"I want the sandwich again!!" Elizabeth shouted and w.h.i.n.ed about the sandwich Alex made, she is craving it again. Ciel got a bit annoyed, so he kiss her forehead, "alright, I'll get some again." He smiled.

"Thank you my dear." She hugged Ciel tightly and giggled.

"I'll be back." Ciel suddenly disappeared in the room, Elizabeth looked around, and just now that he realized he left.

"Yvette." Elizabeth's face went serious, as she summoned her.

In a split second she appeared in front if her, kneeling down in respect.

"What do you think will happen to me when I'm gonna give birth to this human demon?" Elizabeth asked.

"I," Yvette stood up and looked at her, "Apologies, but I don't know."

"You will eventually crave for a human soul, Ms. Elizabeth." Suddenly the wall behind Yvette darkened, a portal appeared and Lynda came out, answering the question, "on your 8th month of the child, you will find a human soul for your son, or daughter." She landed and the portal disappeared, the wall's color went back to normal.

Suddenly, Yvette launched a punch, Lynda caught it with her hand and gusts of air scattered, it looks like a really strong one.

"What are you doing here you monster?" Yvette let go of her hand.

"I'm here to tell her something, please get out." Lynda smiled, her smile got a chilling atmosphere, Yvette went to the door, "tch, just make it quick." And she went out.

Silence entered, the place is pretty awkward, its just that they weren't that close, Elizabeth wants her to leave quickly, so she finally spoke up, "so, what do you need from me?"

"I'll tell you one more thing, Ms. Elizabeth, when you won't eat a soul, your body will lose control to find one." Lynda took the chair on the table and sat down, facing her, she smiled, "it is like a soul for a soul."

"You mean, I have to kill for my child to live?" Elizabeth asked, she is pretty sad and scared, she don't want to kill a person and yet she doesn't want her child to die. She looked down, and thought about it.

"I know it is a tough choice, but you have to keep your child alive." Lynda smiled, "so my master let someone keep a human in for 8 months."

"And who is that someone?" Elizabeth smiled,"Ciel? Or Sebastian?"

Lynda chuckled, "let's say Orders from his master?"

Elizabeth chuckled with her, "perhaps."

After the two chuckled, Lynda stood up, "I better be going then, got things to do," Lynda waved his hand at the wall, it darkens again and turns into a portal, "Goodbye Ms. Elizabeth." Lynda smiled at her.

"Goodbye too." Elizabeth waved, Lynda turned around and left, the portal disappeared with Lynda, leaving Elizabeth alone.

"Here's the sandwich Mi'lord." Yvette entered with his hands full, she is carrying the sandwich Elizabeth craved for.

"Okay, thanks." Elizabeth noticed something, "by the way, where's Ciel?"

"Mi'lord, he is going to Alex's study." Yvette answered with a bit of an angry voice.

"Please call him Sir Alex." Elizabeth told her.

"Apologies mi'lord, I will try though." Yvette went to the door, "I'll take my leave then, goodbye." She bowed before leaving.

When everyone is doing their jobs, the reapers harvesting souls, servants doing chores, Alex, making repprts with Ciel, and the demons, helping the servants. In the Grand Foyer, where Neo is cleaning, heard a knock. The knock sounded strange, like someone fell and hit the door, instead of the sound of one's fingers knocking. So Neo became a bit worried and prepared his weapon, he waited for another knock, but heard nothing. So he decided to open it, as soon as he open it, at a glimpse, she saw Ruby, then she fell down.

"Ruby!"

"N, -Neo?" Ruby stared at him with a blurred sight, then she passed out.

"What am I going to do?!" Neo scratched his head.

As soon as Neo started bending down to carry her, Alex appeared behind him and spoke up, "don't you dare help a traitor."

Neo's eyes widened, he knew he can't disobey. So he stood up and bowed, "may I please just let her rest?"

"Just look at her." Alex pointed at Ruby, as Neo turned around, he saw Ruby standing up.

"Forgive me Master!" Ruby started walking towards Alex, Neo got scared at her. Her face, it is just, indescribable, all he can think is it's scary.

