Hylos gazed at Freya whose expression, despite Odette being very friendly and not suspecting anything, was tellng him to be careful. He then gave her a small nod and turned to the girl. "Since you know who are we looking for, can you help us?" He asked a smiple question.

"Hm... Maybe. I think I can." The girl who still had her hood on replied. She had a cocky grin spreading all over her face. On her right hand, there was a golden claw extended with long blades. She was cleaning it with the glove that was covering her other hand. It was a very unusual weapon to see.

"Then tell us. Where can we find him?" Hylos questioned her. "We need any trail that can lead us after him." He said, still in a calm tone. His gaze was examining her from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet.

"Hey, hey, hey. Slow down a bit. Why would I tell you anything about that?" She asked, her grin growing as she focused her cold gaze, the one of a murderer at Hylos.

He stood fearlessly in front of her but started loosing his nerves. "You said you would help us!!" He said angrily frowning. "Stop playing games and answer my question!"

The girl chuckled slightly before correcting him: "I said I could help you, if I wanted to, not that I would help you." She said. "Why would anybody in this world do anything for free? What do I get out of helping you hunt down my own family memeber?"

Before Hylos could reply to her, seeing it would only make things worse, Odette stepped in between them and said: "Hey, then how about making a deal? Tell me, what do you want? Gold? Jewles?"

The assassin in white hood now frowned. "That's below my honor to betray people for money. Come on, I though you had something more to offer." She said.

Hylos was confused. He has never met an assassin not willing to betray somebody if offered a fine amount of gold and he has met quite a bit of them so far. "Then what do you want?" He asked.

"I don't know. Find something I'd like and we will talk!" Natalia said before jumping in a nearby bush and disappearing in the whispers of leaves. The three were left alone once again, surrounded with garden that hasn't been taken care of in quite some time and in front of a rich looking building already covered in moss.

The Swan Princess quickly followed her and tried to spread the branches to reveal her but she was gone just as she appeared, with a gust of wind. "Wha-- Where is she?" She asked. "Well, this was weird..."

The valkyrie remained unusually silent throughout whole conversation with the assassin of Church of Light but she was indeed thinking about their new problem; what is more valuable than gold for an assassin?
