“I see.” responding beneath my breath.

Actually, What are they doing here? I thought they have their course routed to Lüadenstadt yet they are here in a doomed place. According to the edict that I have read before setting across to Inglovia (Well, technically, this is Inglovia. But not on the mainland.), Lord Guan is about to have his study in Inglovia. Adding to the fact that this damsel is here, what will happen if she is not around? Supposedly guarding the queen - Lady Anda. The Verlassenes are without a leader. For Lady Wellicia’s sake, who will then assume the control of the ‘Forsaken Ones’? I do expect not to directly initiate a bad confrontation with them but this is it. Lord Aisla is not going to order the Verlassenes immediately. It is upon the directory of the kingdom. Never.

“What was that, Lord Ameniah?” Lord Guan notices me muttering to myself.

“No! Nothing, Lord Guan. I was just having some ticks, you know?” I reply to him.

“What do you mean, Lord Ameniah?” Maison follows through with the same argument as Lord Guan has.

“Tourette Syndrome, you know? Actually, I had this symptom when I was a child and now, it is relapsing once again.” I answer them in a sardonic way.

“Oh?!” with that kind of reaction, they buy into my sarcasm.

I did anticipate not how gullible they are at the first glance. It was meant to be a joke, per se. And surprisingly, they gave me an approval with widened eyes and a reaction of an authentic response of ‘Oh?!’ My previous testimony says otherwise. I can’t believe how Lady Anda marries this guy. And Maison? I have nothing to say about her negligence of her duties at home either.

“Well, either way. Let us go outside this alley, shall we?” I suggest them, since speaking thoughts in a dim and secluded space makes my mind asphyxiating.

“Sure whatever you say, Lord Ameniah.” , “I have no problem with that. You have better judgment according to that decision, Lord Ameniah.” as they express their concern, concurring with my sentiment. Meanwhile as we meet the bright rays of the sun and the fresh air coming from the breeze of the ocean, I lead Lord Guan and Miss Maison towards the path to the headquarters.

“Where are we, Lord Ameniah?” Lord Guan first asks me the question, while he is in the same cadence with me at the pace.

“Ninety-ninth (99th) Street, Overview Conglomerate Block.“ I send him the total-exact location of where we are as of now.

“Lord Guan says if we are really in Inglovia. Right here, right now.” Maison emphasizes what Lord Guan has told me prior.

“Thank you, Maison.” Lord Guan adds.

“To the aforementioned… yes, we are right here and right now in Inglovia. This is Fort Quogsagihaxee’e. Welcome to Inglovia! Isn’t it your first time here?” I say with an ardent clause of my breath while the three of us are walking.

“Yes, milord.” Maison answers, treading behind us - Lord Guan and I.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

“In an obvious way, Lord Ameniah, this is my second time coming. I am originally an Inglovian, though, an Inglovian from another world? Another dimension? I don’t know! Just, it is what it is.” Lord Guan blurts it out.

“Lord Ameniah?”

“Yes?”

“Where are we heading to?”

“We will see right through it. Just hold on…” I try to keep their curiosity at bay, although I do want not to startle them out of the blue.

I can see them how calculating and cautious they are based upon the looks on their faces. They are the ones who are of the vital importance inside Kehina and secrecy is crucial to this point since we are at the enemy’s camp and especially, they hold a special role for the function of the kingdom… both in military terms and executive and judicial powers. At the quarters. Personal cabin of the captain. Captain Leonis of the Celamus family.

I knock on the door and right away, present myself: “Captain, we have guests. Pretty important ones.” with the inclusion of Lord Guan and Maison.

“Oh!,” he turns around with his chair, “Who are these fellas?” whereas the captain questions in a curious way.

“Captain Leonis, … they are my fellow Kehinan brethren.” I am trying to introduce them to the captain.

“Yes, I can see that. Who is the lady on your right? That is what I am asking.” he asks, referring to Maison.

“Oh yes! She is Maison.” as I expose my right hand while conferring her character to him.

“What does she do?” he follows it up with another question.

“Can I trust you with some sort of information, captain?” confirming, I ask of his mutual covertness, as for the clandestine is so of the importance nowadays.

“Well, go ahead. Technically, ‘we’ are running a business venture after all. So, if what you have thought is fair. I am all ears and will zip my mouth in the future after I hear the details, then. What we do here in this chamber, stays here.” he says in a calm mood. Finally, some trustworthy fellow.

“Well, she is the leader of our special force.” I reply.

“Special force to whom? To what country.” the captain asks, as he wants to dig deeper to the classified details of our state.

“She is the leader of the Verlassenes, Captain Leonis.” as I finish the introduction of Maison.

Maison then steps forward to meet the captain, as she offers her hand to shake hands with the captain. With a simple beckon, the captain stands off his chair to engage with the handshake. Maison utters: “It is nice to see you, captain ???” after all, Maison is quite aware not of the name of the captain, where the captain responds with: “It is Leonis. Captain Leonis Celamus. Likewise, Maison. I have the pleasure to be acquainted with you.” he then expresses himself with a cast of a smile on his face. “The honor is mine, Captain Leonis.” Maison replies and she wraps the hand of the captain with both of her hands.

“Well, this guy right here is one of the fellow lords of Kehina. Captain Leonis, this is Lord Guan.” I insert myself right away to introduce one final mystery of the identity, after the initial exchange salutations between Maison and Captain Leonis.

“Lord, - -... Lord-who?” the captain gives Lord Guan and I a squinted look. Hopefully, this act does not find too disrespectful for the likings of Lord Guan.

“My name is Guan, a part of the harem of Lady Anda. It is a pleasure to meet you, Captain Leonis.” Lord Guan counters with a smile. As far as I can see that he is trying to force himself to cast a bright smirk on his face despite all of the rude remarks made by the captain.

“Lord Guan- -... hmmm?” the captain then holds his chin, as he is trying to recall something, “Oh! The new one, eh? It is great to be friends with you, then!” where Captain Leonis initiates the gesture of meeting an acquaintance - a handshake.

“The new one?! Well, I guess if you insist, Captain. Likewise, Captain. Likewise. Pleasure is all mine.” Lord Guan takes the offered handshake and they bump their fist in an amicable fashion afterwards.
