There was a man who was walking in a hallway. This hallway was inside a mansion, and the owner of the mansion was the man.

The man was just walking without hesitation, and his steps were light as one could hear it.

Tak. Tak. Tak.

Of course, this man was the man who commanded another man to say something to his subordinate, Shadow.

This man was also the boss or the master of the organization that Shadow belongs to.

And that was perfectly justified.

Why? It was because this man was strong! He was even stronger than Shadow and Shadow's subordinates altogether.

However, as Shadow fears this man, there is something that this man fears.

It was something that the man could never deny, and it was something that the man never wanted to see.

However, not even this man could escape from that fear of his.

That was why the man's footsteps were getting quicker by the minute.

It seems that this man was getting impatient about stuff and all.

And because of his increased pace, a voice suddenly spoke to him.

"My lord."

And when the man took a look in front, it was a butler who was dressed properly.

The butler was also bowing his head as he spoke once more.

"How was your day?" The butler said.

However, the man didn't care about that kind of small talk.

There was something else that the man wanted to see right now.

And that was why the man ordered the butler right away.

"Bring me the box."

And when the butler heard it, he just bowed his head even more.

"As you wish."

The butler then disappeared as he went to fulfill his lord's orders.

And the man who was the lord soon started walking once more.

His destination was the living room of this mansion, and he was able to get there quickly.

After all, he could see a door right about now.

"Open." The man said as he continued walking even though the door was still closed.

And that was because the door suddenly...disappeared as the man walked into it.

It was quite strange but magical at the same time.

And when the man entered the room, he soon saw a table.

A grand table, but that was the only furniture existing in this place.

No, there was also a chair, but that was it.

The designs on the wall were also grand and all, but overall, this room looked a little bit...boring.

However, the man didn't care about that at all as he proceeded to sit on the chair.

And as if he were waiting for this moment, the butler soon appeared right in front of the table!

It was such in time that one might think that the butler was watching the man's every move!

However, it was actually the opposite.

The man waited for the butler to finish his task before proceeding to sit on the chair.

Although he seems to be walking normally, he was actually not.

All was perfectly calculated in this man's mind.

"My lord, here it is." The butler said as he placed the box that the man was looking for.

And the box was...just an old box that seems to have no value at all.

There were even some patches here and there, and it truly looked like something that would belong to a poor man.

However, the lord didn't care about that as he grabbed the box.

It wasn't locked or something like that, and that was why the lord was able to open it rather quickly.

And what was inside was...

"The Raksha's letter." The lord said as he grabbed the paper inside it.

It seems that this letter was important to the lord as he held it carefully.

And it seems that the butler was a trusted subordinate of the lord as he wasn't dismissed even though the lord was probably looking at one of his secrets.

He even opened the letter right in front of the butler.

And when the lord looked down to read the letter, the first sentence that he saw was...

"Demon. Demon. Demon. Demon. Demon. Demon. Demon. Demon. Demon. Demon. Demon. Demon."

Demon. Those were all the words that the first sentence had. And the lord said it without missing a single one.

And it seems that the lord was used to reading this now as he didn't even question why it repeated the word demon so many times.

The lord then brought his eyes down as he proceeded to continue reading the letter.

"The twelve demons that rule the twelve hells."

However, that was all the lord could read as the paper...was torn in half.

It was such an anticlimactic end for a bizarre and weird letter.

"What do you think, Bas?" The lord said as he rested his back on the chair.

His eyes were looking straight at the butler, who was called Bas.

The lord then continued speaking.

"Where do you think the other piece of Raksha's letter is?"

"My lord, I am simply a butler. There is no way I could possibly know where the other piece is."

"I know." The lord said as he closed his eyes.

After all, he didn't really expect that his butler would know about the whereabouts of such an important piece.

He was just that desperate to know where the other half was.

After all, as smart as this lord was, even he couldn't understand what the letter was about.

'Twelve hells. Was Raksha talking about us?' The lord thought.

However, he soon shook his head. He didn't have to think hard about it.

After all, there was only one reason why the lord was trying so hard to find the other half.

And that was because of his dream.

'That dream...I was able to find it. The other half of Raksha's letter.'

'I must find all pieces at all costs...I must find everything.'

'So, I can kill him before he is born!'

'Don't hate me for this...Queen. This is all for us.'

'This is all for us...'

The lord then calculated everything in his mind as he made plans for the times to come.
