A relieving surprise

On the tranquil morning following the chaos of the previous day, Sapphire's mansion was wrapped in a silence and peace so comforting it seemed almost out of place in the Demon World. The faint Subterranean sun cast soft rays through the tall windows of the living room, creating dancing reflections on the polished onyx walls. The atmosphere was surprisingly cozy, a stark contrast to the battles and grand declarations that had marked the past 24 hours.

In the center of the room, Vergil sat on a plush sofa, holding a silver comb in his large hands. In front of him, Roxanne sat cross-legged on a cushion, her long, golden hair cascading down her shoulders like molten gold. Vergil, however, didn't seem as confident as he usually was.

"Are you sure about this?" he asked, frowning at the seemingly endless strands of hair that looked more complicated than any opponent he'd ever faced.

"Fufufu~" Roxanne let out a soft, affectionate laugh.
