Katherine Adara sat with Raul in his mansion and explained to him how she had failed her mission. Gaga stood with them as she talked.
"It's Tyde Voda again." Raul gave a short laugh and sat back in his chair.
"Do you happen to know her my Lord?" asked Katherine.
"I broke a bone of her's only last week." said Raul and Katherine stared at him surprised.
"Forget that. I get the part where Ares was rescued by his cousin. But how exactly were the drugs burnt to ashes when the Vodas are clearly from the water clan?"
Katherine looked remorseful. "That is, my Lord, she made a water barrier and parked the truck behind it. And when we attacked the barrier..."
"The barrier broke down on its own and you ended up burning the truck?" asked Raul.
"Even if we bring it up with Helios now, it would look like as if we ourselves burnt the evidence my Lord." said Gaga
"She is not some ordinary lady My Lord." said Katherine. She was already ashamed of her failure and found the excuse that her opponent was sufficiently formidable.
"The question is whether she was involved from the start? If not, how did she know that we had Ares?" asked Raul
"I have looked into it my Lord. She has been staying at the Logam's tea estate on the Yona hills for a few days now." said Gaga
"The Logams from the metal clan?"
"It seems Lady Voda is a close friend of Lady Clementine Logam."
"I see. So that's where she gets her swords from.." remarked Raul and then turning to Katherine he said, "Look into the Logams for me... That Voda brat is loyal and clever but... not smart enough to handle me."
Raul stood up and took his coat.
"Where to my Lord?" asked Gaga following him.
"Where else do you think? Let's go complain to the adults." Raul smirked.
"You mean we are going to.."
"Lady Regina Voda. I don't think the mother of Ares Voda would be as foolish as Ares himself. She will know better."
Gaga guessed what his Lord was about to do and quietly drove him to the Vodas.
