Suspicious silhouettes were flying over the dark capital, a sign of the beginning of nighttime activity for those who were referred to as nocturnal creatures, jumping one by one the roofs of buildings in the capital alternately make their movements completely invisible to the residents who move below.
With one definite goal now they have managed to surround the entire area of the royal palace in front of which there are already several Knights accompanied by Mira dab Some Magicians who were accompanied directly by Kira.
"Your Majesty the rebels are already in sight... Together with the Twenty mercenaries who surrounded the palace and also their other members who were moving towards the palace through the city as his number of them was no less than 80 people..." One of the tracking teams gave Arthur his report which instantly gave them orders right after Zen left to raid the base.
"Enter the magicians to make lighting in the whole area of the palace... If you need to ask for help from the warrior Aoi Hana who has the light magic attribute, make sure that there is no place for the assassins to hide in the dark... After that gather all the fighters in the throne room..." Arthur stood up from where he was sitting and walked out of the room immediately.
"Your highness, I understand..."
Moments after ordering all the fighters to gather, Arthur and the warriors along with Luna and Elize gathered inside the Throne room and a tense atmosphere enveloped everyone, the situation outside is very bright when the fire and light become one and provide enough lighting for one area of the palace.
Residents were also evacuating themselves when the rebels arrived in the capital and attacked towards the palace, leaving the area of the city as quiet and visible as the night before.
"Thank you for getting together with the fighters so soon, sorry for calling you so suddenly... But right now the kingdom is in need of your help..." Arthur, who was not sitting on his throne seat, walked down and stood among the fighters still confused by the situation they were in.
"Dad, can you tell me what's really going on... Why so many lights around the palace..." Elize asked who was watching her father's panic.
"Listen to me now and don't panic, the palace has been besieged by the rebels, numbering about 80... And among them are some asassins..." Arthur was brief.
"The rebels..."
"He meant the one who attacked the academy yesterday..."
"This time it's what they want..."
"The zen... Where Zen is now the father" Elize reacts by walking through one room hoping to find a Zen figure with them.
"Elize I asked you not to panic..."
"How could you possibly be that calm... Zen is currently working on"
"Elize!!!" Arthur shouted cutting Elize's sentence.
"Daddy, you look calm... What a tone Dad's talk sounds so casual..." The question was not at all expecting an answer from Elize.
"Dad also knew that Kanade Zen was the target of the attack this time, and he had also anticipated this... Therefore now he was going to do something very important, something that only he could do... And he also requested that you all be able to help him indirectly..." Reciprocity.
"What he asked for..." Elize straightened her saliva then spoke softly and was a little scared by her father's scream.
"He's going to stop this rebellion, so you're all asked to protect this kingdom..."
"That means he's..."
"...."
Elize turned around then walked quickly towards the exit without saying anything, and none of the fighters were holding her back or blocking her.
"Where are you going Elize?" Prevent Arthur in haste Gesa after witnessing Elize's footsteps that are like ready to run.
"Obviously, go catch up with Zen..." Elize did not stop her steps and continued walking towards the exit.
"Stop Elize your power is needed to protect the palace..."
"On the appeal of the palace... The existence of a hero like Zen is very important, if something happens to him then the kingdom will also be affected... Besides, the fighters here are strong people... They can definitely protect the palace..." Elize kept walking regardless of any words from Arthur who was still trying to prevent him from leaving.
"Wait Elize..."
"Mr Princess forgive my actions... But I won't let you go..." Nania emerges from behind the door that Elize opened and prevents her from exiting.
"What did you say Nania... Why are you blocking me... Get out of the way" said Elize who of course knows Nania as Zen's Personal Servant while at the palace.
"I'm sorry once again but I won't let you mess up all the plans that Zen has made..." Nania who did not step aside at all began to show resistance.
"Nania you know your position... I am the Princess of the Palace and you are a servant... You have no right to arrest me..."
"I know the Princess... But all of this is for your good and Zen's sake... I will not protest if after this I will be fired or in the law... For the sake of Zen's safety I'll do anything..."
"Why are you so adamant about not letting me go..."
"I'm sorry if I sound presumptuous, but other than because I love Zen and don't want to see you and Zen together, I'm also doing this for your own safety and Zen's, He had guessed all this because it was before he left he asked me to arrest you... I was a little upset when he said he didn't want to see you hurt because of following him so I'm holding you here... Therefore princess, I beg you not to make the Zen Plan fall apart just because of your selfishness to continue with him... It's all for the sake of the kingdom..."
"And the other one that Zen wanted me to get to, he told me to trust him... And he also believes in you... Like that..."

Untouched Territory
Unknown Time
"Sir Zen is this place... Wouldn't it be too big and magnificent to see the surrounding environment..." Daven who was amazed by the building like a mansion with two floors was standing with a gaze that was very amazed at the grandeur of the building that they had first seen shortly after emerging from the Spatial Gate that was in the the royal sewer.
"Yes... Compared to the royal palace it is more like a garbage bag made of gold but in a pile of ordinary trash..." Reply Zen who seems to have gotten used to the splendor.
"The palace...? What Zen's saying..."
"Just forget it for now, I'll explain later... Now I'm gonna explain what you and I are gonna do here..."
"OK..."
"This first is the enemy base that's after me..."
"Sister Zen was targeted by someone... How is that possible..." Daven with a face of disbelief muttered smallly following the volume of Zen's voice.
"Well I committed some crime just take it that way... Our second mission now is to exterminate everyone in this building... And then save someone... Understood?"
"Yes yes... I understand the point is we just need to kill it... It was an easy job..."
"You just killed a few people, so don't be so confident... We don't know what the power of the people in there is so stay alert Daven..."
"Good Zen"
"Then let's go in..." Invite Zen then walk first into the area of the mansion, approaching the front entrance and not one bit lower his vigilance.
"As I thought, there's nobody here... I hope they really manage to take care of the rest..." Zen Gumam.
The inside of the mansion was so bright that Zen felt that this was part of their plan.
Until when they were in a long corridor by whose side there was not a single room or decoration available.
"Welcome, at our headquarters... The intruders..." Said a man who appeared quite far from the front, his voice echoed and reached the ears of Zen and Daven of course it made Daven feel alert.
a man wearing a thin pair of glasses and long hair in the back pigtail walked closer to Daven and Zen then stopped when it was a few meters in front of them.
"My name is Edward and I'm Regurd's right-hand man... Let me welcome you..."
"Hooo's... So a plain-looking guy like you is his right-hand man... I can't believe..."
"Because I have never met, may I ask what the names of the two of you are?" Edward had no regard for Zen.
"Don't tell him Brother Zen..." Daven forbade Zen to answer Edward's request.
"The zen... So you're Kanade Zen by which I mean well..." Edward who heard her began to draw conclusions.
"Good Work Daven..." Zen gives a thumbs up with a sour face.
"Zen and Daven are once again welcome to our base... And in this way I'll be your first entertainment..." Edward opened his glasses and kept them behind the uniform he was wearing, revealing the color of his eyes that turned red instantly.
"Not yet what's up against something difficult... Goddess Fortuna fucking..."
