"Don't say some stupid shit now of all times can you" Frawran say angrily for all the right reasons to be. we all stay silent for a bit before Ryan places a hand on my shoulder, "As much as we want to believe you for things this is too far" I let out a sigh, he is right about this going this far but she looks to similar to Merry.

"Other than that, do we actually know how the person is?" we shake our heads no as we had stepped out because of me, "You go in and replace me Frawran I will stay here with Alexandrea and watch over the Head Zaelyph" He looked at me for a second before walking by me and patting me on the shoulder.

Both Ryan and Jorgenson followed after him and Kathrine shortly after leaving me and Alexandrea, "Don't want to be in there because of how close they look?" She asked not moving from her position I stand opposite to her not giving an answer, "I will take that as a yes" she said a loud, she hummed for a bit and then stopped, "If you did not be there because of how close they looked you had felling for that person the-" "Just shut it" I said interrupting her felling anger for the first time in a little.

I don't know why I was felling anger at this particular moment but I just was, "I wish I could find that bastard and finish what I didn't" I say aloud taking me a moment to realize that I did, "Hmm, who is this particular person?" I turn my head to look at her even though she is still wearing a helmet I can she is smiling wanting in on the dirt, "Wait, don't answer let me guess" I wasn’t going to in the first place but this kind of side of Alexandrea is something.

Before I can say don't even try she started to list of names of people I did not even a thing about or who they were from people who star in movies to people who are famous artists I honestly could not help but smile, "Oh, I should have guessed this sooner how stupid of me" I Raise an eyebrow, "Those house Vilight people what about them was it them if so I will join you in having them experience the most painful death!" I chuckled a little, that caught her attention as she was laughing a bit to at what she was going on about.

"Thank you cheering me up Alexandrea it is a first in a while since I have had a bit of a laugh" I say feeling uplifted from being a mess really, "No need to thank me I always wanted people smiling and happy as can ever be" I look at her, "Then why join Free Court?" she sighs at my question and thinks on an answer, "I don't know but I am glad I did Leave the capital with people always talking about recent news of nobles and the Imperial court" she went quite for a bit struggling to talk, "My family was once high enough to be a part of the imperial court but due to other noble family not liking the idea of having a mid-rank family in they made rumours of how we were supporting the 'rebels' that wanted her highness off the throne" she looked up into the sky and so did I noticing that the blizzard was starting to lift.

the sight I saw was a sight I will never forget, "You know before this hellish snowscape people could view the stars as often as they wanted without having to wait for a really large or heavy blizzard to pass" I knew that fact I read it in one of the books I had when travelling with Jackson around the world. people in the countryside could view the stars so clearly that it was a regular thing to do on nights like this.

Silence continue between us for a while until we heard the Head Zaelyph Moving around loudly in the tent, "Head Zaelyph everything going alright in there?" Alexandrea asks but receive no answer back, "Head Zaelyph we are going to enter" I say also having no answer.

We both get ready to enter but we then hear an even louder bang which made us rush in to see if she was all right and when we did her tent was a mess, equipment and such being found all over the place with even her sleeping bag being ripped and torn.

"Those fuckers from the capital are going to be dead when father hears about this" A deep feeling of stress started to creep into my body, did she hear what about what I said to the other or was it a different matter?

"Head Zaelyph is everything fine?" Alexandrea asked having Rose bring her attention to us, "It is nothing that you clearance to know of so leave" she had said with hostility and we both did what she said and left.

"She really is a bitch" Alexandrea muttered, "Make me wonder what stick is up hers" Alexandrea continued although not having any response from me but she still continued on about how rose was entitled, I mean anyone would be to if they were born into a family of high rank, it is only natural.

After a long hour of hearing her disapproval of rose Ryan and the other came back, "If only she would stop being a predacious asshole" she continued finally about to end the rant, "Alexandrea you know the consequences for speaking badly about people higher rank then you" Ryan said making Alexandrea tense up a little.

"Figure anything out or well got anything useful for us to hear" Alexandrea asked beating me to the punch, "We need to head to the main HQ to continue as we have still got nothing" Ryan said letting out a sigh, "But we do have a name for who she is working with and what unit she is a part of" Jorgenson said, this peaked my interest a little. why would she say nothing about who she is but for whom she worked?

"Apparently she is a part of a new unit made by Jasmine Vilight to hunt us in particular" I got the answer pretty quick why and I am everyone else understood why to, it was threat and a really big one.

"We are going to have to report this to Snow Knight Jackson and she is going to be under our jurisdiction as well with how she is a part of group hunting us" replied Kathrine giving an answer to what to do with the girl, "Although we might have some protest we have all right to have her under out control" I then a question to how are going to get her back to main base as we are heading to main HQ sure but we do have our own base somewhere I know that as fact.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

"Well I am sure after we deliver our VIP to the main HQ we can then head to main base to have her questioned there" Ryan said letting out another sigh, "But how are we going to get her there without having her killed" the group went silent again with that question, people in free court and in the Snow Hunters they all have a low tolerance to traitors or people who work for the nobles.

