María trembled so much that she had to lean against the wall, she was swooning.
"Thank goodness." She whispered, tears streaming down her cheeks. "He has been tormenting me since I was a baby, and nobody has been capable of removing him from my life. You have no idea how much he tortures me...."

Caius furrowed his brow and moved to assist María.
"I take it that unnecessary torture of young and innocent women, such as yourself, is his new favorite pastime?"

María leaned against the wall, trembling all over her body, and cold sweat dripping from her forehead.
"He has tormented me for the last 18 years. I have no idea if he torments anyone else. He tries to possess me... and make me to evil things...."
Her face showed clearly how much she had been tormented.

"That would be Astaroth," Caius confirmed with a nod of his head.
He knitted his brow. "You don't appear too well, my lady. I believe rest would do you some good."

María nodded.
"I think so too."
If I only could stop trembling so I could get back to my room.

"Allow me to assist you, my lady."
With that, Caius pulled one of María's arms around his broad shoulders and wrapped his own arm about her waist, securing her upright.
"Where is your room located?"

María blushed when this strange man.... no, he was not a human male, she could sense that.... this stranger... wrapped his arms around her to securing her upright.
"Third floor, second door to the right."
She mumbled faintly. She knew she should have asked him who and what he was, but right now, she didn't have the strength to find out. That would have to be for later. She also had to ask him what he was doing there. Right now, she was just grateful for the help she could get.

Silently, Caius aided María up the three flights of stairs and down the short expanse of the corridor to her room. Without breaking stride, Caius's hand shot out to turn the door knob.
"Here we are, my lady."

María entered the room and smiled warmly, thankful for his help.
"Thank you," she smiled and sat down for a while.
"Won't you come in for a while and sit down? I want to know more about you. For starters, your name, who you are and what you are doing here. Because I can tell you are not just an ordinary man."

"It is my duty to serve, my lady," he said with a graceful bow.
"I should set off and tend to the castle. But I am Caius. And yes, I am no ordinary man because I am a demon. As for my purpose here... I personally feel obligated to offer my assistance to those who need it most. Like you."

María looked up at him and blushed, not used to handsome young men bowing to her.
"You are a demon? Like Astaroth? But... I thought demons were brutal. You don't seem brutal or evil at all. You seem to be kind and gentle."

Caius thanked María for her gracious compliment.
"You've sampled a terribly miniscule portion, my lady. Not all demons are like Astaroth."

María smiled warmly and looked over at him, shyly. He was very handsome, he looked brave and daring, and he was a demon. Would he be capable of chasing Astaroth away from her, or protect her when she was possessed? Looking at the young man, she thought he would.
"I am glad to hear that. As I have mentioned before, Astaroth has haunted me for 18 years now, ever since my birth. I need someone who are strong enough to fight him off, and who aren't afraid of him or the magic he uses against everyone that even dares to speak to me."
She looked up at him, measuring him.
"If I hire you in my service. What kind of job would you like? And what would you want as a payment for your services?"

Caius shook his head defiantly.
"Please, no payment. I desire nothing in return for there is nothing of worldly value that could possibly satisfy me. And if you wouldn't mind, I should like to fill the role of the castle's well-to-do butler."

Maria smiled and looked over at him.
"The position as butler is vacant, since Astaroth killed my butler from Iceland a couple of days ago. He did that because he kills anyone that becomes friendly with me. I should warn you about this, even if it will frighten you from working for me."
