"You're lying! My Road would never like such a disgusting creature!" Sheril Kamelot, Road's adoptive dad, shouted. He was in the room where Lavi and Bookman were being kept. Lavi was passed out, having been tortured by not only physical blows from Sheril but also from the parasites put inside of him by Fiadora.
"Now, tell me the truth before I finish off this stupid kid over here!" Sheril shouted. "Stop it!" Road came running out of a black arc door (the typical door that Road uses for transport). Sheril swirled around with tears in his eyes. "Rooooaaaaddd!" He grabbed Road up in a hug that nearly choked her. Unfortunately he soon got a nosebleed from seeing his daughter again.
When he recovered he asked her, "What happened to my precious road? Who hurt you?" he shouted angrily. "No one hurt me," she said, annoyed. "Are you sure? Did that evil white-haired brat hurt you?" He accidentally asked. Now road was mad, "Don't call him that! I love Allen!" She shouted. "But Road!" Sheril complained. "If you really love me then you would let me be with Allen!" She pouted. "I'm not going play with you anymore if you won't accept our relationship!" She threatened. "Road, you wouldn't," he said but was answered by a glare from Road. "I understand," he said, giving up. To Sheril, nothing was more precious in the entire world than his daughter. "But if he hurts you I'll kill him," he said. Knowing what he said was true, Road simply sighed.
"Ah," Road said looking behind Sheril, "Have you been keeping them here?" She asked her adoptive father. "Yeah but it's on the Earl's orders," he replied. "Then why is he hurt?" Road asked indicating Lavi. "Well, you see… he wasn't answering my questions and…," Sheril said nervously but Road was ignoring him and talking to Bookman. "Hey!" Sheril complained, but he was ignored yet again.
"What happened?" Road asked Bookman. "It is the job of a Bookman to keep any information they have attained," he said. "So it's true," she said, "You didn't answer him and he beat up Red Hair-kun." Bookman did not respond. Road stared at him for a moment longer before walking over to Lavi. He was badly hurt and on the verge of death. His uniform was torn at the sleeves and his scarf was in pieces. His hair was a deep red from blood. She opened his eye; it was bloodshot.
"Get me some towels," Road ordered her dad. "Why? That thing should just shrivel up and die," he said harshly. Road glared at him and he ran out of the room. A moment later he returned with a bucket of water and a lot of towels. "I'm back road!" Sheril said. Road ignored him and began to remove the crusted blood from Lavi's face and hair. She tore up an extra towel and used it as a bandage to cover the cut on his forehead. "Honestly you should have talked," she said to Bookman, "Red Hair-kun was on the verge of death." Again, Bookman said nothing.
"SHERIL-SAMA! SHERIL-SAMA!" Lero yelled, flying into the room and hit the wall by accident. "The Earl's looking for you!" he shouted not noticing Road. Sheril ran out of the room after Lero.
"Finally they're gone!" Road said happily. She quickly got to work. She got a glass bottle from her pocket and opened Lavi's mouth, pouring half of the contents into his mouth. She took some of the candles in the room and made them to a point with her power. "What are you doing?" Bookman calmly asked. "Shh! They can't know about this!" She whispered. With a wave of her hand the candles flew toward Lavi and Bookman and Bookman closed his eyes. When Bookman opened his eyes the cuffs keeping him on the chair were broken.
Road ran over to Lavi and put his arm around her shoulder, dragging him toward the gate she just opened. "Come on!" she yelled at Bookman, grabbing his hand with her free arm. She dragged them through the gate, making sure to shatter it behind them so they wouldn't be followed.
In the Earl's bedroom, Sheril and the Earl were talking. "Earl-sama," Sheril said, kneeling before him. "Oh Sheril, how nice to see you," the Earl said. Sheril stood up. "Now then, I have a concern about your daughter," the Earl said and Sheril's head immediately snapped up. The Earl continued, "I believe that she may be on the side of the enemy." "That's impossible!" Sheril protested, "She would never-," he was cut off by the Earl. "What about Allen Walker?" The Earl asked. Sheril was silent. "If your daughter were to go to his side, what would you do?" He asked. "I would take her back," Sheril promptly replied. "But what if she refused to return?" The Earl continued, "What if she turned against the Noah just as Neah did?" Sheril was silent again. "Would you betray your daughter or the Noah? You need to decide which is more important to you; you daughter or the other Noah."
Sheril was speechless. He had never expected to have to choose between the two most important things in his life. He slowly got up and walked out of the room. He decided to out those thoughts aside for the time being. As he walked out the door, he heard a loud sound, like that of steel breaking. Quickly he ran out, followed by the Earl.
The sound came from the room with Lavi and Bookman were being kept. They burst through the door, but they were too late. All that was left were broken cuffs and blown-out candles. "That was sooner than I thought," The Earl said as Sheril fell to his knees. His daughter was gone once again. It's that child's fault! It's always that white-haired brat's fault! He took my Road away again! Sheril thought. "Now then, let the hunt begin," The Earl said in his skin-crawling tone with his terrifying smile.
