The years had gone by... Frederick von Eldritch never took another bride, or another lover. He just watched his children grow, recover, and proceed with their own lives as well. But things always feel much more... lonesome... when those children start getting more and more independent.

(He envies their ability to move on.)

One of Frederick's servants hurry along to announce that the King has come to the door. Ah, Lucifer... for an old friend, Frederick will answer his front door himself!

It only takes a moment for Frederick to go to the door and open it, arms open and wide for his fellow monarch. "Lucifer! Tides bring you to me again, I see."
