  Author's POV

   This begins with 'Cordelia' lounging on a chair on the upper part of the living room, talking to Richter who is sitting nearby. Reiji appears on the lower part.
Reiji: I recalled that Richter had a visitor but never imagined that it would be you
'Cordelia': It's been a long time and if only you weren't so stiff, you would look like Karl from when I first met him.
Reiji: Don't be needlessly invoke my father's name, as I find it seriously offensive.
'Cordelia': You don't need to be so standoffish, come closer.
    Reiji suddenly appears near the two.
Reiji: Scheming comes as naturally as breathing to you.
'Cordelia: I want to stay vibrant as long as I live. I'll tell you what I despises most. Boredom; because it's the most painful thing immortals like us have to endure. Do you agree?
Reiji: I agree since boredom doesn't suit you, death does.
'Cordelia': I'll take it as a compliment. Sit near me, I want to talk face-to-face.

   Reiji doesn't sit next to her.
'Cordelia': Are you being defensive? In that respect, you are like your mother. You suppresses your emotions and tries to hide what you feel.
   She ends by saying that,
'Cordelia': Beatrix met an useless, pathetic end.
   Reiji becomes annoyed, his facial expressions shows it.
'Cordelia: Did I hit a nerve~? Beatrix didn't seem to love you as much as Shu, her eldest son. I thought that you wouldn't mind me slandering Beatrix.
Reiji: I see how you turned my father and my brother, their uncle, against one another.
'Cordelia': Do you suggests that I'm the one who tore them apart. It makes me sound like the root of all evil! You could be right, I am the reason why Karl and Richter's once friendly relationship deteriorated.
Reiji: Their bond couldn't have been that strong if it could be ruined by a woman like you.
'Cordelia': You are remarkably observant for a son of Beatrix, I like you even more.

   'Cordelia' gets up and walks over to Reiji and she lowers his head.
'Cordelia': Your eyes look just like Karl's.
   She takes off his glasses.
'Cordelia': I'll let you in on my secret out of respect for your eyes. I came back to life to take revenge on Karl and I'll make him pay with his death.
   She then kisses his neck.
Reiji: Is this revenge for not loving you?
'Cordelia': It appears that you don't understand men and women yet. My desire to kill him is the greatest proof of my love.
Reiji: In other words you want to push your love upon him whether he likes it or not.
   'Cordelia' gets off a bit.
'Cordelia': You're certainly fond of speaking out of turn I will silence that mouth of yours.
    She kisses Reiji.
Reiji: Don't toy with me.
'Cordelia': I am becoming interested in you as a man.
Reiji: What about Ritcher?
'Cordelia': Richter doesn't object to what I do. I want to continue because we have all the time in the world.
Reiji: I rather pass because I am not attracted to corrupt women with loose morals.
   (Author: Burn!)
    She gets angry and slaps him.

Natsume: Don't worry, I'll save you Yui. Cordelia, get ready.

   Author's POV

   We hear Laito on the lower floor telling them to stop fighting because their family. When he sees 'Cordelia', he says,
Laito: I thought the next time I would see you would be in Hell.
   She apologizes for not living up to his expectations.
Laito: It's better than he expected.
    Kanato walks up
'Cordelia': My little song bird! Can you entertain 'Mommy' with your beautiful singing voice like you used to?
Kanato: How is she here?
   Subaru then appears and tells them,
Subaru: Be quiet because neither of them belongs here. Get lost.
Richter: I put on a good show despite my inability to protect your mother.
