I'm feeling a bit lazy today and take my time doing the chores, some of the maids are trying to flirt with me but I don't pay them any attention while the male servants try to out due me. But even when I'm lazy I still do a better job then them.

Around lunch time I check in with Nash to see if he needs anything, he's still as stressed as ever and doesn't want to be bothered. He waves his hand at me which is his way of saying go away, so I leave and go back to doing my chores. Something about seeing Nash so stressed out upsets me but I couldn't put my finger on it as to why.

Eventually the day comes to a close and I sneak out and check the remaining kingdoms on my list. It takes me half the night to finish my list and the very last kingdom is the one who ordered the assassination on Nash's father. I take all the incriminating evidence that I can find and go back to Nash. In the morning I show him what I found.

"This doesn't make any sense. These people were good friends with my father, how could they have ordered such a thing?" Nash says in disbelief.

"What are your orders my king?" I ask with a smirk, I couldn't wait to see what he'll do.

"I want to expose the king of the West Kingdom and I see no better way to do that then at a party."

"Then shall I inform everyone of the preparations for the party?"

"No, let's wait on this. It hasn't been that long since my father passed away."

"Very well my king." I bow

"Can you make a meeting for later on in the afternoon with the queen of the East Kingdom?"

"Certainly my king, I'll see to it right away." I say with a small smile then leave the room to set up the meeting.

After I set up the meeting I see to my small list of chores, I don't notice one of the emperors watching me. It's the version of me in this world, only he goes by my Japanese name of Durbe.

"Mind if I ask you a question?" Durbe says getting my attention.

"Not at all, but is there something you need Durbe?" I ask him back politely.

"Just answer my question, what are you? You're energy is much darker then anyone I've ever felt before." He sounds suspicious of me.

"I'm not at liberty to answer that Durbe." I say kinda flat.

"You're hiding something then."

"Maybe I am maybe I'm not, but it doesn't concern you." I say calmly, I don't show anything that would give me away as a demon.

Durbe walks away seeing how he won't get any answers out of me. My guess is Nash's sister Merag told all of the other emperors that Nash had made a deal with a demon. I curse under my breath when Durbe is out of site. Later on in the day Nash calls me into his office.

"You called for me?"

"Yes, what did you tell Durbe when he asked you what you are?"

"I told him that I was not at liberty to answer that question."

"Then explain to me what this is." He puts a picture frame down on his desk.

I look at it in slight fear but mostly sadness.

"Durbe found this in your room."

"That is a picture of my family, or what once was my family. It's been five years since they disowned me and I've been on my own making contracts with mortals ever since. I still remember that night as if it were yesterday." I say taking the picture off his desk and looking at it.

I think Nash realizes he hit a nerve.

"How do I know you're not lying to me?"

"Just go ask them about that faithful night." I say with a bit spite.

"Why don't you tell me what happened." Nash asks me gently.

"I've suffered from depression for years and no matter what I did or took it never helped. I thought that if I became a demon that it would take away my emotions so that I wouldn't have to deal with them anymore but even that failed. The demon that I made a deal with said that upon my death I would be reborn as a demon but she also said that what I'd hope to find I would not gain. I didn't pay much attention to what she said and took my own life to be reborn as a demon, but when my family found out they didn't believe it was me." I couldn't help but cry as I told Nash my story, I still remember that night as if it happened just yesterday even though it happened five years ago.

I've never told anyone this beside Sebastian but the pain of that night has never faded from me.

"I'm sorry that happened." Nash says softly and hugs me, feeling a bit of guilt over making me tell him what happened.

The hug catches me off guard a little bit but I relax in his embrace and even hug him back.