"Shoot." Alex ordered, suddenly Neo took his gun and shot her in the stomach. She flew away outside, far away from the entrance.

"Master!" Ruby shouted, then she started running, when she almost reached the doors, Alex quickly went out and kicked her face.

"Don't you dare call me master." Alex stepped on her face, slowly he puts pressure.

"I'm sorry Master!" Ruby cried while shouting.

"I said don't call me Master!" Alex lifted her in the neck and punched her stomach, and again she flew away, she started spitting blood, making mess in the front yard.

When Alex approached her, he saw her unconsciously lying down, but her eyes are wide open, blankly white. Alex looked around, and saw the white tulips got stained. It is like paint that splattered, "Neo, clean the yard, except the flowers, keep it stained like that." Alex sighed then took Ruby in her foot.

As Alex entered the Manor, Neo bowed, "yes sir."

"Oh, what to do." Alex got in the dungeon, there he saw a young Brunette, looking around, trying to break out, "looks like we got company." Alex knew this all along, this is it, the one Sebastian requested on the other day.

"Get me out here please." The brunette spoke.

"Apologies, but you must stay here." Alex smiled, then started walking again, "gotta go, see you around."

"Wait."

Alex turned around and faced the woman, "what is your name Mr?" The brunette asked.

"My name's Alex, Alex Baltazar." Alex replied, "and yours?'

"Fuschia Kratz." She answered, then turned around, "one second-" she went in the corner then vomited. Alex got disgusted, "well, better get going."

----------------------

----------------------

"Stay here." Alex threw Ruby inside the cell, she is still unconscious, as the moment she hit the wall, slowly her eyes opened, there she saw Alex closing the cell. After a split second of realization she quickly stood up and ran towards him.

"Master!" Ruby reached the door, then something sounded like a splat, she felt pain in her stomach, it's a slit. She looked down and saw the wound, then looked at Alex again, "master..." Tears fell down on her face.

"I told you many times, don't call me master, Ms." Alex's eyes glowed, his face is serious, "if you call me master one last time, you'll regret you said it."

"But, Master-"

Ruby suddenly flew away, the cell opened wide, and Alex can be seen really angry, his eyes glowed more. Ruby started to back off, she can see Alex approaching, she kept on backing off until she reached the end of the cell, she realized that and started crying soundly, "master, no," Ruby tried blocking him with her hands, "please, no!!"

"Shut up!" Alex took her arms off and threw it, then he forcefully pierced through her abdomen, for a few seconds, he took it out, his hand now holding the stomach. More seconds passed and Ruby vomited more blood. Alex took his sword out and made a hole on the part where Ruby's stomach is, it made Alex smiled a bit, "I told you that you'll regret saying it."

"Master-" Ruby tried apologizing.

"Shut it," Alex stood up, "I don't want to hear your voice." He started walking away.

Alex closed the cell and looked at Ruby's stomach, "hey Ruby." He showed her the stomach, "watch carefully." He slowly closed his hand, for a few seconds, acid splattered everywhere, it didn't bother Alex much, but Ruby, her eyes opened, she doesn't know what to say, instead, she turned around the corner and faced the wall, then she started crying more, "let's see if you can live without a stomach." Alex turned around and started heading out.

"Now, what to do." Alex got out of the dungeon, he went in his room and took a bath, changed his clothes and went in the Grand Foyer, he saw Neo vomiting again in a rubbish bin. Alex remembered, Neo saw Ruby spitting blood, so he went to him, "it's okay Neo," Alex gave him tissues, "a piece of advice, get used to it, there are more to come." Alex smiled.

Neo nodded a bit, and wiped off his mouth, "yes, sir."

"Feel free to rest, after the gore you faced, you seem to need it." Alex pat his back.

"Okay sir, see you later then." Neo answered, then he left.

He sat down on the huge sofa, and there he saw the two daughters entering, they were talking about something. Alex didn't mind and continued on doing, nothing. He felt a bit sleepy so he dozed a bit.

----------------------

----------------------

2100, 9 pm...

