Recommended Music: Dragonspine snow— Jody Chandra.

Elise looked unsurprised and this went noticed by the elder demons. "Did you know what I am about to do?" Leviathan questioned. He knew just how enormous the power her daughter have and possibilities for her to gain the ability to read minds were wide.

Elise shook her head, "I guessed it. What should I do when I met him?"

"I will do all the talk for now, we will try to negotiate," Leviathan answered, he and her both knew what Satan wanted.

"Negotiate with the devil would never work," Lucifer, who had went quiet answered. "Once he had made up on wanting something he will use anything to covet what he needs. Right now he wants Elise to become the Queen.

"There is a way," Leviathan answered, "That man would not agree until he get his goal and you are right at that but there is another way to change his mind. I am here Elise," Leviathan offered his daughter a smile, "I will help you. But for now there is one missing ingredient that we need to bring back Ian to life."

"What is it?" Elise quickly questioned. She can't express how she felt relieved there was her father, the only person who she could still trust now.

Leviathan thinned his lips as if it was difficult to bring the matter. "We need a part of Ian's body."

"But everything had been turned to ashes," Lucifer was the one to say, pushing his hair back again and frustratedly stepped his feet continuously on the floor. "Unless ashes works?"

Leviathan shook his head. "Once a being turn to ash it also mean they have nothing left. There should be something that isn't affected by time but also a living part of him."

Elise pulled her brows together. Wrecking her head as she tried to find what she could use. Ian had never gotten hurt so badly that he lost his limbs or fingers. There must be something else... something which is still a part of him but now isn't with him.

"A part of him but isn't with him?" Elise repeated her own thoughts to murmur. Her eyes suddenly brightened up and she looked toward her father. "I might know something. Ian's black wings. It had been burned by the green fire but Ian told me that the wings itself hadn't turned into ashes due to the green fire's peculiar nature."

"His wings," Lucifer lifted his face where one of his hands covered his mouth, "It is in the underground of Satan's castle."

"Underground," Leviathan clicked his tongue. It wasn't a good response from what Elise could see.

"Is there a problem with the underground?" Elise asked. "Is it something that cannot be solved?"

"Sadly yes. The underground is different. It is made by Satan but to open the door and for one to take the objects from inside it's close to impossible," answered Leviathan.

"I don't understand. He can open the door if I ask and negotiate with him, can I?" Elise didn't understand why they can't enter when they would be asking for Satan's permission soon.

"The one who hold the key to the underground per contract isn't Satan but Caroline. Caroline is... she is a high demon who is as stubborn as stone and as hot headed as the fires in Hell. You can try talking to her it's an attempt but if we can't enter—"

"We will try to force in. I understand," answered Elise without thinking twice. "And now, should we go to Hell?"

"The timing for the gate to open hasn't arrive yet. You should rest for now," Leviathan placed one hand over her shoulders. "We two will leave and have a little talk together. Meanwhile, you can rest in the room and I will come to you once the gate of Hell is opened."

Elise gave some time to think, "I am not tired. I don't think I can sleep."

"You don't have to sleep," Leviathan's voice was the gentlest he had ever used. "Just a rest is enough for you. Take your time as we won't know when we can have rest again."

Elise decided to agree as she was feeling numb all over. Part of her bodies were aching but there was a raw pain in her heart that sting agonizingly that she felt numb all over, she didn't even feel how her body was covered up in scratches. Walking out of the room to give her father and Lucifer a time of their own, she made her way toward the window. Seeing how the blood moon have passed, she know understood what the true meaning of the blood moon is and how once it had fulfilled it purposed, it disappeared all of a sudden, in the cruelest way possible.

Elise hit her head to the window's glass, feeling her pain growing from her heart when she thought that the warmth that she always felt from Ian's touch had left her now. She clutched the the fabric over her chest, squeezing it as tight as the twist that she felt in her heart.

"Lady..." Jett who had gained the appearance of a faceless person was worried even though he didn't have any expression on him but once could still feel the concern the shadow had toward its master.

"I'm alright," Elise said and she repeated the two words in another couple time in whisper. One would argue coming toward her room that she shared with Ian would only pain her but Elise think that her only solace was that room and slowly she dragged herself to the staircase. Upon reaching the second floor, she was suddenly remembered by the man who she defeated before chasing after Ian and Mila. She traced her steps toward the place only to frown as she suddenly saw how there was no body on the place.

"Jett," she called out for the shadows to sneak out with a tilted head.

"Strange... milady. I am sure I have defeated him here. His heart had stopped beating..."

Elise wondered if this was the enemy unique's power but seeing he had fled, Elise didn't chase because she could feel it from her gut that soon she will meet the man again. She was about to leave when her eyes caught a strange gleaming light that was reflected and buried under the ground.

Curiously, she bend her knees, reaching out her hands to try and take what was hidden beneath the rubbles to pull out a key. Looking at it, a sudden realization hit Elise. There were many keys in this world that she had seen and not seen. The key might appear pointless to others but to Elise it wasn't because she had seen it before in her vision. It was the key that the Dark Sorcerer Lord had.

The man who she had fought with wasn't a mere sorcerer but the lord of them himself!

"Lady Elise," a voice of Maroon came from behind her.

Turning her head, Elise gave him a nod, "What's wrong?"

"The people from Church have come to meet you. It is about the incident," answered Maroon mildly. Not wanting to bother Elise at the moment, he suggested, "Should I ask them to come again soon?"

"No," Elise interrupted, "Tell me who the Churchmembers who had come."

"It should be, Kyle, Oliver, and sir Dalton."

Elise looked at the key once again before her expression turning colder, "Bring them to the sitting room. I will have a talk with them."
