Luz looking out from the window and saw Noir already leaving the mansion early in the morning. He still staring at the sky when Nero knock on his door. He permitted him to come inside.
"My lord, I'm ready to go. I also have called them to bring carriage for us to go to the train station." Nero said while looking at Luz back. Luz turn around and meet his eyes.
"We'll have some breakfast before we go. Bring my suitcase down with you. I get ready first before come down breakfast." Luz said with indifferent tone. Nero nodded and carried Luz's suitcase with him when out from the room.
As Luz walking down the stair and head toward the dining table, all of his friend and family still eating breakfast there and talking with each other. Upon seeing Luz, they all become silent making Luz sighed.
"Why the long face?" Luz asked. All of them looking at each other.
"Brother Luz, are you alright? " Lumiere asked with concern. Luz sighed.
"I'm alright, you all. Don't worry about it." He assured.
"But Luz... This isn't fair for you." Violet said. Scarlet put her hand on Violet shoulder and shakes her head.
"I know you all worry about me, but we cannot do anything about it. She's belonged to her family and they have right to accept the proposal." Luz replied.
"How about the two of you elope?" Mavi said earning a slap on the forearm by Violet that sits next to him. Luz sweat drop.
"Mavi, she still someone else daughter. It isn't right thing to do. I cannot imagine that the she-devil's father be like. You want me to die sooner?" Luz makes a joked earning a smirk on Violet's face.
"But..." Rosa dissatisfied.
"Rosa, if both of us destined just to be a friend, I gladly accept it. To love someone, it isn't about being partner with our loves one, but it also mean that we happy to see they lives happily with someone." Luz clarified.
"You know I agree with Mavi for both of you to elope." Violet said. Luz just shakes his head.
"Stop talking nonsense. Eat up and go to work. I still have a train to catch." Luz said. They all continue eating as usual.
Epiphyllum's Train Station...
Four figures standing at the platform waiting for Noir to get out from the train. After they saw Noir out from the train, the four of them rush toward her with worry face. Noir surprise when she saw her friends worry expression.
"Thanks God, you finally here. We really don't know what to do." Oliva said.
"Huh? To do what? What happen? The four of you usually don't come together to pick me up." Noir puzzled.
"Mint asking me to pick you up. We need to go back to your home now." Ciano said. Vino nods as he support what Ciano told Noir.
"Why?" Noir wondered.
"Your mom and dad is fighting." Gris said making Noir widen her eyes.
"Fighting? Why?" Noir concerned.
"Worst than that. I think they on war. Mint and Winter try to calm them down with the help of my mom." Gris added.
"Oh my, what's going on with them?" Noir sighed heavily.
"Let's go now. The sooner thd better." Vino said and the five of them get into the carriage towards Noir's parent house.
Noir's parent house...
Upon arrive at her parent house, Noir and the others heard both of her parent shouting with each other while both disagree with the marriage proposal.
"I don't want my daughter marry that brat." Jade said.
"I know. I also don't want her marry him but if she didn't married him you will be kick out from this town. What should I do?" Lapis said.
"Told Noir to elope with anyone she love. Don't come back when they come discuss about the marriage." Jade said angrily. Noir sweat drop to heard her answer.
"Seriously, who want to elope with our she-devil?" Lapis replied her wife while rolled his eyes.
"I don't care. I won't let her marry him. I take her away with me if they kick me out." Jade yelled.
"What about Mint? She's pregnant and no one gonna take care of her." Lapis added.
"She can come with me. I won't let my child being abuse by that family." Jade added. Mint only shake her head as she cannot do anything about the fight between her parent.
The fight continues with a lot of yelling and nonsense discussion making Noir feed up with her parent behaviour. Her face expression calm with a rage aura making her four friends back way from her. They know when Noir is silent that's mean she really piss off. Noir step into the house and use her dark power.
"Dark forest..." She called with a low tone.
Dark smoke emerge from the place she stand and spread wildly toward her parent. Both her parent stop when they feels a chill aura and their body cannot move. Her four friends shocked when they saw Noir using dark element as they know their whole life that Noir is the wind element wielder.
"Stop making scene. Both of you have trouble others with our family matters." Noir said with cold tone making both her parent looking at their surrounding. They saw her friends and Gris's mother which also their neighbour looking at them.
Noir release her power and turned toward her parent.
"I come here as soon as possible so that our family can talk this matters like an adult. Not declare a war with each other. If both of you wish to continue, then go on. I'm out of here. What the use talking like this if no one want to hear me out." Noir said and walk out from the house. Mint run toward her and shouted.
" Where you going? Come back, Noir." Mint shouted. Noir looks at her sister with a guilt.
"I'm hungry. It's alreasy past noon, sis. Let me clear my mind first. I come home later when they already cool down." Noir replied.
"Oliva, Ciano can you..." before Mint ask both of them Noir interrupt her.
"I want to be alone, sis. Don't worry about me. I come home later." Noir said and walk away. Her four friends looks toward each other and decide to follow her afterwards.
Evening at Epiphyllum's train station...
"Stupid sister. Always leaving me behind." Raven murmured to himself.
Raven just come back from his academy field trip that morning shocked to hear the news about Noir's marriage proposal. He decides to go back to his hometown to help her sister find solutions about it. Frost also decides to come with him and both of them now standing at the station waiting for Winter to pick them up.
"Are you sure you're aunt telling the truth?" Raven asked Frost.
"She never lie about this kind of thing. Let us hear what your parent says first before we suggest about our crazy idea." Frost answered while Raven nodded agree with his plan.
Noir come back late that night. Her parent gave up waiting for her to come back and went to their room to sleep. Raven and Frost also know how temper Noir am and decide to discuss it tomorrow. Winter still sitting at living room reading waiting for Noir to come home. As Noir enter the house, he greeted her.
"Brother Winter, why haven't you going to sleep?" Noir asked.
"They worried about you. Have you eaten?" Winter asked. Noir nod.
"I'm already ate. Don't worry, Gris, Oliva, Vino and Ciano are with me. They the one send me home." Noir replied.
"I'm glad you alright. Go wash up and rest. They decide to talk about it tomorrow." Winter said. Noir nod again and saying good night to her brother-in-law befire going toward her room to rest.
****************************************************************************
Throwback of evening at Epiphyllum town square...
Noir sitting alone near the fountain at the square and still thinking any solution about her situation. Her four friends greeted her and sat beside her.
"What should I do, Gris?" Noir asked defeated.
"I have some crazy idea but I don't know this will work." Gris said.
"What is it, dear?" Oliva, Gris's wife asked.
"How about you find someone with higher status than Celeste's father to marry with. This way they can protect your mom and you won't marry Celeste." Gris suggested.
"It is a good idea but where we gonna find that kind of guy to marry our she-devil?" Vino said earning a slap from Ciano, his wife. They all slump up and decide to have a dinner before sending Noir home.