A corpse fell down in the middle on one of the streets, and from what it looks like, it lacks blood, and a soul. There, Houston is seen s.u.c.k.i.n.g blood from another human.

"I want more." Houston grinned, then threw another corpse. While walking around, she saw a bar, there she saw a warning sign, it says that woman aren't allowed to enter. It made her smile a bit, then she slammed the door open, silence entered with Houston inside the bar, then a drunk man stood up, "didn't you see the sign outside?!"

"Yes I did." Houston answered.

"Then why didn't you follow it?" As soon as the man said those words, he approached Houston. He touched her shoulder, it made Houston smile, "please let go."

"If I don't-" blood splattered everywhere as the man's arm flew, it landed on a table with other more men.

"Get her!!" A man shouted, then other drunk men started to go after Houston.

One ran towards her and tried to punch, he missed, Houston grabbed the hand and carried the guy, she threw it to the mob that's coming at her. Then another guy tried hitting her with a broken bottle of beer, Houston evaded and kicked the guy in the stomach, he flew away. Houston got tired of fighting, she just wants to eat, so she got serious, "let's finish this." She cracked her neck, then she took her sword and slashed it in the air, creating a dark, huge crescent wave, cutting anything that it hits. It horizontally sliced the whole building in half, fortunately, the building stands. Houston looked around and saw no more men moving, then she smiled, "time to eat." Houston started s.u.c.k.i.n.g the blood and soul of any corpse that she finds.

While the whole eating session is happening, luckily, an employee survived, he's hiding below a huge table, where he couldn't be seen by Houston, the guy kept on holding his mouth, preventing his breathing from being heard. He thought that he'll be safe, suddenly after a minute of silence, Houston spoke up, "I can sense your soul, mister." The employee got scared, he started sweating really bad, his heart started beating rapidly, but he didn't and he doesn't want to move nor talk.

"I admire your determination to live sir, so I'll let you live." Houston started heading out, "but tell a person named Alex that a woman named Houston is Alive, and I am sure that you will meet him sir." Then at a glimpse, she disappeared.

After the guy realized that the Woman disappeared, he stood up slowly, his legs are shaken up, he can't walk properly out of fear, then he saw that the whole bar got destroyed, blood stains were everywhere, corpse and broken bottles are scattered around, and almost all furntitures, destroyed.

----------------------

----------------------

900, 9am...

A night passed after the event, investigators and the police started to investigate about it, of course, it includes Alex. The things they found as clues are the blood stains, the whole building being in half, and the furnitures destroyed.

"Sir Alex." One investigator called him.

"We found a person, who might be the possible suspect." He took a person from inside, it's the employee, he looks really scared that his whole body is trembling in fear.

"Did you do this things kind sir?" Alex asked.

"You-you're Alex aren't you?" The employee asked with a shaky voice.

"Yes, I am, is something wrong?" Alex answered, he feels that somethings going on.

"The woman..." The employee started to cry, "the woman said that Houston-"

"Houston?" Alex knew that something's going on. So, this is what Lucifer's talking about.

"Houston is alive." The employee held his head and sat down, then he started laughing weakly, tears flow down his face while laughing.

"Alright, take him away." The Investigator ordered, some policemen started to carry him.

"Houston is Alive!!" The employee started to shout random things about Houston.

"Shut it." The policeman stated, the two threw him in a van.

"So, is he a suspect, sir Alex?" The investigator asked.

Alex turned around and started walking, "obviously, no." Alex looked at the investigator, "make sure that this case doesn't spread in the whole public, cover it as much as you can, I'm gonna fix this myself." Then he smiled, "goodbye." He went in a taxi.

"Goodbye-" the investigator stood up there, then he continued his work.

"Where to sir?" The taxi driver asked.

"Sir?" His voice sounds a bit frustrated, he was expecting someone to answer, but no.

"Sir-" the driver looked around the backseat, he saw no one, "good lord."

----------------------

----------------------

Alex sighed, then made a knock on his front door, "what to do again." It made Alex looked at the door, it's still closed, "that's strange, no one's opening." As the second knock, Alex felt a slight sudden shaking of the ground, "what in the world-" he suddenly opened the door, and at a glimpse he saw Ruby being thrown by Lynda.

