I asked one of Ira's generals to tour me inside the castle. His name is Wasp and he is very adorable, he looks like that he couldn't even kill a single fly but I know better.

"Do you see where's Raziel?" I heard Nuriel asked beside me. I shake my head "No. I thought he is going to sleep early."

"The whole castle is looking for him. I think he is missing." our attentions were caught by a loud crashing of glass and yelling.

Wasp races to where the commotion is and Nuriel and I follow him in pursuit.

We were surprised to see Ira with her hair turning into white and a woman who has a huge wound on her cheek.

"Didn't I tell you to be with Raziel all the time?!" Ira yelled.

The woman didn't answer but her face didn't show any emotion.

I move towards Father who is rubbing the back of Ira "What's happening?"

"Raziel is missing. Something's off because Vinea forgot her duty to guard Raziel when she is not supposed to." father explained.

I chew my bottom lip and think about the new maid earlier. There is a suspicion in my mind wherein the maid's face is familiar.

She looks like Rosier. But she is a female and Rosier is a male, even though he has some delicate features.

"What about the new maid?" I feel like regretting blurting out what I said when all eyes trained on me "I.. I mean, she looks suspicious isn't?"

Ira turned to Theresa "Now Theresa, pray do tell me why is that new maid is assigned to fix the bedroom of my son? Where is the maid you assigned?"

The housekeeper shakes in fear while her eyes trained on the floor "C-Clarissa has been missing for almost a day, my Queen. The new maid is the one who fill her position."

"I've got a feeling that's a demon who disguised as a maid." Nuriel said.

"Why we didn't sense it?" father asked. Well he is right, or maybe the demons has some ability now to hide their presence?

"Who knows if the demons got some new abilities? They have new generals right?" I see, Nuriel and I arrived to the same conclusion.

"Then we gotta rescue Raziel. We should go to Hell." Ira said.

Father nods "I contacted Michael already, they will be here in a few minutes."

And that's how we came into this situation where Raziel is shivering in Ira's arms. He didn't stop crying and he is clutching to her nightgown tightly.

Ira is cooing him, but he didn't speak any word since we rescued him. His eyes are alight with fear and he is breathing heavily.

The Seraphim and archangel Michael left awhile ago, but Father choose to stay here and Nuriel.

Nuriel is clearly worried to Raziel, but even though he is keep on talking to him. Raziel didn't respond to any word he said.

I glance at father and he sigh "Ira I think there's wrong with Raziel."

Ira look up to him "What is it, Raphael?"

"I think he is traumatized to what happened earlier. He is still a kid and yet he saw dead bodies lying everywhere. Not to mention, Lucifer points a blade at him." father explained.

I saw Ira grits her teeth in anger again "I swear, if only I got the chance again. I will kill him surely this time."

"Ira, that's not the solution. We must focus on how to make Raziel talk again."

"So what's the plan? Will you heal him?"

Father shakes his head "I don't have the abilities to cure involving psychological aspects."

"Then who can bring him to talk to us again?"

"Adriel."
