" deal. " Mary reached her hand out to shake Nana's.

Edith : wait !!

Mary looked to Edith.

Edith : why don't the request be just rescuing your sister ?

Mary ; he's a scum !! Why should he still get to keep his riches ?!! If riches is what makes him a scum , then what's wrong with me requesting it to be gone ?

Edith : Nana. If she change her request, will be of lower price ?

Nana : well. It would be. A simple runaway mission.

Mary ; they have a lot of guards. Or I would have done that already.

Ruin ; we have something they cannot chase with.

Edith ; what would that price be ?

Nana : Tedine can quote you.

Tedine ; it would , take you a while to pay.

Edith : see.

Nana : though... There must be a reason you chose that specific request. Isn't it ?

Mary ; .... There is... To teach him a lesson...

Edith: but you would be tied to her. Is that even worth it ? To sell your freedom to her ?

Nana stands up " my coffee is finished... The conversation is over. We'll meet you at the mansion tonight. We'll make a deal then. You would have a decision by then right ?"

Mary nodded.

Nana : ok see you two.
________________________________

They were outside of the mansion gate.

Mary shakes Nana's hands and the deal was sealed.

Edith has just reached " what deal did you make ?"

Nana : you can follow us if you want to know. Ruin. Ready ?

Ruin : yup.

Tedine : we will wait outside here. They'll call us when they're done . Wouldn't want your dress to be bloody.

Mary ; oh ok.

Nana presses the bell. A guard comes to the door. Nana waves " hello. Looking for Mr Macbeth. The head of the house ? He told me to come here tonight. "

The gates open slowly outwards and with a wave of Ruin's hand , a motion horizontally, the ashes solidify as a blade and slices the guard's throat.

Edith: was that even necessary?!

Ruin ; I just can. So I did. He would be dead later anyway.

Edith ; she just asked you to save her sister isn't it ?!

Ruin ; they would be in the way later anyway.

They make their way down the road to the door. Nana knocks again " sighs. Should have let that guard at least announce us. "

A servant opens up " yes ?"

Nana : looking for Mrs Macbeth.

" She's asleep."

Nana : then wake her. Say her sister sends someone to her.

After a while , Elizabeth and his husband John heads down.

John ; it's so late at night now. I should have known your sister never have good friends. Here for money ?

Nana ; oh. It would be great if you could sign here though. Talking about money.

John hurries down the stairs and takes the contract over " Huuh ?!! Full heritance to her ?!!" John looks to Elizabeth. " So this is why she's here ?!!" He pulls onto her collar .

An ash slice cuts John's wrist. He lets go immediately.

Ruin : ei. Gentlemen should be kind to ladies. Especially their wives.

" This has nothing to do with you !!" He raises his hand to slap her to only get his wrist held backwards.

Ruin : you're a crude man.

John ; let go of me !! Guards !! Guards!!!

Nana : see they force me to take souls. Though I always love more.

The door barges open.

*Snap*

But the guard suddenly has his neck broken and he dies. In that instance he died. No , the one that followed behind him all had the same thing happen to them.

Edith noticed a whole patch of grass on the outside turned brown.

John ; what just happened...

Ruin let's go of his grip then kindly guides Elizabeth aside " it's ok. Mary sent us. You can trust me for now. " He guides her to sit on the sofa.

Nana ; there's only us and you now. Oh no.

John ; you ... You want my assets. That's it ? You'll ... You'll let me go ?

Edith: of course. That was, the deal. Right ? Get his riches.

Nana : the contract clearly said inheritance. Do you not understand what it means?

John ; wait wait wait. Mary . Mary right ? I promise to treat Elizabeth right. Never bully her again. No , if she wants I can even divorce Elizabeth and marry her instead. Please...please !!

Ruin ; this kind of man , you want to plead for him ?

Edith ; that's not the point !! We can't.... Can't...

Nana: can't... ? Can't play god ? I am one.

Edith: but you're here as a human!! So you have to act like one !!

Elizabeth then spoke " but... As a human... I rather he dies..."

Edith ; Elizabeth... He is your husband... There must be some good memories you have to marry him.

Elizabeth: I'm not sure... He married me... Only because I'm pretty. I ticked all the boxes for him to showoff as a good wife. I'm but a display tool.

Edith; then let him rot. Let him suffer. With no money.

Elizabeth: I guess.

" No !!! Kill him !!" Mary had just walked in.

Elizabeth: Mary.

Edith: but you don't have to !!

Elizabeth: he's right Mary. We don't have to carry that with us.

Mary ; he raped me !!! That's why he was ok with letting you buy the cafe for me !!!

Elizabeth: what...

Mary ; that's how he has been settling all his other girls.

John ; wait wait !!! What did she pay you ?!! I can pay you more !! I'm definitely richer than her !!

Nana ; I predicted this would happen. So I told her , if you counter bid her , her price would be her soul. So no matter how high you counter bid , I will still take hers.

" S...s...soul ? Why would you need..." John stutters and Ruin breaks his neck.

Ruin ; no blood. Clean job. I will go make an anonymous call.

________________________________

Nana leaves with Ruin behind her.

Elizabeth: so you're going to die now ?

Tedine ; no. She dies when she dies. Just her soul belongs to Miss' now. Whatever Miss request of her , she will obey.

Elizabeth: like a slave.

Tedine : yes. Except better ? Miss doesn't torture for no reason. She's very reasonable.

Mary : thank you.

Tedine : you're welcome. So. You're still going to stay here ?

Elizabeth: .... No. I'll sell it. Stay somewhere smaller. I've always thought it to be too empty

Tedine : I see. I'll leave now.

Elizabeth: wait. What will we tell the police?

Mary ; we will just say someone attacked the house. You hid in the cellar and didn't see anything. The scum must have people who hated him.

Tedine: see. You know how to lie already. Good life you two. While Mary , we will see each other again.