"Traitor!" Lynda stated, then as she started flying towards Ruby, she saw Alex at the front door watching her, it made her stop and bow, "Good afternoon Mi'lord."

"Didn't you hear my knock?". Alex asked, a bit frustrated.

"Apologies master, I just can't belive that this traitor escaped."

"Really?" Alex went in, "I'm gonna kill her myself." He took his sword out and started running towards Ruby.

As Ruby stood up she saw Alex rushing towards her, she covered herself using her b.a.r.e hands and closed her eyes, she knew that this will be her death, then as soon as Alex almost slice her, Azuria appeared in front of Ruby. Gusts of air scattered as Alex suddenly stopped.

"What are you doing, my daughter." Alex returned his sword, "don't tell me you freed her."

"I did." She answered with a serious voice.

"Is that so." Alex's eyes glowed, "why?"

"Because she wanted to apologize to you." Azuria stated, she looked at Ruby then Ruby started crying, "I'm sorry."

"Ha." Alex smiled, "good thing she's not calling me master anymore." His face went serious again, "better yet, kill yourself." He turned around and started walking away, "it didn't even sound like an apology." Azuria just looked at him until he left, Lynda followed him.

Silence entered, and after a second, Ruby kneeled down, then started crying again, "will he be able to forgive me again?"

Azuria looked at Ruby, she started patting her lightly, "he will eventually."

----------------------

----------------------

As the two were walking, Lynda, recalled the time that Alex suddenly stopped the attack, flashbacks of those things entered her head, she can't believe he can do that, she might not even stop from that attack, since the movement is too fast. She was left thinking how strong Alex is.

Alex looked at her, from what it seems, it looks like she is out of her self, he waved at her and smirked, "hello? Are you still there?" He kept on walking while looking at her, quietly waiting for an answer.

Suddenly, the words entered Lynda's head and snapped out of thinking, "ah, yes Mi'lord?"

"Looks like you were thinking about something?" Alex turned around and faced towards the direction they're walking.

"Yes, I was just thinking, how did you manage to stop from the attack you'll do on Ruby, it is too fast for anyone to stop in the middle of the strike." Lynda asked.

"Why, are you starting to belittle me again?" Alex asked.

"No master!" Lynda shook her head in denying, "I would never again."

"I know you won't." Alex chuckled, he reached his study and opened its door, "come on, get in."

"I know you're busy, but please call Ciel and my siblings this instant." Alex ordered while walking towards his sit, "we just have something to talk about." He sat down as he got to his chair.

"Anything for you Mi'lord." Lynda bowed, then she started m.o.a.ning and groaning, her face started splitting, Alex smiled, it's Emerald and Evelyn. Their soul started to split again, their own bodies came back. They kneeled down in pain, and breathed heavily.

The two spun their hands, then two portals appeared, both left at the same time, but the portals didn't disappear. It took awhile before they come back, Alex waited by examining his eye collection, nothing seems to be missing or anything strange, after a minute of inspecting, a step was heard, Alex noticed, they came back. He went back to his seat, and watched as the two combine again.

"Mi'lord." Lynda bowed down, "I have done it."

"Thank you for doing so." Alex smiled, he looked around and asked, "why do you think I collect eyes of my enemies?"

As Lynda heard the question, instead of giving it an answer, she herself doesn't know, so she bowed down again, "apologies Mi'lord, but why do you?"

"The answer is simple," Alex took the eye that was at his desk, "I want my enemies to see with their own eye how powerful I am, despite my attitude I'm showing off." Alex's face turned serious.

Lynda got a bit frustrated, it reminded her of herself belittling Alex. It is true that he is very powerful, the proof can be seen from the title he has now, but despite the power and title, she was still able to belittle him.

"Now I'll ask you," Alex's eyes glowed, "do you want me to show my power to you?"

Lynda got scared, she felt the terrifying aura Alex is showing, "No Mi'lord."

"I'm just tired of people who judges me quickly." Alex sighed, then he returned the eye back where it was, "anyway, keep an eye on Ruby, she might do something again."

