eyes, "Lightweight." Then she ran off with the others to go corner Seri.

Seri looked ahead and saw Dante jump in front of her, blocking her way to the alcohol table. She stopped and changed direction, only to see Millie, Mary, and Artie blocking her way to the dessert table. She and Lucius frowned as they looked around.

Mary smiled, "Seri... You're surrounded now.. Why don't we just go back in the room and have some water?"

Seri spat at her, "I don't want water!!! That's a poor mans drink!"

Lucius whined, "Seri! What are we going to do?! I don't want water!!!"

Seri looked around and noticed a door behind her leading out to the hallway in the imperial palace. A smirk replaced her frown, "It looks like we will just have to pick them off one by one."

Artie frowned and looked at the others in a panic, "W-What?! What does she mean one by one?!"

They shrugged in response. They never knew what was going on inside Seri's mind. She abruptly turned around and ran out the door behind her, nearly breaking it off it's hinges as well. Lucius didn't miss a beat and followed after her. The others quickly followed in pursuit.

Suddenly they were led through a labyrinth of hallways. The group hesitated when they lost her trail. In front of them were four different hallways she could have ran down. Her laughter bounced off of the walls making it hard to pinpoint her location.

Millie spoke, "Looks like we will have to split up."

Artie gulped, "Is that really necessary?"

Mary also looked nervous, "I-I agree with Artie. I think we should stick together... I have an awful feeling that Seri has something planned."

Millie gave Mary a chilling smile, "Just do it."

She and Artie gulped and shook their heads immediately. They both began to walk down the hallway. As Mary walked, she felt like the hallway was getting darker and colder... It was becoming to look more sinister.

A hand reached out behind a tapestry and tapped Mary's shoulder. She let out a blood curdling scream. Seri stepped out with a mischievous smile. Lucius also stepped out with a goofy drunken face.

Mary sighed in relief, "Oh, it's just you. I thought you were a ghost."

A sly smile spread across Seri's face, "Hey Maryyy~"

She tilted her head, "What?"

"OPPAI!"

Seri reached out and grabbed Mary's chest. Mary let out another scream as she slapped away Seri's hands. Mary collapsed on the ground with a blushing face and swirling eyes. She held her chest as she spoke in tongues.

Seri smiled triumphantly after defeating Mary. Lucius frowned, "Hey. How come you can grab her chest, but I can't?"

Seri smirked, "Because I'm a girl and you're a boy."

As Seri walked away to get her next prey, Lucius frowned and stumbled after her. "That's really sexist Seri!"

Millie walked down the hallway with a gentle smile. Even though she was alone and searching for Seri, she never stopped acting prim and proper. Also, she really didn't care if she caught Seri or not. She was actually enjoying watching Seri destroy things. She noticed Seri and Lucius in front of her and smiled.

"Ah, Seri. There you are."

Lucius looked at Seri, "How are we going to stop Millie? She's kind of scary..."

Seri smirked, "Fear not. I have a secret weapon."

Millie giggled, "Oh Seri. You are really funny." Millie didn't know what Seri meant as a secret weapon, but she didn't think it was as great as Seri thought.

Seri dramatically grabbed the hem of her dress.

Millie raised an eyebrow.

Seri shouted, "FLASH ATTACK!"

She flipped up her dress, exposing what lay underneath.

Millie instantly shrieked and covered her eyes. She shook as she alternated from looking to hiding her face in embarrassment. Should she look? Should she not? Oops. She looked. Her voice cracked, "L-Lace?!"

Millie was wrong. It was actually as great as Seri thought.

Millie collapsed on the ground twitching with a bright smile on her face. Her nose slightly bled.

Seri smiled victoriously.

Lucius looked at Seri in surprise, "Did you just flash your underwear at her?"

Seri giggled, "No. Don't worry. She didn't actually see my underwear. I'm wearing stockings underneath this." Seri looked down, "Oh... Wait... No I'm not..."

She had in fact flashed her underwear at the unsuspecting Millie.

Down another hallway, Artie heard Mary's screams then followed by Millie's. He froze. He looked behind him trembling slightly. He took a deep breath, "Why am I acting so scared? It's just Seri!"

He turned around and saw Seri standing in front of him with a playful smile. He screamed in surprise. He hadn't even heard anyone approach him!!

Lucius stood behind Seri with a somewhat perverted expression. Artie instantly felt like running away. However, before he could turn to run, he was suddenly hoisted up into the air. He screamed as Seri held him up with two hands as if he was completely weightless.

"SERI! PUT ME DOWN! PUT ME DOWN!"

Seri giggled mischievously, "Haven't you ever wanted to ride a merry-go-round?"

"A merry-go-round?!" He asked with a bad feeling in his chest. Suddenly, Seri started spinning in circles while still holding Artie above her head. He started screaming, "SERI STOP! I'M GETTING DIZZY!"

Seri looked at Lucius, "CATCH!"

He held out his hands, "Don't worry Artie! I will definitely catch you!"

Artie shouted in a panic, "WHAT?! NO! Seri don't!"

However, Seri didn't listen to Artie and threw him at Lucius. He crashed into Lucius and the two fell to the ground. Artie looked down and saw that Lucius was beneath him with cheeks reddened from alcohol. Lucius giggled, "This position isn't bad either."

Artie frowned in irritation, "You are a f*cking waste of air."

Lucius's smile turned abruptly into a sob as he clung to Artie, "NOOO! ARTIE!! DON'T HATE ME!"

Seri noticed the two entangled in a lovers embrace and decided to leave the two alone. She moved on to her next and final target.
