If you are planning on continue reading this story, you will have to bear it with me on this one, its the first time I write this kind of ehh...subplots if you call it that way, so be patient. Also with the perk selection, I'll give it a little bit more of time.

As I walk straight into the palace, directly to the shower, now that I got that peak of human...demon...or whatever technology at my disposal, I want to get rid of all this blood, Along the way I met of this place's servants, an imp, one I haven't seen before, he was cleaning some furniture on the hallway with one of those feathered things. Now I understand what purpose they had.

"Hey man, I haven't seen you before around here"

"No problem, also talking about Ste..." I stopped and better start whispering "Stella, knowing you're the head butler and all that, I'mma need you to get me this stuff if you...well, we all want to keep this "peace" going." I said as I kneel and took out a notebook from my backpack and show him the blueprints of a small distillery station. He took a quick look through them.

"I'll see what I can do, can I take photos of them to get the precise specifications of the contraption?" He said pulling out his cellphone, I nodded, he quickly took the photos and checked if their were good enough.

"Also Mr. Y/N, please don't tell the young mistress that we met."

Uh?

"Why?"
