“so why did you come here Roxanne”
Just as she said it she saw Roxanne was about cry, in a panic she hastily ask
“ Wait wait wait why  are you crying , did I say something wrong “
“ am I  such a bother for you that you want to chase me away as quickly as possible”
Scarlet who was flusted after hearing this regained her calm and said irritated “ you know your acting is so good even I have to be serious to notice it”
Roxanne just smiled and stucked out her tounge  cutely.
Scarlet just sighed wondering how she the dragon of dragons , a being who wad strongest accepted Roxanne as her friend ' uhh it might be because she didn’t treat me a like a special being like every one else does.’
“ so tell me Roxanne why did you actually come here “
Roxanne hummed a little  and said “ well I came here manly because I have some time to hang out with you , but I do have a another reason. “
Scarlet raised an eyebrow at her words and let her continue.
“ well you should know that we are going to make a big move against ophis’s little group this week , normally I would just ruin their plan and be done with it but I found out that they are targeting ophis’s power. “
Scarlet was dumfounded at these words and couldn’t help but ask “ are they dreaming too much , as much as it hurts me to admit it ophis is a being that is similar in power to me. And what’s more terrifying is ophis is the being who was born out of the concept of infinity so even if they try to kill her she can just spawn back to life, and as for taking her power for themselves that’s impossible as the concept of infinity would kill that being without any hesitation. “
Roxanne nodded her head and said “ yes , ophis who was born from the concept of infinity itself is not killable but it isn’t impossible to separate her source “
Scarlet narrowed her eyes and asked dangerously “ who”
The relationship with ophis and scarlet is a very complicated relationship. While ophis sees scarlet as her enemy since she invaded her home . But both of them respect  each other. If not ophis would fight her with her everyday just to annoy her. And that goes the same to scarlet who can just manipulate ophis’s subordinates without her even knowing. It’s just that ophis is just throwing a tantrum and finding something to do in her boredom. After all only they understand each other after living in solitude for thousands of years . So when one is threatened the other would move to protect her.
“Rizevim livan lucifer , the leader of Qlippoth faction in ophis’s little group “ Said Roxanne
The aura around scarlet began to intensify indicating that she is very angry. Looking at this Roxanne shakes her head and said,
“ calm down scarlet, you know this guy has a brain power to outsmart you in a battle and escape while taking some of your power samples that can be used to cause more Distruction to us . “
Scarlet closed her eyes and began to calm down slowly due Roxanne’s reasoning. Yes she know how powerful a little of her blood or power sample would be. If the right person gets it , many new discoveries could be made, that’s  how broken is a sample of a powerful being who embodies a concept.
“ So what do you want me do, since you seemed to be scheming something again” asked scarlet.
Roxanne’s smile grew evily and she said “ I want you to monitor him through your dream reading and if possible monitor those close to him as well “
“ You know even if you didn’t bring ophis into this mess I would have helped you if it is that much “
“ hahaha  well to be honest I told you about ophis is actually the reason I want to spy on him, if my hypothesis is correct he will use Samuel's poison to weaken ophis and then separate her source by using the holy grail “
“ That old light bag and his mess again , I really want to punch that guy for not cleaning his mess even after he dies “ said scarlet irritated recalling how many times she had to clean up his mess he left .  
“ sigh tell me about it , he even almost made me his own grand daughter  slave labour for that seat of his . “ Roxanne complained while nodding her head repeatedly.
Scarlet looked at her weirdly and said “ well only you will say that being the  successor of the  god of bible as slavery “
“ What isn’t that what it means, you have no free day , no bonus, no pay , no relaxation only paperwork and managing the system” said Roxanne annoyed.
“ But isn’t it being a ruler make you the most richest in the faction “ asked scarlet curiously.
“ for other pantheons yes, but for this one no , did you know that he didn’t even have a budget fixed only for him. And he made that system so he can only manage it which is very troublesome. And I don’t doubt after I became the ruler I would have tone of paperwork to do. And I hate paperwork. “
“ that I can agree on, while I don’t have any experience doing it ,but I seen  the nightmares of many beings who have done paperwork and saw its horror “ scarlet said shivering remembering the looks on the people’s faces when they do paperwork. And mind you they are all strong people who are either rulers of the pantheon or their secretary.
Once a wise man said paperwork is the enemy of all and it’s not without reason.
“ well enough of that gramps’s nonsense since I don’t plan play by his rules , will you help me monitor that step brother of mine. “ asked Roxanne.
Scarlet hummed and nodded her head indicating that she will do it.
“ well I mainly want you to find about ……………”
