Watts Xirquit ran to her as soon as he adjusted to what has happened. He caged her with freedom in his arms, giving her light and soothing kisses on her face.

"He took my sons from me..." She whispered in daze.

"They will return them. Have faith. We will get them back."

He cupped her face. Azarese stepped back and tilted her head to the side where Princess Aurora is.

"You must be thinking you've won. You took my sons from me. I...still have yours."

Princess Aurora thought it was all over but she was wrong.

Azarese raised her hand. Her palm is open. The shadow of her figure became bigger, spreading and crawling to where the Princes are. And when she closed her palm, a snout with lots of spiky teeth ate both her sons.

Are they dead after that?

They don't know.

"IZY!!!"

When Azarese turned her back around, she found Prince Izaac behind her with his sons in his arms. They are bathing in their own blood. Izylidas is unconscious while Altair is barely breathing.

Princess Aurora ran to her husband.

"What took you so long! Why did you let this happen to my babies!"

She took their pitiful baby in her shaking arms and healed him.

But his wounds aren't closing.

Azarese tilted her head to the side. Her eyes are dull with a single spec of life in them.

"My sons' soul... I didn't even know they're real... I thought I just made them up. I thought they weren't real. They're all...that I h-have..."

Her crimson diamond tears fell from her eyes.

"I thought I made them all up. I thought it's just in my head. I didn't know they're real... I thought I just made them all up. Now, they're gone forever. BECAUSE OF YOU."

"Elyzena---"

Eins cut the hand of Watts that tried to touch her.

"Why are you specially cruel only to me, brother?"

Prince Izaac's eyes widened.

"What did I ever do...to deserve all of this?"

Her tears chased each other faster.

"She died when I was born. I was cursed so bad that none of you can go near me. If you do, you will be blackened."

She opened her hands and Hands placed the black heart on them, "Like this."

"But he can. He could. Did you know what he d-do instead? He left me at the Tower. You abandoned me there. Alone. Without anyone. A-And I was already conscious. I already have consciousness, Izaac. I-I know what he did. Day and night, my crying voice is all I hear. I was starving. I was alone. Our father would come just to fucking stab me with Excalibur because he hated me! HE WANTED TO KILL ME, IZAAC! All because our mother died because of me! And I know all of that, Brother! I KNOW ALL OF THAT!"

Azarese covered her face with her palms, sobbing.

"I have nobody! They're all I have! AAAAHHH!!! Give me back my sons! They're my best friends! They're my playmates! I didn't even know they're real!"

Prince Izaac looked down, braving through his collapsing emotions.

"You don't know how much I hated me, too! I wished that I was never born! I wished---I wished that it was me who died and not your mother, his wife, their daughter, their friend, their Empress! After all, I am just a baby! I am a stranger! BUT I SURVIVED! The Third Lady of Heart---cursed and abandoned! Alone in the world, the world against her! Everyone I ever loved turned against me and left me! And I created my sons from my fucking imagination to cope up with everything! AND WHAT DID YOU WIFE DO!? She took them away from ME! He took them to a fucking place they don't even know about---to the play where those stupid angels and their stupid King are! I challenged the world, Izaac! I challenged everyone! Fine, come and kill me! If you do, everything I own is yours BUT I CAN'T FUCKING DIE! The worst curse of all is immortality! I'VE BECOME THE PHANTOM OF YOUR SINS!"

"I was just a girl, alright?"

Hands pat her back and hugged her.

She massaged her neck, "Ah, who the fuck am I kidding? Fuck, I got so extra dramatic."

They were dumbfounded.

Azarese wiped the tears off her cheeks and told Hands to pick up her crimson tears.

"Put them in the jar. This is the first time I have shed them again," she said so casually with a snicker.

"I slipped out of my character but forget it. Going back,"

She made a mess of her hair and couldn't stop laughing.

"Wait a sec, give me a shot, Eins. Quick!"

Eins panicked and opened a portal to her vault. When it returned, it's back with a glass syringe. The liquid inside is purple. Glowing. Azarese grabbed it and immediately inserted its needle to her neck, pushing the liquid inside.

"That's right, that's right. God, I missed my drugs."

Watts' lips trembled.

