EPISODE 39

"what?" vox mumbled as he listened to touji. "are you sure? i ran a background check on your family, kiddo, do not lie to me."

"vox."

"i'm sorry." vox apologized to both touji and ike.

"w-why would i lie..." touji mumbled as he sobbed. "sister cassandra and sister savvan was the only good thing in the family, but it turns out that sister cassandra was not better than the rest of them."

"sister savvan's husband hurts her and does drugs. dad doesn't do anything and pretends that he's the best dad ever, and mom always follows dad and also pretends. the house is all pretend!" touji cried. "i-i didn't like what happened there... there was too much blood... but..."

"don't say something you will regret." ike immediately stopped him. "we'll get you some help. the mademoiselle is a good lady and she will help you. she must've spared you because she felt that there was something wrong. i'll ask her to investigate into this matter."

"touji." cassandra's sister called. she immediately ran to her brother and hugged him tight.

"thank you... thank you so much..." she cried at the couple.

"do not thank us. thank the mademoiselle." ike said. "the mademoiselle is still humane enough to spare pregnant ladies and children, she just wants to put up a show for cassandra. i must apologize for that." ike added.

"but not humane enough." she mumbled, recalling how her mother was massacred by y/n's lion.

"we'll get you help as well." vox said to her. "we're just happy that your water didn't break at that very stressful moment."

the pregnant lady shook her head. "i was..."

"i was actually briefed by that... yoma guy, before the... cubs? took my family to the lion." she explained. "he told me what he knew about my family and told me what the mademoiselle has extended for us. he told me to put on a show for a little while and that me and touji will be spared."

"what he knew about your family?" ike asked.

"goddamnit! yoma is always too ahead of us!" ike cursed under his breath.

"the cubs made it seem like they were hurting me and touji as bad as they were handling my parents and my husband, but they were good actors." the lady said.

shu then left mademoiselle's room. "yo. the mademoiselle is almost done."

"she better be, it's almost 4 in the morning." vox said and stood up.

"come on, touji, savvan, i'll take you two to a new room so you can get some rest. y/n will have a word with you later in the afternoon." shu said. "i will send some accommodation and necessities to your room, so make sure not to do anything stupid. you owe the mademoiselle."

"i do not understand," ike said as the cubs took the two away.

"the what?" shu asked and stretched.

"why mademoiselle spared those two." ike then continued. "she has killed children before, she has killed pregnant women too. why would she spare those two when they already saw their parents getting eaten by augustus?"

"those two are prone to taking revenge. if that child grows up, he might do something, not just to y/n but to her future kids! and that pregnant lady might give birth to the next traitor!"

"woah, chill your heart, ike." shu said. "vox, can you please tell your wife to calm down?"

"what?!"

"come on you two, don't act like kids..."
