The next day, on the main road outside the prison, Aiden got into a rented coach.
"Sunset Boulevard," he said to the coachman.
Today, he planned on meeting with Melissa at the "Phantom Moon."
The arrangement of this itinerary was not due to Melifilia's suggestion, but because he deemed it necessary to contact Melissa to gather more intelligence.
After yesterday's meeting with Melifilia, some of Aiden's speculations had been confirmed.
Melissa was an avatar of Melifilia and also wielded the authority over "Desire."
Having confirmed Melissa's true identity, Aiden was somewhat wary of her.
Unlike Melifilia, who was in prison, she was an unrestrained bearer of power.
Furthermore, this bearer of power had a history of causing harm to others—though Melifilia insisted she and the love goddess, Melindale, were not the same person, Aiden was well aware that since they were avatars of the same entity, their modus operandi probably wouldn't differ much from Melindale's.
