Ross followed Kagutsuchi to the next floor. She still wanted to ask about the kid but the idea left her mind once he turns around to face her.
"So, what do you want? I know it's related to your son but I don't see how can I help with"
Ross explained to him what happened with Luciel, his sudden change of form, and how he went outside without being noticed by her or Gabriel.
"OK, you have a child from a different race and you are worry because you don't know anything about him, I think you should've thought about it before adopting the kid. Anyway, that's not my business and I still don't see how can I help you with that"
"Luciel knows some words which I'm sure belongs to the Haros's. I know the Haros workship for you and other fire Gods so I was thinking maybe you can let us know something about them? You know they don't let any information about their race go out of their homeland so if you can share some of it with me, maybe I can learn..."
Ross's voice was suddenly interrupted by Kagutsuchi. "No"
"But.."
"No matter what you say, the answer is a no, Rossdelia. The Haros don't let information leak of their tribe for specific reasons and even if I know something about them I don't have the right to share it. Being honest, the best you could do is just give that kid back if you are so sure he belongs with them"
She sighs in response. No matter how hard she tries she was sure he wasn't gonna change his mind. Maybe going there was a bad idea after all because, in the end, she didn't learn anything helpful.
A couple of days later.
"So, I think we have everything we need. Grecia will be in charge of the distraction so we can lure Rossdelias's horsemen away from her so they can't use their real form, which will make the things easy for our warriors. Regis, hows the plan for the royal family?"
Just the day before he talked with the green-haired girl, Regis was called to help the Dreameaters to plan the assault to the Nightmare castle. Their main issue was the king and the queen. He learned that the queen, Rossdelia, was the horseman of war which means she was extremely powerful and agile in battle. The King, Gabriel, was a hellhound, a creature that he learned the dreameaters knew anything about.
"I can't do anything about the queen, I had never deal with a Horseman and I have no interest in doing it but if her bond to her husband is as powerful as you say, it will be enough just to focus on him to let her out of battle. I can do that" He explained without so many details. His goal was to get the kid back, that was all.
"Good, do your part and we will do our part and get that kid you want back to you" the leader looked at her companions "we are gonna start the assault tomorrow, get everything ready and remember that our main goal is the Crystal, once the distraction starts we are gonna enter the castle and get it back. We will reclaim what is ours!"
Everyone in the room started cheering. Regis made his way outside where Vangely was waiting for him.
"You hate to deal with hellhounds" she whispered in his mind.
"I'm not gonna kill anything, Van, I'll just let him out fo combat. Once I'm done with my part I will enter the castle and get the kid back"
"You are not gonna wait for them to do it?"
"I don't trust them, they look like creatures that only want power. I'm not risking my mission"
"Well, how do you plan to take the hellhound out of combat? They are agile, fast, aggressive, and very powerful beings, not to mention their size. Besides, from what I hear, he doesn't even belong to his realm. What if he is different from the ones we know?”
" There's only one way to find out, Vangely. For now, we will stick to the spell that we use to block their powers if that doesn't work... well, I can always spend one or two soul bullets"
"The only way for that spell to work is if the creature read it by itself, you know that it's like a self-locking spell"
"I know and I already have a solution for that. For now, let's go back to our cabin, I need to get ready"
"You are gonna need me tomorrow?"
"I gonna need you to track the kid, just that, I'll not put you on risk, my friend, so while I deal with the Royal family you get into the castle, I'll meet you there"
"But what if..."
"I'll meet you there, no matter what, understood?"
"Yes, sir"
Regis smiled at Vangely and start walking away from the noise inside the room behind them.
