Last time, Tatsui and his family was saved by Aoi and I. We also found out about Aoi's real name before it was changed.
Aoi is your real name Haru Ito? I asked. Aoi adverted his from me. Can you answer me? I asked. Aoi is the name Gray gave you to relieve you from that stressful situation to put your mind at ease. Tatsui replied. Aoi glared at Clarimond. Why are you glaring at my mom? Jules asked. Your mom was our dad's mistress when he was married to my mother, Hedone. My mom knew about it but hide from all of us. I remember the day we were kicked out. She whispered something to her and she broke down in fear. I always wanted to know what she said. Well I told her, "You can take that dog. Incubus are more loyal than that man. I know what you and your friends were planning. First, to distract him so Tatsui can completely have him to yourself. Second, Belle, Haru and Keon are his kids. They would be a hassle keeping them around. Third, you manipulated so people to get rid of me. Hedone replied. She appeared. Aoi turned around. I exposed Tatsui and Clarimond for the trash they are. Hedone replied. She smiled as she said. Tatsui looked scared at her smile. Mom, what are you doing here? Aoi asked. Easy, the people who you beat are escapees. Hedone replied. Yes and we need to get these guys to their cells. Megumi replied. You know Yumeko, I never thought the day would come where I would be work with my former enemy, Yumeko Tempus. Hedone replied. No kidding or our kids would be working together. Megumi replied. Wait mom, your that wanted criminal? I asked. Oh no, I have been laying low for over twenty years. My bounty is still 1,000,000,000,000 in all Seven Nations. Megumi replied. Everyone other than Hedone was flabbergasted. Mom, that means your one of the most wanted criminals in history. I replied. Megumi smirked. Yumeko and I were sworn enemies. Most of the waste lands were created because we were fighting to kill each other. Hedone replied. I mean mom you are a Sword Empress of Luxuria known as the Goddess of War who power and strength is rivaled with the Epic Hero, Gilgamesh? Aoi asked. That's why I wanted to fight, Hedone. I have always been undefeated. She gave me the challenge I always desired. Megumi replied. Yumeko has always wanted to lose to know what losing feels like. Hedone replied. I mean I know that *pain and consequences. Megumi replied. We're off. Hedone replied. Get up or I drag back in a certain way or fashion unimaginable. Hedone replied. The two got up and walked away. That's Hedone for you. She is sweet by nature but brutal when necessary. Megumi replied. She slashed a portal open. Bye you all. Megumi replied. Hedone turned her head and looked at Tatsui and he was shocked. She used her telepathy. "If you want compromise, then you have to make amends". The portal replied. What did you do? Megumi replied. That man will never learn. Hedone replied. After everything went back to normal Aoi cooked for everyone. Everyone was marveling how it looked and tasted. I hope that will fill them up. Aoi replied. Licht called to video chat.

Ally: No, he asked me to heal that one wound.
Kaoru: I will believe it if he doesn't try it again.
Aoi: You seem like a bad girl, Ally.
Ally: I wouldn't talk if I were you because Poppy told me all about what you tried to do my friend. The pot calling the kettle black. How dare you throw this shade?
Aoi glared.
I was confused.
Licht: What did you do to sexy blonde? How dare you.
Lulu: Is that Aoi? Hi Aoi.
Licht: Talk later, bro.
Aoi: Alright. Hi Lulu.
After he got off the phone. He turned to my phone.
Aoi: Poppy told you or you listened?
Ally: She told me.
Rumiko: Are you sure it's true?
Ally: We've been friends with Poppy since we were sixteen/seventeen year old when I was one of the aides and Kaoru was a mid ranking cadet with her brother, Ren.
Kaoru: Those were the days with no drama from the Ten Generals or anyone else.
Aoi: Life was that carefree. Sounds nice, no being bother with Sophia sound pleasant?
Kaoru: Yeah she didn't start meddling until my fight that "happened" all those years ago. It brought forth you know who.
Aoi: What happened?

Tatsui walked over to see where Aoi went. Haru, this is where you went? This room is where I actually confessed my love for your mother. Tatsui replied. She said you were a love sick puppy who would try almost anything to make her happy. Aoi replied. A big party was held here and she sitting where Miss Kaoru is sitting but a guy was watching her from the distance. Wait Miss? I thought. He was the quiet and cold type. Tatsui replied. Probably Asmodeus in his humanoid form. He is like that toward strangers. He is actually kind of caring but at other times he's the Demon King of Lust with Lilith as his Queen of Incubus and Succubus. Aoi replied. He's finally talking with him. This is a start somewhat. I thought. As I smiled, Aoi is looking confused. What is she smiling for? Aoi thought. I stopped moving in the chair. Kaoru!!!! Aoi yelled. She stopped moving. We have to call a doctor. Tatsui replied. The scenery changed. The night was a full moon with stars looking almost like pearls. I turned around, I was dress in the same Ivory cocktail dress. The only difference that Imperial Treasure, Liz Tetrax appeared to wisp me away from that *man again. He wasn't fast enough. A man appeared but I couldn't see his face. Who are you? I asked. He caresses my cheek. I blushed. Tell me who you are? I asked. I wish for your happiness and the shackles that bind you from him to set you free. The man replied. He then kissed me. As he stopped the shackles disappeared. Who are you, really? I asked. I'll give you one hint. The one person who has always been closest to you. The man replied. Your are not telling me who you are? I asked. He walked away and I saw his bracelet. I was shocked. It can't be him. I thought. Liz Tetrax run over to find me confused and so dumbfounded. Kaoru, you look dumbfounded. Did that man try anything? Liz Tetrax asked. I don't know how you ended up here in this dream realm? Liz Tetrax said. I heard heels clicking again the surface. I heard a familiar voice. I wasn't going to let that man's descendant hurt you. Himeji replied. My Lady and Mistress Himeji, it's been too long. Liz Tetrax replied. I saw how he did a whole 360 with my grandmother. I thought. Why are you here, Grandma? I asked. That man Xavi, he is with the church. He is here to exorcise and kill you under the oath. It's for the quote on quote "Purification" of all non-believers. Kaoru, your forbidden magic that your mother took away from you as a child is actually what they after. Your imperial treasure is what they are after. Himeji replied. Is this the warning, Kagami spoke of? I asked. Yes, I can tell you this. The man will save your life from his clutches. That man is the descendant of the man who branded me in a dream realm I am stuck in. Himeji replied. I looked at that hatred boiling up inside her. Almost looked like she was once in love with him. I thought.
