Pinlana was on the mirrored with her " did you hear ? Hahahaha..."

Nana : about what ?

Pinlana : it's all over the papers. Sorry. I mean Eldrin's anyway. Let me read it . Grey's Manor, lit on fire by lightning. Only several remain.

Nana : that's a nice headline

Pinlana ; this is so obvious done by Joy.

Nana : and I thought Yui would do it for me ~~

Pinlana : well. I'm sure Mr Yui put the order.

Nana : A few remain... Why not all ?

Pinlana ; warning only works if you have survivors. He spread your name, Lollita witch.

Nana sighed " that totally defeats the purpose I asked Yui to do."

Pinlana ; he used it I guess.

Nana ; I can't even ask them for this tiny help ? So mean.

Pinlana ; Miss. I know you and Joy are okay with sharing intelligence, but you want me to share everything?

Nana ; the book sprites. Whatever you get from there , it's ours. Don't share with joy. But whatever your other subordinates find. Share it.

Pinlana ; intelligence can determine a victory in a fight. Are you sure ?

Nana : it's ok. Whatever Joy truly wants is probably what I'm planning. Which he can't get through you because I don't tell you either. You won't tell him what kind of intelligence I want either. He will make his own to track me.

Pinlana : makes sense.

Nana ; don't worry Joy is not so stupid to not make an intelligence for himself to use . But he will still take advantage of the one I made. It's wider.

Pinlana ; it's almost like you don't mind losing.

Nana ; I won't lose Pinlana. Not even if Joy is good at what he does.

The manager of the cafe in Eldrin that was abused by the Grey was now working in the Victoria Apartments as a butler .

Allison : are you looking for something? Robbie.

Robbie : I'm supposed to make dinner now. Looking for a big pot

Allison: it's in the store room. Let me bring you.

Yui comes in to the kitchen " it's ok. I'll cook tonight."

Robbie : my food is very bad ?

Yui ; no. Just feel like it tonight. How are you doing here so far ?

Robbie : needs a bit to navigate but I'm ok I think.

Yui : good.

Robbie : me as a butler... Seems unqualified

Yui ; Robbie. You're doing ok. Juliet left you a list didn't she ?

Robbie ; she did . It was very helpful

Yui ; then you're doing fine. Joy. I have something to talk to you about.

Joy walks backwards after he passes the kitchen door " yes ?"

Yui walks joy to the study " it's about what Nana said. A half deal completed is still not a complete deal. It's not counted. "

Joy ; which is she talking about?

Yui ; I am talking about us trying to stop her at Polusia .

Joy : hmm... Mama doesn't like doing this job so she'll take the shortest way she knows how...

Yui ; I'm not talking about how we're stopping her.

Joy ; sorry. I got distracted. Then what do you mean ?

Yui ; what's the other half of the deal she needs to complete ? I thought all along its just about destroying god or demi-god countries.

Joy ; ..... Hmm... I can't find out something she doesn't want to tell me. You know someone else she might tell?

Yui : Azelin won't tell us anything. Those two are old folk's home buddies.

Joy sweatdrops " old folk's ? " They arrived at the study. Joy starts to make some coffee " aren't you both meant for that instead?"

Yui: gods don't get old per say

Joy: Really? The wealth god has a beard and all that.

Yui: you know how humans get white hair when they get too hardworking and tired? That's what happened to him

Joy: eh?!! That's how it works ? You grow a beard when you get stressed?

Yui: white beard. white longer hair.

" Eh?!!! " Joy brings Yui a cup " sugar?" Yui takes it over " no need." and he sips a mouth in.

Joy: Mama likes 3 sugars. Papa can drink bitter neh.

Yui: I wanted her to forever have something sweet...

Joy: Anyways, you could ask her. What was the other half of the deal.

Yui: she won't tell me.

Joy: you want to stop her right ? You can't always be this soft hearted.

At the gazebo of the Lulurei Lake. Lulurei lake was a location just at the border of Polusia, the lake sat right outside really closely to it.

Resna was waiting with a set of tea at the table. He was surrounded with guards.

" Hello King Polusia the 15th. " Tedine waves.

" How are you be so rude ?!"

Resna : it's ok. Let him in.

