After talking about some other essential matters with Itori, Lucien went to the 24th Ward to spend more time with Eto. Even though he wasn't in contact with her as long as he was with Itori, there was weird chemistry between the two of them.
She was a very mischievous and sometimes funny person. Also very intelligent and interesting. Unique views of the world. Lucien wanted to show her a real-world and also truth. She has sacrificed her entire life to one thing, the destruction of the Washuu Clan.
Lucien wanted to give her a new reason to live because once the Washuu Clan was destroyed, there won't be anybody who would be creating the so-called balance between the ghoul world and the world of humans.
It was very possible that the all-out war between two species for supremacy would erupt.
Thus Lucien spent a very long time explaining the entire situation they were in. He told her that her revenge against the Washuu Clan would be fulfilled in the near future and asked her what she wanted to do after that. Then after some time of silence, he came to her, and without any notice, he kissed her lips.
Eto was utterly taken by surprise as this was totally out of any expectations. After a short time, she completely stopped resisting his advance, and she returned his kiss in a more passionate matter.
"Eto, you need to spread your agenda further and bring more ghouls here. Soon enough, every one of our kind would need to unite to form something greater."
He said slowly.
"Think about it. I will visit you after a few days."
Said Lucien as he exited the 24th Ward and returned to his mansion. Only ten days or so remained until the start of the 11th Ward Battle and the Cochlea Raid. Lucien was fully prepared for the attack and war. Tomorrow or the day after would, Sternritter N0.3 Zelilios arrive, which would be a massive help to Lucien as he would gain warrior on his own level.

Tomorrow afternoon, Tokyo Airport.
At the familiar airport, Lucien's private jet was already parked just now. From the just exited seemingly young man in his early thirties. He had pitch-black hair and bright green eyes. His physique and stature were those of an experienced warrior.
There wasn't any opening in his way of walking. One could say that he was a very experienced person and had fought many life and death battles.
Clothed in noble-looking white attire that was very similar to the white attire that Lucien used to wear. Coupled with his entire person, he looked noble and also tyrannical at the same time. He was the Sternritter N0.3 Zelilios that came to Tokyo to help Lucien in his fight against the Washuu Clan.
For every Sacred Devourer Ghoul, this was a huge honor to be able to kill those filthy blood traitors. To members of the Sternritter, who were most loyal to Aeon House even more. Another thing was also that if they performed well, they would be heavily rewarded, tt was also known that Lucien was generous to his subordinates.
Before the jet, there was already one Hummer H3 waiting for him. He got into the car and the whole time didn't say anything. He just kept silent and thought about various things to come, especially upcoming battles that would take place.
'Emperor said that his Highness Crown Prince is plotting something against the Washuu Clan in upcoming battles. If I perform well, I should be able to obtain many more Blood-Essences to reach higher Stars in the Evolutionary Ladder.'
Thought Zelilous in his mind as he was sitting inside the Hummer H3. Like many other Ghouls, he was also a battle maniac, and his blood was already boiling at the thought of fighting the Washuu Clan.

Lucien's Estate, 21st Ward.
"I greet Your Highness, Crown Prince Lucien Etras di Aeon."
Said Sternritter Zelilios with respect as he bowed slightly.
"Sternritter N0.3 Zelilios, welcome and thank you for your efforts."
Greeted Lucien back. There wasn't any sign of arrogance or anything similar in his words, as he also respected every member of the Sternritter, and they respected him because they knew of his power and talent.
Sternritter Grandmaster, Nalthos, who trained Lucien from his early years, said that his talent in the way of the sword and martial arts were terrifying.
After greeting, they both sat down on the nearby sofa.
"So now that you have arrived, Zelilios, I am thrilled because we can attack many places of those blood traitors, Washuu Clan. Previously I had only limited possibilities as the hidden elders have terrifying power. I believe you have read my report about my fight with the Grand Elder of the Washuu Clan, Washuu Tsunekashi."
Zellilios nodded his head as he was aware of that. When he read that report for the first time, he was amazed by that. Not because Lucien won, this was something obvious and expectable, but rather the power of that Grand Elder of the Washuu Clan, Washuu Tsunekashi.
"Your first task would be to guard my future wife Itori, and together with her, you would kill several Associate Special Class ghoul investigators and Special Class Ghoul Investigators. Collect those corpses into the interspatial ring and bring them back to me."
Yes, now that Vampires and Ghoul nobility merged, Vampires gave out their legacies too. One of them was quite a lot of interspatial rings that had huge use. They didn't have a big capacity, but it wouldn't be a problem for them to store several hundred corpses.
Zelilios nodded with a serious expression.
This order was of utmost priority because he had to kill the strongest people of the Commission of Counter Ghoul, which would greatly weaken the Washuu Clan.
And more important was, of course, the safety of Itori, who was a future wife of Crown Prince of the Wandenreich. For Zelilios, this was the perfect opportunity to gain tremendous merit. He, too, knew that Lucien wasn't a stingy person, and he greatly valued his people.
Zelilios also admired Lucien because of his hard-working nature and willpower. From an early age, Lucien constantly trained and created new ways for Ghouls to get stronger and evolve further.
He also created something as miraculous as the RC Star Evolution Method, which made use of the RC Cells to further evolve into a stronger lifeform.
