"That dumb slave is not fit for Master Lucifer!" Anna whined to her sister Abra when she saw her walk into the room. Abra sighed and did not respond, shutting the door immediately as she first turned on the lights and then walked over to sit next to Anna on the bed.
"Anna, but you have to learn to control yourself. What you said back in the room was not fit for the situation," Abra grabbed onto Anna's hands, forcing her sister to look at her.
"Did you see her?! Even if she is a fairy, did you see how disgusting she looked?!" Anna furrowed her eyebrows together deeply, "Master Lucifer is so much better than that slave girl!"
Anna seemed to have more to say, but she did not as she pressed her lips together in rage. Even if she was not fit for Lucifer Black either, she was still a hundred, no a thousand times better than that slave girl!
How could she just watch her idol be so close with a girl like her?!
Abra did not respond to Anna's complaints, but she was also deep in thought as she stared off into the air. After a few seconds of silence, she sighed and said, "Anna, I agree with you."
Anna looked up at her sister, slightly surprised. Then why had she not helped her earlier?
"But you can't say that in front of Mr. Lucifer," Abra added, "You acted too rashly. You saw how he treated that girl, so by saying that, you would only make a bad impression on him."
Anna frowned, looking worried, "Really?"
Abra nodded faintly, grabbing onto Anna's hand with both of her hands, looking her in the eye, "Don't worry, Anna. I will help you prepare for the party next week."

After Anna and Abra left, Foster Griffin also felt awkward as he cleared his throat and tried to think of something to say with Lucifer Black.
Before he could think of anything, Lucifer stood up and Daphne did the same, "I will get going now. I still have to get the rest of the invitations to the five other villes."
Foster smiled, happy to hear that he was leaving now, "Yes, yes. I will see you and your father next week then. I assume you will be at the meeting as well?"
Lucifer nodded, "See you soon, Master Griffin."
He whirled around, not caring for the dried mud that was still at the bottom of his suit as he walked out of the living room, not waiting for the master of the house to escort him out of the manor. Daphne followed behind him.
Outside, the rain had gotten worse and a servant handed Lucifer an umbrella, which he opened as he walked. Daphne ran a few steps to catch up and hide under the umbrella as they walked towards the carriage and got on.
"Bludsville," Lucifer told the coachman, who closed the door and started the carriage right away. The sun was slowly setting behind the mountains and there were still five more villes to get to.
At Bludsville, it was exactly the same as the previous two villes where they entered the manor. This was the Dagon family, which was one of the less powerful devil families.
Bludsville consisted mostly of forestland, where a lot of elves lived, so it was difficult for people to get by. So, the carriage ride took longer than the other villes.
Draigh Dagon, the master of the Dagon family, greeted Lucifer respectfully. Even if he was of a higher generation than Lucifer, he still had to show more respect to the Black family.
Lucifer took this well as he entered the living room and sat down to drink some tea. Once again, Draigh Dagon asked about Daphne, who Lucifer introduced like usual. Draigh Dagon was a sharp person and did not ask any further after hearing Lucifer's possessive introduction.
Draigh's son, Magnus Dagon, stood behind him, and he glanced at the woman sitting next to Lucifer Black. He had heard about Lucifer Black many times as they were in the same circle, and although he enjoyed playing a lot, it was indeed rare for him to bring a girl around him.
Indeed, the girl was very attractive, and Magnus only tore his eyes away from her when he received the piercing glare from Lucifer.
However, even if she was attractive, Magnus thought that Anna was prettier. . .
"Here is the invitation," Lucifer said as he placed the invitation onto the table. Draigh took it over happily with a beaming smile, holding it with both hands.
"Young master Lucifer, do you think my son, Magnus could accompany me to the meeting?"
Lucifer looked at the young man standing behind his father and grinned, "Perhaps not the Sevil meeting, but as we are having a party after the meeting to celebrate the start of winter, young master Dagon is certainly welcomed."
Magnus looked down at his hands, not saying anything. He did not really want to go to the meeting or the party, thinking that it was greatly a waste of time. He was about to tell his father that, but he thought of something, or someone, and instead asked:
"Young master Lucifer, do you perhaps know if Anna is going?"
Lucifer frowned, "Anna?"
"Yes, Anna Griffin, the young daughter of the Griffin family," Magnus explained.
Hearing this, Lucifer was confused for several seconds before he remembered the girl from earlier. He drew his eyebrows together, "Probably."
Hearing this, Magnus's eyes glistened as a hint of a smile appeared on his face. If that was so, then he would happily go.
After talking for another minute, Lucifer stood up, grabbing onto Daphne's hand and pulling her up as well as she had almost fallen asleep.
"We will get going now. It's getting quite late."
Lucifer nodded his head with a smile and then they left the Dagon manor.
Happy Sunday ^o^
