Welcome to Gaia! ::

Claude looked up at his name, he pushed the glasses up. "I indeed found something about her uncle, but nothing particular pertaining to this case."
"What do you mean?"
"He recently moved an sizable amount of money from his accounts. He transferred the funds in the form of gold bars to where or whom he gave this too is unclear. He also purchased a large order of diamonds."
Isabella tapped her finger on the table. "Gold bars could be melted down so that they would be untrackable....and the-Wait! Diamonds?"
The spider butler smiled, "Diamond necklaces, for his mistress."
Again Isabella stared at him. "The whole story Claude."
"Your uncle, while married to his wife is on the outside the model of a god-fearing man. But his devotion to god does not extend to the marriage-bed."
"Who is the woman?"
"A Soprano, by the name of Lorittia D' seay. A famous opera singer who was recently fired from the theater for brutally attacking her understudy."
The girl frowned, wincing "I remember that, it was all over the papers, Senora D'seay had torn half the girl's face off with a hat pin."
Claude's lips twitched slightly. "The very same woman is receiving not only diamonds, but had recently moved into your family's villa as a present by your uncle."
"Whaat!?"

"I would love it to my uncle as well." Isabella said. "It would give me more of a reason to end his miserable life."
Sammael pulled out a large key from under his coat. "But that does not explane the damaged book, he does not have this. Only highranking members of the clergy like yourself have access to the grotto library."
"Yes, there is that, but....could he be paying off someone in the clergy? That would explane the gold."
"It would." Claude said.
"Tthe only one beside me who has access to that library is the Cardinal Borgia."

"If you want to talk to that opera singer, I suggest you do it soon, Tomorrow, I plan on evicting her out of my family's villa with or without my uncle's consent." Isabella was still angry about it. She took a deep breath to calm herself. "I could investigate members of the clergy. I've done it before, see who's been sneaking into the library without a key."

Her nose twitched, the demoness had heard the screaming of her minions and listened. "Who was it who disturbs my sleep?" She who was Adam's first wife saw the girl with red hair. "The Torquemada girl.....how stupid." The demoness rolled over and closed her eyes, but a boy's voice joined in the screams. She cracked one eye open. An image of a boy, with blue eyes.....a very unusual design in his left eye, it was very faint, but clear to her, it was two demonic seals, over lapping eatchother. Ooh? this is intresting.....

Isabella told him the directions. "I'm going to sleep for a few hours then go to the library to see if there's anything else missing."

The shadow smiled, it condensed and formed a shape of a woman. The demon was till smiling as it walked towards a man asleep in his bed. He didn't wake until the demon was laying beside him.
The deeply tanned man sat up, startled out of his dreams. "What is going on? Who are you?"
"For one who wants to sale his immortal soul to the darkness, you are stupid." She said.
"Then it worked? But how? I thought that it you were supposed to be summoned after the children died."
"We happen to be fickle.....Tell me what you want.....Tell me what your heart desires....." She leaned in close to him, the man in black.

As it was very late evening it sounded like there was a party going on inside. The door was opened by a very drunk footman.

The party was rather small, with only a few people seated around a table laden with bottles and food. The former Diva was laughing at a man who was half dressed, drinking stright from the bottle like the rest of her guests.

The drunk foot man went over the woman dressed in tight bosom exposing dress. Lorittia D'Seay was a singer past her prime and it showed by the layer of caked makeup that only served to enhance her wrinkles.
"What have we here, a little lordling come to play?" she said as she walked out of the parlor room. "Excuse me but you seem to be up past your bedtime. but...oh my...." She smiled when caught sight of Sebastian."....What can I do for you?"

She had pouted at first, but listening to the boy. She shook her head. "I don't know anything dear. Satanic......"She laughed "that's the silliest story I have never heard. If you are conserend about my diamonds they are indeed a gift.The Signore has come across a resent windfall because of his nieces dowry. " the drunk woman blinked. "I thought that she was to marry that bullfighter. That little whelp is marrying you? There is no way that the her uncle would allow her to marry outside the spanish court."
