The girls saw Daimon returning alone and they were naturally curious about what happened, especially Cassy who seemed to be worried about Jasmine.
Cassy was older than Jasmine and technically the tree of them became friends at the same time, Sylvie didn't marry nor had children unlike Jessica and Bell, so she didn't have a daughter that could get along with Jasmine.
But Underwood's wife was also Aurora's disciple, despite the fact that she isn't a light affinity user, so it was natural for the little girls to meet and get along.
Cassy didn't know Sarah's backstory but she one day just suddenly distanced herself from them, and then started avoiding them and just observing from afar, Jasmine might not remember but she does.
Then it became obvious Purplehaze was obsessed with Jasmine and Cassy naturally thought it was related to that, so she started to dislike Sarah, it appears that the misunderstanding affected both the old and young generations, but now things will be different.
"You can go too", said Daimon to Cassy, on his way out, Aurora sent him a message, she didn't want to see another trio of sisters separate, instead she wanted her granddaughter to have all the support she needed.
"Mm", Cassy gave Daimon a thankful gaze and then she left, as for Daimon he sat on the couch where Aisha and the Risha sisters were resting.
Aisha leaned her head against Daimon's shoulder, she could notice her son was a bit distracted, he wasn't wearing the mask too.
"What happened, you seem to be lost about something?", she asked.
Daimon smiled at his mother and then leaned backwards on the couch, who knows how many years has the ones behind the current chaotic situation, been plotting, Mellie and Jasmine seemed to be tightly related to this.
Originally, he thought the mission only included Mellie and Jasmine was only added due of the oath thing, because the mission didn't update its requirements when he saved her.
But now he has changed his mind, both of their mothers died, both of them were princesses and both of them were targeted by the pirates and the Skelefiends that were working with the scheming guy, it was too much to be a coincidence.
'There is a missing piece, I'm lacking something that has been preventing the mission to be updated', he thought.
The missions are triggered based on an event, he got this one because he stole the opportunity to meet Mellie first from Adam, then Adam targeted Jasmine, could be because she is pretty, or maybe because she has two Maximum Stellar ranked as her grandparents or…
"The mission was replaced because I interfered", he mumbled, reaching a realization Daimon's eyes glowed.
Him stealing an opportunity from Adam can also be an event, he probably triggered a different mission for the light idiot, in other words he changed Adam's "fate", as he was supposed to meet Mellie.
But due to him he lost that, so the next mission that could benefit him was probably created, and that was Jasmine, he didn't know what the criteria for the order of the "opportunities" was, but when he stole one from Adam his system just switched to next one.
Luckily it seems that Adam and the administrator of his system couldn't notice the change, and now Daimon realized he was forgetting one more variant in the equation, which is Marcus.
If Adam got his mission changed, the same probably applied to Marcus, because those two are related in a sense, as they seemed to know each other for a while, probably because their systems were on two different sides, one was focused on light and the other on darkness.
Ultimately Daimon shrugged, he will be going to the Bone Sea where he supposed that Marcus landed, so there is a chance that finding something related to Marcus will make his mission update, so there is no need to think about it for now.
Daimon woke up from his daze when he felt a dangerous sensation coming at him, he moved his body to the left a bit, and Sarah who tried to sneak on him from his back, with the intention of hugging him, lost her balance and fell frontwards landing on the floor in front of the couch.
One would believe that will make the purple haired girl feel embarrassed, but instead of that she stood up, dusted off her clothes and then jumped onto the couch trying to land on Daimon's lap.
But then she froze on the air, before a pair of voices could be heard coming from the corridor that led to the guest room.
"See I told you we shouldn't let that crazy girl leave before us with the excuse of going to the bathroom", said Cassy.
"Don't be so mean Cass… Sarah is just a bit too energetic but she means no harm", mumbled Jasmine, trying to sound convincing though she seemed to not believe her own words.
Jasmine followed by Aurora and the others returned to the living room, it was Aurora the one who restrained Sarah.
Speaking of Sarah, now that Jasmine was here, she clicked her tongue and with an unwilling expression, she forced her desire to hold onto Daimon to leave her expression, apparently Jasmine's presence forced her to act normal, for a reason Daimon didn't understand.
Only then Aurora sighed and let go of Sarah, while she gave Daimon an apologetic gaze, specially because of what she was about to say.
"Let's have a nice dinner together before Bell leaves to organize those guys… also they will both be staying here and they'll come with us to the Bone Sea".
As expected, Daimon had a "Are you kidding me" expression on his face, though he knew this was probably going to happen, because those two needed to be cured, he thought Aurora will leave them here to guard the fort, but apparently Sylvie offered herself to take that role, because Bell hasn't even showed her face to Jasmine prior to this day, despite she being the one who helped Jessica chose her name when she had yet to come to the world.
"Just keep her chained in another room or something", said Daimon as he pointed at Sarah, which made Aurora and Bell bitterly smile while Cassy completely agreed with Daimon and Jasmine softly giggled.
"Don't worry with me here she won't do anything… can she go with us, Daimon?", asked Jasmine with expectant eyes.
