The king of the Underworld smiled to himself, nodding at the girl's words. Seeing that her superior understood what she said, she opened the door and left without saying another word.

---------

[Name] yawned in exhaustion, stretching herself while walking towards the Devil King's throne room. As she opened the door, her eye landed on the group that she treated cruelly from the last three days.

"What's the occasion? Why are you all here?" The h/c-nette asked.

"What timing you have, [Name]. Never been better." The king of the Underworld spoke sarcastically. A vein popped out of [Name] forehead as she heard those words but instead of hiting the guy here and now, she maintained her cool and walked towards the group, standing beside Akimitsu.

Minsuh raised her hand before asking a question, "so? What do we have here?"

Lucifer caught her attention and started the discussion. "Now that the last sin is here, a number of people will start coming here."

The group nodded at Lucifer indicating him to continue his discussion. "Train those people into the soldiers I want. Strong, courageous, yet humble and kind soldiers."

"Okay, boss!" Naoki chirped. Lucifer then dismissed the generals except for Divya. The girl nodded and stayed behind. [Name] noticed that there was something behind why Lucifer had to remain her there.

"Hey, you guys. What do you think Lucifer wants with Divya?" [Name] asked making the people beside her stopped walking.

"We don't have an idea about that." Nine answered.

Minsuh who was beside Nine, eyed [Name] suspiciously. Then, she asked her a question. "How about you. Why do you casually say the King's name like he's your friend or something...?"

[Name] blinked at her twice before answering, "ah, well...let's just say that he's an acquaintance of mine in the past." The h/c-nette girl then proceeded on walking towards their office room.

The door to their office room closed loudly as the person entered the room. Minsuh first noticed it, and she greeted the person.

"Ah, you're finally back." Minsuh stated making the people turn to her. "So, what did you two discuss?"

"Um, its about that thing I've been sensing and I've also been told that we need to divide the people equally into our sections." Divya answered her.

"Sections?"

As soon as [Name] heard what Divya said, she intentionally slammed pieces of papers into her table and grinned. "She means our sins. People will be evaluated into the category or the sins they belong to."

"As she said." Divya acknowledge what [Name] explained. Then, the sin of Pride continued to discuss the remaining details the King had instructed her to do. Afterwards, the group dismissed themselves and went to do their preferred works or play around with things.

It was already night time in the underworld --although it wouldn't be really noticed by people who live above since the sky in the underworld is a bit different from above. A navy blue colored sky was partnered with an ivory colored cloud. It always has been that color even when it was daytime, and when it indicates that its almost night time, the sky was paired with a bit of merigold orange and lemon yellow hue. Then, the sky changes back to its original pigment after the 'sun' sets.

[Name] was walking around the palace trying to find a place where she could spend a little time with, because the e/c eyed girl couldn't sleep. She was at her most vulnerable for she had only been wearing her pair of shorts and a sleeveless shirt. But then again, she couldn't care less about it.

Meanwhile, Lucifer and Akimitsu was talking about the discussion the generals had earlier. The King wanted Akimitsu to know that they must treat the people correctly. And without a doubt, the young teen replied that they would do that in the first place.

"Oh and, Akimitsu?" Lucifer looked at him in the eye seriously for a moment, before closing his red eyes.

"Yes, sir?"

"Please tell the others to talk to [Name]. She's not that bad, you know."

Akimitsu nodded at the last sentence the King spoke. Then, he turned his heel, and walked out of the King's throne room. As he walked, nearing to his chamber, he saw [Name] outside. Sitting, like she was waiting for something. Akimitsu stared at her for a moment, then he sauntered towards to her.

"What are you doing?" Akimitsu uttered which startled [Name].

"Oh, its just you." [Name] sighed. She sat down at the small stairs she was standing at, and beckoned Akimitsu to sit with her. The guy took her offer and sat beside her.

[Name] didn't say anything to him but instead, she kept staring at the sky. As she was staring, Akimitsu took the opportunity to gaze at her. She was wearing her bedtime clothes but her bun and her eyepatch was still there. Seeing that she didn't removed it, Akimitsu asked her a question that he'd been wanting to ask ever since their encounter with her.

"Hey, why do you keep your eyepatch on?"

[Name]'s other eye widened a bit but then returned to its original size. She turned to him, a small grin on her lips. "Why'd you ask?"

Akimitsu didn't reply, and kept looking at her in the eye. The both of them stared at each other for a moment before [Name] stood up, her back facing Akimitsu.

"You know, sticking up your nose into people's other business is a bad habit." She said, "and in the end, curiosity will kill the cat."

Akimitsu knew that she was right. But he couldn't help being curious over it. Even if she wouldn't tell him why, he would still find a way to discover the secret behind her eyepatch.

Then in an instant, it was like something answered his desire to discover.

"If you badly want to know why, then some day would be a good time."[Name] said as she took a step away from him, her back still facing his. Akimitsu stood up as she walked away from him but didn't bother to ask another question or say anything relevant to his question earlier.

[Name] waved her hand for a bit before proceeding to walk to her room on the other side of the castle. "Good night, Akimitsu."
