Resna : Nana. I didn't think I would be able to see you again. I heard you died.

Nana : people can fake their deaths.

Resna : I guess they could. Brought someone with you today. No sniping like the day you tried to kill my father ?

Nana : it got you the seat isn't it ?

Ruin ; also who says I can't kill you still.

Resna laughed " you mean die trying at least. "

Ruin : there's no one in this room now. Are you confident in your fighting skills ? King of Polusia

Resna ; what a mouth. Nana. How about becoming a citizen of mine ?

Nana ; don't want. I didn't agree then. I won't agree now.

Resna : why ? Because gods can also be subservient to another if they got that kind of tattoo?

Nana ; .... He showed yourself to you ?

" Well. You were coming. I had to appear. " A male showed himself.

Nana : ... I never thought it would be you. You're no longer even a bit of a Trade god. I took it back from you. Dalius.

Dalius ; but I'm still a god.

Nana : hiding in Shadenia then... You were hiding this bigger secret instead. Misdirection

Dalius : this realm is fun. If I were just to watch it from up there , it would be too boring.

Nana smirked " truth about that. " Then her face turned annoyed " I thought you were punished."

Dalius : well. My mother was the one doing the crazy things. *Shrugged* I was let off .

Nana ; tsk. You pushed it all on her. Played the pity role. Those idiots believed the story ?

Dalius ; haha. Of course not. Stealing a Fates Typewriter was very bad. Had to do some... Community service the humans call it. But... With a bit of bribery. You know the underworld. Anybody will do.

Nana ; what do you want ? Dalius.

Dalius ; Nanalise. I know you made a deal with the Queen of Eldrin. So you coming here , are you declaring war on me ?

Nana ; what ? You like this country this much ? Asking me so straight in the face. You think I'll tell you ?

Dalius ; don't make me kill you. You're weak against the sunlight aren't you ?

Nana : I don't represent Eldrin to declare war with you.

Dalius : don't tell me you're here just for business.

Nana : I am. Here. Just for business.

Dalius : you can't expect me to believe that.

" Then don't. " She smashes the stone in her hand and she teleports.

Dalius ; teleport stone ? Not using teleportation?

Resna : that's not normal ?

Dalius ; gods don't need things like that. Then again... She can't use god powers. Saving up her sacrifice huh.

What are you here for ?

________________________________

She was teleported back to the hotel room. The corresponding teleportation stone in the room shatters .

Juliet ; welcome back. Miss.

Nana : um. Juliet. Your ability is to be able to turn things small right ?

Juliet ; and back to their original size. Yes.

Nana : then find a way to get into the castle and send that idiot a message. Make sure no one is there except him. Tedine will go with you.

Tedine : ok. Got it.

Nana : since I'm here... Let's see if he kept up with the promise.

Nana and Ruin walked into the cake shop " hi. I would like to order a big cake. One with cherries and a topping of a lollita witch. Special request."

The manager nods " please follow me to choose a design ."

The two followed to the back past the baking kitchen and downwards to the lower floor.

The manager kneeled with one leg down " you're the founder aren't you ? The , lollita witch. I never thought that that..." He looked past her at the pictured frame on the wall.

Ruin sweatdropped " it's not like she's dead. Just don't like to see people."

Nana nodded " um um. What he said."

" It's an honour. Boss. "

Ruin ; she prefers to be called Miss.

" I understand. Miss. "

Nana : The Vines didn't take down this place ?

" They try. But the king stopped them. From wrecking this establishment anyway. I guess he had to keep the promise to you."

Nana : your men ?

" The Vines hunted us. One by one. So most of us went into hiding. Only a few of us stay to keep this shop operating. We can only act as a sub par intelligence relay now."

Nana : Pinlana is back. She didn't reach out ?

" Yes. She did. But most are still concerned about being hunted."

Nana ; your name is...

" Olfa. Miss. "

Nana ; you are brave and did well. Olfa. Give me the names who went into hiding.

Olfa ; may I ask what for ?

Nana ; I am going to war. I have no time for such nonsense. I will tell Pinlana. These people will have to either give me someone else who can work in place of them , or they can choose themselves to die. That would be convincing right ?

Olfa ; Miss... That's... Violent.

Nana : I'm fine with it. Scared of The Vines ? Intelligence itself is getting yourself killed. What the hell are these people talking about

Olfa ; true... But if there could be some incentive along with the threat... I could ask them to come back easier.

Nana : olfa. Rebuilding this place as it used to be is your responsibility. If you need money, find Joy.

Olfa ; about that... I heard....

Nana ; don't worry. The money will come.

Ruin ; don't worry about The Vines. They've learnt a lesson or two not to mess with us anyhow they like

Olfa : I understand

________________________________

Juliet and Tedine were in the long hallways as tiny people.

Tedine : we're never going to reach there at this speed ! Make us back to original size .

Juliet ; what if we get discovered ?

Tedine sees a pushing cart with food on it " let's ride on it."
.
.
.
As predicted the food cart was pushed to the king's dining table. The food was served and the cart was pushed out.

The two has got off of course

Juliet; how did you know ?

Tedine : I heard the chef talk just now. It's ready send this over.

Juliet touches Tedine and then the both of them returned their original size.

Resna's mouth was covered as he tried to yell.

Juliet ; I'm letting go. Please don't yell.

Resna nodded. Juliet lets go

Tedine ; Miss Nana has a message for you

Resna ; this is a lot of effort don't you think.

Tedine : a message for you when that god isn't here.

Resna ; what message ?

Tedine ; Meet you at the Lulurei Lake. There's a gazebo there.

Resna : that's it ?

Tedine : a lot of trouble for one message. Couldn't know if you were going to read it when that god is here.

Resna ; so you believe in gods ?

Tedine : I know you do.

Resna ; I mean that, they exist.

" does it matter ? We'll see ourselves out." Tedine opens the big door.

Juliet : eh ? Just walk out like that ?

Tedine : it's ok. We'll just say we teleported in with approval. He won't report is. Right ?

Resna : that's a lot of confidence.

Tedine: well... You are curious what my Miss wants to offer right ? See you.
