"Azumi, what are you doing here! You should go and get some rest!" [Alfin]
"I will, after hearing out what you guys will decide in this meeting" [Azumi]
"We can just tell you later!" [Alfin]
"No, somehow I just can't stand still and wait" [Azumi]
"And you just lost consciousness back then, how come you are back up again at such short period of time!" [Alfin]
"That's because of Master Mahsuri blessings" [Aqua]
"Huh?" [Alfin]
"Well, the water element are mostly refer to as the healer element as you all know, and with Master Mahsuri being the spirit of water, you can said that the one receiving her blessings will have a good health in general, plus any injuries will be healed at a much faster rate with minimal complications" [Aqua]
"I see now, no wonder I can recover this fast" [Azumi]
"You are still panting! So get back there and get some sleep!" [Alfin]
"Azumi, just sit there if you like, but don't force yourself too much. Remember, your primary duty are to protect my daughter, if you're in bad shape, how come you fulfill those duty" [King Edward]
"Father!" [Alfin]
"I understand, and thank you your highness" [Azumi]
Azumi with Kucin help sit just beside Angeline (Who is just beside Alfin). She stared at Alfin for awhile
"Something bothering you isn't it" [Azumi]
""!!!"" [Alfin, Kucin, Filaurel]
(And here I was, thinking of telling brother about what happen few days back, but it looks like I don't need to do that) [Kucin]
(Thank god he notice it) [Filaurel]
"Well, let just talk about it later, right now we are in the middle of an important meeting" [Alfin]
"Understood, so mind telling me about what you had discussed?" [Azumi]
"Well, we just finished recapping about your meeting at Aster and also the recent event at Mesembryanthemum, so I said you come at right time to further discuss these issues" [Prime Minister Erdon]
"I see now" [Azumi]
"Well, with Percival at our base, we could extract some information from him but I think it will prove to be difficult, he managed to resist Mrs Grais special interrogation method, thus we couldn't find any note worthy info" [Aurora]
"I see, well, we could just use memory dive and broke his mind if you ask me, rather than using other inefficient method" [Marshall]
"Personally speaking, I'm inclined to that idea, but there's so much thing that we still doesn't know, so if we act rashly, it may cause us a greater loss in near future" [Azumi]
"But with two of them, it doesn't constitute a lost in my book, spare one and broke the other" [Marshall]
"Well, you might be right but still I couldn't agree to such methods, we could make use of them in other way such as brainwashing,high magic tracker and more, plus they are a prominent figure among the church and as such if we doesn't carefully thread this issue, we will find ourselves in deep trouble" [Alfin]
"I Agree with Princess Alfin, but I must said time doesn't work in our favour this time around, the longer we wait, they will become a bigger threat" [Rimau]
"Can I ask, did the church knew about the holy knight that brother bring back being caught by us?" [Kucin]
"So far I haven't received any complaints from the church, so we are on the clear on that one. And even if they dare to launch a complaint, we can just played their favourite card, that's denying it as they had no conclusive evidence that will support them" [Prime Minister Erdon]
"True, the attack this time around, eventhough more lethal in term of power, aren't that well organized, so I must said Percival must act individually and as such the church and Aster itself might not backed him up that much" [Albert]
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
"I see, does that mean the mysterious guy are the one prompting him to do that" [Aurora]
"Possible, I got the feeling the one that constantly changed his appearance based on that person report, the one that disguise himself as a librarian back then as well as the knight are the same person, and in all cases he is involve in the fake raja related issue" [Azumi]
"Which beg the question, why he ask Percival to do that, even if he doesn't know you are there, someone as strong as Khamishah being there should stop him from making such reckless action" [Karonlir]
"Well, I think that it must have something to do with the threat he make to me in public few days back, so whether he succeeded or not that's out of the question, but that doesn't mean he should attack Hiaccio castle" [Alfin]
"Agreed" [Albert]
"That because he's being brainwashed" [Sister Miriam]
"Sister?" [Angeline]
"Let me explain, don't you find it strange that the Mysterious man just flat out give Percival name, to the duke household with the hero and saga being there?" [Sister Miriam]
"!" [Other]
"This is just my hypothesis but I have a feeling that the artifact that he uses to transport himself out also serve as a tracker like device, if not how come that Percival guy know where is his target, in this case, the Duke's family member" [Sister Miriam]
"That's logical, they also expressed their disgust to the duke household when Ray and Mile adoption being made public, but why do you said that Percival being brainwashed?" [Azumi]
"Well, you can't detect it because of the same reason you can't perceived from where the arrow being shot, but I can and I bet the little rabbit girl also can do the same" [Sister Miriam]
"I see, so you wanted to said that the brainwashing being done to Percival is due to artifact by that mysterious guy" [Albert]
"Precisely" [Sister Miriam]
"And how come you and that little girl from duke household can detect it but other can't!" [Marshall]
"Well, let just leave that matter for another day, We have more important thing to discuss" [Azumi]
"Don't interrupt! It's important if you ask me, how come you, the hero can't detect it but she can! Doesn't that sound suspicious!" [Marshall]
"Marshall, as Azumi said, we should just carry on the meeting" [King Edward]
"But your highness!" [Marshall]
"Enough" [King Edward]
"I, I understand" [Marshall]
(Sigh... Thank you your highness) [Azumi]
(I'm safe) [Angeline]
"Well moving on, judging by your hypothesis, one can said that there's an internal conflict inside ADA itself" [Alfin]
"I see, you might be right your highness" [Filaurel]
"And why is that?" [Kucin]
"Simple, if going by that hypothesis, there's no reason for that mysterious guy to make Percival do such act as it will only cause more deficit for ADA, which mean there must be other reason or conflict between those group" [Alfin]
"If only we have more information regarding the dark guild" [Aurora]
"Actually, I received a message from Mrs Kirthiga saying that she ask one of her companion, Mrs Lin to investigate more on dark guild" [Karonlir]
"And the Hiaccio household also relay a message, saying that the two adventure will come to the capital to make a report directly to me, so I guess we could hold another discussion about that later" [King Edward]
"Agree" [Prime Minister Erdon]
Before the meeting end, Rimau, the representative from the beast kingdom, Ledang ask Azumi a question
"Sir Azumi, it's mentioned in Sir Albert report that you said that Az the time keeper had been testing you, mind telling us?" [Rimau]
All eyes on Azumi
"Well..." [Azumi]
