Not So Heavenly Moments

Encounter

Welcome, to my humble dimension, nothing too fancy my dear. Are you prepared to witness memories that have been long since forgotten?
This time, we will focus on a particular dimension, with unlikely duos.
On another note, kindly ignore any mistakes I possibly make, this is my first time unraveling their story after all~

But without further ado, let us move on to the memories~

Chapter 1:

Complete utter silence, Dreadlord's hand itched to his gunblades as he stood behind Lu's chair.

"My apologies for the sudden intrusion Noblesse." Chiliarch said loftily with a small, amused smile on her face, one hand preoccupied on holding a cup of tea and the other drumming against the table.

Noblesse laughed softly, the sound echoing against the chamber where they were having tea. Honestly, the servant thought with a furrowed brow, how his master can remain so calm and poised facing her was something he'll never understand.

Perhaps this reflects the gravity of the situation, but Chiliarch's eyes were different. They did not hold the childish twinkle that he had become accustomed to over the years of being her partner. No, Lu's eyes were sharp, alert, ready to fight in case of a "warm welcome", yet at the same time, managed to speak and move with grace like the demon queen she truly was.

Dreadlord's hands twitched again at words that the demon queen in front of them spoke." I take it that you are also me, what brings you here though?"

A slight tilt of the head, seemingly genuine, but he still didn't let his guard down. Chiliarch seemed to not care anymore because she gave a laugh, Dreadlord allowed himself to relax a little at that, feeling the calm reassurance Lu sent through the contract.

"Noblesse," Chiliarch grinned, resting her chin on the bridge she made with her hands." I would have already told you if I had the answer, but we just woke up in the garden before you found us."

That was true, all he remembered was fighting demons, and protecting Lu, after that it was blurry, exhaustion taking it's toll on him. He faintly remembered Lu forcing him to sit down and muttering someting under her breath in demonic tongue and a soft blue light enveloping them.

Chiliarch's face morphed into a more serious look." I only muttered a transportation spell in order to escape our pursuers."

Noblesse hummed, hands clasping together with a soft smile. Another her, the idea was so intriguing yet, at the same time so bizarre and strange. The door starts to open and she feels the worry coming from Ciel.

"Well," she starts to say, turning to Royal guard." I'm sure our guest needs some much needed rest, Ciel dear, kindly prepare a room for them please."

Royal guard sets the tea tray down, wary eyes meeting Dreadlord's who's grip tightened into fists. Chiliarch looked up at him and in an effort to melt the ice in the room says." I believe we haven't properly introduced you two to each other no?"

"Ciel." She gestured to the dreadlord, then to the royal guard." Meet Ciel." Noblesse' shoulders shook in silent laughter at that.

"What?" Came Dreadlord's flat voice. This time Noblesse actually laughs, and unlike earlier which seemed fake, this one was genuine.

Chiliarch beams at Royal guard." What would you like me to call you? It's gonna be confusing to refer to you two as the same."

The blue-haired man jolted, seemingly not used to being spoken to directly, the noblesse' smile is amused, the dreadlord's grip only tightens.

Ciel searched for a reply through his muddled mind, complete with wariness and confusion brought by two strangers who claim to be them, but with different titles and paths.

"You may call me by my title." He finally says, voice soft but eyes darting between his master and their guests.

Noblesse finally deems tonight's events to be enough, whether because the air was too awkward or something else we'll never know, because she clears her throat, diverting their attention towards her.

"Royal guard," She calls, Ciel blinks before seemingly responding, it would a while to get used to this, he realizes." kindly show our guest their rooms for tonight, we will discuss further tomorrow morning."

He merely nods and turns on his heel, Chiliarch and Dreadlord exchange looks behind his back, it was an expecting look from Noblesse that beckons the duo to follow the blue-haired butler.

And the general thought of everyone, is that this would take a while to get used to.

To be continued...

We shall leave it here today, for our protagonists need some time to adjust to each other's presence.
Perhaps in the next memory, the wariness will disappear, and the ice will melt.
Maybe Dreadlord and Royal guard will be able to accept each others presence~
Who knows? We shall find out in the next memory~

As always, thank you for joining me tonight, I bid you farewell and until we meet again~

Join me and I will show you a new memory the next night~
