Issei, Zeoticus, and Venelana left the meeting room leaving Sirzechs, Grayfia, Serafall, Sona and her entourage.

Sona: Hey Onee-sama....can I castrate Saji? - with a calm smile but her eyes looked dead, similar to Issei's emotionless face.

Serafall: SONA!!! - fearing she would have to freeze her sister in place before she did something out of character.

IN THE GREMORY MANSION.

When the patriarchs and Issei appeared, a servant girl greeted them courteously.

Venelana: Ise, you better go to sleep, it's late and I'm sure you must be very tired - looking at the brunette - I'm going to take care of the engagement - proceeding to leave and as she did, a tear fell from her eye, which didn't go unnoticed by Issei.

Zeoticus: Ok, good night, Issei - unable to look Issei in the eye as he also walked away from the brunette.

Issei: Ok - his tone was calm and quiet, knowing that the parents were hurting, they wanted to look strong, but they couldn't deny it, the actions of their daughter hurt them tremendously.

Issei followed a maid to his room.

When Issei arrived, he took off his coat and sat on the edge of the bed.

Issei: Ahh... really it's good that I'm here - closing his eyes and basking in the moment.

Ddraig: I guess you could say that - his tone is just as quiet as his partner's.

Issei: Well, I better try and get some sleep - lying down on the bed without a care in the world.

As he laid down, he didn't move, he didn't wrap himself up, he was just laid there in silence with his eyes closed, he did for minutes, but he couldn't sleep at all, no matter how hard he tried, he began to move from one side to another, but nothing and that was bothering him.

Issei got up from the bed and looked at the clock.

Issei: Huh, it's already been 1 hour - surprised by how much time has elapsed.

Issei felt thirsty, so he got up from the bed and put on his shoes and went out to look for a maid, but there was no one, wherever he looked there was no butler or maid, nobody, for a second he was worried, but it was the Gremory mansion so he didn't have nothing bad to worry about.

He went down to the living room and there he saw something, or rather someone, it was Zeoticus sitting on the couch, but on the table there were boxes of beer and wine, and he was drinking some of them.

Issei: Zeoticus-san, what are you doing - as he approaches, trying not to scare the man, depending on how much alcohol was in his system.

Zeoticus: Oh...I'm not doing anything - his tone was soft spoken, while drinking a glass - I'm just here, sitting - he turned his attention to Issei - but what are you doing here?

Issei: I just can't sleep - as he sits on the couch in front of Zeoticus.

Zeoticus: Ha .... you're not mad at me, don't you find it funny to see me like this? - taking his glass for another drink.

Issei: Why would I be happy? - confused by the man's question.

Zeoticus: Well, you're in front of the father of one of the girls who betrayed you... please don't hate me... please don't hate me - lowering his head in a bit of sorrow.

Issei: Ahh... - now understanding the man's question - can I have one? - pointing to a beer.

Zeoticus: Oh... of course, but they are special beers and wines for demons - confused by Issei's want for the drink.
