Klaus is seen in the midst of a few demons with Baby seating atop a throne with skulls on it, it is clear that the young man is perplexed at what was going on.

Not too long after, Baby finally decides to break the silence with her voice echoing across the grim room.

"Do you not have any questions??... Do you know why you are here??"

Baby asks in a casual manner.

"I honestly do not know anything, all I know is that I was praying one moment and the next I'm kneeling before the most beautiful and intimidating woman that I have ever met."

Klaus doesn't realize the extent of his words until Baby let's out a chuckle.

"You my friend, have a way with words and I have to applaud you for that. Most men would be scared out of their minds while kneeling before me but you, you are quite strange."

Baby remarks with an amused expression.

"But then is it not strange that I should be scared in the presence of one whom I worship?...

It would be utterly foolish of me and I am not a foolish man. Yes I am confused why a lowly man such as myself would be summoned into your presence but that doesn't mean that I am scared as I am truly honored to lay my eyes on such a ravishing beauty.

I must confess that the one that illustrated a drawing of you really did not do you any justice at all."

Klaus flirts with more finesse drawing more laughs from Baby and grunts from the demons around him.

"You really are a peculiar one, aye….. I like you, it would seem I was right to choose you for the job I have in mind."

Baby remarks with a sly look on her face.

"What do you mean by that?"

Klaus asks, raising a brow as he heard Baby's comment.

"Klaus, I want you to help me do something, can you do it for me??"

Baby remarks, retaining a somewhat serious expression.

"Anything, my lady. I'll do anything for you. Just name it."

Klaus replies with lust and a desire to please, visible in his eyes.

"I want you to help me kill the leader of the Church of the Damned, Judas."

Baby commands in a calm but firm voice.

"What??"

Klaus stares wide eyed at Baby with several thoughts running through his mind.

"What are you talking about??"

"What happened??... Is the job to big of a deal for you??... Or are you incapable of helping me with this simple task??"

Baby asks as she rises from her seat and begins to take slow and calculated steps towards Klaus with the latter staring at her with more confusion in his eyes.

"I do not understand this at all, why would you order me to kill the head of a church that worships you as one of its major patrons??... Please explain this to me."

Klaus questions with a worried look on his face.

"My oh my, most men wouldn't have asked me such a question but you did even when you know that I could take your head off with nothing but a thought.

you really do intrigue me and peak my interest Klaus."

Baby replies as she finally reaches the confused young man and held up his chin to face her directly.

"Do you really want an answer to your questions??"

"Y…. Yes."

Klaus replies with a stutter as he began to fear for his life.

"If not for anything but at least let me understand why I would have to try and kill a man that I look up to as a great father figure, please."

"Very well, I will answer your question."

She remarks letting go of his chin and heading back to her seat having thoroughly examine the eyes of Klaus with the latter heaving a sigh of relief.

"Thank you."

Klaus mutters.

"No need to thank me. Now for the reason I want you to kill Judas, it is actually a very simple one."

Baby says with a chuckle.

"And what exactly is this simple reason??"

Klaus asks.

"Be patient I'm getting to it."

Baby giggles with childish abandon.

"Anyways, the reason I want you to kill Judas is because the patrons which he is meant to be a messenger of are no longer happy with him and wish to remove him and put someone in his place that will be able to heed their words and listen to their instructions."

Baby explains with Klaus staring intently at her.

"What??... Our patrons are no longer happy with the leader??... You are no longer happy with the leader??... But what did he do wrong, there must have been something that he did, right??"

Klaus asks as he tried to understand what Baby was saying.

"He has sinned gravely against us in several ways and I don't have the time or strength to start naming them, he is disobedient and now the patrons are dissatisfied with his position as a leader.

We want someone that will be able to listen to us and not a stubborn individual like Judas.

He has gotten proud over the years and now feels that he can do whatever he likes and we won't be able to do anything about it, insolent fool."

Baby remarks in disgust.

"I cannot believe this, No it just doesn't add up."

Klaus remarks in disbelief.

"Would I lie to you??"

Baby asks with a sly look.

"Even if you were telling the truth, why don't you just kill him yourself??.... Why ask for the help of a mere human such as myself to perform such an uphill task??"

Klaus asks with a complicated expression.

"We would kill him if we could but unfortunately the bastard signed a contract with the princes rendering it impossible for any demon to attack him.

If I tried to harm him the contract will take effect and I'll be bound by it immediately so I need your help with ending Judas once and for all."

Baby explains with Klaus just staring at her.

"If you cannot harm him then what will I be able to do??...

It is said that Judas sold his soul for dark powers, if I tried to attack him he would sense me from a mile away and would snuff the life out of me with ease."

Klaus remarks with a worry.
