"I'm seriously not in the mood right now." The glowered with a very deep sight that echoed into the distance. It was very obvious that she was upset and Whizzle's joke weren't helping to alleviate any of the stress her mind was being weighed with. The weight of the problem that faced her hit her like a truck and so fast that it was like as fast as a bullet train. Her mind was harshly being crushed under the gravity that she had to realize that her grandfather was going to pass away and there was nothing she could do about it. He refused to be treated pushing away any assistance that was provided to help give him relief. From his perspective she knew he was in a lot of pain, but it certainly did help when Whizzle made jokes. "Are you here to annoy me now? Right now I don't have time to bother with idle jokes. I must return to the manor and rest my head for a bit so if you don't have anything important to say then I'll be on my way. Also, this sword belongs to my my mother's father and no I didn't steal it from him? Do you take me for a hooligan? Don't compare me to you! He's... he's... he's..." Nevermind, it's not important!" She yelled as it was obvious she was very upset by the facial expressions she expressed along with the tears that roll down her cheek from her eyes.

"Looks like there's trouble." Luther said toward Nathan when he noticed that some of Aodeos men were engaged in battle. One of the women briefly pointed toward the house and lip synched to him that the woman he was looking was inside. He followed her advice when she told him to enter from the back since he could being lead into a trap. When he approached the door he noticed that someone had entered the door earlier due to the condition the door currently was in. Hoping that Nathan was still in tow he decided to go inside and made sure he kept a close eye out in case this other person set up an ambush. He had no idea who just broke into the house from the backdoor or when it had happened, but judging by the state, it couldn't have been too long ago.

Luther then stepped out into one of the largest rooms in the house announcing that he had brought Nathan then flipped on one of the lights as luminance gazed into the surroundings giving sight to the location, "Okay witch, I've brought the person you're looking for like you've asked so now you can hand over Chloris." He demanded toward the woman as he awaited for her to appear. Meanwhile hidden in the shadows in the house was a pink haired girl wearing a flimsy provocative tank-top along with a Chinese style dress that was slitted so you could see her legs plainly.

Chloris who was cutting away at her bonds finally freed her wrists from the coils of rope that bound them. Now all she needed to do was remove the coils of rope forcing her hands behind her back below her breasts and she could finally move her hands freely. She moved her arms upward slowly, but carefully as she hacked away at the ropes that held her hands behind her back. She tried to ignore the sinister delight of having a hostage that Malice seemed to be giving off by her behavioral aura.

"I thank you. Enjoy your return and may the blessings provided by Windgrace and the various gods and goddesses who oversee our haven guide you toward prosperity." Erialyss answered back toward Alexander as he dismissed himself from the Queen's presence. The Queen, herself, decided to return to what she was doing earlier and finish the preparations for the official coronation and as well put together a plan for a banquet which she would soon pass onto the head chef of her main royal kitchen. She had many invitations to send to various lands including ones that weren't a part of the continent that their nation was on. Anyone was invited and though she wasn't sure that Guardia or Rudoria would accept the invites, but she would send them out regardless. She knew from her sources that Guardia was holding their own official coronation which they invited Erialyss and her subjects to be a part of and honor with their presence for Clarence's sister Alice.

The Queen agreed to the invitation feeling sorry for the sister who lost bother her brother and sister to a devious sinister cult she knew all too well. Due to this event she heightened the security and banned certain people from going to Skyraphalia. Her new edict would only allow those who were born naturally in the country of Windgrace aside from a few noble house exceptions with permission to enter the Sky City. She also needed to make sure no one ever got their hands on their head defense network Z.E.U.S. A program she coded herself and the only known password to the defense network is known by her and anyone who she trusts discreetly with this information. Aside from her, the only other people she has told the activation codes to are her surrogate daughter Meira, Ranathia, Siianthaliae, Luther, Archduke Valerius, Rhadamanthus and a few other high governing officials including a few that make up the Edifice of Regents. That was news she passed onto the main council member of the EoR she talked to earlier who was Rhadamanthus. She informed him to change the restrictions and increase the security detail so that nothing like what happened in Guardia could ever happen inside her country. Sanctions were placed on the Island of Xi who were the ones held responsible by the EoR for the Guardia family holocaust and all goods were to be rerouted to Lumina and would be transported by airship from Windgrace's ally.

