"Queen Elisa, it seems that the men you sent to Edward were defeated." A man spoke to Elisa, kneeling before her.
She, who was lying on a huge bed eating fruits, sighed tiredly and said, "Tell everyone that I want 20 men to attack him. I want them to break his legs and arms, understood?" Her voice was gentle and soft, but her words sent shivers down the man's spine.
"Okay... I'll let them know." The man yielded and stood up. He didn't want to do it, but since it was orders, he had no choice.
Suddenly, the door opened and Kato walked in, smiling. The man and Elisa looked surprised at him, but Kato ignored their looks and began to speak, "I can't believe you're thinking of causing so much harm to my precious friend, Elisa Black."
Elisa was surprised that he had managed to enter her room, which was located in a corridor protected by 100 women, but she regained her composure and asked, "What do you want with me?" Her gentle voice was music to Kato's ears, but he was not satisfied, he wanted to hear her true voice: "Your voice is charming, but I want to hear your true voice, so speak." Kato ordered.
Elisa and Kato exchanged threatening looks for some time. But Elisa finally yielded and sat on the bed. She looked at her servant and said, "Go now, but come back if you can get the location of Mia Miyamoto, okay?" The man quickly saluted and replied, "Yes!" Then he ran to the door and left.
Now alone, Elisa gently said to Kato while tapping the side of the bed, signaling for him to sit, "Come." Kato obeyed and confidently went to her and sat next to her. After feeling his weight sinking into the mattress, she hugged Kato and whispered in his ear, but with her true voice, "I'm going to kill your sister, understand?" A horrendous and macabre voice echoed in Kato's ears. But instead of being scared or surprised, he smiled and replied, "I would be grateful to see that, that way, it's certain that I will become the next head of the family." His happy voice ended up leaving Elisa surprised and confused, but she soon understood the reason for Kato's happiness...
"A Miyamoto will always be a Miyamoto, right? A family where dead people are synonymous with failure, uselessness, and weakness." She said, and Kato replied, "Death means weakness. If someone can't even survive, then you shouldn't be called Miyamoto. My family has ingrained this in my bones since birth, and that is why I am who I am."
"Kato Miyamoto, a survivor, assassin, and psychopath... Someone who follows their own rules, regardless of the consequences... When I first saw you, I thought you would be uglier, with the appearance of a monster or something. But now..." Elisa didn't finish her sentence, she kept looking into Kato's cold blue eyes, as if hypnotized. Curious, Kato asked, "But now?" Elisa smiled at him, and suddenly, she began to kiss him in response. He accepted the kiss with open arms, as if he wanted it. The two fell together on the bed while passionately kissing, enjoying and accepting each other's insanity...

After defeating those five men, I discovered through them that Elisa Black was responsible for everything. She had chosen me as a target and was most likely planning to end me, using all possible means.
I am now in Mia Miyamoto's room. She is under the covers listening to music, apparently trying to rest. I am in a chair in her room, trying to figure out a way out of this situation.
My choices are:
1- Face Elisa and her minions alone.
2- Ask for Michael and the others' support.
3- Hide.
Out of my three options, I honestly prefer the first. I hate depending on others to do anything, so it's better for me to face her alone. But the question is, how, when, and where?
Suddenly, as if reading my thoughts, Mia took off one of her earphones and asked, "You're friends with Michael, right? Why don't you ask him to stop Elisa? He's the king, right? He can order anyone." Her voice was filled with curiosity and interest. But not interest in my answer, but in the relationship I had with Michael. Sighing, I replied, "Michael and I are not friends, and he doesn't care about what happens. As long as no one crosses the line, he won't interfere."
Mia listened to my words and became suspicious. She narrowed her eyes as if trying to see some lie in my face and said, "How do you know how he acts, even though you're not his friend?" Damn, I have to stop talking about others like I'm intimate with them... Sighing, I tried to change the subject by saying, "And you? What's your relationship with Kato Miyamoto? Your brother."
In a silence where there were only the two of us, my words echoed in a cold way, one that I had no intention of generating. Her expression became angry, and she replied coldly, "Half-brother! And I don't consider him my brother." I didn't let myself be shaken by her coldness and asked, "What do you consider him, then?" At the same time, without hesitation, she replied, "An adversary, an enemy, an opponent whom I need to defeat. That's what I consider him."
She and I exchanged glances, but not hostile glances, but rather glances that showed determination and confidence in her words. Deciding to end this conversation, I asked, "What time is it?" She relaxed a bit and looked at her phone and replied to me, "It's almost midnight, why?"
"Have you eaten?" I asked, keeping my eyes on hers. She pondered for a few moments, but then replied, "I have eaten." She spoke while trying to hide the snacks under the covers. I saw all this as if I were watching a movie and began to laugh.
Sometimes I forget that even though I'm in another world, people are still the same... Some things are different, that's obvious, but small things like this: 'Trying to hide food so you don't have to share', make me still have a connection to my old world.

Author's note:
This arc won't be incredibly long, as some might think. I'm using it to show how the characters are, their personalities. I believe the beginning is the best way to do this. So, in some chapters, there may only be conversations, while in others, there may be action. It will vary depending on the events.
