[3rd POV]

At Mansion's Balcony

Cordelia and Richter are standing, leaning against the railing of the balcony while talking to each other.

Richter: This reminds me of the good, old days. We would forget about the time, and dance the night away. It seems just like yesterday. *lean in a bit* Cordelia, my sister in law...

Cordelia: *Put her index finger on his lips* You called me that intentionally. That's cute.

Richter: It wasn't intentional. *hold her wrist* You are my brother's wife. The fact is inescapable.

He let her wrist go and get off the railing.

Richter: I am a man who fought with his brother over you and lost. *walk and stand a bit far than her* In an effort to forget you, I wandered the world for hundred of years.

Cordelia: But why? There was no need to forget me. You don't owe anything to Karlheinz. Am I right?

Richter: *Smirk* Only a wicked woman would compel a response to that.

Cordelia: *Chuckle* You're so fun to tease, Richter. Let it go. It's all in the past. As you can see, I have been resurrected, as you wished.

Ayato: Hey, what's the meaning of this?!

Cordelia: Oh, it's you, Ayato. It's been a long time.

Ayato: What have you done? *glare at her*

Cordelia: It doesn't appear you're here to say how pleased you are to see me again. As for why I'm here...

She look at Richter.

Cordelia: Richter, would you please explain it to him? I need some rest. I'm not fully used to this body yet. She shouldn't even be conscious. Yet, she's trying to eject me. It's tiresome.

She walk pass Ayato.

Cordelia: I suppose this body isn't fully mine yet.

She left the balcony, leaving Ayato and Richter alone.

Ayato: *Glaring at Richter* What did you do to her?

Richter: ...

{Flashback}

It was the night where Cordelia.

Richter found Cordelia laying on bushes of thorny roses before Kanato.

He kneel down near her.

Richter: Oh, Cordelia!.. What happened?.. Who did this to you?.. *hold her in his arms*

Cordelia: R-Richter, I have a request...

Richter: Anything you want...

Cordelia: My body is done for... Please cut out my heart...

Richter look at her in surprised.

Cordelia: Then... I-I want you to implant it into a-another body... *reach out at him*

Richter: *Hold her hand* I presume that is the only way to keep you alive?..

Cordelia: When the time is right, we will meet again... O-Oh, you must hurry..! He's coming to incinerate me!.. Do it!..

Richter stand up and take out his sword.

He aim it on her chest.

Cordelia: *Look at him with a smile*

*Stab!*

Once she died, Richter take out her heart, along with her bloody dress, leaving her wearing inner gown.

Richter: I swear that I will resurrect you. *close her eyes* Until then, this is farewell.

Ayato: So, the heart you removed is now inside her?

Richter: The girl is merely her vessel. The girl still exists, but only just. However, once she awakens, the girl's soul will be obliterated for eternity, leaving only Cordelia.

Ayato: !.. *surprised*

Richter: Yes, as I am sure you are aware, the awakening is at hand.

Ayato: Tch!.. *walk away*

Richter: *Look at the moon* It is a beautiful moonlight night tonight.

At Forest

Ayato tell Laito and Kanato of what happened.

Laito: I see. It's finally makes sense.

Kanato: I thought it was strange. Yui-san blood smelled and tasted so sweet it would drive me crazy.

Ayato: Tch. *look away* To think that woman would be resurrected. Had I known, I should've finished her myself already that night.

Laito: There, there, Ayato-kun~ *pat his shoulder* It's too late for that, you know?

Kanato: *Look at the moon silently* Such a pain...

At Garden

Y/n look at her new appearance on fountain reflection.

Y/n: ...

Karlheinz: How do you feel, Lilith?

Y/n: ... *look at him* I feel powerful... *look at her hands* I could feel strong energy flowing into my body...

She went silent for moment before speak up.

Y/n: How do you know that I'm her reincarnation?

Karlheinz: When you were a newborn, you unconsciously unleashed strong energy. Every supernatural realm able to sense your rebirth. But of course, only powerful race like me.

He stand besides her, look at their reflection on the fountain.

Karlheinz: Since then, I've been watching you.

Y/n: 'He's been watching me since I reborn in this world?'

Karlheinz: It's a pleasure to finally meet you as Lilith. *hold her hand and kiss her knuckle*

Y/n: *Awkward* Uh... Anyway... *slowly pull her hand away* I would like to have a permission.

Karlheinz: I'm listening.

She look at him in bloodlust gaze and an expression full of hatred.

Y/n: Can I torture Cordelia and harm Richter?
