Iris wants to collect reliable evidence against the Imperial palace but he knows that he will never succeed that's why he asked Iannae to do his task for her instead. Iannae agreed and as a debate she asked him to forget the lake incident. They both agreed on each other's terms and conditions. Soon Iannae went off to rummage the palace for collection of the written evidence kept hidden by mistress Rubina. She has only four days left to enforce her plan. Afterwards she needed to go back to the temple because of the 'Demonstration Festival' celebration. It was what Iannae's mission to accomplish but when she engrossed deep into the palace. There is more conspiracy than seems ,So. She changed her plan after becoming an assassin after murdering the whole Royal imperial family.
These are some of the thoughts rumbling inside Iris's mind. Father Patricia is not back yet. It's been exactly two days since Iannae left too .Ryainer's nightmares suddenly took a U-Turn in his dreams again but What? He was worried the most that Iannae might stir from her original assigned task and would have been plotting to murder the Emperor and his son Achilles and jade respectively.
Iris believes that if he is talking about Iannae whether she could kill the emperor or not then it's more like a 'Yes' because she is willing to do so. He recollected how the five sugar cubes incident happened just before she went off to the palace .It also let him reconcile what conversation he had with her at that time . Iris remembers how he asked Iannae 'Who you " No' actually who you truly are Iannae? I wonder if you are even human".At that time In response Iannae just laughed coldly and said " If you were me .What would you say?".
"A person who will lose her strings soon" said Iris with a thorough justification.
"Uh. . not exact but close" Iannae subsequently hummed before correcting Iris and said " A person who had already lost her strings long ago". Saying so, Iannae left the secret hall after grabbing the nuns outfit in her hands.
It makes Iris astonished till the present day. He doesn't know what her words were supposed to mean. Right now Iris' self investigation against Iannae is paused due to the festival . Today He has a busy schedule. He couldn't help but take one more antidepressant pill offered by Martha.
Martha is one of those secret members of the Temple's council that are highly aware of Ryanair. Father Patricia's first purpose was to form a five members summity for Ryan that will only include his willing supporters. In which three are compulsory members. Father Patricia, Iannae and him other than them two more individuals were selected. Martha and Veer.
They were not selected on the basis of merits. It just so happens that Ryan's inner disability and kidnapping incidents occurred in front of them. Lastly to avoid rumour within the temple that left Iris with no choice but to take them in too. Although top confidential news is yet to be revealed to them, Martha has never done anything to earn Iris's trust, which is stopping him from believing in her.
Unexpectedly, A person came inside the restricted hall without Iris knowledge .It was none other than Veer. He is carrying dozens of documents in his hands and making his way towards Iris's desk but before he could make it .
He tripped and fell along with the documents that were spread like a flood of paper onto the floor.
Iris sighs and mumble to himself 'That's why .I am still rethinking over whether I should include Veer in this team or not'.
The matter of fact is Veer's personality is Clumsy even if he tries to make things better his clumsy self always ends up making it worse.
Iris helps Veer in picking up all the documents which were messed up a while ago. When they both were engaged in managing the documents Martha notices something and says "I shall take my leave .I have an important matter to take care of. I apologise for not helping you both. Excuse me" after which she left the room.
"What a Hypocrite" I don't like an old gesser. . " In response Iris gave him a head shot and with a straight face he said " No pristine allowed to abuse inside the temple. Have you bringed the Envelope .I ordered yesterday?"
Veer nodded and pulled out a silver envelope from his robe and asked " Priest Iris. Why are you really eager to investigate the prestigious prism mirror relic that has been stolen ages ago? "
"Well you don't need to know " In a friendly tone Iris asked " Instead How were you tripped on a flat wooden surface?
Veer just scratched his nape and said " I don't know. I felt like someone yanked my ankle".

Ryan opened his eyes. He found himself in a deep dark room. He mumbled to himself 'Am I seeing a nightmare again. Even after taking 10 sleeping pills '. He wants to curse his situation but his focus was moved by the grizzly sound of lightning due to the weather.
Suddenly he heard the babies crying but there was no baby present inside the room. He took some steps and found the door around him and turned its knob. A joint hallway visible to him which contained an old staircase of an enormous sized palace .They guarded him on the first floor. There is a podium-like structure where two babies were crying while lying corresponding to each other. The right one is a boy and the left is a baby girl. The former has Golden hairs and honey coated pupils and the latter contains dark hairs and violet pupils. They both were reflecting an extremely opposite aura in respect to each other.
Ryan doesn't know why but when he looks at the baby girl it reminds him of Iannae. For consideration he whispers to himself that 'It might be because he had not seen Iannae for two entire days' And now he is visualising her in a baby girl. He extends his hand and tries to touch her cheeks .Thereafter with a sudden push an elderly priest bulged within the babies. Ryan almost got tripped. but that man did not stop yet .He used force to snatch the girl and with a horrific dilemma he said "Her eyes are cursed. Don't touch her .It will impact you too just like the baby boy there. He stopped crying because of her eyes.
Ryan doesn't understand what that psycho priest is up to but he gots a bad feeling about this. He thought inside ' Even if this is a nightmare .I should not forget that this is my nightmare . It will definitely end with the worst case scenario before I will awake.
That old priest turned his back on Ryan and walked ahead. Ryan tried to keep up the pace but he was left behind because the area under him is moving continuously like an escalator. It stopped after that man had reached 10 metres away from him.
Ryan is worried about the girl child. She is so fragile and small that's all what he was thinking while standing there . He saw the psycho priest holding a knife in his hand .It made him panic. He shouted very hard but it's of no use. Ryan takes a step forward and soon he can feel himself lying on the floor while tugging his both hands on his stomach by an unknown external force. His mind turned blank . He cannot grasp what is going to happen in the next moment. He doesn't know why he is bearing pain from his eyes like someone had stabbed them with no mercy . Although his eyes were fine but they feel not? His pupils were intact but why did they seem not and if this is his reality then where is the god?
Ryan's pain was gone when he again heard the baby cry. He rushed towards her and pushed that old priest aside and carefully got back the baby girl before he took a glimpse of her face. The priest said "Look, look these evil eyes were removed from her now. She is alright. Look at her. When Ryan turned his head he was holding nothing and the man in front of him was also nowhere to be seen. At dawn when he opens his eyes again. He was lying on his bed.

"Is this tea to your liking? Iannae?" Said Rubina with a forgery smile on her lips.
"I am more than glad for drinking a single sip of tea with you. My lady" analysing Rubina's behaviour Iannae got that she is not welcome here. It's more like she was duress here rather than invited. She gripped her cup and said "Why did a Noble lady such as you Mistress Rubina summoned me here? Not for a mery tea party. Am I wrong?
"No you got it perfectly right" said Rubina casually "Let's make a deal. All you need to forget is ,some of the misconceptions that happened yesterday. Take back your imputation against Agatha .In return you can have whatever you want."
"Alright. But I wonder are you truly willing to give me what I desire " Iannae kneel down and said with elegance " I desired you to be the Empress , Rubina"
