Leon and the rest of the zodiac rulers of the Department of Punishments and Wishes were gathered in the parlor of the mansion on Earth. Lillia Colette, Leon's girlfriend who had erased his mark of sin, had left in a hurry saying something about 'sisters'. She forgot a big ancient looking book on the couch when she left. Leon was actually surprised for her to be carrying something like this.

Ichthys: "Hey what's this?

Dui: "Looks ancient.

Leon: "Mm...that's what I thought."

Leon picks up the book. The book has an old musty brown cover that looked pretty beaten up. The edges of the pages were lined with gold. It slightly would remind you of a bible, only bigger. On the cover was engraved a large golden circle with what appears to be the Leo star sign in the middle. Only difference was that this one had a heart in the loophole and a four pointed star on the tail of the mark.

Underneath the symbol in the circle read in silver letters;  'Department of Dreams'. And underneath that in golden letters read; 'Prime Minister: Lillia Colette'. Now everyone in the room was staring at the book. Leon did not believe the cover title. Judging the condition of the book it had to be pretty old, so there was no way for her to just fake it. And even if she had tried, Lillia was a terrible artist. The engraves letters seemed to glow despite they they looked scraped. So everyone had assumed she had found it somewhere.

Huedhaut: "'Department of Dreams, members were all Colettes out of the blood of the former Queen of the Celestial World, Angellina Colette. The Colette sisters were given to the current King of the Celestial World, Therious, who is now a pronounced member in the Colette family and Department of Dreams as its vice minister.'"

Everyone stopped bickering at the words Huedhaut read out of the book.

Zyglavis: "'Colette'? Like Lillia Colette? Her mother was the queen of our world?"

Leon: "And little fun fact, that foolish king's name is Therious. A vice minister, huh?"

Leon smirks, but inside his mind runs with millions of possibilities for Lillia. The cover reads that Lillia was a prime minister for something. And right above it read 'Department of Dreams'. That only left one answer for Leon and everyone else.

Scorpio: "Does that mean...that woman...Lillia...she's a level higher than the King...I mean, Therious?"

Karno: "That seems to be the only possible answer."

Teorus: "But how though?"

???: "How? You ask?"

A silky voice, careful and calming, sounds around the room. It reminded everyone of the King, but less arrogant and more kind. The voice was coming out of the symbol on the cover of the book. Everyone froze, especially the closer ones, Leon, Zyglavis, Scorpio, Karno, Huedhaut, and Dui.

Dui: "Who...who are you?"

Angellica: "My name is Angellica Colette. A younger sister of the one you see. This book should not have met your eyes, for you are not worthy."

For some that punched them in the gut, not used to being 'not worthy'. But judging on what touchy information they had just found out about the King, and Lillia a human, they now found the book a bit off-limits.

Angellica: "Forgive our sister's foolishness of leaving this book behind. Please do not venture any further for you might be too deep to escape."

Scorpio: "Escape what? The book?"

Angellica: "The deeper past of your department...the past of a you, you might have never remembered."

Scorpio: "Well, I sorta WISHED I never remembered my past, thank you!"
