Taking a break from his sword training, Alaster went home, looking exhausted. He wanted to drink a glass of water and greet with his mother and Edna.
But what he heard was silence. He can't see his mother nor Edna as he was wondering what they're up to.
"They wouldn't be this late, would they?" Alaster thought
He searched in the kitchen, but they weren't there. He searched in the bathroom and any room but they weren't there. He was getting suspicious of their wherabouts until he heard a sound, coming from his room.
He opened the door directly without thinking. "What is going on!" Alaster said as Edna and his mother shocked at the same time
Edna turned and saw Alaster in his serious face as she looked embarrased to him. "Alaster! You surprised me, what are you doing here?"
"That's what I'm going to ask, why are you in my room?"
"Well you see.." Edna said, looking down on the ground.
"Al, we wanted to borrow your room for a while" Alaster's mother smiled at him
"What for?" Before Alaster could find out, he saw someone sleeping on his bed. He pulled his blanket away and he saw the familiar face of a demon unconscious. "Why is he sleeping on my bed? Explain yourself Edna!"
"Wait wait wait wait wait! Calm down Alaster, Zerav has done nothing to me! I swear he's done nothing to me!"
When Alaster looks at the unconscious Zerav, he felt annoyed at him but at the same time, he tries to find out what happened to him. He sighed and turned his eyes to his mother.
"Mom, please explain this to me"
"I understand Al" His mother said as she told him everything.
Alaster's mother also told her son where Edna find him.
"I see then." Alaster said as he understands the situation. "So you brought him in the carriage to rest him there."
"That's right. We brought him in your room after the storm." Edna nodded
After hearing their conversation, Alaster's mother stood up and said. "Al, why don't you stay here and watch over Zerav? I'll cook something to warm you up"
"I'll help then" Edna said
"No need Edna, I can do this myself. Why don't you stay and watch over your friend as well. Having you with Al might help you wake him up." Alaster's mother said as she left the room. She was heading to the kitchen.
Once her footsteps can't be heard, Alaster and Edna were alone with the unconscious Zerav in the bed.
Alaster thought up of something "Why is he here anyways?"
"I don't know either. He hasn't wake up yet. He's been like that for seven hours." Edna said, felt worrying when telling the truth.
"Well, we can't let him rest in my room. We can't let the guards find out about this. If they knew we had a demon inside, he'll be captured and executed shortly." Alaster said, packing his stuff. "Anyways, I have to tell Lousia about this. Maybe she can find out how to solve this."
"You don't need to call me Alaster." Louisa said as she suddenly step inside his room. "I've heard everything from your mother."
Alaster and Edna were surprised of her sudden appearance.
"Wha.. How long are you been there?!" Alaster asked
"After you went inside, I've been listening to your conversation about Zerav."
