{Author: From the end of the first arc, Grey has been putting false airs on to create this playful atmosphere, Rarely letting anyone beyond the curtain of what's going on through his mind, he masks his grief and sadness around a playful facade. 

I had to mention it just to make sure I and my readers are on the same page lol} 

"Are we packed?" asked the man with a straight mustache, his name was Ortwin. Being a merchant, he helped the church in gathering their resources and drugs. 

The drug is proven to be quite addictive and it is a great substance for brainwashing if consumed at regular intervals. The church used these drugs to brainwash people and this merchant was one of the people that supplied those drugs. 

"Yes." answered her wife, who held a bag in her hand. 

"Good, we are leaving this place as soon as possible." said the merchant, as he grabbed the bag. Opening the bag, he cross-checked the contents "My eyes never get tired of seeing this gold. It was the best decision to make a deal with the church, they do pay some heavy amount of money."

"But there is no guarantee that they will catch us, there should be no evidence." said his wife. 

They were running out of the city, and also running out of the kingdom, because the duke of Chipworth town has issued a hunt for all the accomplices of the hanging church incident. 

In the incident where around a hundred dead bodies were found in the church, there were no churchmen on the scene. They have fled even before the awakening of the divine fetus, they didn't wanted their life force getting sucked by the divine fetus. 

As all the different churches of all the different gods are working together, they are hiding among other churches. 

The duke was assisted by the head of the Colmoor city, the Barca family. Since it is the neighboring city of Chipworth town, the possibility of finding evidence and accomplices is high. 

Being cautious, the merchant decided to run away. He couldn't afford to be caught, he had enough money to run away from the kingdom and live his life in absolute luxury. 

"We can live in another kingdom in peace. With all this money, we can live however we want." said the merchant as he busted into vile laughter. 

Letting out a sigh, his wife said "I wish we could sell more of those drugs.", she proceeded to walk to the hall from the bedroom grabbing the bag.

"I know right!! we could have made so much more money, those Gefall nation bastards love those drugs." said the merchant as wrapped his hands around his wife's body. 

"They love those drugs enough to hang themselves." said the wife, snickering under her breath. 

Walking out of the bedroom, they entered the hall. "Dark humor, eh?" asked the merchant appreciating his wife's humor. 

"Dark humor? I fancy some dark humor too, mind sharing it with me?" asked the certain young man who was seated in the hall. 

The hall was lit with candles, but the candle was placed right beside the cupboard. So the shadow of the cupboard hid the young man's face. 

The thing was that the young man was an uninvited guest. 

"Who--- who are you?!!!" shouted the merchant, he took a step back cautiously. 

"Oh, me? I am here because I wanted to kidnap you." said the young man with a cheeky smile on his face. 

"Why--- why would you do something like that? I -- I am backed by the Demis church, you don't want to mess with me."

The merchant had many enemies from the past, so he thought perhaps mentioning Demis church would scare the person away. 

"You really want to mention them? I mean I am chasing them myself, if they come here themselves then it's convenient for me. But---- yeah, I would have to kidnap you, since I need to know where the church is hiding." 

The young boy leaned in closer, the light of the candle flashed on his face, revealing his face. The boy had pale skin, white straight hair, and beautiful purple-indigo eyes.

The boy clapped his hands together, with a wink he said, "You will help me right?" 

The boy was Grey...

The woman, his wife stepped further as she said "You don't know who you are messing with, just run away while you can boy."

The woman threatened Grey, to which Grey turned to face another man who was blocking the door. 

"Oi, White robe, kill this woman, we don't need her." 

To which the man who was wearing the white robe answered, "As per your wish, master."

The man raised his blade, as he proceeded to walk towards the woman. The woman stepped back, later she turned away in an attempt to flee away. But the man threw his heavy blade which pierced through her, later stabbing into the wall.

The blade was stuck to the wall with the woman's body in between. At first, she struggled to get herself free, but later her body lost strength as her vital organs stopped working. 

The man in a white robe was a former churchman, the one that grey had tortured. His name is Emeric. He swore absolute loyalty to Grey after that incident, his twisted loyalty for Grey goes beyond anything imaginable.

He would probably kill himself if Grey instructed him to do it.

Grey got up from his chair as he proceeded to walk towards the door, turning towards Emric he spoke "Capture that man and extract any information you possibly can. You are free to use any method, but I want every information about the drugs. Compile it with the information that you have told me about the church and later give that information to me. Understood?"

"My master!!! I would not disappoint you!! if you wish to gain the information, then I will retrieve it for you. Leave everything to this lowly servant." 

Emric kneeled as buried his head in the ground in front of Grey. His exaggerated loyal words were accompanied by exaggerated gestures. 

"Very well, then don't disappoint me," said Grey as he walked away. 

"Ah!!! he is so beautiful!!! with each minute I understand the beauty of master Grey!!!" 

Grey was heading towards a particular that was set to be held today. It has been five days since the church incident and he has twenty-five more days to revive Illya. 

Today was the first official meeting that will signify the foundation of the underworld organization that will be known as Celestia. All members are instructed to gather at this meeting as they will decide the position of each member.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Grey was seated in a conference room. he was seated in the corner of the room, not on the round table. 

The round table seats were filled, each occupied by a leader of each corps. There are around ten corps in Celestia with two thousand members in each corps. 

In total, Celestia currently has around twenty thousand members of right now. 

Today was the first official meeting of the Celestia, that was going to be held at the very conference that Grey was seated on. This meeting was only for the leader of ten corps to attend, but for some reason, Grey was invited to this meeting. 

The only person he has met was Hina and Rin, he doesn't have an acquaintance with any of the other Celestia members. 

There were currently five corp leaders present at the round table. 

Later they were joined by the sixth corp leader, He stepped into the conference room. Due to his buff figure and tall stature he was barely able to pass through the conference room door. 

The man had a thick prominent mane around his neck, over his head he had round ears, and from his back emerged a tail with a hairy tuft. The man was a beast person who bore a close resemblance to a lion.

The beast-man entered the room, with a loud roar he greeted everyone, "Hello my friends!!!."

To which everyone greeted him back, with a nod. The beast-man walked up to his chair, pulling his chair back, he got ready to be seated. 

But before he was going to seat, he noticed Grey. Pointing his finger towards Grey, the lion shouted "Are you part of Celestia?"

Grey replied with a simple "Yes, I am planning to join." 

The lion wrapped his hand around Grey as he said, well it would be better to say that he shouted, "Very well then, you are now part of my Pride!!" 

{A family or pack of lions is called 'Pride'}

'Eh? I nearly thought he would ridicule me or something..' thought Grey.

With an awkward smile, Grey spoke, "Nice to meet you, I am Grey." 

"Grey? a wonderful name indeed. My name is Kiara Ari. Nice to meet you human." said the lion as he went back to take his seat.

'Ari? interesting.'

the thing that Grey had found interesting was the Ari was a prominent family in Artemis kingdom, which is also known as the beast kingdom.
