"He did adore you..." Julia smiled. "I believe all those years has caused him to fall in love with you."
"Then... do you mean to stop this foolish business of power?" Lenneth asked quietly, her eyes not on him.

Tears filled Florina's eyes as she looked down. "We could never be. He's a noble, and I'm just a common girl; no one would accept us." She sank to her knees, not bothering to restrain her tears. "Why did he save me all those years ago? It would have been better for him if I had died!"
Nocturne continued gazing at the floor. "What good is power if you don't have love to go with it? Lelora and nearly all our grandchildren have left Espoir; Julia and Cecil were killed those years ago. All we have left of our family is each other and Izlude, whom I have already alienated."

"What do you mean, alienated?" The woman asked.
~~~~~
"Who cares?" Julia asked. "I never married a noble..." She looked to Cecil with a laugh.

Grimacing, Nocturne prepared his story. "Do you remember the girl I brought to the manor fifteen years ago as a servant for Izlude?"
"But you were a noble yourself! For a nobleman to take a common wife is... unheard of..." Florina continued to cry, sorrow for Izlude's pain filling her.

"Yes..." The woman growled.
"...Well... It is but he is noble for wanting you, actually." The woman placed a hand on Florina's shoulder.

"She is dead. Izlude took her on a journey of some sort and brought her corpse back to the manor. I insisted that we cover up the event in order to preserve the family's reputation, but he refused and challenged me to a duel. Though I was victorious, he kept saying something that unnerved me... He kept saying how much he loved this girl, and insisted that I kill him. Tell me - what should I have done? I knew that a noble like him loving a commoner would bring bad images upon the name of House Nyx, but..."
"So... Izlude still wants me? Even after all the trouble I've caused him?" Florina's tear-streaked face was still turned down to the world below her hand pressed against the invisible floor of Fantasia as if she wanted to dive through and rejoin the man.

"Do not speak to me..." He heard his wife say. "You have not CHANGED AN OUNCE!"
"Yes... I feel his pain... as a mother... I wish I could reunite you two..." Julia whispered softly.

"Lenneth..." Nocturne stood and reached for his wife's hand gently. "Listen to me."
"I wish I could feel his arms around me again." The girl's voice was no more than a whisper as she gazed down. "Just so I could tell him how I feel... one last time..."

"Why... so you can gain more power in the end!? It was just a lie to come here!" She shouted.
"..." The woman placed a hand on Florina's shoulder.

Nocturne remained silent for a moment. "Is there nothing I can do to make amends, Lenneth?"
Florina broke down into tears again, the droplets falling from Fantasia as rain.

"You haven't tried to make amends all these years!" Lenneth snapped. "How would I forgive you?"
"Huh?" Izlude glanced up at the rain and frowned. "Florina... I... I'm gonna go to... okay? I'm gonna be with you..."

Turning away, Nocturne asked quietly, "So there is no hope of forgiveness for what I've done?"
Florina heard Izlude's words in Fantasia. "No... No! Izlude, don't!"

"What do you think you should do for me to forgive you?" The woman asked.
"H-huh?" Izlude thought he heard a voice, but grunted. "It's just my imagination... I'm going insane..."

"If I knew the answer to that question, I would just do it instead of asking. But I don't, so what do you want from me, Lenneth?" The black-winged angel turned back to his wife. "I want you back. Is that too much to ask?"
Florina leaned down and called, "Izlude, don't be so sad. I'm watching you from up here."

"...In this case... when you're vying for world power, it is too much..." Lenneth hoarsely whispered.
"Huh... F-florina?" Izlude blinked.

Nocturne closed his eyes, memories of his and Lenneth's time together flashing through his mind. Kneeling, he took her hand and kissed it lightly. "All I want is you, my love. We have been apart for far too long; shouldn't we rekindle the spirit that was once shared between us?"
Florina knew he heard her and called out again. "Yes, it's me. Go on, Izlude - find someone who's right for you. I will watch over you from above."

"Or will you always obsess over power once you're with me, hurting our grandchildren!" Lenneth sighed.
"No... I can't!" Izlude shouted. "I..."

"Power is required for a good life. I will make our family even greater than before - we will rule all of Vangelon, and live in great happiness." Nocturne still looked down humbly, although his tone was filled with passion and fire.
"Do it for me. We could not have been, and I want you to have the life you deserve. Go and find someone, Izlude. Go and be happy." Though her words were encouraging, Florina felt sorrow well up in her heart. He was forever lost to her, but the thought of him being with another woman made her want to cry.

"Then I refuse." Lenneth merely said. "I will never take someone power hungry... I detest such concepts..."

"You would wish to live as a lower-class citizen? Why would you choose that over a life of wealth and power? With my guidance, House Nyx could rule over this entire world, spread our empire throughout Vangelon, and eventually become the masters of all who live upon this planet." Nocturne's voice was even more fiery than before, as if his inner passion was burning him from the inside out.