Azarese wasted no drop of the liquefied drug before throwing it away. The glass shattered, scattered on the floor. Her vision became blurry, distorting her reality. And she smiled when she found Zodiac in front of her.

"A soul for a soul. A son for a son. It's my lost since I have like...four and you only have two. I guess Davorin's children can make up for the other two," she said, drunk and high.

Her body bent back, her hands dropped down. She looked at the sky and smiled.

"Take their souls, Eins and Zwei."

Prince Izaac immediately enchanted magic on his sons but it's too late for him. Eins and Zwei are angry. They are seething in anger. Azarese cried again. Azarese got so sad that she had to use her drug to feel happy. They hate them. They hate everyone.

Izylidas's hand fell. That's when Princess Aurora fell down to her knees as her husband's eyes watered.

"I-Izylidas, wake u-up... W-Wake up! IZYLIDAS! ALTAIR!"

Azarese smiled even sweeter and swayed her body side by side.

"Lalalalala~ Lala~"

Eins and Zwei kept the Princes' souls inside a jar and hid them in the best place in her vault.

Watts picked up his piece and looked at a healer. The healer got what he meant and immediately ran to help him. As Azarese dance her pain away, she found the healer so close to her husband. Watts thanked the healer as soon as his he's healed...only for the healer to fell inside a Veilion's snout below her.

Azarese wrapped her hands around Watts's waist from behind. She put her hands inside her shirt, touching her abs, feeling his warmth.

"Are you going to cheat on me? But I already marked you."

She buried the shields of her claws deep in his skin, scratching him.

"I-I only asked for treatment, P-Princess..."

Azarese tiptoed, inhaling his scent from his neck. She licked him then bit him.

"But I can. Am I not enough? Maybe I'm being too much for you to handle?"

Watts turned around to see her. And he smiled, they smiled when they see each other's faces. Azarese scrunched her nose and giggled.

"You're so handsome. Can I have your number?"

"Just my number?"

Though his heart is heavy from all of it, he pretended that everything's okay, that none of it happened, that they had just met and flirting in a bar.

Azarese smiled playfully and winked, "And your babies."

He knows. He knows that she won't be faithful. He knows that she will get her husband's back no matter what it takes. But who is he to forbid her from doing that?

He's just one of her men. One of her husbands.

But he was the first and he will be the first.

"I'm sorry you had to go through all that."

"Hmm?" Azarese lost her balance. She laughed when he caught her. She's not just high and drunk. Her mind is wandering around wildly. She's being crazy.

He lifted her up and looked at Prince Izaac and Princess Aurora. The Prince opened a portal to bring their sons back and resolve it. But before he crossed with the lifeless body of Izylidas in his arms, his tearful, furious eyes stole a glance of him.

"Are you happy now, Watts? I lost my SONS."

"And she lost me and hers and four more, Your Highness. You must not forget. You are now one of the witnesses of her story. The death of yours didn't lessen the weight that's pressuring, pushing her down. All of this...because you abandoned and neglected her."

Prince Izaac looked away. His shoulders are shuddering from the tears he's holding up inside.

He's angry. So much. But he couldn't unleash it. Because he's a witness. He's not blinded anymore. His sister... They did her so wrong.

"Take a break, everyone. No. Everyone passed," he announced and it's final.

Watts opened the door to his office and closed them. He brought the Princess to his room and went atop of her.

"Are we going to have sex?"

Watts sighed, "No. Not while you're under the influence of a drug."

"I am not drugged."

She tore her porcelain top, flashing herself to him.

"Let's do it. Do you want me to beg?"

His eyes never looked down at all. He only looked in her eyes with a different kind of spark, and though he's not seeing spirals in them, they're in a haze. The light in her eyes are engulfed in a haze.

"I know something more fun than that," he said before pulling the sheets to cover the Princess.

"What is?"

He wrapped her up in the sheets and kissed her cheeks, "You'll see. We will have so much fun. I'll make you very happy today and forevermore."

Azarese squirmed with giggles and blush in her cheeks, "You can't. I can't. If I get too happy, something bad will happen. You wouldn't want that."

And that made him stop.

He flashed a weak smile at her.

"I will chase 'something bad will happen' away. If it comes, I'll kick it's ass."

