Next update won't happen unless I get 5 votes :)

Nozel POV

I came back home, tired from running. Marx had informed me that Asta was back from the mission he went on with his teammates.

He was heavily injured and requested my presence right away. He had told me about strange demonic magic- magic so strong that it surpassed the strength of the Zongratis siblings and their own devils.

Asta had warned me that there was also something going on with Hage.

Maybe the two are connected. If so...

"(y/n)!" I called out. No response.

Maybe she's sleeping or in the dining room areas, waiting for me to join her and the others for dinner.

With that in mind, I walked to the dining room only for my siblings to stare at me.

"Where's (y/n)?" I asked.

"We were going to ask you the same question," Solid said.

I frowned. "She's not here, is she?"

"If she was, we wouldn't be worrying," Solid said sarcastically.

Nebra shrugged. "Maybe she went out to get something,"

I doubted it, after one of my guards informed me that she left after I did after she read some letter from Hage.

I didn't think she'd go, she's pregnant with our kid!

"Damn it!" I cursed.

"What?"

"I know where she is," I said. "Get a spacial mage. I'm going to Hage Village."

None of us knew why she had gone to Hage, but something told me that I should go after her.

I informed only those who should know about the situation and I sped off into the sky on my silver eagle.

"Well, this is something," I frowned as I saw that no one was outside on this warm night. No children were nagging their parents to see the fireflies, no lights on inside the homes.

Except for the church.

Reader POV

I finished helping the two adults get the rest of the children to bed.

"I hope you don't mind sharing a room with me," Recca said shyly. "I know it's probably nothing compared to what you are used to-"

I grinned at the young girl. "Don't worry. My own home back where I come from is half the size of this church,"

"Wow! And you grew up there with your father and three brothers?"

I nodded. "I'm fine, really."

"Can you tell me about the castle?" She asked as she settled into bed.

I settled into the bed next to hers. "Well, it's massive. If you don't have a good sense of direction, then you'll get lost. I can't tell you how many times Nozel had to 'rescue' me."

Recca laughed as I told her stories about the castle and described everything. She was most fascinated with the Royal Library.

I could tell she was fast asleep now. It was around 10 pm and taking care of little kids all day long is tiring.

I slowly crawled out of the bed and looked out the window, only for my jaw to drop.

Standing outside of the church talking to Father Orsi and Sister Lily was none other than Nozel.
