As Botis listened he kept a close eye on Lucille, something still seemed very strange about her and he noticed that Ciara shared these thoughts. He decided to begin a conversation with her.

"So Lucille, where are you from? You said you moved to this village not too long ago, thus I wonder." he said, trying not to sound suspicious of her.

"Oh dear, I've been to lots of places. I'm a traveler, having also been to bigger kingdoms nearby. But I grew up in a small village and this one reminded me of it. And something... made me stay here." she said adding a kind smile afterwards. "But you are Count Botis, are you not? A demon? Does that mean you're from the Underworld?"

"Uhm... yes indeed I am." Botis answered slightly confused. Lucille asked the questions as if she had zero knowledge of demons and the Underworld despite having heightened senses. he felt like she was hiding more than she wanted to reveal. "It is quite a lovely place if I say so, a lot more dead than here." he continued acting casual.

There was a pause before Lucille continued. "You like this girl being your mistress? From what I hear she lacks in magic, I can't do magic, but perhaps I can be a better mistress for you then her."

Botis looked annoyed. "I don't know where this is coming from, but you better shut the fuck up. I know you're hiding something, I'll find out sooner or later." at that moment Rico stepped in front of Lucille quickly followed by Ciara stepping in front of Botis. Now Botis got a full confirmation from his mistress that she also knew something strange was going on with this supposed human, Lucille.

As the plan of attack began the topic quickly derailed. Soon Botis and Lucille found themselves in a confession or rather secret between Rico and Ciara. Although they didn't explicitly said it Botis drew the conclusion that Rico's father was the one who killed Ciara. He wondered what became of her after that, has she been living alone at such a young age? Or was there a third party he did not yet know about? One thing was clear is that his hate for Rico's father only grew. His mistress approached him and he tried to hide his anger.

"Yes my mistress?"
