In the backyard
"Sir Edward, these are the reports for today morning." *give Edward a storage ring* "But this is still not all the usual..."
"Don't worry, Sebastian. I'll ask our Lord to send someone to take the rest and bring it to him"
*smile* "Alright, I should wait for that person"
"Sir Edward, are you ready yet?" *Steven said it*
"Yes, let's go"
Then the teams 2 departing with Edward.
On the way to Hunted Forest
Teams 2 meet team 1 that on the way to the manor. Some of them looks relievedly happy, some looks sluggish from exhaustions, some that need to be carried on stretchers and some porter carried a few high rank's corpses monsters.
Seeing the condition of Team 1, Team 2 was horrified and gradually looked pales. But nothing they can do about it.
"Team 2, you have been waited by the Duke. You should hasten your steps." *one of the supervisor in team 1 said it*
Team 2 look at Edward pitifully, but Edward reluctantly look away. There's nothing Edward can do for them.
*bitter smile* *avert his eyes* "Good luck!" *Edward said it*
The soldiers looks more pales.
Haunted forest in training areas
Verduny, Vincent, the 4 personal guard and 2 teams high healers already waiting for their arrival. There's a dark aura behind Verduny and the soldier frightened and they all immediately kneeling in front of Verduny. Meanwhile Edward and Anthony approaching Vincent.
"Greetings, Your Excellency Duke Amethyst" *they said it together*
*dark aura* "You all made me wait for 2 minutes." *menacing*
*cold sweats* "We seek Your Excellency forgiveness for our ignorance." *they said it together*
*menacing* "Let's see if you all worth of my forgiveness." *paused for a bit* "Let's start our training right away!" *sinister smile*
Verduny immediately seal the magicians defensive magic and start their training. Meanwhile
"Edward, you're here at least"
"You look a bit tired, Vincent. Did something happen?"
"It's nothing, the Lord will tell you the details soon. Let's wait in his tent"
"Okay"
Vincent, Edward and Anthony head to Verduny's tent
In Verduny's tent
Edward, Anthony and Vincent waiting Verduny in his tent.
"Edward, did you bring this morning report?"
*take out the documents and give it to Vincent* "There are some report that's already arrived. But there may another report arrived later in the manor"
*received the documents* "It's okay, I'll get them on the manor later. Our Lord already instruct me last night" *sorting the documents*
*help Vincent sorting the document* "So, Is he told you to running around too?" *smirk*
*sigh* "I have started running around as soon as I gave him my vows. It feels like he took his revenge on me" *sorting the document*
*still sorting the document* "What did he want you to do?"
Verduny suddenly come in the tent. Edward and Vincent stop sorting the document.
*salute* "Welcome, my Lord" *Edward and Vincent said it together*
Meanwhile Anthony
*kneeling* "Greeting, Your Excellency Duke Amethyst"
*sit down* *stare at Edward and Vincent* "What did you two talking about?"
*smile* "We just talking about your magnificent, my Lord" *Edward said it calmly*
Verduny stare at Edward and Vincent suspiciously. Edward smile calmly and Vincent ignore Verduny gaze indifferently.
*annoyed* "Anthony..." *look at Anthony*
*still kneeling* *startled* "Anthony Clark at your service, Your Excellency" *trembling*
*stare at Anthony for quiet a bit* "You can wait outside, Edward will tell you, your mission later"
"Yes, Your Excellency" *relieved*
Anthony leave the tent
*irritated* "Why did he so frightened to me? I did nothing to him, yet." *look at Edward*
*calm* "Perhaps he has nightmare on his dreams last night, my Lord."
*stare* "What do you mean? Am I the one that cause his nightmare? And how do you know he had nightmare last night? Did you say anything weird about me to him?" *suspicious*
*smile* "I won't dare to do something like that, my Lord" *calm*
Verduny stare at Edward for quiet a while then decide to let it go.
*sigh* "Anything happen in the Dukedom?" *indifferent*
*salute* "My Lord, Sebastian has implemented your instructions as you instructed, Jared has produce another pair of the devices and I have already gave it to the Madam and Sebastian."
"That so, I'll call her later. Anything unusual happen?" *indifferently*
"Nothing particular happened, my Lord"
"Then, let's discuss your trip now. Renfred!" *cast soundproof magic on the tent*
Suddenly there's a man in black robe kneeling in front of Verduny. Everyone shocked except Verduny.
