In the late afternoon we returned to the mansion that we are noticing in this town and I was saddened by my bad luck.
I had tried that video ga type strategy ga that Karina always won since it didn't seem to depend so much on luck, I managed to do well even though I tried to find what soone next to said was the worst wave of monsters of all the simulations I've ever seen. I had seen it, but just when I thought I had a chance to win, a fight broke out and soone was thrown onto the card table, breaking the reading crystal.
All my effort had been wasted and all the money I'd gambled had been lost, I wanted to take my anger out on the person who caused it all, but it was two drunken Demons fighting that were dragged outside by one of the staff.
After this horrible experience I had to admit that gas weren't made for , maybe I should just use betting as it doesn't depend so much on my luck and other factors depending on what I'm betting on.
When I arrived at the mansion Freya was finishing setting the dinner table while Diana did her best to hold Ibuki who was drooling looking at the dinner table.
Ragnar cos to and says that the Queen will receive at the castle tomorrow morning, she asked just and Vanessa to go this ti, that wouldn't be a problem for .
------------
During the night I stayed on top of the mansion's roof enjoying a beautiful view of the starry sky to cool my head after a day of losses at the Casino.
After a while, the losses in the Casino didn't matter anymore, what I didn't lack was money since I got so much taking from the enemies that I defeated until today, my fortune is similar to that of a small Kingdom, especially since I rembered that the Dungeon had a safe where everything of value that consud was kept.
So losing a little money doesn't an anything to , I was just upset that I missed the gas, but I managed to put it all behind .
What was on my mind will act was the Blood Demons, to tell the truth I care very little about them, the only reason I want to do sothing is because of the Goddess Selene and Vanessa.
Goddess Selene has been helping a lot since I was born, I know she has sothing planned as I am not an idiot, but I also noticed her sincerity when she said she was proud of my achievents several tis, she treated like a son who needed guidance many tis and supported many other tis with my bloodlines, advice and other things.
I have also studied the teachings of the Temple of Blood, so I know that as cruel and brutal as she can be when facing an enemy, she has shown respect to all races, even the race she created herself like the Vampires has the permission to follow her teachings or hate her if they choose, the right to choose her own path.
Even for she didn't tell what I had to do at any ti, I realized that she presented certain options in front of , but she never forced to do anything, the decision was always mine.
That's why I'm willing to help the Blood Demons, but how much I help will depend on what I see in their eyes when I et them, if they've lost their willpower then there's no reason for to strive for them.
Another reason I agreed to do this was Vanessa, I can see the decision in her eyes, even if I refuse to help she will do anything to fulfill the mission the Goddess Selene has given her.
I can't let Vanessa do this alone.

Pov Lilian:
The day after we entered town, I went to a Casino by myself, I've already let Priestess Vanessa feel about what I'm doing, so I don't have to worry too much about future problems.
I enter the Casino and go to the second floor where the gaming tables with high stakes are held, there I find a bald red-skinned Demon, with a slender body, a white beard and eyes full of life.
This Demon was at a ga table with several people with sober faces while he had a happy smile on his face, when he sees looking at him his smile gets bigger and cos to .
"It's been a long ti, my old friend, it's been about 50 years if I'm not mistaken." (Gaspar)
"Good fleece too little Gaspar, to be more precise it's been 59 years since our last eting." (I)
I give this old man a hug as the image of the street kid I once helped overlaps with his current image, so I look at the table behind him at the people who are so depressed they haven't even noticed the old man get up from the table.
"Still stealing money from young people?" (I)
"None of them are young, besides I'm not stealing, it's fair ga to bet, don't bla for underestimating my looks." (Gaspar)
"I see your Casino is doing well, how is the Orphanage?" (I)
"Going well, the last waves of orphans don't know you, but I made a point of telling you so stories." (Gaspar)
"I hope you avoided the embarrassing ones." (I)
"I've been very old, so I don't rember very well." (Gaspar)
"You little..." (I)
I go to another room to talk to Gaspar alone, I trust Gaspar a lot, so I tell him in parts what I have done, I avoid very important or secret topics, but I still briefly describe what I have been doing while he tells about his grandchildren.
"It's about ti you got out of that job, I always said that didn't suit you." (I)
"But it was sothing I chose a long ti ago, and besides, I don't regret what I did." (I)
"You asked to call here, I'm a little curious about what you're up to." (I)
"I'm just an old man, I'm not up to anything..." (Gaspar)
I look at him showing that no matter how much ti passes, he will never be able to deceive .
Sigh
"Fine, as soon as you arrived in town I wanted to see you, but I knew sooner or later you would co to ." (Gaspar)
"But I decided to call you here as soon as possible because your students sent ssages, so were very clear threats of what they would do to if you left town before they arrived." (Gaspar)
"..." (I)
I was very surprised by what Gaspar said, my students were coming here, but they didn't understand how they discovered in this city so quickly.
"All six are coming, should arrive by tomorrow or the next day." (I)
"How are they so close? How did they know I was coming here?" (I)
"You would co to this town at so point, they were supposed to wait for you here until you arrived, but it seems you arrived much faster than they anticipated." (Gaspar)
