Essure laughed heartily in his chair " she's back. I knew she didn't die. She couldn't die just like that. " Then he stared coldly to Neva who was sitting opposite him comfortable in the couch sipping a cup of coffee.

Neva : what ?

Essure : you knew.

Neva : I couldn't have known . I was almost killed by her husband , mind you.

Essure ; I thought you always thought yourself as her husband.

Neva : she doesn't . That hurts but what could I do.

Essure : men always want the things they don't want huh.

Neva : you talking about yourself ?

Essure shrugged " fake death. I didn't think a god like her would like to play such tactics. They're usually so... "

Neva : so.....?

Essure : straightforward. Cos they're a lot more powerful than mortals so they don't care about taking the roundabout way. What's the purpose of taking such a roundabout way ?

Neva shrugged.

Essure : come on. You were her man.

Neva : I'm not a thing.

Essure ; guess.

Neva : either she's planning something so she hid away. Or... Nah it couldn't be

Essure ; what ?

Neva ; she didn't want to play. So she ran away. Hide. Away.

Essure : .... Naaah ....

Neva finishes his coffee " so... Can I go now ?"

Essure : yup.

Neva stands up and leaves his couch . He heads towards the door and held onto the handle to push it down. Suddenly a cup comes flying in his direction. He dodges it and it crashes into the door.

Essure : you met her before you came to me. Don't think we're kind of chummy then I'm an idiot. I'm a demi-god.

" Haha. " Neva pushes the door open and leaves.
________________________________

Nana returns back to the Victoria Apartments . She see her children and Izuya in the room from below. She could see the lights and their silhouette.

Ruin : not going home ?

Nana : if I go , they'll be chased out. They have no home.

Ruin : you created that home didn't you ?

Nana : I rather they stay. At least I know they're here.

Then a few honks was heard from behind her. She turns around " who's that ?"

Ruin shrugged " my car is still there. "

She walked over and the door opened as if inviting her in. She continues forward when someone pulls her backwards. " Nanalise."

Only one person would call her that way. She turned her head "Izuya."

Yui : sighs. Nana. don't go.

Nana : you know who it is ?

Yui ; I can feel it. He's seeping his aura and magic on purpose. Can't you feel it ?

Nana looks to the car " ..... No. "

Yui ; no... ?

Nana ; who is it ?

Tedine comes walking over " it's the demi-god. Essure. "

Nana : he knows I'm alive and back. He wants to talk to me.

Yui ; I'll go.

Nana ; it's ok. Tedine and Ruin will be enough.

Yui ; I see how it is.

Nana : then be on my side. I want Yui to be with me. Yui and Nana was always together .

He lets go of her arm " Yui is doing this so that Yui can still always be together with Nana. "

Nana : .... Yui...

Yui : Be safe.

She nods and enters the car. With a click the car extends into a limousine . Ruin and Tedine enters next.
.
.
.
Sitting in the car or rather limousine was Essure.

Essure: 2 lackeys. I heard there was a strife. So you have only 2 now ? How are you going to play the game with me now ?

Tedine : children. Son. Not lackey.

Essure ; oh.

Ruin ; no not me. I'm really just a guard.

Essure ; you've let me grow. Should I spare you some resources?

Nana : I'm not here to play with you . It's not why I revived myself

Essure ; more like you never died.

Nana ; I did. As a human.

Essure : that's a lie. I know it. You know it. They know it.

Nana : what do you want ? Also since we're in a car , could you drive me like just one round to anywhere and back to Victoria Apartments ? Ruin's car is still there.

Essure ; you're still going back there ? They've taken over the place. You only have 2 ....

Tedine : ahem . Be nice.

Essure : 2 people.

Tedine : thank you.

Essure : I'm so happy you're back. You can finally play the game.

Nana : I'm not playing.

Essure ; you took my grip on the country's finances away. Yes. You are playing.

Nana ; you've got the princess now.

Essure ; well. I would have to try so hard to get her to be the inherited and also plan to kill the king.

Nana : Ruin. I'm bored. Can we stop the car ?

" Certainly. Miss. " Ruin opens the car window and lets some of his magic ash into the cracks of the machine.

Essure : crass. Don't spoil it. Stop the car !

So the car comes to a stop. Ruin gets off first and helps Nana off the car . Tedine comes off next.

Nana : don't play with fire. Or I'll have to come after you next.

Essure laughed " to kill me ?"

Nana : to kill a demi-god who made a country his.

Essure ; that's against the rules ?

Tedine ; no. There's no rules about that up there. Just a mission she's been put on by someone else.

Essure ; someone else ?

Tedine : even if Miss stops you once here. You'll still try won't you ?

Essure : of course.

Tedine : killing the king. Getting the princess to be the next in succession. Controlling the princess of queen by then. Do you , have that much confidence though?

Essure: I'll have something in my hand by then.

Tedine : ah . A chip. But that's as far as you'll go right ?

Essure ; as far as I'll go .... *Laughs* gods can bless a country. Why can't I.

Tedine : it's as you hoped or not hoped Miss !!

Nana : ugh... Troublesome.

Tedine : it's annoying we've got more things to do now. Unless...

Essure : that's what you're afraid of ? Then that I must do.

Nana : anything I could dissuade you ?

Tedine : the more you say that , the more he'll do.

Just then a car drives towards them.

Tedine try to takes a look " that smell. It's our other car. Oh hey. I can see who's inside there. "

Nana : .... He followed us ?

Ruin ; didn't see him in the back mirror. How did he track us ?

Yui leaves the driver seat " time to go. Nana. "

Nana : Yui. How come you're here. I thought....

Yui : Shadow Demon will always come pick Nana up. Get in.

Ruin ; does this mean you're driving ?

Tedine swings his hand , Ruin squats down and the swing misses his head. Ruin looked up " you're childish. "

Tedine : you're childish!! You're a guard !! You drive !!

So they got onto the car and left driving him by.

________________________________

Ruin drives to the new address given my Yui. The car stopped and it reached its destination. It was a one floor stand-alone house with a snowflake ornament on the top.

She got out of the car " I don't understand..."

Yui ; this is your house now. We won't move so you'll know where we always are. So I told Joy to prepare a place where we know where you'll always be.

Ruin : it's not a far distance from Victoria Apartments.

Nana hugs him tightly " I'll miss you a lot. Can I still go see you sometimes ?

Yui ; of course. You're my wife. You can come look for me anytime.

Tedine : except she's going to be real busy doing the thing and stopping you.

Yui strokes her hair " anytime you change your mind. We're home. Ok ?"

She nodded as she buried her head in his chest " mmm.... Um...."
