Noir and her family sit at the dinning table eating breakfast quietly. They still feel Noir mad at them and just waiting for her to speak. Noir gaze toward Raven and Frost that sitting in front of her as she didn't approve their action of following her back here. Raven and Frost on the other hand tried to avoid her gaze and just look at their foods.

"I'm going out. We talk about this later. You two come with me." she pointed toward Raven and Frost to follow her out. Both of them nod and trail her from behind.

"She's more scary than you." Lapis sighed toward his wife.

"At least we stop fighting for nonsense reason. I never know her power is already at that level. I'm afraid they found her, dear." Jade concerned.

"We will protect her. She's the only Dualist and Untamed in our family. She inherit both of our power."Lapis said.

****************************************************************************

Noir walking around aimlessly without talking to both Raven and Frost. Both of them just follow Noir wherever she goes. The truth is Noir using them for her to get information around the town regarding Black Serpent while making her looks like giving tour to both of them. Luckily, she did gain a few information and stop at the cafe near the fountain to have some lunch. The three of them quietly eating lunch when Gris and the other three Noir childhood friends come greet them. They decides to sits at the fountain hut and thinking more idea to solve Noir problem.

"I don't think all of your suggestions can help her. I think my idea yesterday much better." Gris said.

"Where did you gonna find that kind of guy? Noble won't come to this small town." Ciano said making Raven interested.

"What idea?" He asked after both him and Frost just stay silent listening to his sister's friend idea.

"Marrying a higher status man than Celeste father, the Baron of Epiphyllum Town." Oliva replied.

"Where we can find a guy like that?" Frost interrupted.

"If we can find a royalty, that's much better." Vino jokes earning a glare from Oliva.

"A royal blood?" Noir suddenly realised. She look at Raven and Raven also understand Noir gaze toward him. Both of them looks at Frost making him feel uneasy. A smirks crave on both of the siblings face.

"What is it?" Frost feels uncomfortable from both of their gaze.

"Are you sure, sis?" Raven asked earning a puzzled from all of Noir friends and Frost.

"Yes. But if come to worst I run away with mom even dad can't stop me." Noir determined. 

"Fine. Where should we find him?" Raven said. 

"Who's your talking about?" Vino asked. Gris and Frost also wonder while Oliva and Ciano look toward the crowd and saw someone. 

"He's the one we bumped into yesterday. Where the other guy?" Oliva said to Ciano. 

"What guy?" Gris asked as he also look toward the crowd. He saw a guy looking at the fruits stall and asking the vendor about the price.

"He's an outsider. What about that guy?" Gris asked again. 

"Yesterday, when we split up to find Noir, both of us bumped into that guy with his friend. I think they new here." Ciano replied. 

"What you all talking about?" Earning a puzzled from Noir. 

"That guy over there." Oliva point toward the guy she mention of. Noir widen her eyes. A smile plaster on her face. 

"That's Nero." Frost said. 

"Raven, Frost, go kidnap him and bring him here." Noir ordered. Frost look at Noir and reliase Noir crazy plan. 

"Are you sure, sister Noir? You won't regret it, are you?" Frost asked.

"Do you want me be part of your family or not? Bring Nero here and we execute this plan tonight." Noir answered. 

"He's gonna kill me." Frost sighed. 

"Don't worry, I will protect you. Trust me. You two go now." Noir said earing a puzzled from her childhood friends. 

"Yes, ma'am!" Raven and Frost said in unison. 

Meanwhile...

"Noir, what your plan really?" Gris asked after Raven and Frost run toward the crowd to capture Nero. 

"Well, I will getting married tonight." Noir replied making her four friends shocked. 

"If I'm married, Celeste cannot propose to me and they cannot touch my family either." Noir said making her friends dumbfounded. 

"Gris, Oliva, Ciano, Vino ask your father to come to my place tonight. Tell them I want them to be our witness in discussing the marriage proposal from Celeste. If your mom want to join, it is much better. Gris your dad a solemnizer, bring his working thing to my place without him notice." Noir explained her plan.

" You serious want to marry that guy? The one you ask your brother and his friend to kidnap?" Ciano asked to confirm.

"Not him but the other guy with him. Both of you meet him yesterday, right?" Noir replied making Oliva widen her eyes.

"You mean that handsome tall guy?! You know him are you, Noir?" Oliva surprised.

"Yes. That's why I choose him." Noir said with a blush on her face.

"I never know our she-devil can falling in love. That's guy really is crazy one." Gris said earning a slap from Noir on his forearm.

Raven and Frost drag Nero side by side towards Noir and her friends. Frost smile happily when he know Noir want to marry his brother after Raven explain more about his sister crazy plan. Nero feeling uneasy when he saw the two of them smile brightly. Then three of them stop in front of Noir while Raven and Frost release their grip from Nero arms.

"Lady Noir? What really happen here?" Nero feels more uneasy when he saw Noir smile widely to him.

"Good job you two for kidnap Nero for me. You two go tell Mint and Winter about my plan and keep it secret from mom and dad." Noir ordered and both of them nod agreed with her plan.

"Lady Noir? What's going on here?" Nero become more alert.

"I need your cooperation, Nero. Become my victim and tell Luz to come rescue you." Noir said making Nero shocked.

"But why? Do you want to hurt mylord again?" Nero said disagreed with Noir.

"No, I want to marry him. Tonight." Noir confessed making Nero dumbfounded.

"What?! That's crazy. He won't agree." Nero said.

"Nero this is my last chance. Either we marry tonight or all of you won't see me again in this kingdom. The Baron will kick my mom out from here and if you ask me, I will choose to go with my mom. Not even my dad, my siblings and the Alliance can stop me." Noir clarified.

"Why your mom will be kick out?" Nero wondered.

"She is from Dark Kingdom, Nero. Just like you." Noir replied making Nero widen his eyes.

"You know?" Nero surprised.

"I saw you using dark power the other day. You won't use it unless your master in danger or you need to use it, right? That's why you prefer to use sword rather than your power." Noir replied. Nero look down with guilty.

"How long that you already know?" Nero asked with low tone.

"From the first day you come to my mansion." Noir replied. Nero sighed.

"Fine. Are you sure you can make my master happy?" Nero said.

"If he let me." Noir determined.

"Alright mylady, what your plan?" Nero asked while Noir smirked.

Noir told her plan to Nero and her other four friends. They all listen and sometimes add some idea to her plan.

"I bring the ring tonight. Do you know what size he use?" Ciano asked.

"Better you bring the one that adjustable." Noir said.

"Fine, I will find something good from my mom jewellery store." Ciano replied.

"Just charge to my card." Noir added.

"Alright, girl." Ciano thumbs up.