"Very well Mi'lord." Lynda bowed and opened the door to leave. On her way out, she saw the two Baltazars and Mr. Phantomhive, it made her bow again, "please excuse me sires."

"You're excused." Arthur smiled, then Auroa smirked, "that's an old joke already." She put her tongue out and made some faces, then Lynda left with a smile.

"Now now, please come in." Alex stated, "I need to discuss something with you all."

----------------------

----------------------

Adeline is walking around the hallway to the Grand Foyer, she saw Lynda looking at the front yard, she looks like she is thinking about something. She went beside her and look outside with her. She smiled then asked, "is something wrong?"

Lynda went back to herself, then heard the question, she smiled then answered, "no, its just."

"Just what?" Adeline looked at her eyes, Lynda met hers, then she looked at the front yard again, "I'm just regretting some things I shouldn't have done."

"Well, No one regrets at the first place," Adeline shrugs, "regrets only happens when something was already done, that is why, think before you act."

"Yes, you are right." Lynda looked at reflection the window is giving off, it's herself, "I shouldn't have belittled Master."

"Why did you in the first place?" Adeline asked, then smiled a bit, "you know that he can give or take lives."

"I just want Mi'lord to act a bit more m.a.t.u.r.e." Lynda smiled too.

Adeline sighed, "you don't know what happened for him to be like that."

Lynda's eyes opened a bit wide, "what are you saying?"

Adeline's face turned a bit serious then looked at the front yard, "he once told me his life."

"On year 1859, it was the first war that happened in the world of supernatural beings. There are the werewolves, vampires, sirens, fallen angels, demons, and especially the Reapers. The werewolves are defeated along with the vampires and sirens, obviously they were no match for the skill and the capabilities of Demons and Reapers. The Angels, however did not participated, but the Fallen ones did. They manage to fight for a long time, but ended up being defeated by the Reapers. On that time Alex was fighting different kinds of Demons, every demon goes out of their portal in Hell. Until one time, a different kind of demon went out, it was a woman, with an innocent mind, simply she got no experience in the world. She got out of the portal and started crying, that time, it softened Alex's heart as he knew that someone needs help. So Alex approached the woman and for the first ever, kneeled down to help.

`Do not cry.' Alex stated, on the first moments of meeting her, he got doubts, that maybe this might be some trap for him. But as time passes, no demon goes out of the portal, so he thinks that this might be a new demon. She got ears of a cat and tails of a fox, she got sharp claws for scratching and fighting, but those weren't used.

`Don't leave me here.' The demon cried and pleaded for help.

`Very well.' Alex replied, he knew she needs help, so he gave her things that she needed, `by the way, what is your name?'

`My name is Azrielle.' The woman replied with a blurred voice.

`Welcome to the world, Azrielle.' Alex stood up and helped her stand up as well.

A year passed, Azrielle learned how to do basic things, like cleaning, and any other chores. She learned how to fight, to attack and to defend for herself. Alex's closeness towards her opened his heart, he remembered that she is still a demon, but the love he felt covered the hostility towards her, only her. They got married in mid year 1860, it was his happiest moment of his life, but the happiness he felt isn't for all, the other Reapers were not happy, although they can't do anything about it, he is the King after all.

One day, when they were fighting demons, on Azrielle's kill, she felt really fatigue, then she vomited a bit, Alex asked if she felt something, and that is where they realized, there is a soul in her. It made Alex more happy than before. He can't believe they were having a child. He thought and hopes that the war will be over, until one afternoon, a few days after Azrielle gave birth, they named her Azuria. It was year 1861, when the demons once again attacked, Alex decided to go alone, and face the demon all by himself. He said that his siblings, Arthur and Aurora, and his wife Azrielle, should stay back and protect Azuria.

On the battlefield, Britain, UK. Alex got surprised, he saw 32 demons, and from what it looks like, they are working together, the four soul demons and 28 normal ones, including Sebastian. On his fight, he got defeated, he was being restrained to move, he know that this might be the end of the line for him, he can't believe Azuria will live without a father. Suddenly, he saw Azrielle being restrained as well, it angered Alex more.

