Prologue: A Tinee Tiny Problem...Right...?

After the collapse of Eldrant, the death of Van and Luke's sacrifice in order to free Lorelei. Everybody would be happy about the destruction of the New Order of Lorelei and such. Auldrant was at peace and it no longer follows the planet's memories so the Score is of little use to anybody now. So the remaining five that watched the collapse of Eldrant went their own separate ways. After returning home that is. The Albiore dropped Natalia off in Baticul first, then Tear in Yulia City, then Anise in Daath. All that's left was Jade and Guy in which their destination was the same, after dropping Meiu off in Cheagle Woods that is. But they were forced to make a small detour first.

After dropping Anise off in Daath, the two went to a bar. After grabbing a quick drink (more like half an hour of drinking) they head back to the Albiore when Anise ran right back to them. Popping in front of Guy first.

"Boo."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" the blond screamed. He backed away from Anise as much as he can. And then he ran into a monument since he didn't look at what's behind him.

"Oh, what are you doing back here, Anise?" Jade asked, he pushed his falling glasses back up.

"Jade! Guy! I can't find Florian anywhere!!" she cried in a panic state. Guy groaned as he sat up rubbing his head and neck in the process. "I'm going to search the cathedral again. Guy go around the town, and Jade you can look outside of Daath just in case."

Jade sighed. "You're making these old bones work even harder now?"

"Just look for him!" she hissed. Guy laughed nervously while Jade sighed again.

They went to their separate destination as Anise have instructed. Jade didn't put much effort in finding someone since he was fully aware that Florian wouldn't go outside of Daath. Otherwise, Anise would kill him metaphorically. Jade heard a rustle behind him and he readied his spear immediately. What caused the rustle was a panting woman with dark hair holding a bloodied bundle of cloth in her arms. She looked frightened at the sight of the spear and fainted immediately. Jade dematerialized the spear and checked on the woman. There were no signs of injuries and she only suffered from exhaustion instead of the sight of the spear.

Jade sighed. If he were to leave the woman here then she might be mauled by roaming monsters. If he brought her back with him, it'll be way too much effort. "What to do now....?" he asked himself.

"Hey Jade!" a voice called him. Jade looked up to see Guy running to him. He halted as soon as he saw the woman. "Did you just...?"

"Did Anise find Florian?" Jade asked, changing the subject.

"Yeah but-"

Out of nowhere they heard something cry really loudly. It was the cry of a baby, but to the two men there, they don't know where the sound is coming from. Jade looked down to see the bundle in the woman's arms move. He carefully unwrapped it to reveal a baby wailing. Guy was bending over behind Jade peering at the baby as well.

"A baby..." he said.

"It seems so," Jade nodded, pushing his glasses up. "We should bring her back to Daath."

"Good idea."

"Guy, you carry her."

"Whoa, wait. What?!" he shouted. "I can't carry her! She's a woman!!! And I can't touch woman!! You know that!! I don't think I'll-"

Jade sighed. "Fine, I'll do it." He picked up the woman in a princess hold. The baby cried a bit louder and the woman stirred.

"Where...?" she rasped.

"Outside of Daath. We're bringing you back to Daath now." Guy explained.

"No..." she mumbled. "Not Daath, any place but Daath."

"So...What now?" Guy asked.

"We can bring her to Grand Chokmah, she can stay at my manor until she feels better." Jade finalized. He began walking to Albiore. Guy stood there and scratched his head.

"I wonder if the alcohol he drank killed some of his brain cells...." Guy mumbled. "Or maybe he's drunk...?"

~Grand Chokmah; Curtiss Manor~

"Welcome home," a maid bowed. "Colonel Cur-!!!" She stopped and choked at the sight of Jade carrying an unconscious woman holding a bundle in her arms into the Curtiss manor. Yep, a rare sight indeed. So, the Necromancer randomly decides to bring home a woman out of the blue. Not only is it good gossip for the maids themselves but it's something you would never ever see him do. Picture moment~!

Jade nodded. "Arrange a room for this woman and be sure not to disturb the baby."

