While Jade was sobbing continuously, he went over in his mind their conversation and weighed it against what he knew.
He patted her back while she cried some incomprehensible words, as he thought, [I swear I've seen something like this before... But what was it???]
[OH, man... Why is she crying so much?!] Jack reached into the tomb, and lifted the squealing Jade, and put her into his arms, as he comforted her again. Jade was shocked and tried to stop crying, but as she saw the soothing fires of Jack's flaming eyes, she couldn't stop herself from crying more.
[What w- AH! Someone is threatening her... That anime... The second lead heroine was threatened with her family, and then she went to seduce the main character to do what they wanted... But Jade's only family is Leslie, right? And who has the fucking guts to threaten my friggin mother-in-law with my fucking wife!!! I need Leslie here.]
Jack reached out, while he continued to comfort Jade, [Leslie... What are you up to at the moment?]
[I'm coming back in a few minutes. I just finished up in Sosuhalf. I need to do some treasury work before heading back out to Souigak's branch.]
[I need you to come to your mother's room. I think something is out of place with Jade.] Jack asked.
[Alright? I'll be there in a few minutes.]
Jack cuddled Jade with his massive skeletal form, and rocked her in his arms, as she soon came down from sobbing to soft blubber.
The door opened, with Leslie entering to see Jack's and Jade's situation. She silently walked to her mother's side to see her mother's red dress drenched in black tears, and Jack's robes stained in them as well.
Jade looked up to Jack in astonishment, as Jack shook his head to indicate he didn't exactly know.
Jack took Jade and put her back into her evening tomb, as he spoke, "Jade, I have Leslie here."
"What?!?" Jade looked up to see Leslie, as Jade turned her back quickly. She took some of her sheets in her evening tomb to clean her face from her bout of sobbing.
"Leslie, dear... Why have you come, at this time? You have work, right?" Jade finished and turned back to attempt to smile.
"Mom... What's wrong? You weren't like this went I last talk to you..." Leslie asked in concern, as she took over her shoes, and stepped into her mother's evening tomb to talk.
Jack sat back down on his chair and mentally messaged Leslie his thoughts. Leslie brows furrowed.
[...There are a few people that could threaten mom, but it can't be a coincidence that the Grimnight clan's prisoners of Sosuhalf will make it here tomorrow with Warmarshal Frostgard...]
Jack's hand tightened into a fist that crackled with a frightening popping sounds. Gold lightning arc over his fist and danced in the air, before dissipating.
Jade saw this and stiffened.
"Mother, who threatened you?" Leslie asked softly.
Jade's head spun quickly to meet Leslie's with a shocked face, but recovered almost instantly, "No one has threatened me. I was just stressed a bit... J-Jack was just comforting me. He doesn't wish to-"
"Mom... Don't lie. I can tell you're not telling the truth. What's really going on?"
Jade looked up at both Leslie and Jack with wide green eyes, and she drooped her head, not saying anything.
[AHHHHH, I hate this!] Jack roared in his mind, as he stood up, "Jade, listen to me.!"
Jack's outburst startled Leslie and frightened Jade, who the ladder clutched onto Leslie.
"Jade! I am the God-King of Deagoth! I have so much power that it scares me, and some stupid wretch thought it was a good idea to scare you and make you come to me! WHO! Tell me, WHO! has the power that can stop me from doing what I want! If I have to I will unleash the whole of my Angelic host of Cherubs to snuff the unlives of every one of the bastards. I can be unreasonable in my rage! I already decided I will be the god of these people! So you tell me! Who!"
Jade loosened her grip on Leslie when she realized Jack wasn't mad at her. She sighed, and spoke with her head down, "...Emory Grimnight... Clan head of the Grimnight contacted my a few days ago, and said that if I didn't do what I had to... to have him and his clan members released, then I can forget about you bring the Queen of Deagoth." Jade looked to Leslie.
"How could he stop my wife from being Queen of Deagoth?" Jack questioned, while Leslie smiled silently.
"...He knows that Jade has the Tome of the Banshee's Wail..." Jade said with her head down.
"WHAT?!?" Leslie broke composure.
Jack was stunned, before looking at Leslie... He had talked to Leslie before about this tome and knew it was secret stuff. It was what made her CIA/KGB in the first place.
"Mother, how does he know?!?"
"That... I don't know... He was going to expose it... Honey, that tome is the leading tome of the Grimnight Clan that was lost even before I was conceived. I don't know how you got it, but it's an unholy tome... With the undead being swayed to the faith of the God-King and their belief in the holy light, they wouldn't allow for the Queen to be an Unholy Banshee..."
