"... There about more 7 guardsman squad submitting their resing and ready to leave." Wene carefully states the lately matter that happened recently.

" And...." Wene hesitates a bit before continue talking." I think filled it's not so simple." If it was a simple soldier it was not much to worried about. It would just need so money to hire a new one, but this guardsman is soldiers that their power had reached the pinnacle of a normal human could reach so losing even one could be seen as a big loss in power, as it takes time and effort to rise even one.

Wene pauses a bit looking at Finy stroking the ring on his middle finger of his left hand not knowing what he was thinking. But seeing that Finy node whit his head and didn't say anything she knew that she could keep with her analysis.

"It clearly that just by seeing what happening lately to find the what the next problem gonna be."

"You mean that I will start to lost advocates? "Finy casually said as he looks at the letter in its right hand.

"Sure it is. The prince coming around here it not just strolling around" Finy said while recording the content of the letter.

The prince while traveling encounter an ambush and it now stating a Wimbledon Duchy and require his presence at the Sungem City the capital of Wimbledon Duchy and not attempting would be considered a treason to the prince.

And what catch is attention it that the letter said that not attempting would be considered treason to the prince instead to the empire. For Finy it was like the letter was saying that if you do not be my allay you are my enemies. And it clear that there is a coup d'etat happing.

But he finds it strange why things are happening this way. Normally a noble with his low title of baron and at the corner of the empire would be pulled in. It was more like the prince was making a forceful recruitment to a war.

And why this would affect his territory, it very simple to see. It like some greed neighbor noble had eyes in is land. And with the approaching chaos, it was clear that someone is taking advantage of this to increase his power.

"Who would it be?... "Finy said this with a puzzling look.

"Think of Earl of Briggs with is identity, and his current position, he his the most suspicious. "Wene said slowly.

"Well is like trouble times never leave."Finy sigh quietly

"I am afraid if I don't take into account my safety, as long I lost in the wilderness, then I am afraid that my body will never be found".

When Wene heard this promptly said." I will start the preparation for the travel My Lord."

.......

Finy staying inside the wagon that slowly travels through the streets leaving the town of Aelhyrst.

In a building by the end of the town the, through the window could be seen heavy green eyes looking down, at the Finy wagon that was surrounded by dozens of security guards gradually disappeared from view.

Inside the wagon Finy face suddenly suffused with a slight chill. He sat quietly looking at the magical beast core in his hand. Just now he tries to absorb it, but nothing happens. This made him puzzle and completely forget the slight chill that he just felt.

He didn't know what it happened so he immediately concentrates and enters the game world, appearing directly in the empty black space. The moment he enters the game world a strange thing happen to make his turning completely pale.

He felt like something inside him is trying to break free. Like if is body could not hold it anymore. His vision has bloring inside his head could he could hear thousands of angry roar of beast-like with a grotesque body, like thousand of breast, combine together trying to break is mind and free themselves. This is making is consciousness slowly fade like if something is eating it.

And this time a strange light in form of a ring appears in the seemingly empty space. The moment the light reach his eyes, the roar in his minds seems to change from angry to despair and they seem to be even more violent than before like if escaping from here was the only way out of their sofer.

But their way seems to be blocked by a strange barrier with a strangely lively pattern that completely covers Finy body by now.

At the same time, the light seems to burn the all the beast in his mind. This process seems to take a lot of time as the light seems to burn this beast slowly. But Finy consciousness seems to fade as the only way to alleviate him from the suffering his mind has going trough.

After a long time, the roar had stopped and the light ring seems to exert it last strength and return the empty space his original black empty abyss feeling.

After this long process there a strange phantom like substance inside Finy minds. this substance slowly expanding and roam through Finy body and slowly integrate into is body. The moment this substance touch the barrier seems to be absorbed by it.

After an unknown amount of time, Finy suddenly opens his eyes. His eyes look calm and without focus but his mind seems in a complete chaos as a great amount of fragment memory roam his mind. But he didn't let out a single shout. In the memory fragment it could be seen a strange beast that he had never seen, some he had like the Glowing beast.

After a while, his eyes seem to gain focus again and slowly move to see the sky where the sun seems ready to rest and end the day. Then is eyes again move to see a town at far.

Finy hand then move to skate a bell on top of his wagon.

"Yes my lord" In an instant not letting even the song of bell fade a robust man in a complete set of iron armor appears a the door of the wagon.

"Go ahead and prepare an inn to stay for the night," Finy said with a weak voice.

"Yes my lord" The guard had noticed the Finny weak voice but he didn't say nothing he just assume that he his tired of traveling. Becuase the original plan was to walk all night long till the first town of Wildbrom duch he was a little happy off not having to march and risk his life in the unknown cold darkness. So he had sent someone at the fast speed to the closest town.

