[•Lunate's POV•]
"Hey Dad, have you seen Lucine?" I asked as I got to the 7 walls.

"( ◕▿◕ )"

"Dad?" I stared at my Father's small form that stared into space giddily while subconsciously patting Cuvi's head.

"( ◕▿◕ )"

"HelloOoO? 7 walls to Dad! You there?" I waved my hand in front of him with a concerned yet confused face.

"( ◕▿◕ )"

"DAD!!!"

"GAH! What!?" He finally snapped out of his trance and looked at me.

"What was that just now?" I asked with a rose brow.

"O-oh, um... Your sister finally called me 'Dad'! ♡＼(￣▽￣)／♡" Just by that I instantly exasperated a groan.

"Oh my God, this is the same reaction I got when I did the same thing to you." I muttered.

"You can't blame me for being a proud father, Lunate~" He retorted teasingly.

"*Sigh* Yeah yeah, now where's Lucine?" I went back on topic.

"Oh, she went to the world she created about... A week ago?" He mused.

"Is that how long you've been staring into space for?" I asked.

"(╥_╥)"

"You know what? I'm not even gonna continue this conversation." That was the last thing I said before leaving to the human world, in my office.

"Master Odessa, you're back." Alfred called in slight surprise from where he was dusting the shelves.

"*Sigh* Apparently." I sat down at my desk chair leaned my head on my palm.

"Where you not able to find Lord Odessa?" He asked.

"No..." I mumbled.

"Would you like to play some games while waiting for her?" He suggested.

"Can I?"

"Of course, Master Odessa. All your paperwork are finished for today, so you have the rest of the day free time." He informed.

I eyed the mangas Lucine made me on the shelves. Having finished it already, I wanted to talk to her about it and ask her plan.

Since Ciel is just a young boy, his cousin will be taking over as new head of the clan. He doesn't even have interest in his family's business anyway so there won't be a problem to who'll be taking over as head in the future, knowing that his cousin's engagement will require them to have an heir.

Does that mean James would be born soon?

.....

"*Sigh* Yes, Alfred, I'd like to play some games please." I finally answered.

"I'll go ahead and ask the maids to prepare them for you." He said as he left the room.

I wonder if there's a way to prevent Emma from making that promise, or to stop Norman from choosing genocide, or Ray from suicide.

I opened my other palm to see the familiar glowing orbs hovering above my hand.

There are so many different ways to do it, yet so many possible outcomes.
