บท 371: The Christmas Eve

— A Week Later - Lombard Street - Greed's Mansion —

In a quaint mansion nestled on the hill of Lombard Street, Koyuki and Greed were busy adorning a Christmas tree. It was the 24th of December 2033, and with the new year fast approaching, they savored this brief respite from their usual routines. The festive ambiance enveloped them, a rare moment of shared joy among Daniel, Koyuki, Greed, and Envy.

Amidst the holiday cheer, Pride had departed for the Confederacy to report to her father, yet she had not returned as expected. Envy and Greed assured Daniel that this was typical behavior for Pride, who harbored a deep affection for her father, Reginald Aldenmere. It was understandable, considering he was her sole remaining family member and the one who had paid a hefty price for her resurrection as a witch.
