In a beautiful garden, decorated with beautiful and colourful flowers and trimmed bushes, a girl was sitting behind the table, on the white chair. In front of her, there was three sets of teacup with a small plate under them. In the middle of the table, there was a white teapot.

"Ooh. Hi Ira. You have finally arrived."Acedia says, when she sees her friend appearing at her garden.

"Hi Acedia."Ira greets her back and sits onto the chair. Behind Ira, her attendant is standing behind her and Acedia seeing this, says"Arin..Why don't you join us."

Arin looks at Ira, who nods and so, Arin sits down onto the chair and takes off her helmet, revealing her beautiful face. She looks exactly like, Ira, her twin sister, but with an exception. Arin, unlike Ira, doesn't have a scar.

"Thank you for allowing me to join."Arin says and puts her helmet onto the lap.

"It's fine"Acedia replies to her.

"So why did you want to talk?"Acedia asks Ira, who replies"It's about him."

"By him, you mean Echo?"Acedia asks her.

"Yes. Echo."Ira answers her question.

"I see. So what did you want to talk about him then?"Acedia asks her.

"He is looking for you."Ira tells her.

"For me?"she says in a slightly surprised voice.

"Yes."

"Why would he do that? I haven't done anything, beside sleeping."Acedia says.

"Well here's two hints: he is dying from an incurable poison and you are a High-Vampire queen. So you figure it out."Ira tells Acedia, who thinks for a few seconds, before replying"Huh. He is planning for me to make him a vampire."

"Yep. Thats the only reason there could be."Ira says.

"Okay. I get it why he is doing that, but what makes him think I would turn him?"Acedia asks Ira, who gives her opinion"Well he is marked by Nox and that makes him like us. So maybe he has some kinda of deal with Nox and Nox could force to turn him. But that's my opinion."

"I see. If Nox were to order me, I couldn't defy her wishes."Acedia mutters.

"Yep."Ira says.

There is a small silence between the two and all three of them take sip of their tea. After putting her cup down, Acedia says.

"So basically, he is willing to throw away his humanity and become a vampire. And by becoming one, the natural vampire regeneration speed would heal the poison faster, then it could spread, but it could never completely heal it. To go so far, makes me ask why?"Acedia says in a wondering tone.

"Well probably because of love. He doesn't want to leave his loved one behind and so he is willing to do anything, so he wouldn't die."Ira tells her.

"Love huh. I have never felt it in my life. How about you?"Acedia asks Ira, who replies"Same for me and Arin."

"I see."Acedia mutters and then tells the two"Well then. I guess when he comes to me, I will decide what will i do. But first, he has to make here."

"Yes."Ira says"He is currently working on it and looking for Xeeht, so he could learn about Luxurias location, so he could learn about yours."

"How do you how he is planning to do it?"Acedia asks her.

"Because I met with him a month ago, when he and his group were attacking a fortress, which my troops had claimed."Ira then starts to tell her a story"So when he and his group had attacked the place, things went bad pretty quickly. So I decided to interfere and gave Echo a choice."

"What kind of choice?"

"To mark on of the heroes to death and then I would kill al the demons there. I was expecting some hesitation from him, but no. He just chooses one immediately and so I killed the demons and the hero."

She laughs a little after that and Acedia seeing the unusual behavior from Ira, asks"What's so funny?"

"Nothing much. It's just that he was the first person ever to asks a demon lord, why she is a certain sin."Ira answers Acedia.

"Ooh really?"Acedia asks after taking a sip off from her tea.

"Yep."Ira answers and finishes her tea"Thats all I had to say. Sorry, but I and Aron must leave now."

"I understand. Goodbye."

"Bye."

"Until next time."Arin says and she disappears with her sister then.

In an unknown place, Nox was looking at the flowing black river, with bones going along with the current. She was wearing a black k dress and while he was looking at the river, she said"Dad. Why have you come here?"

"Because you made a small mistake."is replied and a man steps out the shadows. He is wearing black combat boots, black pants, a black shirt with a black trench coat over it. On his right thigh, he has a black gun, that could only be described as a hand cannon. His face is handsome and mature looking. His right eyes is purple and left one red. His black hair is long with white streaks in the hair and is tied into a ponytail. Ob the right side of his face, there are three purple lines going down his face and the lines stops at his hand. His right hand is black with purple lines on it and it also looks to be made out of metal, because it is. His left hand is a regular one.

"What mistake would that be?"Nox asks her father, who walks next to her and answers"The eighth servant. I'm not mad because of the eighth servant, but I'm nad, because who it is. You know really well the three rules."

"Yes dad. Rule number one: Never make a person, who isn't originally from this world, your servant. Second: Never just give people power. And third: You can't go to mortal world with your godly powers."

"See. You remember all of the rules. So why did you break one, Noxia?"He asks, while using her true name, making her tell the truth.

"Because I found him interesting and I don't want hind to die. I also like him and want to be with him."Nox tells everything from the bottom of her hearth. Once she has answered, she puts her hands on her mouth and looks at his father, Lucifer, who looks back at him.

Lucifer only smiles and rubs her head.

"Huuh. You remind me your mother."he says"I will let it pass this time, but don't break anymore rules. Okay Nox?"

"Yes Dad."Nox replies