"Who the fuck oppresses the God-King?!?" Jack said loudly, as the anger he felt was hurting his mind.
He started to pace the floor in thought.
"Calm down, Jack... You can't make good decisions when you're angry." Leslie said slightly worried.
Jack paced, as all he wanted to do was rush to his Golden Throne, and rise before the city! Scoop this arrogance ass out of his confinement within the Warmarshal's caravan, and pull him apart like pulling the wings off of a fly.
Jack paced a bit more, as he decided into his thoughts.
The ladies watched him pace back and forth, "Jack... I don't think being rash is a good idea. Think about all the responsibility you have." Seeing that her words weren't reaching Jack as she liked, she mentally messaged Emily.
Emily woke up in Jack's tomb to Leslie's plea. She quickly popped the tomb open and made her way down the halls at a stumbling pace. It seemed her soul still hadn't recovered. She didn't even respond to Leslie.
She then knocked on Jade's door, as it wasn't that far from Jack's, her, or Leslie's room.
Jack stopped pacing when he heard the knock. His eyes glared at the door, as he walked to it to open it.
As he did, the little loli on the other side, jumped on to him, holding on to his ribcage.
Jack took a step back in shock looking at the loli holding on to him. Jack snapped his head for a moment, before he closed the door, and walked the chair he sat in previously. He wrapped his arms around Emily.
"Why are you here?" Jack asked softly.
"Leslie called me. She said you were mad, and I could calm you down." Emily said breathlessly, soul fatigue still present.
Jack looked up to Leslie, who smiled in reply.
Jack continued to hold the little thing in his arms, as he sighed out loud, "...Thank you, Leslie..."
"You are most welcome." Leslie knew that Emily could calm Jack down. She got this impression when Jack held her like a teddy bear this morning. It wasn't a matter of love, in this case, but a matter of personality between herself and Emily. Emily gave one a feeling of protecting her, teasing her, and most importantly calming you. Leslie enjoyed this feeling, when she gave Emily a chance, and quickly became good sisters with her as a result.
"Thank you, Emily..." Emily snuggled into his robes.
"Jack... What were you about to do...?" Leslie asked...
"I was going to emerge into my God-Form and find this Emory Grimnight and pull him apart like an insect... I should talk about the rest."
"The wrath of an angry god, Lucius spoke of..." Leslie shook her head.
Jack calmed down a bit now but was still angry... But it was no longer hot rage but cold anger he felt.
"I have a better idea." Jack's flaming eyes radiated a baleful light, and a halo appeared over his shoulders again, as he did so after his awakening back on his Golden Throne.
"Jade... Wait for Emory Grimnight... Clan Head Grimnight, whatever he wants to be called, he will contact you again, and I want you to tell him that you have persuaded me to save the Grimnight clan." Jack said darkly.
"Jack... What are you going to do?" Leslie asked this was a fearful voice of Jack. The same voice he used to when he ordered the purging of the corrupted officials.
Jack spoke again, "Hehe... Let's see how he dances in my palm. I wonder what color his soul is?" Jack stood up holding Emily in his arms, "I need to speak with Lucius. I have big plans for Bellum, and our dear Clan head and the rest of them will help, haha... HAHA" Jack laughed ominously, as he walked to the door, opened it, and floated out into the corridors still holding his loli.
Leslie and Jade looked at each other after Jack left.
Leslie asked first, "Mom, why didn't you ask for me and Jack's help first?"
"I... I thought I could kill two bats with one stone..."
"Well... Jack is thoroughly pissed. The last time he was this pissed he purged the court of five hundred and ninety-seven Officials..." Leslie said flatly.
"Will... Will he do that again?"
"I don't know... He's thought something sinister up... By the way... What was the second thing you wanted to do?"
"Baby... I want to be... Oh, this is harder for me to say to in person... This is why I didn't make mention before!" Jade turned her back and covered her face.
"Mother, are you going to tell me you want to be Jack's woman, as well?"
Through gaps in her fingers, Jade replied, "...Yes..."
Leslie was speechless...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Jack's hand tightened into a fist that crackled with a frightening popping sounds. Gold lightning arc over his fist and danced in the air, before dissipating.
Jade saw this and stiffened.
"Mother, who threatened you?" Leslie asked softly.
Jade's head spun quickly to meet Leslie's with a shocked face, but recovered almost instantly, "No one has threatened me. I was just stressed a bit... J-Jack was just comforting me. He doesn't wish to-"
"Mom... Don't lie. I can tell you're not telling the truth. What's really going on?"