"Renfred Opal at your service, my Lord"
Verduny take out something from his storage ring and put it on his desk
"Edward, this are your destinations" *look at Edward*
Edward pick it and check it
...
"Edward, you and Anthony disguise yourself and you'll go to Scapolite as a new mercenaries representative under your employer order to trade with Scapolite. Your name will be Robert, Anthony will be Warden and your employer name are Mr. Specter."
"Yes, my Lord"
*look at Renfred* "Renfred, you'll follow and protect Edward secretly. Look out and destroy anything looks suspicious around him, and you need do that secretly without any sounds."
"Yes!"
"Edward, Anthony will act as your guard on this trip. He'll follow you whenever and wherever you go. Keep an eye on him, observe and test him once in awhile. Tell me the result."
"Yes, my Lord"
"You can go now"
Edward and Renfred bows to Verduny. Renfred vanish and Edward leave the tent.
Outside the tent
Edward come out from Verduny's tent
"Sir Edward, how was it?" *curious*
*look at Anthony* "We'll go as a merchant. I'll go as negotiator with my new name, Robert. And you..." *cast incognito spell on Antony*
*shocked* "Yes?!" *his face glowing*
"Your new name are Warden and you'll act as my guard." *cast incognito spell on himself*
*realized* "Oh, then just now, you cast incognito spell on me. I understand, I'll guard you carefully" *smile*
*glance at Anthony* "Don't look down on me. I'm not that weak" *walk away*
"Ah, Wait..." *follow abruptly*
Edward and Anthony went to Scapolite
In Verduny's tent
*writing* "Vincent, you're almost done sorting this documents. Go to the manor and bring back the rest" *writing*
*stop sorting the document* "Yes, my Lord" *bow and leave*
Vincent come out from the tent and went to the manor. After awhile.
"My Lord, Lane are here"
*writing* "Come in" *writing*
Lane come in Verduny's tent
*salute* "My Lord, all members of teams 2 are heavily injured. They can't continue the training"
*stop writing* *irritated* "Weak! I'll go to check on them. Go back!" *standing*
"Yes!" *bows*
Verduny use the healing artifact to heal them secretly. Meanwhile
In the Amethyst Dukedom manor
Vincent arrived in the manor and going forward to study room. But on his way to study room
"WAIT! SIR!" *shout*
Vincent stopped and turn around
"Yes?"
*smile* "You're Sir Number 4, do you remember me?"
*paused for a moment and looked at him thoroughly* "If I'm not wrong, you're Sir Sebastian, right?" *unsure*
*smile* "I'm glad that you remember me. Are you going to study room? Let's go there together."
"Okay"
They walk and chatting along the way to study room
"By the way, Sir. What is your real name, Sir?"
*huft* "My name are Vincent Jasper, Sir"
*smile* "You don't need to called me Sir, Sir Vincent. Your position are higher than me, I'm just a mere butler after all"
*astonished* "Where do you know that?" *suspicious*
*smile* "Sir Edward and I are close friends. He happily told me about you."
"Yeah, he told him with a bright smile" *budge in*
Sebastian and Vincent startled then turn around.
*look at Vincent* "Hello, I'm my Lady personal guard, Erin Lazuli. Nice to meet you" *bow*
*bow* "I'm the Duke second aide, Vincent Jasper. Nice to meet you, Lady Lazuli"
"Just call me Erin or Lady Erin like others called me."
"I understand"
*smile* "Lady Erin are you heading to study room too?"
"Yes, my Lady want me to pick something and I'm on the way to give it to her"
*smile* "Then let's go together"
The three of them headed to the study room together.
*hesitant* "Emm... Sir Vincent?" *anxious*
"Yes?"
"Did Sir Edward already went on his trip?" *hesitant*
*look at Erin* "How do you know?" *suspicious*
"I help him last night and we have a little chat. So I know"
*still suspicious* "Are you sure? Sir Edward know his trip are a secret task, so he won't tell just anyone about his trip"
*glance at Vincent* "Actually, I overheard his grunts and grumbled about went on a trip last night"
Vincent stunned meanwhile Sebastian smiling
"I can assured you, I don't have any bad attention. I just want to know if he's alright" *bluntly*
*sigh* "Don't worry, Lady Erin. Edward will be fine, my Lord assigned someone to guard him. But I can't tell his destination, sorry."
"It's fine. I'm relieved that he's not alone. Thank you." *relieved*
They have arrived in the study room
In study room
