Lisa feels like a lost puppy as she trailed behind Seulgi. Mavros was right beside her while Noir is behind her. Seulgi was leading her towards an unfamiliar area in the mansion.

"This is where I used to sneak out when I was younger." Seulgi says.

After going through a long hallway and a flight of stairs, they enter a room. Seulgi opens a window that was high up and easily travels up using the darkness. She reaches a hand out and she easily pulls Lisa up.

Lisa looks puzzled since the daughter of Hades did it so effortlessly. "You're like a feather." Seulgi teases.

Mavros and Noir follow them and Seulgi closes the window. They were already outside and Lisa took the time to appreciate the place.

The fear she had when she arrived with Charon was now gone. The sky was in a dark shade of purple. The lawn in front of the mansion looked scary and terrifying but behind it was a beautiful garden.

The garden was huge. Lisa sees different kinds of flowers growing and there are fruits and vegetables as well. "This place is beautiful." Lisa says.

"Mom likes to maintain it." Seulgi says. Persephone is the daughter of Demeter, after all.

"Why not do it to the whole lawn?" Lisa asks.

"Well the mansion won't look like the house of Hades if you see it like this, will it?" Seulgi arches an eyebrow at her.

Lisa snorts. "It's for the aesthetic, I get it."

"Dad loves mom so much so he allowed her to do whatever she wanted to in this area." Seulgi narrates.

"Sometimes I forget that you're not a demigod like me." Lisa sighs. She found out about it when she was training. She assumed Seulgi's mother was a mortal, completely forgetting the fact that Hades is loyal to Persephone.

"Is that a compliment?" Seulgi asks.

"Well you're a goddess." Lisa shrugs. "And so far you're the nicest god I've met."

"No one has ever called me nice before... Well, except my mother, I guess." Seulgi chuckles.

"I thought you were an ass to be honest." Lisa says as they walk around in Persephone's garden. "I'm not sure if it's out of pity but you're a lot nicer to me now."

"It's not a pity, you simply earned my respect." Seulgi says.

Lisa smiles. "All because I hit you with my knee?"

Seulgi laughs. "I think it's because you used your charm on me."

Lisa laughs as well. "Hey, I only used that when you told me to."

"Anyways, where do you want to go first for your tour?" Seulgi asks. "It won't be too long till dad finds out I snuck you out so choose quickly."

"Fields of Mourning." Lisa answers.

Seulgi cocks an eyebrow at her. "Others normally go with the Elysian fields. Why would you want to go to the Fields of Mourning?"

"I want to see the Elysian fields last. I want to experience the places here from worst to best. I remember studying about this when I was in high school so I want to make the most of this experience."

"Wow, among all the souls that are brought here you are probably the most excited about hell." Seulgi chuckles.

"Hell has been so much nicer to me than Olympus." Lisa grins. "So let's start that tour, yeah?"

"Should I sweep you off your feet or do you prefer to be carried on my back?" Seulgi suddenly asks.

"What?"
