The 36th Night- The King

The sky stood as if frozen as the city below was quiet with the resounding sound of wind passing through. Through the streets sifted carriages pulled by sturdy horses. The carriages stopped outside of the same building before their doors opened and several men stepped out to face the building. They all headed inside, their coats being taken by the staff of the building, before heading into a circular room with a long table that spanned the length of the room.

Already sitting at the table were two people, one the Chancellor of Germany Chlodwig Carl Viktor and the other one had his feet up on the table with a bowl of grapes balancing on his knee. The men entering the room regarded the Chancellor before staring strangely towards the boy with his feet kicked up. The men sat down around the table before the doors opened again and everyone but the boy with his feet up stood back up. Pope Leo XIII entered the room flocked by two burly guards that scanned the room and the people at the table.

"Good day, comrades," he said before taking his seat on the end of the table opposite of the boy with his feet still up. The Pope's guards glared angrily at the boy that was staring up at the ceiling with a bored expression on his face. The Pope ignored the boy as he looked over to Chlodwig. "What news did you need to share with us?"

Chlodwig stood up and held up a single scarlet envelope. The men around the table stared at the envelope as Chlodwig handed it to the Pope's guards who then gave it to the Pope. Chlodwig sat back down as the Pope removed the letter from inside the envelope. With the letter, a single card fell out of the envelope. The men looked to the darker red card that had the picture of a skull and salamander on it. The Pope folded the envelope open and began to read aloud.

"Greetings, Pope Leo XIII. I would like to bring to light a little thing that has been hidden for too long. As the war against the Devil progresses, innocent people lose their lives. You claim no responsibility to these deaths, and so I will. Just be aware that you servants of God have enraged me for the last time. This time, humans shall finally become free from both God and the Devil. I await you at the designated place below. Signed, King." With that, the Pope threw the letter down on the table angrily.

"This letter is blasphemy!" he roared and everyone but one agreed. From the opposite side of the table, the boy with his feet up stirred slightly with a groan.

"You're a load of blasphemy yourself, Popey." The Pope's guards took a dangerous step forward before something pegged them in the foreheads. The two guards watched as two grapes fell from the foreheads and landed softly onto the floor. The boy removed his feet finally from the table and sat up before resting his head on his palm with his elbow on the table.

"Who are you to judge me, boy?" the Pope said furiously and Chlodwig quickly spoke up.

"Your Holiness, he is Germany's informer Tyrir Breaker. He means no disrespect."

"Of course I do. You're a stupid guy with a big hat, Popey. For instance, you keep believing that this God of yours is the almighty good. But you can't have good without bad. So the Devil will always exist," Tyrir said before yawning loudly. The Pope twitched before replying ever so coolly.

"Then we shall continue this war until he is defeated forever."

"Can you hear with that big hat on? I just said you can't kill the Devil and vice versa. The only way for peace is if both God and the Devil die. But…"

"That's blasphemy!"

"I knew you'd say that," Tyrir said with a chuckle. The Pope flared up again and directed his rage towards Chlodwig.

"Get this heretic out of my sight!" Chlodwig quickly nodded and got up before ushering Tyrir away. Tyrir sighed and left his bowl of grapes behind as he and Chlodwig left the room.

"You can't anger the Pope like that, Tyrir," Chlodwig said sternly when they were outside. Tyrir shrugged and looked around slowly. Chlodwig sighed and waved to his own carriage that came over to him. Chlodwig looked back to Tyrir. "When is our next showing?"

"New York City in the United States. I've heard they have quite a lot of tall buildings there," Tyrir said before walking off leaving Chlodwig there with his carriage. Chlodwig nodded with a thin smile.

"I'll see you there then." Chlodwig chuckled lightly as he climbed into his carriage and rode off.

Allen sat in the infirmary bed as Lenalee sat there peeling an apple slowly. Allen looked over to her and raised his hand slightly before he stopped suddenly as the words the 14th had said resurfaced in his mind. He lowered his hand back down before Lenalee noticed. Lenalee finished peeling and smiled to Allen before handing him the peeled apple.

"Here," she said softly and Allen took the apple from her. He slowly gazed over to her to see her sadly looking down.

"What's wrong?" he asked and Lenalee flinched slightly before smiling.

"Nothing." Lenalee stood up and kissed Allen's forehead before leaving the infirmary. Allen watched her leave before looking down at the apple. He took a bite of the apple and then brought his legs up to put his forehead down against his knees. He slowly chewed on the apple as a crawling sensation ran up his right arm.

Outside the infirmary, Lenalee stood against the door before walking away from the door with a scarlet envelope in her hand. She walked briskly into Komui's office as the other Exorcists except Kaz and Kiki were there waiting. Keria, Derek, and Cedric were sitting nearby as Lenalee took her seat next to Keria.

"You didn't tell him?" Keria whispered to Lenalee and she shook her head slightly.

"No, I didn't." Keria breathed a sigh of relief. Lenalee glanced to Keria sadly before Komui stood up from his desk before Lenalee handed him the scarlet envelope. Komui held the envelope up to the others and then slammed it down onto his desk, making the tower of papers sway dangerously.

"We received this letter from a messenger of the Pope. We were told to head the place written at the bottom of the letter. Everyone here, including myself, will go while Reever takes care of things here. We have no idea who this "King" person is, but if it has to do with the Millennium Earl and the Noahs, we should be there. Any questions?"

Lavi raised his hand. Komui nodded to Lavi.

"Where are we heading?" Lavi asked with a slight grin. Komui pulled down his map of the whole world and put his finger down onto it.

"New York City."

The port was bustling as a large ship was being prepared for the Black Order. Everyone claimed a cabin for themselves with the girls getting the first pick. Komui waited on the port till the Generals arrived with, surprisingly enough, Cross at the head. Lenalee watched from the ship railing as the Generals boarded the ship. Lenalee looked out into the city beyond the port and noticed a sleek black cat staring back at her from a rooftop next to the port. Lenalee and the cat stared at each other until the cat suddenly turned its head around and ran off the roof and down stairs that led up to the roof. Lenalee giggled lightly and then looked out at the ocean.

"Sorry for leaving you out, Allen… I just don't want to get you hurt anymore," she whispered before seeing Komui talk with the captain of the ship.

"Why aren't we leaving yet?"

"We hafta wait for them German ship to sail first. Prince Chlodwig is on it after all," the captain said and Komui nodded before noticing Lenalee looking down to him. He smiled up at her and she smiled softly back. After the black and gold German ship sailed out of the port, the ship the Black Order was on set sail for New York.

Well, this is getting fun! XD
