Kikyo was waiting for her at the door. As expected. William was beside her with his stoic face, his own android servant Frank by his side.
"Hime-chan." Her mother called out to her sweetly in an attempt to persuade her.
As if that would work.
"It's been a while since you've been home. Won't you stay for a few more days? Now, come on and get back to your cell."
She ignored her and kept walking, Sayori following behind with her belongings.
"Don't wanna." She said.
As if it burned her, Kikyo's face turned upright, rage evident in her features. How dare she? She only wanted to protect her. How can she leave her home?
"Lilliane!" She draw out her arm to stop her; but she stopped just before her fingers touched her daughter's face.
Those eyes. How can she look at her mother with such disgust?
"Out of my way."
Lilliane proceeded to walk leaving her mother slumped down the floor, her ugly cries can be heard throughout the hall. How annoying.
"Hime-chan...You can look at me with such cold eyes now...Mother is very happy..."
Kikyo felt overwhelming joy filling her. Those were the eyes of a true killer. She had raised her perfectly. How proud she was to be her mother.
"Hime-sama."
"What is it?"
They were now out of the estate, and inside one of their family cars. She was in the backseat while Sayori served as her driver.
"Excuse my rudeness, but you look like you're thinking about something."
"Is that...so?"
Maybe she was indeed worried about something. How would they react once they see her? She did suddenly disappeared after the ball without any of them knowing.
The ride was peaceful; she almost slept. Even after leaving the demon world, nothing bad had happened yet so she was safe. For now. There's no doubt that her mother would try to capture her again and bring her back to the castle.
"...My lady?"
"It's nothing. Please do not mind me."

Ruki had ordered his familiars to clean the guestroom, a habit he had grown in to after Lilliane started to stay with them. Even as orders from the Vampire King, she was one of the people he can respect, as her wholesome attitude was a nice company once in a while.
Even Kou was whining on how she was taking too long to return; and he knew that this wasn't a simple family banter that he can easily ask for information.
The Von Phönix family.
The only lineage of the Phoenix clan; the royalty of the Demon World. Due to the immense power wielded by its members, they have isolated themselves from the other clans. It's no wonder their existence was doubted. They do not like involving themselves with other races.
"Kou, where's Yuma?"
"He's in his garden. You know, Yuma-kun has been working really hard on growing some sort of flowers lately..."
"Flowers?"
"Mm. Well enough of that! I have to go to work! I'll be expecting Vongole Bianco again later! See ya!"
