After saying goodbye to the others at the Hotel I made my way downtown, though as I didn't feel like attracting attention along the way I decided to use some magic to make your average Sinner not notice who I am as I made my way to my destination.
Luckily I makes everyone just ignore my presence and not make it so any of the muggers one would see on the street would see me as an easy mark and so after about twenty minutes of walking I finally came upon my destination.
"Retna verification required for entry." The backdoor to the factory/personal Villa asked me which I did letting it scan my eye before I pulled back.
"Welcome back Lord Cain." It said before opening the way to let me in to the building.
Soon I was in the factory where I saw the angelic weapons being changed into other weapons or being turned into bullets for the various guns that were being manufactured.
None of the workers noticed me as they continued making the weapons, and besides Carmilla, Odette and Clara these workers don't know what there making is made with angelic steel, though of course normal hell steel is used for most things as there were seperate weapon lines and ammo presses for normal weapons/bullets and Angelic weapons/bullets.
I just nod while seeing this before walking on towards the elevators and heading up to the upper levels which were the Carmines living areas.
"Oh where oh where could that lovely woman be?" I mutter to myself as I walk through the halls of these upper floors.
"Let me guess, in her office as always?" I say heading for Carmilla's personal office, and low and behold I enter her office and see her at desk, going through paperwork and working on her computer.
"I thought so, as serious as always." I say as I come in while she just looks up from her desk for a second before going back to her paper work.
"Cain, it's been awhile." She didn't act at all surprised I was here, but it's most likely she was notified of my arrival as I went on in and stood by her desk and overlooked the city for awhile before turning back towards her.
"Yes it has, sorry for my absence for the past year, you must have been missing me dearly and wondering where ever did I go?" I say with a dramatic flair waiting for her default response.
"Not really." She said while she kept writing as I just held my head and sighed.
"Of course you would say that, it's so like you." I say before conjuring up two cups, one coffee for me and for her earl grey black tea before I sit at the chairs opposite her desk.
She looks at it before sighing and drinking it, "You only bring something out like this when you want to talk something relatively serious." She says as she knows my habits when it comes to our conversations and me bringing out one of her favorite teas means I'm going to talk about something important.
"And that's one of the many things I've come to love about you over the years Carmen." I say her true name which makes her squint her eyes as I said her true name.
"…. This is about the angel incident isn't it?" She said getting right to the point as I drank my coffee before I sighed as I looked at her with a somewhat sad look.
"Yes…. Why didn't you tell me you were caught outside during the extermination? If I had known then you would have needed to get your hands dirty with those disgusting creatures blood." I say with a very clear disdain for heaven, the exorcists and angels in general.
"No, because you just want a good reason to go on a war path." She says standing from her desk to look towards me with a squint in her eyes.
"So what? I don't have the right to protect the woman and her daughters who I hold close to my heart?" I say as I stand up and approach her desk as I stare her down face to face.
"Not if it brings more unnecessary danger to my daughters!" She shouts back
"And you think that I, Hells Supreme Overlord, Grand Commander of the Death Legions, and a man who has slayed countless angels in my entire life, can't keep both you and them safe even if war did come to our doorstep?!"
"You just want to kill angels just to satiate your own bloodlust and you and I both know that!" (Carmilla)
"No! It's been more than ten thousand years since I had free reign to kill angels, the only times I have fought back in that time is less times than there are fingers on one of my hands! If I really was as bloodthirsty as you believe I am then I would have been up here during every! Fucking! Extermination! Disguising myself as some random ass demon to have them attack me with them not knowing it's me just so I can kill to my hearts content, but you know I don't do that! I've had centuries, millennia even! To calm myself down and be rational about all of this, but I have every fucking right to protect you! To protect your daughters! Cause even if you don't see it that way anymore because of all the shit I do while I'm away, I genuinely do love you and I care for your daughters as well, so you not telling me that you are in danger…." I say as I grit my teeth in anger as I remember something that makes me absolutely despise heaven, the exorcists, angels and especially my father.
She sees the look on my face, and realized she said to much before lowering her head, "…. I'm sorry, I was wrong, and your right I should have called you when I realized what was happening at the time but…." She says but I go to the other side of her desk as I held her shoulders and smiled ever so slightly as I pushed those sad distant memories to the back of my mind.