"Yay! I wanna see that!"

He cuddled her and nodded, "What do you want? I'll tell Wattroid to organize the 'fun' in my penthouse then we'll go there."

Azarese wiggled, "I wanna see your vault! I have many vaults. I'll show you mine if you show me yours. Hihi."

"Really?" He brushed her hair back and kissed the tip of her scrunching nose.

"Yes! Pajama party!"

"Oooh, a pajama party? Okay. I'll bring you to my vault. But I only have my pajamas."

"I love pajamas."

He carried the hotdog---her, and brought her to his closet. They changed their clothes into a matching pajamas but his clothes on her were oversized.

She raised her hands to her chest, "Awooo~ I am a ghost~"

He acted surprised, "Oh, my! I'm scared of ghosts!"

She jumped to hug him and laughed. He spin her around, "Let's go to my vault. Do you wanna see the small one or the big one?"

"I wanna see the baby vault. What's inside?"

He picked her up like a bride and walked to the end of his closet where his vault is, a tall, medium-sized vault.

"It's tiny. My vaults are big. Very, very!" She spread her hands in the air to show how big her vaults are.

Watts went down to his knees and sat her on his lap, facing his vault.

"The password is your birthday."

"I dunno my birthday," Azarese pouted, and it might be one of the cutest thing he's ever seen.

He guided her hands to unlock the vault. She pulled it open.

"No money?"

Watts burst out laughing, "I usually use cheques when paying, Princess. See, I don't put much here. Just documents and oh, these are my pictures. Do you wanna see my pictures?"

When he pulled out a photo album of nothing but himself, he saw how her eyes twinkled with excitement.

"Baby Watts pictures?"

He smiled, "Some. My favorite ones. Don't tell Mom and Dad, alright? Some are also their favorites, too."

She gave him a pair of teary, puppy eyes, hugging the photo album, "Can I... Can I have it?"

He squished her cheeks and kissed her cheeks, "Of course. Maybe I collected them just to give it to you."

Until Wattroid called from outside.

"Just in time. Stay here for a moment, Princess. It's Wattroid,"

"Oki. Be careful, oki?"

He smiled and kissed her forehead before leaving.

"How's...everyone?" He asked as soon as they met.

Wattroid looked sad, "The Headmaster allowed them to go home and return tomorrow morning. Some left but most stayed. Your family on the other hand, I brought them to the comfort of your penthouse, Master."

"Oh..."

"Is there a problem, Master?"

He smiled at him, "Ah, nothing. But I planned on throwing a party there with the Princess. I'm gonna task you to prepare the whole place. Set up the games and the machines I made with Sir Blaine. And also, please ask my godmother if I can hire her service for the rest of the day? You know what, just invite everyone. The Princess is harmless as of the moment. If we play friends with her, nothing bad is going to happen."

He hope so.

Wattroid understood a nodded. He did not ask why his master is doing all this when it's already given who it is for.

"I see. But where is the Princess? Shall I bring something for the Princess?"

The thought of her made him chuckle, "She's looking into my vault. She said if I show mine to her, she will show hers to me. She's being so cute right now. I want to hide her in my pocket or carry her around on my shoulder."

It made Wattroid happy, too. But his smile faded when he remembered, "M-My Lord Master! The spell sheets are kept in the vault in your closet!"

Right there, Watts immediately bolted back to his walk in closet, just in time when she reappeared after tearing the spell sheets. First, she was teleported to their Duchy. When she tore another one, she found herself in another office of his (she found a table with his name on it). For the third one, she was teleported to the Tower where the Warlocks and Dragunovvs are. It was epic. They were all frozen and surprised. The last one sent her back to his closet.

"Hi!" She said with an innocent look on her face. She's holding the last spell sheet.

She wasted precious teleportation spell sheets for NOTHING!

"Princess, don't do it. Don't," Watts said as he took light and harmless steps.

What she's holding isn't a spell sheet for teleportation.

It's the same spell sheet that the quadruplet Warlock Princes used to use on themselves, one that reverses their physical attributes into a child's.

Azarese looked down to the paper she's holding, then on Watts.

She smiled and said, "Nope!"

Then she tore the paper.
