It happened days before Elize and the others reached Vartilla.
"So Crim - - - how did your search in the empire with Belle go?" Asmodeus and Crimson were sitted in the dining room gazing at each other as they sipped tea from their respective cups.
"My Lady - - what was this tea brewed with?" Crimson asked with a peaceful expression on her face.
"Fresh red lemons is the key ingredient to my tea brewing recipe."
"Oh---" Crimson kept on taking the tea with a peaceful expression that would even entice Aine.
'Red--huh!!' she thought wryly as she spoke.
"I discovered many secrets of the Empire in our time there."
"Come out with it already," Asmodeus was growing impatient.
"But first, may I ask you a question?" Crimson stopped sipping her tea.
"I know what you're going to ask," and then they spoke at the same time.
"" How are you still alive? "" the curse of Xenos was meant to engulf her remaining life force red knight or not.
"SIGH!! I would tell you but I think you can tell what happened," Asmodeus laughed lightly to cool the tension rising in the room.
"That boy saved you," Crimson hit right on the money.
"Right," Asmodeus confirmed as she caught on her face telling it had turned great red
'I wish that I also had someone who' d do the same for me--no I should eliminate such needless thoughts, 'she cast aside her wish with a wry smile.
"Crim - - -" Asmodeus extended close to her friend's face.
"Am sorry I got distracted,"Crimson broke out of her stupor.
COUGH!! COUGH!!
" Anyways I found the location of that mountain. "
" So it wasn't a myth after all - - - "Asmodeus thought as she broke into a cold sweat.
" The mountain that killed the humans in the empire and revived them as half demons spawning their strength as well. "
" And with that in mind me and Belle discovered an easier way to purge the empire - - -" Crimson caught her breath.
"That is....." and so did Asmodeus.
"To kill the Empire's strength - - - we must destroy that mountain that will unconsciously destroy the world - - before he does."
"We must go to the empire but..." Asmodeus remembered her mistress' words.
[We shall go together--to save him.]
"SIGH!! You don't have to go - - I'll go," Crimson stood up putting her military white cap on her head abd walking towards the door.
"Wait--"
"What is it My Lady?" Crimson turned back before walking out the door.
"Donot go out there to search for your resting place," Asmodeus stared within her soul deeply.
'You are a kind person - - not a monster.'
"We will be there too--"
"---------"Asmodeus was met with pure silence as Crimson walked out while gripping her chest tightly.
' Seems it's gonna be a crimson moon tonight,' Asmodeus tried to find an answer within that crimson glow.
" What should I do? "chaos had began to ensue.