"No, there's no need to apologize, you did right by doing everything you could to protect them, and while I wished you told me I know in stressful moments like that, split second decision can me the difference between life and death, I'm just glad that you and them are okay." I said as I pulled her close and held her head against my chest.
"Heh, do you remember when we first met?" I asked which made her chuckle.
"You mean the last time you ever went out of your way to kill the angels during an extermination, and the day I found out angelic weapons can kill other angels…." She reminisced as we both remembered our past.
*Flashback*
300 years ago.
"Oho you bitches really fucked up now!" I shouted out enraged at feeling the burning sensation of an angelic spear piercing my shoulder as I ripped it out for all of them to see.
I then spun it around rapidly before chucking it back at full force towards the angels which it speared right through three of them before pinning them up against a wall.
"You fucking morons! What the fuck did I say to you bitches?!?! Your not supposed to attack him no matter what! Fuck! Fall back! Fall back!" Adam shouted out over the comms after seeing Cain get involved in this extermination and with him here it was all but a bust now.
So hearing that the angels began to flee while I ripped apart the stragglers before they all ran back to heaven with their tails between their legs.
"Ow, this shit still stings." I mutter while letting my corrupting darkness sew the wound shut as I put my blades away while I look at the scattered bodies all around me of angels and demons.
"Haaa…. Someday heaven will have hell to pay for all of this." I mutter as I approached the speared and dead angels before pulling out the spear from their bodies while letting their bodies fall before a corrupting substance comes out from near my feet before devouring the bodies in there entirety.
I was planning to leave the area and go home, but then I heard a groan of pain nearby which made me turn to see a woman with long white/black hair leaning up against a wall with a large gash across her stomach.
"Your still alive?" I say surprised that someone was only injured by an exorcist instead of outright killed.
"Heh *Cough Cough* they just wave those spears and blades with no real coordination, but even if several children are waving sharp objects around, someone's bound to get hurt it seems." She says as blood comes out from her mouth as I kneel down in front of her as I look the wounds over.
"You won't die, but without any help of a higher caliber, your body will forever be wracked with constant pain as it will take centuries for this to fully heal." I mutter before I hold out my hand as the wound mended itself before her very eyes before completely closing while leaving only a scar that left a large white gash on her stomach.
*End Flashback*
"And not long after we made a mutually beneficial contract and soon the name Carmilla Carmine was known far and wide as Hells greatest Weapons Dealer, well that contract is gone now after we decided to become an item…. Even if our relationship over the years hasn't been the greatest." I say pulling away as I feel bad for what I have done, even if Carmilla doesn't outright hate me for my lustful nature.
After all in the several hundred years we have been together we have done the deed less than the number of fingers on both my hands along with that it was an open relationship that we have even if she has never had any interest in other men than me.
"That doesn't matter much to me, when I was alive the nobility had mistresses all the time compared to the main wife one would have, you being with other women has and will never mean anything to me." She said as she raised her hand and held it up against the side of my face as I hold her hand in place.
"It's…. Hard you know? Your the only sinner I've had a relationship in several millennia as…. Every other one I ever had was hunted down during the exterminations with the soul purpose of enraging me, Carmen I honestly want to be a better man for you and be the father your daughters never had, even if they aren't your own real flesh and blood." I say as I open up to her a bit as I hold her close while I lean my head up against hers.
"I know…. But we have time, time to make things right, or to leave them the way they are, the choice is ultimately yours." She said as she leaned into my embrace.
"…. Do you mind if I just enjoy spending my day with you?" I ask which gets a chuckle from her in response.
"I'd like that very much." She said as she looked up at me and me at her before I leaned in and took her lips.
All the while her daughters peered through the door before smiling and leaving us to spend some quality time together.

300ps hit nice going guys! Next chapter will be out at 350ps or when the next week starts up then it's only 50ps.
And yes I will develop more of the backstory of their relationship and develop there relationship more as well even though romance isn't that much of a focus in this story, and Verosika at the moment doesn't count and is still considered a lust based relationship and hasn't become a serious thing in Cains eyes as of yet even if they do have a child between one another.
