Back in London, midnight ensues and the three Queenswomen's service were requested by the Queen for a particular and private discussion.
Hera, Rakshesha and Valkyrie are waiting for the Queen in a company's private penthouse that is owned by her sister, Tristana.
If the Queen seeks private affairs, Tristana offers her lavish and well decorated penthouse for an absolute secrecy because none other are allowed to set foot inside the penthouse except for the Queen and it's owner.
"This discussion must be important to Queen." Hera commented
Rakshesha and Valkyrie didn't respond and they're waiting for the patiently.
"Why seems so quiet?" Hera looked both of them and asked confusedly
Hera giggled
"Oh, you must think we're in deep shit, huh? Nervous enough, eh?" The Queenswoman teased
She was cut short by sudden arrival of the Queen
The three Queenswomen stood and humbly bowed with their one knee on the ground
"Your Majesty." The three greeted the Queen in unison
"You shall arise." Charlotte acknowledged their greetings graciously
The three Queenswomen rose
"Come, sit." Charlotte then offered one of the couch
The four then seated in a comfortable way to open for a discussion
"As a Queen, it is my duty to check the wellness, wellbeing, the strength of heart and mind and the unbounded, the imperishable loyalty of all my Queenswomen and never doubt where it stand and where it is placed for which all of you were greatly rewarded for it because all of you have known no failures."
"But, as of late, I found myself in such pitiful and unforgiving situation where I slightly doubted one of my Queenswoman's loyalty." The Queen has made her introduction.
The three Queenswomen widened their eyes and in disbelief
"But I'm giving myself the benefit of the doubt and I will not act and judge upon my own instincts."
"So, I'm asking you three, my Queenswomen."
"Do you know full well about Izanami?" Charlotte calmly and graciously asked them
The three Queenswomen are in more disbelief but they're not shocked cause they all know what kind of woman Izanami.
"My Queen, we beg you forgiveness." Valkyrie was the one to spoke in front of the highness
"But we may have a little knowledge about Izanami as you." Valkyrie added
"But, there are certain things that Izanami do that we are not fond of, your Majesty." Rakshesha was the second to spoke
"Please, spill." Charlotte calmly ordered with a majestic smile
"She acts on her own, she never likes to disclose things regarding her operations and mission, she's so secretive about her social activities and worst of all, she tends to be closer to Ray Shigeyoshi." Rakshesha spilled
"I have been forced to have eye at her since she's so elusive, mysterious and suspicious all the time." Rakshesha added
"Hmm." The Queen thought of this for a minute
"Do you think you say these such things againts her based on your feelings?" Charlotte calmly asked Rakshesha
"No, my Queen."
Rakshesha denied it
"I based it to the truth and in my opinion those truths are compelling enough to stand your doubt corrected, your Majesty." Rakshesha strongly voiced her opinion
Charlotte thought of this again but with more serious especially the fact that Izanami tends to be like closer to Ray, which means...
She thinks Ray already knows and Risa is communicating indirectly with her son through Izanami.
This made her heart worried
"Does Ray Shigeyoshi ever initiated a conversation with Izanami? If so, do they often talk?" Charlotte asked with a mild shaky voice
"No, you're Majesty." The three Queenswomen denied in unison
"We don't fully know the man, your Majesty, he's elusive, silent and emotionless. He's worse than Izanami." Hera answered
"But once I heard from a witness, your Majesty." Hera spilled
"Explain." This got Charlotte her curiosity peaked
"The witness is from another Queenswoman. She told us, she accidentally witnessed and heard Ray killing a man over some answers that he didn't like. She said Ray was questioning this guy about an unknown location for an unknown reason but he knew the guy's answer didn't satisfy Ray as he saw a devilish and angry look on his face before killing him in cold blood."
"This Queenswoman swore that she never saw the devil in a man until she saw Ray killing that man." Hera shared
Rakshesha giggled
"So, that's why he's being called the Devil in our organization."
Charlotte widened his eyes.
"But back to your question, your Majesty."
"I believed Ray does not initiate a conversation with Izanami since he has no fondness of talking to his colleagues. Though, I do see them sometimes talking to each other, your Majesty." Hera answered her Queen's question
Charlotte didn't utter a word but she's thinking.
If Izanami tells him that she's working for his mother, Ray would've left his Queen and the organization in a heartbeat, fortunately he didn't which means he still doesn't know. Her heart felt an instant relief cause she doesn't to lose Ray, her nephew.
But unfortunately her doubt and questions regarding Izanami's loyalty remain unanswered.
Then the Queen speaks
"I have a mission for you three and this shall be confidential."
