iOn the other side, Cain is still kept on running towards the Westminister Chapel. . .

Cain:
If... that hand sent to us belongs to the dead detective that Uncle Neel hired who was searching for Delilah, my father Alexial would be now waiting for Uncle Neel at Westminister...!! Uncle Neel...!!!

 

= At the Chapel =


Uncle Neel fights back: "--- But I also have something that I need to protect... Alexial. Yes, I won't get killed that easily", holds a gun aiming at Alexial, "For the Hargreeves family...and also for Cain!"

Alexial smirks coldly: "Oh. . . that's interesting. So you're saying that your stance is that you are only protecting your loved ones..."

Uncle Alexial: "...What are you trying to say?"

Footsteps:
Ka Ka Ka
Cain at last reached the outside of the hall . . .


Alexial (hands in pocket): "Yes... I had always known. The reason why you love Cain so much..Of course, it is not because of the Hargreeves family, it's only because you are seeing that person inside of Cain."

Uncle Neel: "What are you saying!!"

Finally Cain made it to the side of the hall behind one of the large pillars. He is now watching his father and uncle's talking .

Alexial: "It's because you loved my elder sister Augusta"

Cain stopped running as he heard these words.

Uncle Neel saw Cain standing still at the side of the hall.

Uncle Neel (surprised) : "Cain!?"

Cain (one hand places on mouth) thinks:
Uncle Neel loved my real mother... Aunt Augusta...!? ...That's why he's been protecting me up til now...!! ?

Cain then also saw Alex standing in front of his uncle.

Cain: Father . . . ! !

Uncle Neel (too surprise to see Cain here as he didn't expect Cain would tackle the tricks on the tarot moon card and the chopped hand): Wh.. Why did you come here?"

Alexial (a bit sad): "Of course, what I just said are true Cain. I am thankful of Neel. When my sister Augusta had our child, you. in her stomach, all our blood relatives tried to bury you from this world. But when we know that this may also take away my sister's life as she was growing weaker every day due to her mental illness, it was Neel who persuaded the whole family from doing it. That's the reason why you were allowed to live as a child between me and my wife Lenora. All is due to Neel's concern for Augusta's life."

Cain thinks:
Tthis can't be true...!

Alexial: " Or... did you thought that you yourself was being loved? Cain. You, a child of the cursed blood who tried to kill your own father...!!"

Uncle Neel (holds out a ring in his palm): "Stop Alexial !! You don't have any right to blame Cain!! Take a look at this ring that you used to call me out!" This ring which belonged to Earl Hargreeves who was your father... this was once lost and caused great concern and then a few days later it was found and the body of the maid you forced to steal the ring who suicided after was also found... But a few days after wearing this ring...suddenly your father who was in such a healthy state fell ill and we see him grew weaker and weaker... and then...! It is said that the secret skills in using poison is passed on from generation to generation along the line of Hargreeves family... Alexial...! You put poison into the ring and killed the earl didn't you !?"

Alexial (merely laughing coldy): "Where's the trace of poison in that ring? "

Uncle Neel: "No there isn't any... but it was you who took away the ring after the earl's death!!"

Alexial: "Of course, after my father I am the next Earl. Everything that father owned is mine. Neel, all these delusions of yours spring from your jealousy towards a person who had taken away the person you love"

Uncle Neel (grows angrily): "ALEXIAL . . . !!", throws thbe rtng back at Alex with all his strength, "This ring...! Even without this thing I will show you that I can help Cain to become a great earl! You can have this back!!", aims his an back at Alexial.

Uncle Neel thinks:
I will not let you do what you want with us anymore ! !

Cain (nervously): "Uncle Neel!!"

It was not Alexial who caught the ring, but someone else wearing a cloak who appeared suddenly in front of Alexial. From this mysterious person came flying a weapon in the shape of a new moon, knocking the gun off from Neel's hand. A great flash of light then suddenly appeared, blinding Cain and his uncle. Alexial and the cloak person disappeared into this white flash.

Alexial: "Neel...you will regret that you ever pointed your gun at me. And....cursed Cain. As long as you are living, I will probably continue destroying your world. As long as either you or me are still breathing, I will become Beelzebul <one of the seven satans- the rulers of the fallen angels> eating away this world continuously "

 

 

= Outside at the lake on a boat =


Cain: "The night got quite misty... are you okay Uncle Neel..?"

Uncle Neel sits down on the boat, with hand claspping at his own face.

Uncle Neel: "Yeah, sorry my eyes are still blinded by that light...."

Cain already recovered from the blindness.
Cain suggests: "When we reach the shore let's call a carriage and go home."

Uncle Neel: "Are you scared? That's not like you"

Cain: " . . . . . . !"

Cain didn't reply to this straight away but looks around nervously, " The moon that was out until then too is covered completely by this mist. I am just worry that we might be attacked on this boat where with such poor vision..."

Uncle Neel : ".. Iit seems that you become a completely different person when it comes to things about your father. This can't be helped since you were brought up to become like this."

Cain looks aside at this with a deep frown, his face shows pain, fear and shame even.

Uncle Neel (crossed hands): "Do you believe it? The things that man said about how I am seeing Augusta and you as one...?"

Cain: ". . ."


Faint music filled the night sky suddenly


Uncle Neel: "Zigeunerweisen...? Where did this music flowed from...?"

Cain: "From on top of a roof somewhere...? Can't be..."

Uncle Neel (commends): "This violin sound..The person is a great player...!"

Cain is deep in his thoughts again:
Tthis song.... It was in that dream...
y f

a..!! Uncle Neel...!!!~

-at the chapel-
"---but I also have something that I need to protect... Alex. Yes, I won't get killed that easily." Neel held out a gun,