"What are you all doing out here in front of my tent scram only one person is needed here not all of you!" Rose yelled giving us a little shock into action although it was quite dumb for us to right in front of her tent to discuss some stuff with what to do to our new captive.

"Frawran you are have post now the rest of us can rotate for watch but Arthor keep an eye on the girl" I turn to Ryan in a little bit of a daze after hearing what he said, "Did I stutter go on" I go to say something but have him pat me on the shoulder and open a com channel between the two of us, "Find out more of who she is I want you to use the skill of your of being easy to talk to, and keep her safe from any would be assassin" I grimace at my new role for the moment being a care taker of the girl, I then see a message from him 'Use any means to get information even if you have to say to betray us. I will also be watching through the helmet cam' my then grimace turned into a slight smile.

"Copy that captain I will try my best" I reply giving no objection to his order, "Oh and get some rest you been up most of the night" I wave him off and head to the tent where the girl is being kept.

I open up the flap to see her rubbing her hands together most likely trying to break the rope we had tied her with, I walk over to sighing to how much work I am going to have. she speed up the process when got closer to hopefully cut them so she could attack me, I walk behind her and grab her knife that we had not found.

I take off my helmet and sit down leaning against one of the support polls for the tent, "Feisty one are you not" I say while I start to disassemble my sniper for cleaning as firing the amount of times I did this night I was going to need to clean it.

"Why did you to choose to work with Jasmine Vilight?" The answer I got was silence and her just death staring me, "Why do you hate us? there let’s start with that" I saw her change from that of 'I will kill once I get from these ropes' to 'What question are you asking?' I already knew the answer to my question it was the same for all soldier who collaborated with the Nobles.

'You are rebels who are here to dethrone the empress and take control of the empire' that was the main reason nearly every person joined them except for the few who just wanted to fight for the sake of fighting, "I want revenge on the person who killed the person I loved" what an interesting reason to join the Nobels.

"How do you know the person you are trying to kill is a prat of the FCA?" She chuckled a little at my question, "Our unit has information about a lot people in the FCA except higher up and the Snow Hunter unit" so we have moles in the army and other units, she then realized the mistake she had made about telling me about how good there info is, "You are really good at getting people to talk otherwise sensitive things" she said after giving me the silent treatment.

"Who is the person you are trying to kill?" she stopped herself from laughing, "And what makes you think I will tell you who I am after" I look at her eye to eye, I am going to pull the biggest bluff in my life, "You know about how one of agents was able to get into this unit right" she stopped giving me the death stare and got even more information and some shocking Information at that, I held in my anger about having a spy in the unit, "I could be helping you to get to that person" she looked at me with uneasiness, I can bet she is thinking 'How does he know about the mole we had in the unit could he be the mole' and if that is what she is thinking I should have the playing cards in my hands.

Before she could speak a noise came from my helmet meaning either I was going to an earful from Ryan or I was having someone else give me the earful, I grab my helmet and sigh, "we have a problem" Ryan said with a worried tone, "We are to head to the Main HQ Tomorrow so I need to wrap up the questions got it" he sounded really stressed in that talk it must be what Rose was flipping her shit about, "Got it" as I go to take my helmet off I see another message from him, 'Keep going with the act of being the mole I will also report that we do have a mole, don't worry I don't think it is you just by how defensive you are with having Jackson being scrutinised' I smile a bit at that knowing that I have someone to back me up.

"I am going to have to ask you to make it quick on who you want to have dead they have just come across a problem" I say trying my best to make it sound as urgent as possible like I may have been found out or they have just received news of a mole, "Have you heard of a person going by the name of Robbert Louis he is the one of two people I want dead the other Jackson Nail" I grip my fist harder at hearing those two names Rob was the guy who had saved me from certain death two years ago, and having heard that Jackson was also a target.

it only confirmed my suspicion of who she was and was starting to second guess myself if it was merry or not. I let out a long sigh, "That is going to be harder than you think" I say wanting to dissuade her from wanting to kill the two, "I don't care if it is hard or not I just revenge" She snaps back making it clear she will do anything to get a chance at them, "Well if I am to be working with you at least give me your name" she looks at me with caution, "Merry Nail may I know yours" I look at my helmet and then back at her.

"Well captain I got what we wanted and it turns out I was right" not a second latter he burst into the tent but only to have me standing in the way of the two, "YOU FUCKING WITCH HOW DARE YOU BETRAY THE UNIT LEADER" he yells she has none of it and looks me in the eyes, "You lying bastard" she mutters.

"You asked for my name right well it is Arthor" she began to stare dagger at me once again, "thank you for the info Merry I have a question though just out of curiosity" I could tell she More tensed than ever, "How is Mark doing these days?" she immediately widened her eyes, "How do you know his name?!" she had snapped at the mention of Mark which is to be expected as we were always defensive of each other, "You just have to found out when you meet your uncle don't you Merry"

I stand and leave with my helmet and rifle along with Ryan behind me, I felt conflicted on so many things.
