"Abel.. Eluya. Help me.. This man tied me up and refused to set me free." Iliana said with a concerned look, still trying to struggle to get herself free but nothing seems to be working.

The office was silent with Abel staring into the man's eyes. Without a single word said, the strange man removes the blindfold from Iliana's eyes before speaking.

"Listen to me, three of you.. The Corp of Seven is going to set up a search parameter in Luminae by tomorrow.. 5th and 6th. Both of you need to leave the town." The strange man said before putting two files on the table and stepping back. Allowing Eluya to remove the tape from Iliana's hands and helping her stand up.

"Those two files have information on two cases.. One is a simple case in the City of Necroma, and the other is for the human lady.. Information and development on the Case of Alisa Ranberr."

Iliana's eyes widened at the man's statement, quickly picking the second file and giving it a quick read. Abel and Eluya stayed silent, waiting for Iliana to give them a sign of some sort.

After a minute, Iliana finally closed the file. Her pupils were dilated and her lips were curled up in a unmistakable smile. "These are genuine.."

Then Iliana turned to look at the man. "What do you want for all of this?"

"Consider this a favour.. Something which you'll have to pay in the near future. But for now, 5th and 6th should leave this town ASAP. Otherwise there will be a massacre." The strange man said with a concerned tone.

Eluya nodded at the man, finally recognising him before looking at Abel. "This man is the 14th one. Codename: Orion from the Blue Constellation Covenant.."

"Oh.. so that's why he seemed familiar." Abel spoke, finally remembering the guy from a cross-covenant meeting a century ago.

"Hey, but why do you have a barcode underneath your eye?" Eluya asked calmly.

All of which confused Iliana but she didn't question it since the second case was what she was focussing on.

"It doesn't matter for now. I'll tell you that later. But Inspector Stailor will help the human lady in her case.. But we need to leave now, or the town will be a wasteland." 14th spoke with a hint for fear in his voice.

"Alright.. I understand. Give us 15 minutes." Abel requested calmly before turning to Iliana. "Iliana. Apply for the car's insurance and Business Number Plate. I'll be taking the old one for now." He spoke calmly, holding Iliana's hand to shake her out of the trance.

"Oh.. ahh.. Yes, of course. You can leave that to me." Iliana trembled over her words as she spoke, though agreeing to Abel's requests.

"Eluya.. Pack up a suitcase for us. 3 pairs each.. I'll prepare the car for the journey." Abel asked with a smile, picking up the case file from the table and walking into the garage to park the new car in and pulling the old car into the driveway.

Once Abel was done with preparing the car, he went inside the office, handing the keys of the new car to Iliana and patting her shoulder. "Relax.. You've finally found something to work on." Abel spoke frankly.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

Iliana nodded at Abel's frank suggestion. Just then Eluya came down stairs with the suitcase in her hand.

"The suitcase is all set. Three pairs each and basic needs for the journey." Eluya spoke with a smile before walking closer to Iliana, whispering in her ear with a mischievous smile. "Give your favourite man a kiss.. We are going away, for at least... 3 weeks."

Iliana's cheeks turned red at Eluya's suggestion but she did as Eluya suggested, leaning closer to Abel and pecked his cheeks before whispering in a low voice. "Take care of yourself."

"Okay.. You too." Abel said calmly before patting her head.

"If you're done with romance, then we need to leave, 5th." 14th spoke with a sarcastic smile.

"Yes, Yes. Let's go now." Abel spoke calmly, taking the suitcase from Eluya's hands as the three of them made their way out of the office.

Iliana and Eluya waved goodbye to each other and Eluya winked at Iliana before closing the office door, leaving Iliana alone.

Once the three were inside the car, Abel in the driver's seat, Eluya in the passenger seat and 14 on the backseat. 14 spoke with a calm look. "My disguise is Arbor Aurwisch.. Address me as Arbor for the time being. I'll address you two as Abel and Eluya."

"Sure, 'Arbor'.." Eluya said with a giggle as she opened the case file while Abel drove them out of the town via the Eastern Exit.

The drive was silent until the three of them exited the town. The Policemen at the exit checked their documents before letting them leave the town.

Once they were sufficiently away from the town, Eluya sighed. "So.. What does this 'Corp of Seven' do, 14?" She asked after closing the file. The case wasn't anything out of the ordinary as it was mostly just an excuse to get Abel and Eluya out of the town.

"I think you two saved a vampire on the way to Aslahan, right? And call me Arbor.." He spoke without a hint of emotion in his eyes.

"Yes, we did. It was my sister." Eluya clarified, waving her hand and smiling.

"Well, the Major General in-charge of Aslahan was angry, due to the prison break not long ago and the 'save' you two made." 14 spoke before noticing the misplaced smile on Eluya's face.

"Don't tell me, the prison break was you too.. Oh my God, you two are still troublemakers.." 14 sighs. He was clearly disappointed.

"Well.. It wasn't that bad. Was it?" Eluya asks, laughing softly.

"It was.. Apparently the general tortured and killed multiple prisoners in Aslahan and now resorted to calling the Corp of Seven. It's a special task force made by the Emperor's chosen warriors. The Seven members have taken down the 2nd Proxy of Obrax."

The statement of the seven members taking down Proxy of Obrax, the God of Flame, War and Plague took Abel and Eluya by surprise.

Just then, they could feel a terrifying Aura surrounding Luminae.

"And that must be the seven sealing the borders. Since their arrival was mostly secret, people are stuck where they are.. The investigation will have ended by the time we come back so don't look back." 14 spoke calmly, feeling the aura weighing on him.

"Will Iliana be safe?" Abel asked with a concerned tone. His eyes fixed on the road ahead but he could not keep his concern hidden.

"Yes.. That Woman isn't related to any faith so she won't even come up on the radar. Even if she did, the case she has.. is already a distraction for her. Or should I say, it's her motivation." 14 spoke calmly as the terrifying Aura slowly diminished as Abel drove further and further away.

Meanwhile back at EIA Agency, Iliana was sitting on the sofa, rereading the case file. Her eyes were welling up with tears as she read it again. This was a surefire evidence of the innocence of the Ranberr Family.

"Mama.. Papa.. Sister.. I'll get you the justice you deserve." Iliana muttered to herself, while crying. Her tears falling on the floor like pearls.

Iliana clenched her chest with happiness as she finally had the chance to present the case in the Court. She could finally give justice to the Ranberr Family.

"I.. Alisa Ranberr.. will finally get the stain off my family name and give them what they deserve.. I will give you three a proper burial alongside her. I will never be able to call myself Alisa but I'll always remember you." Iliana said to herself, clenching the hem of her shirt.
