Rin puts on a suit " it's this formal ? "

" It's that formal. "Zelda answered.

Akai: Pierre Gold . The most expensive brand. And it's yours to keep.

Rin: what? Are you sure?

Zelda: you are not wearing some disgusting cheap material to that event. You're not lucky enough to have him sew a suit for you yet. This is average.

Rin: average...?

It wasn't just any dinner party. There were bets made, card games on the table.

" So boring when I keep winning. " Zelda stood up as she flicked the cards off the table.

Rin: 10 out of 10 games of poker

Rin: 10 out of 10 games of poker... It's like you could read their face.

Zelda: I can read their face.

Rin: what kind of a dinner party is this anyway?

Zelda: the kinds I go rarely to expose myself for people to know me . The lesser people fear me the better .

Rin: isn't it the opposite?

Zelda: the element of surprise is important if you want an impact of fear to be strong.

Rin: oh.

She looks to her pocket watch " a little late. I expectat him to be out by now. "

" Oh... Zelda. "

Zelda: there we go. Michael. I thought you didn't want your money anymore. Letting me play these games. I can keep on winning you know.

Michael: don't be like that. I need to earn at these functions I set up you know. Who are you particularly looking for?

Zelda: the one who fears me.

Michael: you have many.

Zelda; don't act in front of me. He ran away with my money. He won my money and left.

Michael: I'm not involved with your deals, Zelda. But... I do know he will be coming tonight. He does owe people some money. He agreed games with them in a way to clear those debts

Zelda : I see. That's enough.

Rin could tell, that man wasn't just pleasing her. He was afraid of her.

Zelda headed towards rus and the man he followed behind "   nice to meet you. Remember me? "

Rus: ha... Yes.

Zelda: I'm not talking to you.

" The Witch. "

Zelda: oh. So you remember me. Kain. The things you owe me. And you dare make another deal. How dare you.

Kain: I'll give them back to you.

Zelda: I let you win me, based on that you'll return me those money and that you're forever my pawn to control. That was the deal . You did, none. Pawns don't make demands.

Kain: well, your pawn is making a request.

Zelda: oh. That arrogance. It has been long since someone like you challenged that to me. You'll see your consequence.

She grinned " been long since I've time to waste to punish someone. "
