In the study room
"Welcome, my Lord" *Lydia greet Verduny*
"You're here already, I though you'll rest first."
"It's because, I really want to help my Lord" *smile*
"In that case make me a warrant for my knights to meet the second prince in the palace. And about their mission, I'll tell them myself"
*smile* "Yes, my Lord" *sit on the sofa and start writing*
Verduny cast a doppelganger spells. His doppelganger sit in Edward's desk and start drawing. This occasion make Lydia impressed. Meanwhile the real Verduny get on his desk and start sorting the pile up documents in his desk.
After a few time
*approaching* "My Lord, your warrant are ready" *give it to Verduny*
*take the warrant* "Thank you, Can you help me sorting all this documents too?" *dispirit*
*giggles* "My pleasure"
Part of the documents glowing
*shift*
The glowing documents move to the sofa.
*knock knock knock*
"They're finally here, you should go back to your positions"
"Yes, my Lord" *smile*
"Come in" *loud*
Lydia back to her works. Then two mans walk in the study room.
"My Lord, last time you throw me out alone. You're so heartless. It's been so many years already and you didn't even reply my letter for once" *disappointed*
*looking at him* "..."
BRAK!
One of the mans smash Verduny's desk. Lydia shocked, but that man still didn't release Lydia presence.
*get closer* "Why are you called me now? Do you miss me?" *menacing*
*not budging* "... you're too close" *glaring*
*take a few step back* "You're still bor ..."
"Jared shut your mouth, you're scaring the Madam"
The other man give him a warn
*disbelieved* "What? Madam?" *turn around*
Lydia smile at Jared
*running to Lydia* "Unexpectedly, you were mar..." *stop*
*whoosh* *BLAR*
Verduny cast a wind magic at Jared but miss it. Everyone shocked and look at Verduny
*dark aura* "If you do anything stupid, the next shoot will be in your head" *menacing*
*cold sweat* "I... I... I won't do anything. I just want to greets my Lord's wife. Just that! I swear! Please believe me!" *scared*
*menacing* "..."
*kneeling* "My... my Lord, Please forgive me!" *shouting and begging*
*smile* "My Lord, it's fine" *glance*
Lydia look at Verduny and Verduny calm down.
*sigh* "Alright, you can talk with her but don't you dare do anything stupid. Albern, come here."
Jared feel relieved
"Yes, My Lord" *approaching Verduny*
"Get more closer, Albern"
Albern get confused and walking forward. Then he feel like he get through a barrier and his confusion vanish. (Verduny cast a barrier soundproof spells on his surrounding). Meanwhile
"Madam, thank you for your help earlier" *salute*
*smile* "Is fine. Let's talk for a bit, you can sit there."
*smile* "Thank you, Madam" *sit down*
"Can I ask for your name, Sir?" *friendly*
"You don't need to be polite with me, Madam. I'm one of the Duke's folks too. My name Jared Morganite, I'm the fifth son of Earl Morganite. I work as the Vice Leader of the Duke's Research Teams." *smile*
*smile* "My name Lydia Amethyst, Sir Morganite. Nice to meet you!"
"Just call me Jared like the Duke used to call me."
*giggles* "Alright, Jared. You seem close with the Duke, I think it's just you, Edward and The Second Prince that dare talk to him like that, can you tell me your story?"
"Ah, I was originally the Duke childhood friends just like Edward, but I meet the Duke earlier than Edward. Albern also the Duke childhood friends too. I even join his adventures party when we're still a child."
"The Duke have an adventures party?"
"Yeah, our party never be list in the guild because the members are all a child. We had to sneak away to went hunting. We were planning to traveled the world together when we grow up, but something happened to our captain and our party decide to help him"
"Your Captain?"
"Hehe, the Duke are our captain in the party. We decide to help him by working for him. He was once our life savior, so we all willingly work under him and make our vow for him. Even though he's a spartan superior" *chuckles*
"If you work under my Lord, why have I never see you?"
*start to get irritated* "That's because he send me to studying magic in a really far away place."
"Did something happened? Why do you look so pissed?"
"In the past, 3 months after he entered the Royal Academy. He called all members of research teams and gave us a different maps and storage rings. He told us to transfer schools according to the location in our respective map."
