Sebastian gulped down his saliva before having his seat on the couch facing Sato's desk directly.
"So, what is it you wanted to tell me?" Sato asked, his hand softly caressing the back of the Celi slime.
"Uhn… Duke Vlad told me to deliver a message to you regarding the Royal Selection and the…".
"If you are here to tell me I can no longer participate in it, I totally understand… I was the one that left halfway through." Sato hinted before Sebastian could finish his words.
Sebastian spoke back, "It's the opposite actually… he told me you won the selection after the second stage".
Sato's eyes broadened in surprise but he made sure not to show it, "What do you mean by that? Are you saying they all forfeited at the last stage?" He asked.
"I wasn't provided that information, all I was told was you won and… The Duke told me to tell you he is ready to give his support in the war". Sebastian informed Sato, revealing everything Vlad told him.
A smirk showed on Sato's face as he spoke, "Looks like the old man kept his promise… very well!" He jerked up from his chair, "It's getting dark, you can spend the night here and then tomorrow, you and I make our way to Nervek".
"A-And there's something else he also told me to tell you." Sebestain also sprung up from his seat.
"There's more?" Sato asked.
"Regarding the war, Duke Vald said to tell the Lord of elves, The demon lord Jira plans to attack in one week time… be prepared, I will help as much as I can, and the people of Nervek are behind you." Sebastian quoted Vlad's exact words.
"The Duke said this?" Divanchi chimed in, "Why would the Demon lord tell his plans to the Duke?".
"It's a game… he knows Vlad is on my side so he's trying to mess with me…" Sato uttered, a grin showing on his face as magic essence escaped his body, "I'm going to strip that title off him with my Goddamn hands".
"While we are on that matter, Master, I should remind you the witch's council wants to have a word with you." Yuri uttered from behind.
Sato sighed, "Change of plans, I'll have to speak with the witches first thing tomorrow morning and then, I'll head off to Nervek right after that".
"I-I understand." Sebestain replied, sighing from the intense tension he was feeling.
...
As Sato said, Sebastian spent the night in the village, patiently waiting for the next day so he could head back to Nervek and stay by Erza's side.
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ Sato on the other hand was relaxing in his hot bath, he built the place specifically for himself, anytime he needed to cool off.
'Aril? Any report now?' Sato raised a question as he laid in the bath.
<<I do, but also, I do think you should reconsider the action you are about to take, the God realm and the human realm was separated for a reason>>
'Reconsider?... You knew about the death and chose to hide it from me… and now you are telling me to reconsider?'.
<< Your success in the Royal Selection seemed more important than the loss of a single villager…>>
"Two innocent lives!!!" Sato yelled in anger before taking a deep breath to calm himself down, 'Just.. tell me what you found'.
<<As you wish… the goddess of death Hal resides in the human territory somewhere in a country named Delaware,
She is known to be the gateway to the afterlife and the main life… she helps secure the souls of the deceased. So there's a 98% chance she is currently in possession of both Latina's and Elena's soul>>
'Perfect… I can go alone… get their souls and be back before the war could even begin.' Sato smiled, knowing he had found a way to bring back Elena and Latina.
<<I should warn you though, the goddess of death Hal is never alone, she has three main entities guarding her at all times, Sorrow, pain and misery, her three cardinal guardians, although you are strong, you are still mentally unstable, going alone is not advised.
I should also had, thinking you'll be back before the war start is hopeful wishing, although you might not miss the war, you'll most definitely arrive once it has already started>>
Sato suddenly put on a deadpan expression on his face before replying, 'I'm sure I'll think of something…'.
<<And how do you plan to acquire the souls? I doubt the goddess of death would just have it to you>>
"Simply, I'll ask… and if she ignores… well… then I'll take it back the old fashion way".

*Main capital of Fiona*
Jira was seated in his throne room, he had just finished attending to some military matters and was trying to rest a little before he continued.
"Demon lord Jira." Lilith walked into the room with the legendary book in her hands.
"Urrrgh, Lilith, I thought I told you, I wanted to be left alone for a while, whatever you want to tell me can wait till later." Jira spoke without hearing what she had to say.
"It's about the Lord of elves, Sato Inugami." Lilith hinted, "But I understand, I'll come back later." She held the book to the side and began to walk away.
"Hold on." Jira voiced out, "On second thought, tell me what's it about".
Lilith gave out a smirk before she turned and faced Jira, "The book just informed me on The lord of Elves next move." She uttered, walking up to Jira as she flipped open the book.
The book that Lilith had, had been known to tell its users whatever step the person written in the book is about to take, and this is what Jira and Lilith had been using for a while.
"What did it say?" Jira asked.
"Well, it says… Sato Inugami is planning on visiting the goddess of death… nothing else but that." Lilith informed, "Do you want to ignore these ones like you did the rest, or are you finally going to make a move?".
Jira chuckled, "The goddess of death uhn?... I wonder, what are you planning, Sato Inugami?" He muttered to him with a glued grin on his face.
