"Glad to see that you will be joining us this evening," Patchouli says calmly.

"Always a pleasure," he replies. "So, where is our guest of honor?"

"I left her in one of the chambers in the lower library," she says.

"Lead the way, my Mistress."

Patchouli gives him a slight nod. She leads him deep into the library. They pass countless rows of shelves until they reach a large staircase heading down. A glance over the side reveals several floors underground, each filled with shelves and books.

"Are Sakuya and the others asleep?" she asks without looking back.

"They have been... taken care of," he says with a smile.

"Very good," she says. "I hate interruptions."

They head down the staircase to the lowest floor underground. As they go deeper, he takes a glance at the shelves. The books in the lower floor are kept in pristine condition. Perhaps they are cleaned regularly by the mansion staff.

At the bottom of the library, he hears a few distant sobs from afar. He smiles eagerly.

"So, is she fresh?" he asks.

"She struggled a bit, but her essentials are undamaged," Patchouli says emotionlessly.

"Excellent."

He licks his lips as they approach the chamber.