"Right away, sir!" the maid ran off to make a room....and to tell the other maids about what she saw. Jade stood there waiting for someone to get the heavy load in his arms off.

"Welcome back, Colonel Curtiss." a voice said. Jade looked in front of him to see Casim walking to him with a stick. It's been a while since he accepted Casim into the Curtiss Manor. After all, Jade felt somewhat guilty about not saying anything about the dangers of Fonic Sight so....this might be something close to being atonement. A butler that was following Casim walked to Jade and took the woman off of Jade.

"A room has already been arranged," Jade said to him. "You can carry her to that room."

"Very well, sir." the butler nodded. He carried her away without a word. Casim, although blind, watched the butler walk away. He turned to Jade and was about to say something.

"Don't," he stopped him. "Say anything." Casim had opened his mouth and then chose to close it. "I'm going to bed before there mass chaos."

"If you say so..." Casim shrugged. When Jade left, Casim seemed to looked back to where the butler had carried the woman off to and he smiled before heading to bed himself.

The next morning was a pain. Jade was sleeping soundly, he stirred a bit when some light invaded in his room. But then he turned around so that the light doesn't blind him when he fully opens his eyes. He enjoyed the short nap when he heard a ruckus just outside his room. He choose to ignore it by putting the pillow over his head. And then a maid burst into his room.

"Master Curtiss!" she shouted. Jade groaned and mumbled something. He put his hand in the air and moved it in a shooing motion. But it seems the maid didn't heed it. "Master Curtiss, please listen to this!!"

Jade sighed and he sat up. He reached for his glasses and puts them on before opening his eyes. "What...?" he asked groggily. A hint of irritation was in his tone as well.

"The woman is awake!!" she cried, putting her hands in front of her face as if something might happen. The maid was silent for a second before adding a 'sir' and the end. Now Jade was fully awake at that news. He shooed away the maid and she left the room as if the devil was behind her. Jade stood up and dressed quickly. Since his return to Grand Chokmah was not officially announced to the Emperor, this might be considered a day off for Jade. So instead of wearing his uniform, he wore a white dress shirt and brown pants.

Jade made his way to the woman's room as soon as he opened the door, a pillow flew in his direction. Jade swat the pillow away and he saw that the she was clutching the wailing bundle in her arms. She had an angry expression on her face, and she looked like she isn't going to calm down anytime soon. Jade pushed his glasses up and stood there waiting for her to relax or at least not grab anything next to her and throw it at him. The woman did relax a bit when she saw that Jade stood there like a statue and not bothering to make a move. She looked around.

"Where...?"

"Grand Chokmah in the Curtiss Manor." he answered.

"Grand...Chokmah..." she mumbled. "Your name?"

"Jade Curtiss," he answered. "Yours?"

"Lianne...." she replied cautiously. "Lianne Bordou."

"Well then, Lianne. I like to know why do you not want to return to Daath." he said to her. The woman bit her lip, her face was puzzled and she was contemplating on what to say. Jade turned to the maids, he made a motion to let them leave the room. With a bow, the maids did as they were told. Jade turned to the woman. "Now you don't need to worry about them listening to what you have to say."

"This child," she answered. "I don't want anybody in Daath, especially the Maestros, to find out about this child." She started coughing as soon as she answered his question. Lianne covered her mouth with her hand, but she kept on coughing. And then she coughed out blood. Jade ran over to her.

"Are you okay?" he asked. She nodded when her coughing subsided.

"Yes, don't mind me," she said. The baby started to cry in her arms, she looked at the baby. "I'm more worried about him. He was just born yesterday. And I'm not going to be around soon."

"Do you have any family members?" he asked. She shook her head in response. "How about the father?"

Lianne looked at him with brightened eyes."I don't know about the father if he was still alive or not. But....Will you find the father if he is?" she asked. Jade nodded.

"If you tell me his name."

She closed her eyes for a second, and opened it. "Please don't tell anybody about his father."

"And who would the father be?'

"Asch the Bloody."
