...
Each and every one of them had their hair cut off, some of them were curled in balls after being stripped of all of their clothes.
”Awful..these maids....they're all disgusting” Ivery balled her hands into fists
”They all are...every single one of them..” Luther looked all around him and saw all of the crying children chained up
”This has to be stopped..” Ivery looked at Luther
”Then what shall we do about this?” Luther waited for her to speak
”.....” Ivery looked at him
”I...can't do anything right now...since this wasn't the objective for coming back here, right now my status as Crown Princess is inactive so what I can do at the moment isn't much....” Ivery looked down at the ground
”If I were to free them all....where could I possibly take them without making a mess of everything?” Ivery clutched her black dress in her hands in deep frustration
”They'll be free soon...I assure you, as soon as Xia and the person helping her is dealt with” Luther grabbed her hand and held it tightly, giving her his reassurance
Ivery nodded with her head held down, she felt extremely upset that she couldn't do anything for them right now...

Ivery laid down face first on her bed, sulking and basking in her failure and incompetence.
Luther sat next to her, gently consoling her as he rubbed her back.
”Luther!” Ivery's eyes widened and her head lifted as she just remembered something important
”What's wrong?” He looked at her with confusion
”Goddess Hecate told me who's aiding Xia” Ivery said as she sat up with a stern look on her face
”Who is it?” He asked, wondering why it took her so long to tell him
”A fallen God called, Eos” Ivery told him
”Eos? Fallen God?” Luther's expression displayed a bit of surprise
”She wants revenge on Hades and Hecate and she's using Xia as a way to get try to get rid of us since we are connected to both of them” Ivery said
”Because Xia has a grudge against us?” Luther asked
”Yes” Ivery nodded
”But wouldn't that mean Xia's kind of like us...favored by a God...but not exactly an infinite attribute holder but possesses powers from a God?” Ivery asked
”This God and Xia have something in common...it's most likely the reason that she's so taken to Xia” Ivery said to him
”And that something in common is?” He raised an eyebrow
”Both of them were cast aside because of another woman, by the one they deeply loved....and that same woman stole everything they've ever wanted” Ivery concluded and shared it with Luther
”You and Hecate are 'the' women, and Hades and I are the ones who cast those two aside because of the two of you, correct?” Luther put the pieces together and it all suddenly made a lot of sense to him
”Correct, I stole and have everything Xia had and wanted, including you” Ivery lightly tapped his chest
”That's not true, you stole nothing that was hers...you simply just claimed what was always yours from the start, including me” Luther reached his hand out to her and caressed her soft cheek
”Luther...” The frustration in Ivery's eyes subsided and was replaced with the glister of undying love
”I'm serious” His smile caused her heart to throb

”We still don't know what Xia's capable of now..” She said
”I know, I suppose it's best not to underestimate her now” Luther shrugged