Daimon truly wanted to say no, but seeing those eyes of hers, it was hard to do so, on the other hand it is true he had some pending matters with Sarah, despite her craziness, she was able to see through Adam's tricks and he was really interested in that.
'Let her come darling, I don't know what you discussed earlier but Jasmine really seems to want her to join, and that purple haired girl isn't weaker than Mellie, it's a good addition to the team', said Aisha directly to Daimon's mind.
Daimon didn't expect Aisha to support Jasmine's idea, because unlike the sisters, she should have noticed Sarah's true intention, she didn't want to attack him but to hug him.
"Fine, just put a leash on her or something", said Daimon, which made Jasmine sweetly smile at him, ignoring Sarah who seemed to be delighted by Daimon's words, the group went to the kitchen and enjoyed a nice dinner together.
Jasmine took the chance to tell the other girls everything regarding her mother, how Bell and Sarah had been protecting her from the shadows and even the fact that it was her own father who turned out to be a Nethereal the one who killed her mother.
Needless to say. but the girls were surprised by Jasmine's story, they all fathered around her to comfort her, Mellie specially since she went through something similar in the sense that her father participated in her mother's death.
The girls were also more welcoming towards Sarah after listening to that story, at least for a couple of minutes until they saw her, drooling every time she stole a gaze at Daimon, which made them realize she was a bit messed up in the head, but they were truly happy that Jasmine's family was reunited again.
After that Bell and Sylvie left together, since Sylvie will be taking up the role of supervising the underworld of the Elemental Sea while Bell is gone, she needed to learn a few things, also the assassins will be led by Sylvie temporarily, and she was also eager to get every bit of information the old assassin had, since she learned that Bell had only around year of life due to the curse, she just recovered her sister, and she isn't willing to lose her again.
It was quite a long day, so Daimon and the others went straight to Jasmine's room to sleep, Aurora was also tired so after saying goodnight she went to her own room, leaving Daimon to deal with Sarah.
Naturally she was also invited to stay in Jasmine's room, and it easy to see what was in her mind the moment she saw Daimon's bed, luckily even if she didn't listen to her mother or even Aurora, she listened to Jasmine and so she stayed in Jasmine's bed along with Cassy, who had no way but to accept that the crazy girl will be involved with her too, since she is Jasmine's cousin.
Daimon just shook his head at the whole situation, he cuddled with Aisha who has been giggling at him from time to time, and then closed his eyes to sleep, they will be leaving to the Bone Sea early in the morning after all.
…
While at the white castle the atmosphere was a festive one, after the misunderstanding that separated two generations of sisters was cleared, at the black castle the situation wasn't so positive.
"What did you say!", Abaris who was sitting on his throne, suddenly raised his voice, his black mana exploded out of his body making the two Hall Masters who earlier were humiliated by Aurora shiver.
The guy finally was able to remove the restriction Aurora placed on him, as for the woman she just finished the inspection of the treasury, which took her more time than what she expected.
Abaris shut himself in his throne room, so he didn't even notice when Aurora came, he kept getting angrier and angrier as the memory of what happened during the awarding ceremony kept appearing in his mind.
And now, his two strongest disciples came to him, just to inform him that the best resources he had in his treasury were taken away by the silver haired youth that caused all this mess.
Not only that, but his disciple handed him the black token which Aurora used to attack him earlier, the proof that Abaris owed something to her.
"She actually used it to help that brat… damn you Aurora, you even told that bastard what were the best resources in my treasury, how far are do you intend to go against me!", exclaimed Abaris.
According to his disciples, there were two worthless things taken from the inventory, the red gem which no one has ever found any use to since it requires a really high talent in illusions and an incomplete emblem, which only has collection value, in his mind those were the choices the silver haired brat made.
Abaris was smirking when he heard that, but then his smile froze when his disciples told him about the other two things Daimon took, first he was angry thinking the brat dared to steal from him, but then things got worse, when he saw the token of debt, he gave Aurora so many years ago, he formed his own imaginary situation.
For him, it was Aurora the one who told Daimon what to choose, or maybe she even picked for him since the other two things were given thanks to her token of debt.
Abaris was fuming right now, he looked at his disciples who failed him miserably and a cold light flashed in his eyes as he waved his hand, a black gust flew them away, throwing them out of the room.
"Get out of my sight, you two, go see Purplecloud and Skyfire, I want to hear what they got stolen by that bastard!".
"Y-Yes master", the two Hall Masters immediately left the room, they knew Abaris was too angry right now, staying here will be just courting death.
Abaris stayed there alone in his dark room while he sat on his throne with a cold expression on his face.
"What that guy said turned out to be true, that brat somehow tricked those two and now they are acting against me, fucking hell", Abaris gritted his teeth, his hand crushed the edge of the armrest of his throne.
'Just you wait, I won't let anyone get in my way', thought Abaris as he clenched his fists, he then took out a mirror plate and wrote a few things on it, the moment the message was sent the mirror plate broke down it was a onetime thing apparently.
