The yet James had arrived in was a lodge belonging to the church, one of the houses formerly inhabited by the human witches who were an important part of the church\'s power.

The person who lived in this large house was now none other than Ariel.

When James arrived in front of the house, he knocked on the door and after a few seconds the door was opened by Theseus.

"I didn\'t know you lived here, Thes," James said, walking in, and seeing Theseus\' smiling face.

"You\'re finally here, I can\'t believe it took you two hours to get here, what in God\'s name were you doing?" said Ariel who was sitting on the sofa with one leg over the other.

"You know, trying to get a house built for Nemesis, Miracle, you, Theseus and many others."

Ariel shook her head from side to side as James said these words and then stood up and motioned for James to follow her.

After a short while Ariel and James made their way down to the basement of the house, and when James saw that it was a torture chamber he shuddered at the thought of the witches of the Church of Night, not that he knew much about torture.

"I told you to just catch her, there was no need for torture," James had said, strangely he had thought Ariel was capable of such things and he was right, after all, Ariel could be quite brutal when she needed to be.

Ariel paused when he heard those words and then pointed his finger somewhere, James looked curiously at the spot shook his head from side to side in disbelief and then asked, "Is this a new method of torture?"

Ariel smiled and then said, "You told us never to hurt her unless she tried to kill her pursuers, so we didn\'t hurt her, we locked her up and took good care of her until you came here."

James looked where Ariel was pointing and saw a place surrounded by iron bars. Inside was a very comfortable armchair, a place to take a shower, and the thing that surprised James the most, was a refrigerator.

"I didn\'t even know there were refrigerators in the tower." James suddenly said, and Ariel, who heard this, turned to James as if surprised and said, "The tower is not uncultured, James, there are industrial creatures here."

James could not express how embarrassed he was.

However, James approached the iron bars and then started to look at the person sitting on the seat.

The person in front of him looked like a female elf of about 16-17 years old, but the appearance of elves could be a deception, the person in front of him could be 1600-1700 years old.

"Pleased to meet you, my name is James Arthur Black, known as Umbra of Chaos.\'"

James suddenly introduced himself and then waited for an answer, when the woman sitting on the sofa closed the book in her hand, she looked at James and then said, "I don\'t have a name, as you can see, I am a Dark Elf, we are not very popular, I was thrown out when I became an orphan."

When James heard those words, he realised that it would take a little longer to gain the trust of the other person, after all, it would be many times more difficult for an outcast to open his feelings to the outside.

After a few seconds of standing still, James suddenly sat down on the floor and said, "I am the current leader of the Church of Night, which means that I will be the one to punish you."

After James\' words, the dark elf had waited without saying anything, she had thought that she would be sentenced to death because the punishments given by clans or other groups were always like that, it was almost impossible to make an exception. The people in the tower were quite ruthless.

"You\'re lucky, though," James said, and the dark elf\'s attention turned to James as he heard those words.

"If you had harmed anyone, I would have killed you without blinking an eye, but you managed to escape despite being chased for almost two and a half months, and you never once tried to kill anyone in the process. You just stole. And why did you do that?"

When James said these words, the dark elf\'s eyes widened. It was a great shock to the female dark elf that the direct leader of the Church of Night, which had a huge, deep-rooted and incredible authority, did not give her the death penalty.

"I...Well, I needed money, I have people to look after and that\'s why I needed money."

James smiled when the female dark elf uttered these words.

"I know the feeling, though it wasn\'t because I needed to look after someone, it was because I needed to fill my stomach, I wasn\'t in the best of shape before I entered this tower if you know what I mean. Still, you should have tried to work properly."

At James\' words, the dark elf\'s ears drooped as if she were a dog, a very funny but sad sight at the same time.

"I used to be a slave, I\'m a Dark Elf, they don\'t give us work, even if my carers aren\'t Dark Elves, they\'re orphans, they can\'t find work, I have to look after them as the eldest, one of my carers got sick and I was trying to sell the essence of the monsters I normally hunt and suddenly I needed a lot of money since she became sick."

James\'s face fell at the female dark elf\'s words, the person in front of him had stolen for a higher purpose than he had thought.

James suddenly seemed to have determined the punishment of the female dark elf in front of him, and when the smile reappeared on his face, he uttered the following words:

"Still, theft is theft, no matter what your motive and you must pay the penalty. I will now announce your punishment."
