But at the same time, he couldn't shake off a feeling of unease. The Land of Lust was a dangerous place, full of temptation and seduction.

He had to be careful not to let his guard down and get too caught up in the pleasures of the realm. With that in mind, he waited patiently for Aureal to return, ready to go on their date through the city.

Before Aureal open the door and go inform the Batibat or Orcus about this, she suddenly turned to me. Alex think something was wrong so he ask her what happen.

"Is something the matter, Aureal?" Alex asked her as she come to him place again.

"Yes! I almost forget, but we can't tell Batibat or Orcus about this." She said to Alex, but Alex just got confuse again after gearing that.

"And that is because...?" Alex asked to Aureal.

"Asmodea instructed me to leave as soon as possible, before any of the pillars, especially Batibat or Orcus, discover what we're up to," Aureal explained to Alex. "She believes that having someone monitor us closely would be too distracting, so she'll keep the Pillar of Lust occupied with her own activities. But don't worry, Master, I can provide excellent protection for you. I'm fully prepared for a large-scale battle, with my sword, armor, and a good command of both light and dark magic. Asmodea advised me to make use of dark magic instead of light magic because light magic is rare in the circles, so I have no qualms about using it anymore."

Alex nodded, taking in Aureal's words. "I see. That makes sense. We don't want to attract any unwanted attention. And I trust in your abilities, Aureal. I know you'll be able to keep me safe."

He paused for a moment, considering something. "I suppose we should also bring our appendages with us at this point, right?"

Aureal nodded in agreement. "Yes, that's a good idea, Master. Our appendages can be very useful in certain situations. We should definitely have them with us, just in case."

Alex and Aureal hastened out of the room, relieved to find that there were no pillar members stationed outside like before. They took advantage of the opportunity and hurried towards the exit of the palace, eager to explore the city before their meeting with the Pillar of Sloth.

As they passed by the numerous servants busying themselves with cleaning the area in and around the palace, each one simply acknowledged their presence with a nod of the head before returning to their work. The lack of attention paid to them was unusual, but they were grateful for it nonetheless.

Before heading into the main parts of the city for their day out, Alex and Aureal took the precaution of concealing their demonic and angelic appendages. They were determined to blend in and avoid drawing any unwanted attention to themselves.

Batibat approached Asmodea during their breakfast and asked for the whereabouts of the young lord. "Hmmm? Where have you gone, Asmodea, and where is the young lord? I was hoping to have a conversation with him on something pertinent to the meeting," inquired Batibat.

Asmodea replied, "Now, he has joined forces with Aureal, the fallen angel. I was the first one to leave the room after they did. They have to be still in there somewhere." Asmodea was aware of their destination, but she did not disclose this information to Batibat. She believed that they could still be in the bedroom of the Lord of Lust, but she kept this as a secret.

"I honestly doubt that you take anything I say seriously. I am blind, after all," Batibat expressed her doubt.

Asmodea was surprised at this revelation and asked, "Really? When did this begin?"

"Since I first became a member of the pillar, Batibat. That should have been enough time for you to recognize that blind people, if properly trained, have an uncanny ability to detect when others are lying," responded Asmodea while they were consuming their breakfast.

"Is that the case?" Batibat asked, curious about this ability.

"Yeah, in point of fact, I am even able to discern when a person is technically telling the truth but is only leaving a portion of the facts out bare," Asmodea replied confidently.

"You really ought to demonstrate that trick to me at some point," Batibat suggested.

"I have. In point of fact, you are observing it right this very second. Now, could you kindly inform me the location of the young lord? Am I the only one who thinks this stance deserves serious consideration?" Asmodea continued, changing the subject.

"Yes," Batibat responded.

"Of course, of course, of course!" chimed in Ruby.

"Mmhm," added Limbra.

Orcus, on the other hand, was the only one who vigorously shook his head, making it clear that he was Batibat's lone ally.

Despite this, the three female members of the pillar united in their passivity and ensured that the victims were killed.

Alex and Aureal walked through the city streets, with Aureal constantly looking around in wonder and excitement. As they passed by various buildings and landmarks, Aureal's eyes widened with amazement, and she would occasionally let out a gasp or a squeal of delight.

Despite the fact that it was his second time visiting the city, Alex couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation for the architecture and beauty of the city. However, Aureal's enthusiasm seemed to surpass his own.

Aureal's fascination with the city seemed to only intensify as they stumbled upon various gardens throughout their walk. She stopped to smell the flowers and examine the various plant species, occasionally picking up a leaf or flower to examine it more closely.

"These gardens are breathtaking," Aureal exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with wonder. "I never imagined that a place like this could exist."

Alex smiled, amused by Aureal's childlike wonder. "It's one of the perks of visiting a new place. Everything seems so much more magical and beautiful when you're seeing it for the first time."
