Chapter 62: She kidnapped OUR darling...
"That damn hag! Cursed ancient architecture, old idiot!" Roxanne screamed in uncontrolled fury, her face as distorted as Katharina's, and the wind around them began to swirl violently.
"My husband!" She screamed again... The two other women glanced at her, unsure of how to react.
"Since when has she been like this?" Katharina asked, looking at Ada, who shook her head. "We're connected, remember? Vergil and you are both yanderes… though he's more rational than you... And Rox… well, it's better if we leave that aside." Ada said, noticing the air around them growing hotter and more oppressive.
"Calm down!" Ada shouted, but before she realized it... Katharina, who had been beside her, started to ignite, her hair floating as if in response to the intense heat building up around her.
"You too, Katharina! Calm down already!" Ada yelled, and both of them turned toward her...
"Do you want to be the first in line to die?" they said together, nearly attacking Ada in unison.
"Get a grip," Ada insisted. Fortunately, she was still the only one who hadn't gone completely insane over that man... yet.
"Calm down...!?" Katharina's face twisted with rage, "My husband has been kidnapped. How do you expect me to stay calm!?" She screamed at Ada, who felt her body tremble slightly.
Ada's frustration grew, despite the tremor that ran through her.
"You damn fools..." Ada's voice grew cold, and the tension in the room spiked. It was suffocating as she continued in a tone that made the two of them tremble. "...Have you forgotten who we are? Control that disgusting power of yours!"
"..."
Hearing Ada's words, the two could only bite their lips in frustration as they slowly regained their composure. The demonic energy swirling around the environment quickly dissipated.
The heat in the room faded, and the once suffocating warmth vanished completely.
Ada sighed, relieved to see that they had at least become minimally rational again.
"Ugh... Stop acting like the world's about to end," Ada said, turning to Katharina. "We can't just use our powers recklessly here. Sure, this may be a safe place, but... I don't want to be responsible for opening a crater in the middle of Los Angeles," Ada said, calculating what could happen.
If Roxanne unleashed a tornado inside Katharina's house, it wouldn't be long before the whole city got swallowed up in destruction, which would cause a lot of problems.
"You're right... Sorry," Rox murmured, letting out a deep sigh. "What do we do now?" she asked.
Katharina remained silent, her gaze fixed on Ada, waiting for her to speak. To her, this was all Ada's fault... Well, Katharina wasn't exactly the most rational person here.
"She found him interesting, didn't she?" Ada asked, looking at Katharina, who only bit her lip and nodded. "Then she won't harm our dear Vergil... at least, not fatally," Ada began to explain.

"This isn't the first time she's kidnapped someone to train, is it? The Vampire Queen... she was trained by your mother after being kidnapped. At least, that's what I heard," Ada said, crossing her arms. "If she wants to train him, then we don't have anything to worry about... except finding them, of course."
"But what if she..." Katharina tried to say the words, but they wouldn't leave her mouth.
"If she wants to keep our dear for herself, do you really think you can stop her?" Ada questioned, pointing out Katharina's mistake. "You can't do anything. It's better to accept it," Ada said, as though she had already made peace with the idea.
'Better her mother than mine…' she thought to herself.
"Huh...!? You're not sure!" Katharina said aloud.
"Ada, you know my mother. She's unpredictable. Don't come at me with those half-hearted words... Doing nothing? I'll never accept that! He's mine...
only mine!"
"Ow!" Katharina received a sharp smack on the head. "He's OURS," Roxanne said, her gaze as possessive as theirs. "I don't care if you think he's just yours. He already said it. We're all his, so stop being selfish, you dumbass!" Roxanne said, shaking Katharina's head back and forth.
"Ow! Aah! Ow! Aah!" Katharina cried, her vision spinning.
"Rox, let her go. She's going to have to learn to share, one way or another," Ada said, her lilac eyes gleaming darkly. "You started this mess. You'll have to deal with the consequences," she added, staring at Katharina as if looking into her very soul.
"As I said, she's going to train Vergil. And that's good for us. He's an anomaly I've never seen before... Four demonic bloodlines. So, for now, just accept it. In this paper-thin world...
he could be more dangerous than the three of us combined. At least with your mother, he'll be controlled and trained," Ada concluded with a sigh. "I don't like this, okay? I hate being away from him, just like you two. But it's only until we find them..." she muttered, clearly dissatisfied.
"...You're right... She likes people with potential... and well, I think we can agree here, potential is something he definitely doesn't lack," Katharina agreed, a bitter taste in her mouth.
"My beloved is a man with great potential; what do you think will happen to him?" Roxanne asked, her eyes darkening.
"Hmm..." Katharina remained silent, clearly unwilling to answer that question.
"This got interesting, didn't it? You owe me ten bucks," Novah suddenly said with a grin on her face. "Ehh??" Viola exclaimed, shocked.
Katharina, Ada, and Roxanne all gave Novah a neutral look.
"Novah, restrain her," Katharina ordered abruptly, and the maid swiftly obeyed. "Kyaaa!! Let me go! Let me go!" Viola screamed and kicked, but her body was quickly immobilized.
"I'm sorry, little one... orders are orders," Novah said calmly, holding Viola firmly.
"Let me go! They're going to kill me! Let me go!!" Viola continued to yell and thrash, but her mouth was soon gagged.
"Ah... little Viola... You have a lot to tell me about... where my husband is..." Katharina said, her emerald-green eyes glowing intensely.
"You mean our husband, don't you, Katharina?" Roxanne asked, a vein pulsing in her temple.
"Whatever. Just tell me... What were you preparing for my dear mother?" Katharina said, her tone devoid of amusement, her presence commanding.
"Tell me... where is my husband?" she demanded, her voice dripping with dangerous authority.
