"Okay, now gramps?"

"Yeah, I got to say, that plan really suits your style kid."

"Thanks for the compliment!"

"Cheh! I'm not complimenting you."

White ignored the old man and look at Isa.

"Okay, let's start this. Isa, where're the doubles."

"Just right outside Sir, I'll bring them in."

Isa left again to get the bodies that would become the doubles of the White and General Black.

"Are they my men?"

"Of course! There's no way I would kill others just for my plans."

"Then what about this massacre?"

"You know Gramps, I'm glad that you're thinking highly of me unlike back then but there's no way I could have planned this battle you know. Please don't give me that look like you don't believe."

While White is trying to explain himself, General Black is forming up a face of doubt which was easily read by White.

"This battle only turned out to be a great opportunity I promise you."

When White said that, General Black removed the doubt on his face, closed his eyes, and sighed before he opens again his eyes.

"Yeah, I also don't think you're that smart."

"Here they are Sir!"

Isa came back while dragging two bodies in each of her arms.

The bodies were two from the thousands of dead Empire soldiers who were killed just a moment ago.

They were still dressed in the Empire fashion but lacks their armor which is symbolic of the Empire's might.

"Eehh, where... Cover up their bodies Isa!"

White got angry at Isa when he brought up the dead bodies uncovered.

General Black misunderstood what happened and mock White based on what he saw.

"Heh, an old Empire General scared of dead bodies?"

"Shut up gramps, I'm not scared of them. I'm just feeling worse using other people for myself."

Though White tried to clear himself up. White's reason caused General Black to laugh even more loudly.

"Hahaha! But you do that all the time!"

"That's different!"

What General Black is talking about is the fact that most leaders of an army do use their soldiers to win which in the case of White.

There are also those generals who rose up on their position by using others. In the case of White. White gained a high position in the empire by leading his troops to victory and used those credentials to become part of the top brass of the Kingdom of Numero.

It was a joke which can be said to be true depending on who you told and ask.

"Pls wear these clothes mas- Sir."

"What's that?"

"That's the scout uniforms."

"Oh right, we're going to use horses. But wouldn't that raise our presence?"

"Yeah, there's also the fact that the distinct look of the scouts is popular in the whole kingdom"

Before going for the plan, White secretly spends so much of his time researching so many things about the Kingdom to help him in his plan to escape.

"But their more concentrated presence in the battlefield should allow us to blend in while we are still in this place so after we leave the battlefield, the plan is to change our set up again."

"What about our faces?"

"There's no way that the Kingdom's people know your face so it should all be okay."

"What about you two's face?"

"Mine is a bit complicated but I assure you that not many know my face."

"Isa on the other hand would leave with us though separately because of the plan. Even if they recognize her here, the case is going to be different for her than us."

"You really thought this out do you?"

"It's me after all! Okay, are you all ready?"

"Yeah!"

"I'm good Sir!"

After Isa readied herself, White suddenly inhaled so much air, and then...

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!"

...

"Isa, I got something to talk to about."

"Master!"

In the middle of the night, White suddenly came into the room of Isa opening the door without Isa's permission.

"I got to talk to you."

Before White came in, Isa is already on her way getting ready to sleep but because of the sudden entrance of White, she instantly moves to the place where she keeps her sword.

Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

When she saw her sword, she instantly did a sword stance facing the doorway.

But when she noticed the one who suddenly entered the room. She got shocked by the sight of the person who is at the door.

"What do you want to talk about Master?"

"Ha. Ha. Wait, let me catch my breath."

While walking to the room of Isa, White decided to just run because of the idea he just thought.

"I need you!"

"Eh.."

When Isa heard what White said. She instantly understood what her visitor is trying to say, and she knows that it is going to be important based on the fact that her past master came right through her door gasping for air. But still, even though she knows. She still chooses to go to the opposite path of progress.

"Can you repeat that... Mr. White?"

And so she said.

After saying that.

Her face becomes those of a doll that is void of emotion but in her eyes. Is the eyes of expectations.

Isa then proceeds to sheath down her sword without looking away at the person that is still on the door looking at his lips waiting for his answer.

White on the other hand look at her in doubt as he remembered that he even shouted what he wanted to say to her that it should be quite impossible for Isa not to understand. But still, even with the doubt in his head. He chose to repeat what he already said.

"Isa, I need you!"

Isa on the other hand still has that doll-like face. A face void of emotion.

"For what exactly... Mr. White?"

"Okay, okay. Listen to this Isa."

White closed the door and continue walking forward towards a chair inside the room of Isa.

Isa on the other hand proceeds toward the kitchen in her room to brew some tea.

"Listen to this Isa. It seems that we've been having quite the affair."

"Eeeeh? What does that mean?"

Isa answered with a monotone voice as she continued what she is doing.

"It seems that your soldiers thought that I've been sexually abusing you. Funny Right!?"

"What!"

Isa suddenly snap a ceramic glass that she was holding.

White then got shocked at what happened and instantly stand up and go towards Isa.

"Are you okay?"

White said as he tries to look at what happened to Isa.

"It's fine, Master. I was just startled by what you said."

As Isa said that, she picked up the broken ceramics and group them up inside the biggest part of the broken ceramics.

"How did they come up with that Mr. White?"

"I don't really know because I only heard it from them though even that guy Four seems to have been isolated because of it."

As White said that, he goes down on his feet to help Isa take some of the broken ceramic parts that are on the floor.