"Sir Alexander, the Queen wishes to have these." A soldier said stopping Alexander for a moment handing him a folder with documents in it. "Contains some very important documents inside it. The first is the new edict she has announced which is centered around security and securing the borders of Windgrace. This was also decided by the EoR and sanctions have been enforced against the Island of Xi though they are light ones. The second is your official invitation to the coronation. Good day, Lord Alexander." He dismissed himself before apologizing for interrupting him and returning to his post so he did not get into trouble by the guard captain.

"This time I will take you down!" Siia exclaimed at Aodeos with fury lit in her eyes. She had tried to take down the person once before, but he knocked her unconscious letting her live. She didn't understand why he healed her injuries that time and why he let her live the last time she crossed blades with him. Like last time she knew fighting him would not be easy. He was exceptionally skilled in combat and a very well-known strategist who could even pull people to his side making him one of the most dangerous sociopath terrorists in existence. She knew all too well how he used people and let them get consumed into his own madness and swallowed up into nothingness. Once again Siia drew Broniac into her hand and Miia drew into her which surprised Siia completely when she drew out one blade forged from complete darkness and the second from the luminance of the radiance. She knew the second sword was the legendary Sword of Sigma and the first was the Sword of Kreosus. The swords were dangerous in the hands of someone who could not control them and Miia somehow could use these swords like Savraj Zamora.

"Did anyone tell you, Siia? You look so cute when you're are in your youthful form. You look like a real lady mankiller in that form. Damn look at that body of yours!" Aodeos remarked still not taking any action where his last remark bemused Siia turning her completely off. She was not at all impressed by his sick disgusting humor where she let him know it by her cruel and harsh words afterwards. "A pedophile like yourself could never open my heart. You're an eyesore in my eyes." 

Aodeos grinned as he motioned toward both girls to come at him which they did. He did not move at all and when their blades collides he managed to catch both of them. The first blade Broniac with his chain and the two blades Miia held with his scythe blade. "I must say, for being completely not human. You two are the most beautiful women I've ever laid my eyes upon." He answered with flattery as he spun around in a three-sixty degree angle trying to knock both women off balance, but only managed to knock them back where both trained girls backflipped landing on their feet and rose back to their feet. He smirked in admiration toward them both, "Impressive."

"Hiyah!" Melianth yelled as she tried to strike Duress only to have them move too quickly away, but managed to reveal that the person had long hair and cause a cut own their clothes which revealed Duress was a woman. All she could tell from what she saw right now while trying to remain focused is that Duress was a female adversary and that she had long jet black hair. She couldn't really see her face and her eyes were really difficult to see too. She did know that this woman was exceptionally skilled in the artistry of strategy.

She then wanted to test if Duress eyes were as quick as she could strike her sword. She decided to rely on one of her old techniques which she hadn't used in awhile which used the Lightning Sword technique specializing in fast stabs, slices and slashes with high proficiency. "Let's see if you can keep up with this! NEVERENDING MASSACRE OF DOUBLE SLASHES!!!" She yelled atop her breath as her sword strokes become faster than a normal eye could see and even Duress was having a hard time evading the fast striking ability of Melianth. Her slashes came at her like a blur and were afterimaging which made avoiding them even more difficult for Duress. She knew that Melianth was indeed a Master of the Sword if she knew the famous Raitoningusōdo Senryaku swordstyle. It was one of few famous swordstyles that was passed down any female that was related to the Exrius family line and it was only taught orally and never by shown strategy.