.....

In the middle of the night inside the most famous Inn in the town of Seoul.

"Long Live to the Lord"

"Our Lord is the best..."The bar part of the Inn was filled with soldier throwing their mount with the best beer and shouting praise at their lord. And of course, they are talking about Finy. That rent the Inn entirely and offer the best drink to his soldier. Off course, not all soldier are drinking most of then are heaving guard the suit that he was in.

Currently, Finy sat a bed corner with his eyes closed. It was clear that the early event put a heavy toll in his mind. But he was in no mood to sleep.

But then at this instant at the dark corner of the room, it seems like a door opening and revealing a person with a dark hood with only green light coming from it.

Finy open is eyes looking a the emerging figure. But he did not talk. The room was quite just filled with a heavy tension between the two-person looking at each other.

"You got nothing to say" The First person to talk was the person white the dark hood.

"Haha hah ..." Finy let out a heavy laugh. But his laugh seems that could not leave the four all and reach the guards outside.

"So it was you Billia," Finy said with his tired voice but with a hidden mean and a little disbelief in is words.

"What did happen there at the mansion" Billia take out her hood revealing his face to Finy. She had noted the meaning of Finy words but she asks what botter her for days.

"I think that you already know what happens, " Finy said whit a heave feeling.

"You know what happens to my father?" After Finy starts talking Billia show a little anger in her eyes think that Finy wants to run for the real conversation here.

"It was your father doing"

"I bet if you were born a boy he would have killed me and make you take my place. And probably after we had married I would fallow my father fate." Finy keep talk not given her the time to say anything.

"So I did the obvious." Finy ends his word while looking at Billia eyes.

"You think that by saying this I would forgive you" After a long moment of silence Billia start talking with a voice that reveals a lot mese feeling and felid with resentment of what she was about to do.

"Of course that I didn't. " From the very begin, Finy voice didn't seem to sound like someone that was a dead door. But Billia seems to note it.

At this moment all the little words that are spoken reveal all the story that happen recently and what their desitions were.

Billia at the end o Finy word she raises her hand revealing an orb that seems to be merged with a lot of strange material an with a heavy ruby color.

The orb starts to emit a fierce red light and it could see that the temperature around it start to rise rapidly

At this time Finy didn't wait for Billia to end hew move. Suddenly a big chunk of metal barely with a square format around two by two meters and 20 cm thick appear. And it heavily it the floor slightly causing a tremor.

Then a red jet of flame flies from the orb directly hitting the metal chunk.

"Boom......"

The moment the jet flame hit the front part of the metal shield chunk it cause it to start to melt it slowly going deeply around 2 cm.

Finy could feel a slight push originate from the flame impact and the metal shield temperature raising it.

But he didn't stop for even a moment since he summons the metal chunk. At this moment a Compact Grenade Launcher appears in his hand. He knew that was impossible to directly aim at with this flame jet aim at him.

So Finy aim slightly at the roof and pull the trigger

Billia at this moment had a deeply chill. She moved at her most top speed she could to try to take something.

"BOoom"

But her speed could not compare to the explosion coming from the top sending her whit a heave push backward.

Finy saw that slightly after the explosion the jet flame had died down but he didn't stop his action to look at Billia state. Again a Compact Grenade Launcher appears in his hand as he toses out the one he had and shot it from above the metal shield chunk.

"Boom....." Again he did the same thing the last time shooting the Compact Grenade Launcher. But this time the explosion causing the floor to completely tear down to the floor below.

"Cuff. cuff " Finy try his best to raise up. As he didn't know the real state of Billia right now.

Seen Billia in form of him he didn't even wait to confirm if she was dead or not. As an M16 Assault Rifle appear and he starts shooting...

"Tah-tah-tah-tah ...."

"ClischClisch " Finy only stop when the bullet had ended.

After a long moment, he didn't see her body showing any movent as what stay before his eyes as not a beautiful girl but just a burned charcoal chunk of meat that barely stick together.

Then he raises his eyes from her to look around. Now he is a the bar where the soldiers have been drinking.

Ever single person was looking at him with their mouth not letting a single voice out.

"You take this body and burned it till the ashes and bored it the deep you can" Finy looking at the closest soldier and said.

"Yes My Lord" The guard seems that all the alcohol he had drinking had vaporized at the frighting of the atrocity just now.

Then he goes at the balcony receptionist not caring by the fear in her eyes directly putting a gold bar on the balcony top.

"Bamm.... I think this would pay for the damage and a new Room"