"So that's why we were never met before. Where were you went, Jared?"
"The location in my map are Blaze City, I have never heard or went there before. So, I went according my maps instruct me. Before I went, the Duke gave me 2 storage rings full of waters. I think it's weird and ask him. Then he told me I'll need it when arrived in my destinations."
"So, do you really need a lot of waters in there?"
*irritated* "YEAH! I even need to save it carefully!" *menacing*
*confused* "You have a lot of water. Why do you need to save it?"
*irritated* "Because in the Blaze City, there are fires everywhere. If you don't be careful, you will have a hard time breathing because the weathers and airs in there are always hot even at night time it's also hot. The land in Blaze City are really dried, no! If you walk carelessly on that land you will get burn, there are often occurs a wild monsters going rampage too and water are really rare in there. If you sell water in that city, you'll be rich in no time!" *grumbles*
*shocked* "How can people live in that conditions?"
*calm down* "Yeah I though so at first, but I think that's what the Lord wanted me to learn in that city. I finished my educations and became an instructor in that city's Academy"
*sudden* "Jared, you're next. Come here!" *Verduny call Jared*
"Madam, we should continue our talk next time we meet" *salute*
*smile* "Yeah, Good luck for you!"
Lydia continue her works
Back to Verduny and Albern time
"Do you need anything, my Lord?"
*take out a picture* "Albern, you have two main missions, the first one are to find this person!"
*look at the picture* *shocked* "Aren't this person already death a long time ago?"
"I hope so, but he's still alive. Find this person and discover everything related on this person especially poisons. You don't need to kill this person, I want to kill that bastard with my own hand. I think he'll hide in a rural area, investigate it thoroughly!"
"I understand, my Lord"
"Your second missions are observing the first prince and report everything that looks suspicious to me. He's a vigilant persons, be careful not to get caught" *serious*
"Yes, my Lord"
"There's your third mission. Find a person named Anthony Clark"
"Do you want me to kill him, my Lord?"
"No, find every information about him. I want to recruit him"
*stunned and grinning* "I won't fail you, my Lord"
*glance* "You can fail on your third missions but you can't fail on your two main missions" *serious*
"I'll put all my efforts on the missions and try not to fail any of them" *firm*
"Good, one more thing. Send one or two person of your team to observe my surroundings and destroy everything that look suspicious around me for the time being. Before that, tell them to report themselves to me."
"My Lord, can I ask something?" *bows*
*glance* "What?"
"My Lord usually refuse to be guarded and my Lord can easily annihilate anything that looks suspicious in his surroundings too, so why my Lord want to be guarded secretly right now?"
"I just need the help of the assassins teams. You don't need to worry and just send me your members."
"As your command, my Lord"
"You can start now"
"Yes" *firmly*
Albern bow to Verduny and then vanish. Verduny uncast his barrier.
"Jared, come here!"
Jared walk toward Verduny
*look surrounding* "Where's Albern, my Lord?"
"He start his works"
"That's right, I forgot that he's an assassin. Then what task do I need to do?" *bows and smile*
*knock knock knock*
"I'll open the door for you, my Lord"
Verduny get quiets and Jared go to open the door
*open the door*
"My Lord, your knights are here"
"Come in"
4 man in armor uniform walk in steadily and stop a few meters in front of Verduny desk. Then the 4 of them kneeling.
"We are at your service, my Lord" *loud and firm*
"I order you four to go to the palace immediately to escorting our guests in their destinations and take full responsibility of their safety. This is your destinations." *take out a map and a warrant then put it in his desk*
One of them take them carefully then walk backward and kneeling again
"You all will camp together with our guests in there until receiving my next order. Take anything you need and put it in this storage ring." *put it in the desk*
One of them take the storage ring then walk backward and kneeling again.
"Remember this, serve them carefully. I don't want to heard any complaint from them" *murderous aura*
The four knight get scarred and cold sweat. The atmosphere in the room get intense
"Yes, we all swear to the Lord to finish our missions without fail"
*paused for awhile* "You can get going now"
They're standing, bowing and then leave for their missions.
