Second person's POV

It was night when Oscar and Rhys had reached home from the visit. Yet the entire journey has been remained silent after Rhys's declaration of his love to Oscar.

'Is it mine to blame as Oscar was filled with hopes on me successfully courting Ava? Or was it Oscar herself who was unprepared with my truthful words? But it mustn't be her fault...'
Rhys thought deeply, not even noticing Oscar's tapping his shoulder.

"Rhys , snap out of it."
"O-Oh , right , apologies."
Rhys said as he unbuckled his seatbelt , getting off from the car. The two walked their way from the parking lot to the elevator , in a extremely silent yet awkward situation.

Rhys kept on sending glances to Oscar who was now playing with the belt of satchel across her chest. He was hoping to at least open up to Oscar yet his sudden enthusiasm on courting Oscar was just wondering darkly in the corner of the poor demon's head.

"I-I'm sincerely sorry of being quite rush with...all of that commotion... I was quite overly-"
"Do you love me , Rhys?"
With Rhys stopped running his hand through his hair , he turned to look at Oscar. Her eyes were written with determine and curiosity.

"W-What?"
"What do you like about me? There must be some discussion on this result of our experiment."
Oscar said as the elevator reached the floor with her ushered out of the small tight room , followed with Rhys behind.

"I don't understand your question."
"Do you like me , because of power or love?"
Rhys froze by this seriousness from Oscar. He knew that for Ava , was to rule over Ear-th , or to bring humans to Daemos for resources of their magic. But Oscar..... She just seemed to just cuts into their lives and part of their world she was. She was cold hearted , cruel and sincerely would not hesitate with her antics. She seemed to have a certain amount of power , yet was hidden away.

He was finally stuck with this one question. One question that seemed to be easy to be answered , yet the answer seemed to be only stuck by the mouth. He even questioned himself , 'What did I love about her? I don't even know about it. It's just.... it just felt like... it was right....'

"You know , you can't just come up conclusion that fast without any prove."
"Aren't my words truthful enough to prove the fact , Oscar?!"
With a small chuckle from Oscar , she pulled the demon down to her height and giving him a small kiss on the cheek , leaving the demon flustered.

"Me conoces, soy terco como el infierno. Me encanta verte esforzarte más~"
The demon blinked his dark blue eyes before finding out Oscar just caressed him on the cheek. His feelings were blast into outer space as he swiftly rushed into his chamber , leaving Oscar chuckled behind. Yet soon , as soon as his figure vanished into the walls , her smile froze as her footsteps can tell to be fasten.

The moment she slammed the doors shut in her room , startled Mirage's beauty sleep for the moment , she dropped her satchel and slided down to the ground with her body against the door.

As what a cat do best , it moved its way towards Oscar with its face rubbing against her knee.

"Yo... acabo de hacer eso, Mirage... lo besé... ¿Cómo pudo esto siquiera... Debería haberlo dejado ir... Maldición de mi terquedad..."
Oscar muttered in full tone of regret while Mirage just continued doing what a cat does best.

Meanwhile . . ....

"Her? With a dude?"
"Most likely to be accurate , sir. He sounded like a scholar."
The informer claimed as he handed the black suit dressed man the file of photos. Most of them were Oscar , and in the blurred background was Rhys or herself walking alone , probably from the store etcetera.

"Interesting...."
"Should we continue the spying?"
"No , I want you to bring her by force."
The informer looked at the boss of his in shocked.

"Or perhaps.... we bring over... in a much more interesting way.... We let her come over , and something that compulsory to let her come over... ," The man muttered as he grabbed the light yellow card from his drawer and observes it with his navy blue eyes before handing it over to his informer.

"She needs to know the fact... running away from her family was not the best among all solutions.... She's our sister in the perspective of law."
"You know she doesn't speak well with law , sir. Plus , she does know how you felt for her already."
The boss kept his mouth shut as he had his hands intertwined and placed under his chin.

"D-Did I said too much , sir?"
"You.... You're dismissed."
Those navy blue eyes glanced at the informer , witnessing his rushed steps out of his room. Sighed with his reached out his family photo , with his gliding on the female figure in the lovely looking picture.

"You say the price of my love's not a price that you're willing to pay~ You cry in your tea, which you hurl in the sea when you see me go by~"
The navy blue eyes human hummed as he stood up with the photo frame in his hands while spinning in 360 degree circles.

"Why so sad?~ Remember, we made an arrangement when you went away
Now, you're making me mad~ Remember, despite our estrangement, I'm your man~" He sang as he opened the glass frame and pulled out the picture.

With both of his hands on the picture , he unhesitatingly tore the picture in half , ignoring his family if their faces were tore , only his eyes set on the female's perfect features.

"You'll be back, soon, you'll see~ You'll remember you belong to me~ You'll be back, time will tell~ You'll remember that I served you well~ Oceans rise, empires fall~ We have seen each other through it all~And when push comes to shove~ I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love!~"
He sang with the female figure's picture in his hand tight while his family's was dropped on the ground , stepped under his leather shoes. He ignored the tore piece as he continued his song.

Da-da-da, dat-da, dat, da-da-da, da-ya-da
Da-da, dat, dat, da-ya-da
Da-da-da, dat-da, dat, da-da-da, da-ya-da
Da-da, dat, dat, da-ya

"You say our love is draining, and you can't go on~ You'll be the one complainin' when I am gone~ And no, don't change the subject~ 'Cause you're my favorite subject~ My sweet, submissive subject~ My loyal, royal subject~ Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever~"
He sang with an acted desperate expression on his face as he laid on his bed with pleasure and with the picture in his hand.

"You'll be back like before~ I will fight the fight and win the war~ For your love, for your praise~ And I'll love you 'til my dying days~ When you're gone, I'll go mad~ So don't throw away this thing we had~ 'Cause when push comes to shove~" , He hummed with the picture stuffed into his pocket and danced his way to the table where the picture of Oscar and Rhys was pictured.

Staring evilly at the demon next to Oscar , he tore it in half then tossed the crumpled up picture into the trash bin ,
"I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love~"

Da-da-da, dat-da, dat, da-da-da, da-ya-da
Da-da, dat, dat, da-ya-da

As the man sang , he danced to a mirror. With his long arms removed the mirror to reveal a billboard full of pictures of Oscar , whether she was asleep , reading , eating , or any activities. As he stared at the pictures dreamily , he grumbled in annoyance when the servant knocked on his door.

Doing a blow kiss , he then placed the mirror back on the usual spot before walking out of his room , like the usual gentleman he was known from the public....