"So Isa, this is part where I am going to need you."

Isa tensed up when she heard what White said.

"I will need you to kill me."

...

"The plan is simple Isa, I just need you to pretend that you killed me and make use of the sympathy of people to hide it and cover it up..."

Because of the commotion that happened while White is drinking. He was able to gain an idea, a plan which would enable them to escape the kingdom without being suspected of escaping.

The plan is to fake a murder case in which a group of soldiers will become their witnesses of the supposed murder without them actually viewing the crime scene itself.

They would only know that the crime happened from Isa herself and through them listening to the room where the crime is happening.

If this is done successfully, it would create strong evidence that White died without actually them checking if he was really killed.

If the whole kingdom believed that White is dead, escaping the kingdom would become easier as no one would chase him believing that he's already dead.

To make the plan come true, Isa would first have to pick the people that would be the easiest to fool and invite them to the fake crime scene without their knowledge. This means that she has to make them go there without actually telling them that there would be a crime.

Then, Isa would perform the act inside a room where Isa and White will be isolated to the witness and the two will try to fool the soldiers outside the room.

After the fake murder is done. Isa then would inform the witness that the deed is done and would ask the help of them to let her escape the crime scene by pleading guilty of the crime and using the rumor that White abuses her as the reason why she did it.

She would then try to convince them to cover up the crime that she did through another made-up alibi. This is done to have a good reason why she has to leave the army and to be left alone by the people who will want to investigate the crime.

Isa's alibi as to why she needs to disappear is going to be that she became depressed that her only family which is White has died.

To better make the crime harder to investigate, they would burn down the building itself so that if someone investigates, they wouldn't be able to trace the corpse of White as it should already have burned with the building.

Last to the plan is to have an alibi for the death of White. Though the witness knows about Isa's motive for killing White, they have to keep it a secret so they have to find another one alibi as to why White died. This is the part where White is still unsure how to do it.

As Isa is listening to the plan of White to be done. Isa is already in her bed drinking a cup of tea.

White on the other hand is sitting on a chair that is facing backward to Isa. His front is supported by the back cover of the seat while his hand is crossed on the top of it.

"I'm really grateful that you included me in the plan-"

"Of course, there's no way I would leave you. Well, if you want to stay-"

As White didn't let her finish, Isa spoke in a higher and serious voice to White cutting him also off from speaking.

"Please let me finish Mr. White."

White got startled and let Isa continued what she's supposed to be saying.

"Okay, go on."

"I would definitely join in your plan if you want me to but I'm just curious."

"What is it?"

"Do you really have to banish into this world?"

The concern of Isa is genuine as for her, they can just leave and escape if they really wanted to. In her mind, she thinks that there is no need for the plan at all.

"Not really. But you should know about my case. Also, I noticed that they already infiltrated the Kingdom."

"That fast?"

"Well, I also gathered a lot of attention when I was blackmailed by that King."

When White said that, Isa suddenly remembered something.

"I see."

As Isa said that, a hint of sadness can be felt from her.

"I do feel like I'm being watch recently."

"SERIOUSLY?"

'Aren't they just pervert stalkers'

"I mean.. seriously, there are also those new ones that came from the Kingdom themselves."

"Should I deal with them?"

"No, didn't we learn our lesson about that already? They're probably just gonna find another one to fill in."

As White rejected her idea. The look on Isa's face became like those of a convinced person.

"Looks like there's no choice isn't it Master?"

"Well, you could also stay for the job. After all, you running away also can increase the sus-"

Before even white could finish, Isa already cut her off.

"I'll definitely join the plan!"

"Well.. I'm glad that you're enthusiastic."

As the talk about the plan ended, White drank all of his tea then...

"Oops, looks like I have to pee. Okay, Isa. Good night for now I guess."

As White stand up to go back, Isa got startled.

"Ah! Master, I do have a bathroom there. You could use it if you want."

"Ohhh, that's a saver. I'll use it then, thank you very much!"

"Uhhmm."

Isa nod in agreement."

...

"Whoooh, that was refreshing."

As White walks out of the bathroom. He saw Isa in front of the exit door, locking it.

"Isa?"

When White called for her. Isa rotates her face facing White with a doll-like face, void of emotion.

"Master. Looks like there are some people outside."

"Ehh? Seriously?"

"Master. I cannot let you be in danger. Please stay the night here."

".."

Because of the sudden suggestion of Isa. White suddenly has to think whether he will accept the offer of Isa or not.

He tried to consider every piece of the environment that is going to affect him, the negatives and the positives and tried to weigh everything before he makes his decision about the offer of Isa.

"Well, it's kinda dangerous going out in the night so I guess I would have to take your offer."

As White readies himself to sleep, he was struck by a sudden problem.

"Where do I sleep?"

And as Isa heard that. She answers him with a tone like the answer to the question is common sense.

"Of course I can't let Master sleep anywhere besides a bed."

White then looks at the bed of Isa and he noticed that it would indeed be possible for them to fit together but in his mind, he rejected the idea.

"But there's only one bed."

"It's okay Mr. White. I can't let my visitor be sleeping in an uncomfortable place."

"You're going to pull that to me now?"

Isa then answered him with.

"Then, Master. Didn't we use to share a bed?"

"That's even worse!"

As White continued to refute her, she only replied pointing at the bed and saying.

"Mr. White, get on the bed."

She then proceeds to walk towards the lamp that illuminates the room.

"I'm going to turn off the lamp."
