(POV, Dante Ashborn)
(Time skip: several days)

It has been several days since I came back from meeting my family. Nothing really happened during those days. I was eating, sleeping and training with Igris, Beru and Bellion to better understand and control my powers. However, one day during my normal daily routine, I got a report from one of my shadow soldiers that we got a visitor on the north side of the forest. I was genuinely surprised because as far as I knew this place was in the middle of nowhere and to actually get here, people would have to cross a huge distance. I told all of the shadows to get into my shadow, so that I could go and have a look who was our guest.

After 5 minutes I reached the place where the visitor was supposed to be, to not be seen I had used one of my abilities which was called Stealth, so not to be seen. I started to look around the place to find the intruder. After looking a bit around the forest, I found a very beautiful women. She was quite tall, with white as snow hair which reached her back. She had golden eyes and snowy skin. Her beauty stunned me and I thought that I fell I love at first sight, but I removed those thoughts very quickly because a person couldn't fall in love just for external appearance, you have to know more about person's characteristics, to fully fall in love. While this internal conflict was going on in my head, I could see how the woman lost consiuos and fell on the ground. I decided to help her, but before I could do anything, one of my marchalls Beru started to talk

Beru: My liege, I understand that you want to help this woman. However, this is too dangerous and I highly advice to leave her be.

Dante: Beru I think you forgot that I am Shadow Monarch. In this world I am the strongest or one of the strongest existences, and I highly doubt she can even slightly damage me. However, if you are worried. Let's seal her powers, then take her to my house.

Beru: if you want to do it this way, your word is a law for us.

I didn't reply to Beru and decided to seal her powers away using magic which was taught to me by grandfather and Tusk. After sealing her powers, I took her in a bridal style and took her to my house. I placed her on my bed and decided to leave her be and prepare something to eat when she would wake up. Also, I left some soldiers in the shadows to inform when she wakes up.

(POV, Velzard)

After several weeks without food and with the wounds I got while escaping from some devils and other races, I reached a strange forest in the middle of nowhere and I hoped that I would finally have some rest. After I went a bit inside the forest, I didn't have any more strength to do anything and just fell asleep on the ground. I could feel how I started to wake up, but I was suprised to see that I wasn't in the forest anymore. I was in a bedroom which was honestly quite empty. I was afraid who could find me in the forest and what intentions did that person have to bring me to his/her house. I wanted to escape as fast as possible. However, even though my wounds were healed, I was still too hungry and tired to do anything. I couldn't even lift myself from the bed. Also, I felt how my powers were sealed. I became even more afraid, I wanted to cry because, if my powers were sealed I was left at mercy of a random person who I didn't know. After a few seconds a man entered the room. He was very handsome, with black like shadows hair, blue eyes and he looked like someone around 15 years old.

Dante: good afternoon, I assume you have a lot of questions, but please ask them in order and I promise to answer all of them.

Velzard: hi, can I know why have you sealed my powers?

Dante: I found you in the forest unconscious with a lot of wounds and I wanted to help you, but I know that people love to attack those who help them, so that we could have a civilized conversation I sealed your powers away. However, I promise to unseal them after we finish our discussion.
