Luz waking up and found out there's a blanket over his body. He looks around and didn't see anyone in the room. The morning light shine into the room which making Luz amaze to see how neat and spacious Noir room was. He folds the blanket and puts it on the table. He walks out from the room and return back to his own room to get ready for work. Upon finish getting dress up, he walks down toward the dining table and saw Noir and Scarlet eating breakfast together while the Rosa and Lumiere chatting at the living room.

"Morning." Luz greeted Scarlet and Noir.

"Morning." Both of them greeted back. Luz looks at Noir.

"Are you feeling better now?" He asked with concern.

"Yes, thank you and sorry for making you worry." Noir thanked him. 

"How about you take a few days leave. Get better rest and go to Rose City to meet your sworn brother's family." Luz said while eating his breakfast. 

"I will take some leave but I don't think I go there. I don't think I can hold myself." Noir smiled and Luz notice that her smile is a sad smile. 

"Alright then. I give you three-day leave. I hope when you come back to work, you can give your best." Luz said. Noir thanks him. 

Mica walks toward them in hurry making the three of them stop eating. 

"Luz, there someone want to see you." Mica said. Luz wondered.

"How many people?" Luz asked. 

"Two." Mica replied. 

"Let them in and tell them to wait at the living room, Mica." Noir said. Mica nod and went back toward the front door. 

The three of them walk toward the living room and saw a guy in noble attire and another guy standing beside the guy with casual attire. Noir sits at the single sofa chair while Luz taking his seat besides Noir at another single sofa chair. Scarlet sitting beside Lumiere that already at the living room from the start. The guy that standing looks at Noir with puzzled. Both Noir and Luz look like the master of this mansion to him. 

"Greeting, little brother." the guy said. 

"Brother Lux, Nero what both of you doing here?" Luz asked.

"Visiting you. Nero come to deliver your horse so, I tag along. Nice place you have here." Lux replied. He look around and Noir sitting beside Luz caught his attention.

"Good day, my lady. Such a beautiful girl you are. May I know your name?" Lux added.

"Who is he?" Noir looking at Luz with annoy. Scarlet covered her smile with her hand. 

"My lady, my name is Lux Rubeus. Luz second brother. I work at the palace as the chancellor assistance helping our king uncle. I am really honour to meet such beautiful lady like you." Lux said while Noir role her eyes. Nero notice how irritate Noir is with Lux. 

"King uncle? Are you royal or what?" Noir asked. 

"Luz, you didn't tell her? Our father is the youngest brother of King Zois. While Aunt Scarlet is the youngest sister of King Zois." Lux explained. Noir widened her eyes. Rosa also widened her eyes because she didn't know Luz real identity.

"You knew it, Rosa?" Noir looked at her. 

"I am surprised as you are." Rosa confessed making Noir believe her word. 

"So, you're a royal." Noir stated.

"My lady, you should be honour to live with royalty member like us in this mansion. We usually didn't allow any commoner living at the same luxury mansion as this. You should be lucky Luz letting you live in his mansion." Lux said with proud which tick Noir anger. 

"You're Nero, right?" Noir look at Nero. Nero nodded.

"Are you, his attendant?" Noir asked again.

"No, my lady. I am Luz's attendant." Nero answered. 

Noir walk toward the front door and open it wide. Three people waiting outside in Alliance attire. Noir smiles toward them. she looks again at Lux. 

"It seems that our Lord Lux aren't comfortable with this mansion. I suggest that Imperial Grand Hotel are more suitable with you taste. Thank you for visiting this mansion." Noir said loudly. 

"Are you kicking me out from my own brother's mansion?" Lux feel angry as Noir didn't sway by his word. Most women will try to get close to him as he has a royal status but Noir rejecting him. 

"For the record, my lord, this mansion does not belong to your brother. This mansion belongs to me, a humble commoner woman." Noir spoke earning a shock to all that hear it.

"Luz, is that true?" Lux asked Luz earning a nod from him. 

"How come you become so low like this. Are you try to disgrace our father?" Lux said angrily. Luz just stays silent.

"If you have done, my lord, I hope you have a safe journey to the hotel. Those three already waiting long enough out there." Noir said. Lux stand up and walk toward the door angrily as Noir politely kicking him out from the mansion. 

"Nero, let's go." Lux said. Nero want to trail behind but he being stop by Noir. 

"If I not mistaken, he isn't your attendant, right? So, you don't have any authority to order him around. Nero, you stay with Luz." Noir said.

"You...! You two slap her. She is disrespecting me." Lux ordered two members of Alliance with him.

The two members froze up to see Noir. A chill run up on their body. The other one seems to be the leader of the two members also stood silently. He really knew well Noir identity and sighed heavily. The two members suddenly on their knee toward their leader. 

"Captain, just punish us. We don't want anything to do with the she-devil." both of them begged earning a puzzle from Lux. The leader sighed. 

"Lord Lux, I don't think you can live here. You have appointment with Miss Page tonight, and we can simply punish her because she is one of the Alliance's members. She is working under Captain Cloud. Luz is her superior." The leader said making Lux widen his eyes. 

"Fine. I don't want to get the bad side of that man. We shall go now." Lux just give up after hearing Captain Cloud name. The leader escort him into the carriage and they out from the mansion. 

The behaviour of three Alliance member's caught Luz attention. He walks toward the door and stand beside Noir. 

"What did you do to them, Noir?" Luz asked. 

"It just an old story." Noir just replied shortly. Luz sighed. He did hear about the she-devil side of Noir from others, but he never thought someone will be afraid of her like that. 

"Let me introduce to you. This is Nero Selenite, my attendant and my personnel bodyguard. Nero this is Noir Esmeralda, owner of this mansion and that is Rosa Perla, my friend and also a colleague where I work at." Luz introduce Nero to everyone. Nero bow a little and introduce himself. 

"He can take the other guest room beside the dining room. You will be responsible for him as he is your attendant." Noir said while Luz agrees.

Afterward, Noir going back to her room to get some rest while Luz going out prepare to go to work. Nero hand him his horse and Luz jump onto his horse.

"My lord, sorry if I'm rude asking this from you. But who is lady Noir to you?" Nero asked. Luz look at his trusted attendant with a smile on his face. 

"She is my queen." Luz answered and leaving Nero gawked with his word.
