"Well, I did return here but recently... my husband and I had a falling out some time ago, and he doesn't reside here as the slave to Krichevscoy's son. With all the power mongers around, I simply could could never let this place fall to would-be overlords."
Pouring a glass of chicken blood for herself, she had several bottles of different drinks.
"Well, perhaps it is not what you lack in skill, my dear, but where you are looking. Keeping up with the news often leads to brighter discoveries. Know where people are, and you will 'find' treasure. Abandoned castles tend to be bereft of expensive things over time, either by age or by pillage. I was quick enough to get this place the moment I heard my husband was defeated by Prince Laharl... and I was quick to make friends!"
Offering a pitcher to her, she wasn't sure if she drank water, but other than blood or wine, it was the only thing she had for her age around the castle. She filled Selph's glass before cutting the roast cockatrice. It smelled like heaven with all the trimmings.

Selph nodded to the story, and the advice. But hearing about a husband...? She never even knew about that.
"I'm sorry, it's just that noone ever told me that the former owner had a wife."
She smelled the cockatrice being cut up. She was expanctant of what was going to be served.

"Hmm how long has it been since he had seen his old friend, a few 100 years it seemed." he thought.
Armand walked continuously through the forest and snow he seen bodies of creatures here and there which wasnt unusual, he continued along until he seen Madera's old castle. This brought back memories when they used to come back here and drink the blood of there enemies, while being surrounded by woman. As he continued along towards the castle he looked up at the place, nothing has changed it had seemed. He walked up to the door and knocked hoping for a response.

"Well... Perhaps he never saw it as being a 'wife'... he called me one of his "Brides"... number seven-hundred and thirty seven, as I understand. I took it to mean I was his wife, but... well, when I tried to be a good wife and keep the house clean as well as entertain guests, he disowned me to keep his demonic image intact. I married him in order to prevent my village to be razed... so what did he do after we were married? ... Infest the village with a plauge..."
She served the bird along side of the mashed potatoes and dragon gravy. Though the seasoning was void of garlic, there was a good helping of onion, mushroom and other bits. She looked pretty down as she spoke, but it was perhaps the best to get it out of her system.
"Even then... I tried to be a good wife... I had made a vow to cherish him all the days of my life. He burned the contract in front of my eyes... so I hid and ran. I'm not even sure I want revenge. What I do want is a sanctuary where weaker demons need not fear of getting killed by someone trying to become overlord."
Her train of thought was interrupted by the door knocking. Her sweet smile returned as she placed the gravy ladel back into the tray.
"Oh! Another guest! If you would excuse me..."
Emily was overjoyed that she would have some real company again she opened the door slowly to the new guest, not recognizing him.
"Good evening! Care to come in from the cold?"
((Not sure how long ago you and Maederas hung out. He booted her out about 900 years ago))

'Yes why thank you" he said to this beautiful lady. Maderas had spoken about this lady but did not go into detail about her, Could this be her? he thought. He noticed she was very lovely for that matter.
"Is Maderas here?" he asked smiling. . He entered the castle to notice another lady in there sitting at a dining table.

"Maederas..." she said with a dissapointed tone.
She wondered if he would take offense to her taking his castle, if he was so asking for him. For now, it would be best if she didn't go into details.
"He was defeated by the son of Krichevscoy and taken as his vassal. I came here to make certain that this place did not meet the same fate as Dinero Palace. Won't you join us for dinner, sir? Roast Cockatrice tonight with mashed potatoes and dragon gravy."
She played off that she was dissapointed about Maederas getting captured. Her true agenda was that she was dissapointed about him being allied with Maederas. After he would hear that she took over his castle, he would end up as an enemy, and she had no idea of his intentions to him.
"So... how do you know him?" she inquired.
Smiling sadly at Selph, she set another plate on the table with the silverware at her side.

" Of course it would be a pleasure to join you" he said with a smile. He walked and sat down at the table beside the other woman.
"I heard of this "son" of Kricheskoy, what a shame he fell to him. Im glad someone could keep this place in shape since I have many memories here. Ive known Maederas for quite sometime, Pardon my rudeness for not introducing myslef earlier my name is Armand, him and I have fought to gain allies and an upperhand for our kind, now that he is someones vassal I dont think he would be much use or help."
And who might you be milady?" he asked smiling to the woman.

"Selph.." Was all she said.
Honestly, she didn't seem to like this 'Armand' too much. She couldn't help but feel some chill from him. It was probably from reading about Vampires and other monsters that go bump in the night.
But it could be too late just to run away, now. Though she has other recources... such as her sword. But her sword was attached to the cloak she was wearing.

"A pleasure to meet you milady" he said with a slight smile showing his sharp teeth. "What brings you here if I may ask?"
He continued to eat and drink, he had not eaten in a while and it tasted delicious. He prefered blood though but this would do. He looked around the place it was very clean and the table was excellent looking.

"I happen to be a treasure hunter. I came here thinking that this place was abandoned, that's it." She said. She shrugged slightly in the process.
Noticing Armand's sharp teeth, she noticed that he wasn't some ordinary person. There were demons with fangs, but these wouldn't be the kind that your average demon would have.
