Cottontail: I know, I'm mean. I always leave you with cliffhangers. Haha! I was sick all weekend and had to paint. Sucks, huh? Anyway it 2-14 and you know what that means! Happy Black Day! P.S. Wanna know a secret? I don't own Demon Diary. Big surprise.

"This morning, I'd quietly left the youth's chambers and ran into a very suspicious Aurelied. 'Good morning, sir. Is there something I can help you with?' 'Don't give me false pleasantries. I'm here to discuss your behavior towards Prince Raenef V.' 'And what behavior would that be?'

" 'Don't play dumb. I don't believe our king would appreciate hearing that a foreign lord is attempting to court his son. It is a sin against our church, and that child will not be damned to Hell! If you continue with this immoral performance, we will leave and declare war against you!'

"His judgmental tone provoked me to a very defensive state. 'I, sir, have done nothing to harm this child as you call him, and I assure you that any relationship that you have created in that twisted mind of yours is completely nonexistent! Trying to nurse someone back to health is no crime, and I don't appreciate any accusations against me! I am a well-respected man, and it is time you, honored guest, gave me that respect in my own damned house!'

"I'd left him in a fury, and spent the rest of the day avoiding these foreigners. They only bring trouble. I decided to pay dear Erutis a visit, but my timing couldn't have been more wrong because I'd met her fiancé. A young monk by the name of Chris was having dinner with them. His adopted father Hejem, a high priest, was a significant member of the community, and to know that his daughter-in-law was tainted would be unforgivable. I pretended to be there only for business matters and quickly took my leave.

"I pondered where to go next. If my needs could not be met there, I would seek assistance elsewhere. From the beautiful Meruhesae perhaps. Her services did not only lie in supernatural matters. The only problem is that I fear she's daft. Her interpretation of the act is that it is a spiritual bond, and she will pray the various spirits during the deed. Nevertheless, I went to her to help relieve some of my stress. I must admit that she is a woman of many talents.

"I ate dinner with my guests though the event seemed dead. No one spoke. I assumed that Aurelied had the same conversation with Raenef because his eyes never left his plate. I excused myself, and came to my room where I will spend the rest of the night."
