She's kind.
No. She merely returns back what's deserved
She's been called a witch because of how long she's been living & the amount of things she did , that couldn't be called good or bad.
Or perhaps she's not even a human at all ?
Garlis , that's my name. I'm a butler working at the Yaerren House. My very first employer. I had worked my entire life at that house to earn the position I got , a butler at that house.
The old Master had passed. The young master had taken over as the new for quite some time now.
Garlis : Master . Breakfast is ready.
" Garlis. Yes. Thank you. Sighs. All these rules. " He said. This young man, was my master. Neva Yaerren.
Garlis : you have always gotten what you wanted
Neva ; I will. Sighs. Though I have gotten my father's seat... And my businesses are running well... It's not enough. My father's businesses are still in the clan's grasps. I need it back. I want to make something big. That's mine. Mine only.
Garlis : to do that you need to get married. To the one your father arranged before he died.
Neva ; I know. I met her already from afar. She's cute. But her sister expressed that her family isn't keen.
It was a rule in the clan that everyone must marry someone who has the ability to extend their own life. So that their own family and children will have a long life. So our clan will only become bigger.
Of course , there are those who choose death at the end. But it is a rule to choose your partner who has that ability.
Or else, you will be kicked out of the clan. Which some has chosen. Stupid, some of our clan people would say.
Hence this arrangement. __________________________________
Enalise goes to him, as she sees him standing from afar " who are you ?"
Neva ; I'm Neva.
Ena : .... You're that guy. The one the clan forced my sister to marry.
Neva : forced? We made a deal.
Ena: their deal.
Neva : I see. You're the elder sis. You will take over your father if he passes. Your clan wouldn't give me that much power.
Ena: she's not marrying you. Even if you force and kidnap her to do it. I'll kill all of you to get her back
Neva ; just your opinion ?
Ena: we hate this arrangement. My parents are too old to deal with this. But I, will do as I say. You touch my sister, I will , make sure you taste my wrath.

Neva waited . She did come, he was a little happy and he was unsure if she would even come.
Nana sat down " Neva. Right ?"
Neva ; yes. I am.

Nana : ... Elder sis said you came to see me ? The other day.
Neva ; wanted to see how my fiancee looked like. I think you're cute. Nana.
Nana : .... I don't know how to respond to that.
Why is he copying Izuya ?
Neva ; it's ok.
Nana ; we've always had different clans who have come to ask for hand in marriage . Almost everyone has the ability to extend life. But usually they are only extended to the main family or those who have more power. My family, just wants to do good.
Neva : I am from a branch family too. My father didn't want me to stick out too much. So he arranged this
Nana : you asked to see me today ... You want to realise the arrangement ?
Neva ; yes. What do you think of it ?
Nana : my parents don't like it. My sister hates it. Before I left today , my sister said nothing. My parents said, take a look. Anyway you don't have suitors. Maybe he's nice.
Neva : I see. Then that's some good news.
Nana : I do, have someone I like. So... I don't think is appropriate for us.
Neva : you have a boyfriend ?
Well, I do have my own lover. This is an arrangement. Doesn't really matter.
Nana : .... I just don't think is appropriate.
Neva : you're going to wait for someone who might not reply ?
Nana : .... Shut up. It's none of your business.
Neva ; at least ask. I don't want you to waste your time on someone who might not feel the same
Nana :.... I thought this is about you . Why are you... Giving me advice ?
Neva: well... If that fails , maybe we can try this. Give us a chance.
Nana : .... A formal rejection huh ? .... I don't know you, and you want us to try ?
Neva laughed a little " you're kind and cute. I don't think you're a bad person to marry. "
She blushed a little " I'll... Think about it. " And she leaves. __________________________________
Nana waited outside the door . All the officers had come up of the room and the meeting was over. She walked in " Colonel Izuya?"
Izuya ; Nana. What's with the formal. I said it's ok for you to call me Izuya.
Nana goes and sits down by the couch " session . "
Izuya goes to the couch and sits down as well " thank you, always trying to catch me to do this for me. "
She shakes her head " I promised to heal you. "
Izuya : though... I think most of the times you come, you end up healing my other wounds after battle.
Nana : then don't get hurt. Then I won't have to come see you after.
Izuya : but I like seeing you after.
Nana blushed a little " crazy... Like seeing a healer."
Izuya : only you're the gentlest and most meticulous to me.
"you're my patient. I have to." She looked to his black mask with two purple claw marks , that he always wore. " It's cracked. "
" Oh. Wait a while. " He goes to the cupboard turning his back against her. He takes a new one and changes it back on.
Nana : ... Izuya... I like you too. No... I love you. Do you... Love me back ?
There was a short silence.
Izuya gripped the cracked mask in his hand and shatters it " sorry. I can't. "
Nana : can't ? But I thought... You liked me ? So you just don't love me ?
Izuya ; ... Nana.
She held her tears back " you have... Someone else ?"
Izuya ; no !!
" Then... Oh. So those status things matter to you too." And nana leaves the room.
Izuya: no... It's not like that.
