Ling Yue had teleported herself to the cafe due to hunger staying in the ruins for too long. Zenith stood to the side looking uneasily at her mistress down her food in anger. Whenever her mistress got mad she’d eat more than usual. But she could still hear her mistress’s words which was muscle brain idiot. Not knowing whether to laugh or cry she looked away since she felt pity for Maki.
“While your at it order me some katsudon, sushi, get me some Lemes tea leaves while your at it.”
She watched as Zenith disappeared from the cafe. Ling Yue quietly sipped her normal tea in annoyance. But her gaze was cold when she saw Maki, her muscle brain friend coming happily. To which the mission was supposed to be a long range killing. Yet this girl managed to somehow get spotted and making out with her own target. Actually she had posted this anonymously yet didn’t expect Maki to take the job. It was also arranged she’d meet the one to do the job after the job in this cafe. Though judging from the failure she couldn’t help but sigh.
Instead she focused on the cafe she was in, small but peaceful with wooden seatings put into the ground making it look antique. White tile floor, wooden counter with a cashier, and a average 55 year old guy who you’d find anywhere nodding off. She didn’t mind the two girls in the cafe as she silently ate. Ling Yue ate her food silently without minding her friend. Anyone who saw the scene could understand she was angered. But remembering Niana made her feel intense pain as if someone was ripping out her own heart for themselves.
“Calm yourself, remember to be emotionless it won’t help the current you. These emotions are not real, they’re unworthy of a relapse. This accursed lineage of mine is an annoyance.”
The door opened and Zenith entered with her food. Then her eyes went into a glare towards Maki. Maki became uneasy with that gaze on her. Unsure of what she did wrong at all.
“So Maki did you enjoy your escapee with my half brother. Or did you forget he’s the jerk whom got your sister in her current state. If he hadn’t raped her I wouldn’t be at the ends of my limit either.”
Maki started panicking when saw the cold eyes condemning her. Giving her a intense pressure while they’re inside the cafe. This made her know she messed up badly seeing Ling Yue condemn her so adamantly. Actually now realizing the fact, she realized Ling Yue could make her life in the netherworld into a living hell if she wanted to.
“O-O” (Maki)
Ling Yue tapped her figures on the table making Maki flinch. Maki winced in fear with the silence in the cafe.
“Eeeekkk.” (Maki)
She flicks Maki’s forehead.
“(O-O||)” (Maki)
“Is this 21 expressions today.” (Ling Yue)
She laughed at Maki, but her eyes were cold as is she was only using sarcasm for Maki’s humor. Yet Maki could make out the disappointment from Ling Yue’s eyes. Ling Yue slowly ate her food as Maki became as frighten as a small rabbit about to be eaten alive.

“Oh I won’t eat you, a frighten lamb like you is so much easier to erase.”
Maki’s soul left out her mouth, it’s over she pissed off the wrong person. Even if that person is her own best friend.
“Let’s see I’ll have them throw you in the 15th circle to survive in. (The higher the hell circle the harsher the environment to survive.) It’ll also help hone your personality too while your there.”
The little cat beastmen cried her eyes out as she wanted for Ling Yue to retract that order but she was already dragged out by Ling Yue’s guards. Ling Yue drank her tea calmly, that little read head annoyed her. Muscle brained, kinda weak and she was no where near her own mother’s level. So she’s hoping by throwing her in the 15th circle that it’d develop Maki’s brain a bit more. Though she won’t be held responsible for Maki having a twisted personality once she gets out.
“My dear, lady what is your order.” (Ed)
Her mouth twisted in a sneer as she glared at this narcissistic bastard whom reported only to her father. This was the commander of her 1000 guards yet he was only loyal to her father. Handsome in looks, long golden hair up to his waist.
“I want to kill you since your the spy planted by father, is that a good enough reason to call you.”
“Mistress surely your joking around.”
“It has been my wish for quite sometimes now since your the one watching my every move. I have no need for a useless arm planted at my side.”
Ed jumped back in confusion when he felt his instincts screaming at him. At where he stood before is her two small knives. She was a highly trained assassin herself by her own father. This was due to her request when she was 13 to get stronger. He couldn’t help but feel a chill in his spine when he realized she wasn’t kidding when she said those words earlier.
He stared at the knives as they melted the spot where he stood. But thinking of things he was unsure of why she was trying to kill him. At first he thought she was only joking around.
“No worries I have someone else to replace you.”
Ed jumped out the window as Ling Yue picked up her weapon. She whistles summoning a white tiger to her side. This white tiger was none other than one of the sacred beasts Byakko, yet Ling Yue ordered it after Ed. The young miss had summoned a sacred beast to chase after him. Making him not know wether to laugh or cry in this situation.
Ling Yue turned around to walk away since she was sure Ed was gonna die from Byakko but she stopped due to the scene in front of her. Her half brother tongue kissing another girl in front of her (LY) with his hands inside her (the girl’s) skirt. Instead her face turned into disgust as she saw his silver short hair and blue eyes. Her brother really disgusted her though they had half the same blood running through their veins. He wouldn’t calm down his lust as if he was a super horny succubus.
“Mistress you must rethink your idea of casting Maki into the hell circle.” (Zenith)
“At least she gets som brains out of this, tormenting her this way is for her good. I mean due to the harsh environments and conditions it’ll twist her a bit but it’s for her own good that she’s thrown there.”
“Miss couldn’t you just starve her in the netherworld.”
“I didn’t think about that at all.”
‘Lies you have a pondering look meaning that was your first option. But you retracted it instead.’ (Zenith) (this is her thoughts)
“At least I didn’t thrown her into the black market underworld network that’s connected to all cities, towns and villages in this world. It’s a much scarier place to throw someone into mortal’s greed right.”
‘Nope, Miss you most definitely considered that option but you didn’t want to handle the after math since she’s your best friend so you retracted it.’ (Zenith)
“It’s because she’s my friend I didn’t want her to suffer there. Plus don’t the snow demon clan serve gods.”
She didn’t look away from her brother at all, if looks could kill. He’d die a million times over, Zenith couldn’t help but frown. For Maki’s sake as well as her own younger sister, Ling Yue had no choice but to throw Maki into the hell circles. Rather she didn’t mind if her best friend cursed her afterwards. Blade had somehow broken Maki’s sister’s mind. Which angered Ling Yue more since their mother raised Ling Yue and the two sisters as if they were sisters. So her father and her brother crossing her line pissed her off more. Her hands clenched as she thought of Jenna whom had to suffer. That was her last line that they had crossed. So even she was angered by her father being so nonchalant saying they had nothing to do with their family. So what’s a few commoners lives over her brother. It truly angered her.
“How’s Jenna doing.”
“Sleeping in your mansion bed, faraway from your father’s reaches.”
Zenith bit her lips in unease as she watched her lady grow up, she too knew of the injustices her miss suffered. Her father wouldn’t careless about a commoner who’s life was easily erased if he wanted to. She cared for them as if they were family, yet her father they somehow managed to break that family she made apart.
