It was the next day, Sanguinael had gone out and asked the priestess where she came from and learned that she came from the Church he appeared in. He offered to take her back to the Church as to protect her from any lingering dangers, he was successful and reunited the priestess with her friends. 

Liona: My Lord, I thank you for bringing back Hatsumi to us safely... We were very worried about her when she went missing.

Sanguinael: It is no problem Liona, if you require my help then chant my name.

Liona: I will, thank you my lord.

She bows towards the Grand Archangel and Sanguinael dismisses it.

Sanguinael: I have to go back now Liona, we shall meet again at a different time.

Liona: Yes my lord. once again I thank you.

Sanguinael then made the track back to town, along the way he would meet up with Raynold.

Sanguinael: Raynold, what are you doing here?

Raynold: Ah Sanguinius, I had just accepted a commission from the guild. I'm currently on my way to slay a few monsters in the nearby forest.

Sanguinael: I see, what of the others?

Raynold: They are also doing commissions, there should be plenty more at the guild if you wish to accept one.

Sanguinael: Alright, I'll give it a try. Goodbye for now Raynold.

 The two the parted ways as Sanguinael then heads towards the town, once he arrived at town he immediately went to the guild.

Lisa: Sanguinius! Can I have a word with you?

Lisa called him from behind her desk and Sanguinael came forward to her.

Sanguinael: Is there anything that I can help with Administrator?

Lisa: Yes, and the Guild Master believes that you are the most capable person in doing this. A scout from the military reported to us that he saw the Demon Queen in the northern forest, I cannot confirm the information though. There aren't much Adamantite adventurers available right now.

Sanguinael: Then leave it to me, I shall check if it is true or not.

Lisa: Thank you Sanguinius, I will be waiting.

Sanguinael then walks out of the guild building and heads towards the northern forest, the track was long and arduous but for the Grand Archangel walking was no different than flying with wings and soon arrived at the forest but it was sunset.

Sanguinael's thoughts: If this Demon Queen is who I think it is I will not be surprised. 

He then made his way deeper into the forest, trying to find this so called Demon Queen. Minutes then Hours pass by and he didn't find anyone.

Sanguinael: I know you are there Iris, come out.

Sanguinael called her name, with his more keen senses he had known someone was watching from behind.

*Step*

I feminine figure then drops from the tree's and lands right behind Sanguinael as he turns around.

Iris: So it is true, the last Grand Archangel of Heaven has descended upon a mortal world.

They locked eyes, some people may think that a fight was immanent but for the Grand Archangel and Demon Queen. It was a reunion with a long lost relative.

Sanguinael: Iris, it has been eons since I have seen you. How are you?

Iris then came in for a hug and Sanguinael openly accepts, knowing she was his brother's wife. Then broke off.

Iris: I am well Sanguinael, what brings you to Almaria?

Sanguinael: I merely want a taste of what's called Adventure. How is Damiel?

Iris: No changes, he is still his current self.

Sanguinael: And your daughter?

Iris: She's following in her father's footsteps, but she's a rational girl. She would have loved to see her uncle you know, she's been annoying her father with questions "When will Sanguinael come?".

Sanguinael: She still have a long way to go, I have to tell you that your skills in hiding are pretty sloppy.

Iris: Why?

Sanguinael: You were spotted by a scout.

Iris: Ah... And is that why you came here?

Sanguinael: More or less yes. I will report as the findings to be false and that there is no Demon Queen in the area.

Iris: Thank you, I need to go back now. We shall meet again Sanguinael.

Iris then flies off into the night sky and disappears. Sanguinael then did the same as he flew up and out of the forest towards Hillsborough where he lands in a dark alley to avoid any praying eyes.

Sanguinael: I should be in the clear.

He then walks out of the alley and heads towards the guild building, once he arrived he opens the door to an empty guild except for the administrator herself.

Lisa: Ah Sanguinius you're back! Is the rumor true?

Sanguinael: No administrator, I searched far and wide of the forest and there was no evidence of the Demon queen being there.

Lisa: I see. I will report your findings to the Guild Master tomorrow, you may leave Sanguinius.

He nods and left the building.

Lisa: Since the day he registered... Why were his stats all around infinite? I can't even stop thinking about it...

Lisa was forced to continue on thinking to herself.

At the Dark Realm Demon Castle

Iris had returned to the castle, when she was taken by surprise by her husband hugging her from behind.

S.K (Damiel): Welcome back dear, where did you go off to?

Iris: I was taking a stroll around the realm, nothing special.

Damiel's grip on her becomes ever so slightly harder.

S.K (Damiel): I know you are lying, you went to the northern forest and met Sanguinael there didn't you?

She was shocked on how did he find out.

Iris: I-I'm sorry love...

Damiel goes in front of her and holds her chin with his hand gently forced her to look at him.

S.K (Damiel): May I ask why?

Iris: It was just... I miss the old days... Of when how you and him were basically brothers...

Damiel started reminisce the past, where he was still a Grand Archangel.

Damiel (Past): Brother, if you ever wished to have someone in love then who would it be?

Sanguinael (Past): Why do you ask this Damiel?

Damiel (Past): Curiosity?

Sanguinael (Past): Then how about you answer first?

Damiel (Past): I have taken a liking towards Iris, she has the looks of a true beauty.

Sanguinael (Past): I see...

Damiel (Past): What about you, brother?

Sanguinael (Past): No one, I have no time for those kinds of things Damiel. Helping Father is my utmost duty.

Damiel (Past): Hmm... You are always like that.

Sanguinael (Past): If you have taken a liking to Iris, why don't you ask her?

Damiel (Past): Then I will.

He continued to reminisce the old times of when he and Sanguinael were brothers, some were good and some were bitter. He then finally snaps back to the present time.

S.K (Damiel): I know dear, but I do not want you to hear blessings from him.

Before he ends it, he then kissed his wife on the lips then seperates.

S.K (Damiel): But don't you dare think you aren't going off easy.

Iris gulped down the spit inside her mouth before sweating hard.

Iris's thoughts: Lilly, be ready to become a big sister. Because your father will be merciless this night...

She knew she wasn't going to survive the night.
