Queen Laluna
The Process Against the Devil


Renata had finished exercising and was cleansing her body. He also prepared himself for the interview tomorrow. He was lying on his bed to rest for a moment.


From Sentia's mother, Renata finds out that her father and the demon duo have also arrived home. Soon, Renata might be called to dinner together. It's a challenge to go back to pretending to be okay in front of them.


"Hi!"


"Jeez, Lord Fenrir!"


"You why are so bad at being a werewolf, Renata?" dewa Fenrir said as he rolled his eyes, "you have the ability. You should be more sensitive to everything around you. Masa, you were constantly shocked when I came to you?"


"I'm sorry, God's Grandfather. I was still not used to using my abilities," Renata suddenly recalled the incident earlier this morning before the interview, "oh yes, do other werewolves have abilities like mine?"


"of course. Compared to ordinary humans, werewolves have special abilities, especially the Alpha and Luna who are indeed leading the pack" explained Lord Fenrir before asking, "why? You just met one of them?"


"Looks like. I almost had an accident. Surprisingly, I couldn't catch the change in direction of the car I hit as if it was controlled not by a human."


Hearing Renata's explanation, Lord Fenrir said, "Yes, maybe it was one of the werewolves. Or maybe some other creature?"


"Ah. Then I have to be careful."


"Yes. Before you turn 21, your abilities haven't really been maxed out. Moreover, all this time you have been living as an ordinary human being. Sure, it's getting harder for you to find anyone who's a werewolf."


"okkey. I'll remember this well."


"Good!" said Lord Fenrir who this time around looking at paintings made by Renata, "you have such artistic talent, why not pursue it?"


"I still paint when I'm free. Not for work."


There's a groan of resignation from Renata's face.


"Art workers, such as painters to writers—they would be hard to live if they only relied on art in themselves, unless they already had a name."


"Here or around the world?" ask Lord Fenrir who is interested in Renata's words. Other than things like revenge and seeking a soul mate, only this time did the God hear Renata speak out.


Renata sighed before replying, "all over the world, especially here."


"Why?"


"Not everyone sees art as important. And that's perfectly natural. There are important things to focus on in their lives. Maybe eat, education, home, or just survive."


Hearing that, the God shook his head, then said, "wow, you humanist as it turns out."


"I don't know if I'm in that category. To be honest, I don't even like being labeled because I think about this after my second life. All this time, I've only been following the 'groove'. However, after being killed by the Demon duo and coming back to life, I was able to see things that I had been missing all along."


"What-like?" ask God Fenrir.


"Privilege. I can do a lot with the privileges I have. Unfortunately, I didn't realize it."


There is silence there. Renata thought back to how naive she was. His life may be difficult, but of course there are conveniences as well. He just wants to be a good son to his father and to Bellacia. Today, he was reminded again after meeting Mr. Rendy.


Instantly, Lord Fenrir laughed and Renata became confused.


"Why?"


"It's okay. Selene likes you. He may see a potential in you."


"potential?" ask Renata.


God Fenrir realized the message. Before disappearing, he said to Renata, "It seems like we'll talk about it next time. You should have dinner soon."


Dinner is over.


Currently, Renata called her father to his study. There was curiosity from the gaze of the Mother and Child Demon nearby earlier. They seemed to want to know what her father wanted to talk about.


Renata wanted to laugh. Let alone them, Renata also wanted to know why his father had to talk to him in the workspace. Before long, the two arrived at the door of the mahogany which had an engraving of the emblem of the Soleil family.


His father opened the door with his fingerprints and told Renata to come in.


Not wanting to make her father wait for long, Renata immediately sat down on the chair opposite her father. He also directly asked his father, "Why father? Is there anything so important that you have to talk about it in your study?"


Ferdinand Soleil smiled.


"Does it have to be important, father and son meet to talk?" ask father.


Flinched, Renata replied nervously, "Ti—No father. I was just curious. Usually, I also have no problem talking at the dinner table with Mother Bellacia and Florencia."


"Hahaha," the man laughed, "just relax Renata. I don't blame you, son."


Suddenly Renata relaxed and laughed. The woman realized her stupidity. In front of him was his father. Her father, who cheated on her, made Bellacia jealous.


"okkey. You're right, I want to talk about something. However, it is not a very secret thing. It's just, I feel you're not comfortable with Bellacia and Florencia."


"Ah," Renata smiled at her father's words. Apparently, his father was sensitive.


"Dad doesn't know why and after I think, I don't have the right to forbid you either. Just don't do anything to harm you because you hate them."


"Good, dad."


"Okey, we're back to the topic, I just met Om Rendy. He said you were late for an HR interview with him."


"Rubber. Earlier, Renata was late because he had hit people's cars while heading to the office."


Hearing Renata's statement, Ferdinand panicked and asked a succession of questions, "What? Why didn't you say it at all? Are you hurt?"


"Quiet, Dad. I'm doing fine. I asked people to take care of my car insurance. However, I still have to take care of the car of the man I hit."


"alright. Next time you have to be careful," there's a pause there before his father goes back, "wait, where's the subject of our conversation?"


Renata smiled, "Om Rendy met Dad and I was late."


"Oh. All righty! Om Rendy said he didn't doubt you. However, you will face a tough challenge if you fail to make a good impression on Arnold de Louise."


"Heavy challenge?" Renata is interested in his father's statement.


"really. The perfume division is running a project to create the latest fragrance. There will be a lot you can learn in the process. However, if Arnold doesn't have a good impression on you, as his assistant you'll be ignored."


"Ignored?"


"Rubber. Instead of making you do a lot of unimportant things. He'll assume you don't exist until you feel unworthy to be his assistant."


It felt, Renata wanted to scream and complain to his mother who is now on the moon. He already knew that his prospective boss was truly an 'exceptional' person'. However, it turned out that he had no idea how extraordinary the man was.


"Grandfather Fenrir, Selene, Mother, please help Renata," Renata asked inwardly.