Tedine lets himself in as the guards let pass " they're too annoying . Send them away ?"

Resna : leave us.

" But my king !!"

Resna ; it's fine. He needs me.

The guard nods and leaves them.

Resna ; where's Nana ?

Tedine : oh. She's not coming.

Resna : she went through all that trouble to ask me out and she doesn't show her face ?

Tedine : If she comes, that other god would take notice and come too .

Resna: and if you come, he wouldn't ?

Tedine: he can't

Nanalise was back on the Middle World realm and was in Dalius' house.

Nanalise: not going to even let me have tea?

Dalius: not afraid I try to poison you?

Nanalise: my mama has a boilling cauldron. You think you can poison me ?

Dalius: not using your Trade god powers? Have you lost it ?

Nanalise: I am not Xerxes. Using Trade god powers whenever and wherever.

Dalius: isn't that exactly what you are supposed to do ?

Nanalise: That's wasteful. When on the mortal realm, I have to act like a human you know.

Dalius ; why are you here? Nanalise.

An attendant serves up tea and leaves.

Nanalise: Adamus forced me to make a deal. destroy all god or demi-god countries.

Dalius laughed " so you will destroy my country? It's not about war. You yourself will do it. That's what you are saying?"

Nanalise: if I don't do it... He will kill my Izuya, destroy my family.

Dalius: sucks being you. So you are here being the pity party hoping I will just let you do it ?

Nanalise: .... make it easy for me. I don't want to do this either. I couldn't be more bothered.

Dalius: The Divine one that bothered about me claiming humans as mine ?

Nanalise: Clearly.

Dalius: you are going to use god powers? 

Nanalise: gods are not allowed to mass murder. Rules apply to me.

Dalius: I see. Then since you are here, I should try to kill you isn't it ?

Nanalise sighed " you could. I am supposed to die by the end of this anyway."

Dalius: ooi. Don't do that face. I finally got excited to be against you. Fight me. 

Nanalise: I'm surprised you don't hate me.

Dalius: Cos of my mother? She is a bit crazy. But she did it for me. I did some crazy shit too. It was fun. You killed me by accident. My mother took your part to revive me. *shrugs* Kind of fair.

Nanalise: Dalius, run away. Let the country go. Play something else.

Dalius: don't want.

Tedine: are you tired of being controlled by a god? 

Resna: what do you mean ?

Tedine: you must  do what he says. What meaning is there in being a King. Do you have any real power?

Resna: he blesses us. In ways we need.

Tedine : In exchange for... ?

Resna: .... we need him.

Tedine: do you. There are other countries that don't have or use a god.

Resna: .... what do you want? Ask me to abandon or worse.... Retaliate... a god?

Tedine laughed a little " you look very afraid when you said retaliate. Are you afraid of what's that called? Divine punishment." Tedine continues to laugh just a bit louder " I am so sorry." He tries to get calm down but only continues laughing.

Resna; what's so funny?

Tedine takes a deep breath then downs the tea " sorry. I have calmed down. I promise."

Divine punishment? No, gods do whatever they like. Rarely there is any right or wrong . Maybe only when you die and get judged.

There is a Divine one though. One that all gods are afraid of.

Punishment? He never gives one. To me, he is just someone who wants to play a game with the rules he set.

Resna: you don't believe it? 

Tedine: sorry. That's not what I mean.

Resna: well you work under a god. She doesn't give punishment?

Tedine: Punishment requires judgement upon a set of rules. You need to believe you are on the right or wrong side. She doesn't believe in that

Resna: in judgement? How's that possible.

Tedine: In right or wrong side. She takes deals based on what she likes or don't like. There is no too much evil or too far based on what her dealee wants.

Resna: if you do something wrong, she won't punish you?

Tedine: she revenges. Many time fold or based on her mood.

Resna: such a wilful god.

Tedine: thank you. We take it as a compliment. We're going to give you back control. Try hard not to disappoint us , like trying to kill us while we are in the country even if your god says so.

Resna: then get out.

Tedine: I am out.

Resna: like far away. Back to where you came from.

" leaving... bye." Tedine starts walking out.

Resna : wait !! How would you know if I would follow through?! I didn't agree!!