`Azrielle, what are you doing here!?' Alex asked, his eyes started to tear up, `let go of her you demons!!'

`shut up, Baltazar, she betrayed the whole demonkind, therefore, she will die with you.' A demon spoke up.

`no!!' Alex struggled, `let go of her!! No!!!' Tears slowly drips on his face, he can't believe two of them are gonna die. Worse, Azuria will not have any parents.

Suddenly a split second before Azrielle's death, he saw her mouth, mumbling some words.

'Azuria is safe.'

Then the whole place got red, as her blood splattered everywhere, her heart was pulled out and her limbs broken. Then it is Alex's turn, Sebastian approached him.

`Good Bye Mr. Baltazar, it was nice meeting you.' Sebastian grinned.

`Bast*rd-' Alex's head twisted and torn off by Sebastian before he finishes a statement, then his body was burned, Alex's eyes were open the whole time, he saw her wife's body, coldly lying down with his burning body, his whole face burned down while the tears flowed. Although it isn't the end yet, he got determined of living again, having his hopes that his wife survived, on his day of resurrection, he forgot the memory of their death, and on the second week after their death, he roamed the battlefield of Britain, there he saw the cold body of his wife again. Not knowing that she already died two weeks ago, suddenly his memories came back like traveling light. Alex's face became wet with his tears flowing.

`no....' Alex kneeled down, and cried soundly, `n-no!!!' He took Azrielle's head, and saw her face, emotionless and cold, `why... Why!!!'

Alex cried more, `why?' flashbacks of their happiness flowed in his head, making more tears flow. He knows that he can't live anymore, but there is still a bit of hope in his heart, it's their daughter.

`Why did they do this?' Alex hugged Azrielle's head tightly, he can't believe that his wife, died, what's worse, he knew that she won't be coming back again.

On that day, his siblings went here, in London, where they should be safe, after a year, Alex followed them, there they built an Estate and settled here. His heart became cold as ice, his personality changed, and luckily, he did not went insane. He felt no more mercy on demons. On their first year of settlement there, where Arthur and Aurora hopes that Alex is now alright, they gave him a letter coming from Azrielle moments before she left Azuria and followed Alex.

`Brother, here is the letter Azrielle wanted to give you.' Arthur handed over an envelope.

`Thank you, you may leave.' Alex replied with a serious voice. As Arthur finally left his room, Alex opened the letter and started to read it.

`My precious husband, who gave everything to me, I am sorry I disobeyed you, I know that I should be with Arthur now, but I still followed you to the battlefield, this letter means that I am already dead, this may be my selfish request, but please raise my child, no, our child with utmost care, don't let her feel sad, but to make her feel happy at all times, guide her in everything she does, just like how you guided my path, please live like a normal noble. Always follow the queen's orders, and don't show mercy to those who belittle you. I know that you love me and you always will. This is the end of my message, and may you live at least with a bit of happiness with Azuria.'

After reading the letter, Alex cried again, this time, he cried silently, he doesn't want to wake Azuria up that time. And until now, he remains silent about it, he hides his sadness with his carefree and imm.a.t.u.r.e behavior." Adeline started walking away.

"So please, understand my father when he is like that, he just wants to forget the sad events in his life." Adeline smiled, then when her eyes met with Lynda's, Adeline's eyes glowed, then she turned around on the direction she's facing and left silently.

Lynda was left in the hallway almost to the point of crying, she can't believe if she can be on Alex's shoes. To think of losing a loved one, and dying once. She herself might went insane from that.

Creaking sounds were heard as the doors from Alex's study opened, there Lynda hid before somebody goes out. Alex went out there along with Ciel, Arthur and Aurora. Alex looked at her, their eyes met, Lynda swiftly hid beside the wall to the Grand Foyer. Lynda sighed, then she showed up in front of them, then she bowed.

"Mi'lord, I might find this a rude request, but please," Lynda bowed again and closed her eyes, "stay strong."

Alex got surprised, he realized that she knows a thing about him, so he smiled, and pat her head, "I will."
