Lucy's House...
Lucy is cooking breakfast for everyone with Rel.
"Mom, what are we going to do if they e?" Rel asked with a scared expression.
"I don't know, Honey, but Miss Jessica will definitely do something and help us," Lucy spoke.
No.300, Mike, and Jess are sitting in the dining room of the house. Mike is reading a newspaper, No.300 and Jess are playing a mind game together.
"Oi, Oi, look at this, Jess." Mike immediately got surprised as he looked at some kind of news and went to Jessica.
"What is it? What are you getting so worked up for?" Jessica immediately asked as she held the newspaper in her hands and read the news that Mike was pointing at.
[We are going to do a Surprise Search in the houses anytime of the day now, Don't get surprised - Says mander Faith.]
As soon as Jessica read the news, her face went pale.
"Yep, this is something Faith would do," Jessica said as she read the news.
"Hmm...? So you mean, she can e in here barging like an animal and search anything she wants, right?" No.300 asked.
"Yes, and she can kill any suspected person at any time too," Jess replied.
"Hmm... That's dangerous," No.300 spoke.
Knock-knock-knock
Suddenly a knock was heard on the door.
"Who is it?" Jess asked Mike.
"Let me check-"
"House check... Please open the door." Before Mike could've replied, a soldier's voice resounded in the house.
"Ah... Shit. Devil's Call." Jessica said as she looked at Mike.
"We should hide..." No.300 advised.
Knock-knock-knock
"Oi, open the door, or we will knock it down." The soldier shouted again.
"Run..."
In just 3 seconds, everyone jumped inside the basement lab that Anon created for them.
Lucy is standing in front of the main door scared and terrified. Her body is vibrating.
"What are you vibrating for?" Jess asked Lucy.
"I-I am just scared of what's going to happen after I open this door," Lucy said as she looked at Jess with a very scared expression.
"Nothing will happen... Just talk to them without any worries, and everything will be fine. Do you understand?" Jessica asked.
"Y-Yes..."
"Good, just remember we all are here to help you," Jess replied as she smiled and jumped into the basement lab.
Outside the house...
"Ma'am... This house seems suspicious. No one is opening the door. Can you e here?" The soldier finally decided to call Faith.
Faith was asking questions to another house's owner.
"Here, take care of this thing for me," Faith ordered another soldier as she gave the notepad to her.
"Yes, Ma'am."
She walked up to Lucy's door and knocked.
Knock-knock-knock
"This is mander Faith, and I am here for a search, Miss... What is her name?" She asked the soldier that was standing beside her.
"Y-Yes, her name is Lucy," the soldier replied immediately.
"Miss Lucy, open the door, or we will break it this time." Faith said in a very loud and manding voice.

The gate started opening slowly...
"Y-Yes...?" Lucy asked as she looked at Faith with a hesitated expression.
"Hmmm...? Wait, the maid Lucy? You are the maid that used to work in the castle, right?" Faith asked.
"Y-Yes... Ma'am," Lucy replied.
"Okay, I will do the search of her house." Faith said as she entered the house.
"Yes, ma'am." The soldier shouted as he went to the other house.
Faith immediately started walking towards the backdoor of the house that was in the kitchen.
She analyzed every room with her sharp eyes and took a sniff from every room.
Due to Mike's spell, she couldn't feel or smell the presence of the ogres.
"So, what do you do now, Lucy?" Faith asked as she looked at lucy and asked with a warm smile.
"I-I... Do house chores for the neighbors and take care of their children until they return back home. Just making enough to pay my daughter's academy fees and barely eating expenses.
My husband got addicted to alcohol and drugs when he got fired from his job as the gate guard. Now he only drinks and asks for money; if I don't give him the money, he will just beat me and snatch the money from me," Lucy said as she looked at Faith and sipped on her tea.
"I am really sorry, Lucy. I never thought that the new Queen will fire you and your husband," Faith apologized as she looked at Lucy with a sad face.
"No worries, ma'am. It wasn't your mistake that my life got destroyed or that my husband started drinking and beating me," Lucy spoke without any delay.
"Are you taunting me?" Faith asked with a smile.
"I-I am sorry, Ma'am," Lucy immediately apologized.
"No, No, it's not your mistake. The royal place really destroyed your family. I couldn't save you, and I am really sorry for that, i tried to save you but the queen didn't listened to me." Faith apologized in return with a sad Expression.
After finishing her tea, Faith stood up and started walking out.
"Here... Have this," Faith spoke as she flipped a platinum coin towards Lucy.
"Ma'am, I-I can't have it." Lucy said as she tried to give the coin back to Faith.
"Just take it as an apology, I will be leaving now. Lucy, just don't have any revenge feelings in your heart. Revenge eats a person alive and i don't want to kill you. Just keep yourself safe from these feelings and your daughter too." Faith said as she walked towards the exit of the kitchen.
"Ma'am... Please e back for the tea anytime," Lucy spoke with a smile.
As soon as Faith heard the word tea... She immediately looked towards the tea cups on the dining table and she noticed something unusual.
"Wait... Why do you have 6 cups of tea here?" Faith asked as she looked at the tray filled with 6 cups of tea.
