Morning came quicker than expected leaving Lambert grumbling as he slowly got up of the bed, disentangling himself from Aura and Tosca, luckily it didn"t wake them and they quickly found each other under the blankets, continuing to sleep while hugging each other.

Lambert walked towards a nearby table and started placing some books down on it, a stack of five ma.s.sive thick books encased in old leather bindings, on top of it he placed an envelope which read "To Tosca". Lambert then placed another envelope next to the stack of books that read "To Aura", after finishing he gave the cuddling girls a final look before leaving the room.

Lambert has been making preparations for some time, he was planning to do some traveling again but needed to first settle Masaomi and Cleria"s issue, with that settled he could finally continue with his plans, he just needed the right moment to leave in which he wouldn"t have to deal with a driveling Aura.

"Maybe I"m just being a b.a.s.t.a.r.d....meh" Lambert thought as he continued on leaving the palace.

Unexpectantly he ran into Yasaka on his way, she was currently holding a little baby in her arms while soothingly singing to her. Hearing somebody approach she looked up and saw Lambert, seeing him she gave him a smile.

"Good morning."

She greeted him as she approached.

"Good morning to you to Lady Yasaka..." Lambert greeted back before turning his attention to the little child, "...and who might this little treasure be?" he asked while staring at the cute little baby in Yasaka"s hands.

"This is Kunou, my daughter," Yasaka said as she stared at Kunou and stared affectionately at her. Kunou had little golden hair and fox ears on her head and while Lambert couldn"t really see it as she was covered in a blanket he knew she also had nine fox tails just like her mother.

"She is beautiful," Lambert said with praise as he gave the girl a good look, she was currently sleeping giving her a peaceful look.

Suddenly lamberts eyes squinted and turned cold, he placed his hand on Yasaka"s shoulder and before she could react to his sudden movement, he pushed her forward, causing her to look at him in confusion on for her face to become pale as a blade cleaved down just where she was standing a moment ago.

Seeing that his attack missed the a.s.sa.s.sin made a move to retreat, but right in front of Yasaka a blinding flash of white light came for a nanosecond before it died down, the a.s.sa.s.sin still in its movements of making an escape fell to the ground as his legs and arms fell off.

Yasaka stared in shock as the a.s.sa.s.sin finally interpreted the pain he was feeling and started screaming, standing right next to the a.s.sa.s.sin was Lambert, currently holding a pure white sword that had a light white flame dancing on the blade.

Yasaka didn"t know when and where Lambert got the sword she didn"t know when he struck the a.s.sa.s.sin, luckily she figured out why the a.s.sa.s.sin wasn"t bleeding to death, his wounds were cauterized by intense heat, causing the wounds to be sealed shut.


Although Yasaka was shocked she still manage to rain in her emotions quit quickly, before calling out.

"Guards, there is an a.s.sa.s.sin in the palace!"

Not that she needed to since the screaming a.s.sa.s.sin was making enough noise to reach every guard stationed within a few hundred meters. They soon stormed into the hall surrounding Yasaka for protection with Lambert in one circle and the a.s.sa.s.sin in another.

"Take him away for interrogation, I want to know who wants me dead!"

Yasaka ordered the guards and they complied, next she turned to Lambert and her face melted into one of grat.i.tude.

"Thank you, Lambert- San, if it wasn"t for you then..."

She couldn"t continue with her words as she thought of the consequences if she didn"t have Lambert there with her when the a.s.sa.s.sin struck.

Lambert nodded and let go of the sword in his hand, making it finally show its true form as it faded into light elements. Yasaka was again shocked at the sight as she never would have thought that the sword that Lambert used that looked like some sort of powerful legendary sword was actually just condensed light elements.

"I would advise you to keep your guard up from now on Lady Yasaka, it was luck that I was at your side today, had I known things were this dire I would have given you more than just that token," Lambert said with a solemn expression.

He held out his hand and within was a normal looking bronze necklace.

"Take this it will help protect you to some degree"

Lambert said as he gave her a [Amulet Of Protection (+10)] which would erect a shield around her and protect her from a specific amount of damage.

Yasaka, nodded her head as she took the necklace, she felt ashamed for letting her guard down while in the palace while playing with Kuoh, she had thought that she would be safe here and no one would attack her, how wrong she was and very nearly paid dearly for her hindsight.

"Thank you Lambert-Sama, if you need anything don"t be afraid to ask"

Yasaka said, she was really ashamed, taking the amulet just like that, but she had to do it not just for her sake but for the sake of her daughter.

"No, need. I will be leaving today so please take care of Aura and Tosca, they will be quite surprised at my absence since I didn"t tell them. I left them a letter each and some materials I want Tosca to learn, but you will have to bear the burden of an overdramatic Aura so... Sorry"

Lambert said as he scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"You leaving so soon?" Yasaka said in surprise as disappointment flashed in her eyes.

"No need to mope like that, I still have a lot to do so please excuse me."

Lambert said as he left the palace then the yokai area returning to everyday Kyoto. Wandering the streets Lambert made his way towards a temple, a Shinto temple to be exactly where he has found out the Himejima clan to be.

"I hope I am not too late to prevent a tragedy, I may not like changing the course of this world"s history, but this... I can not look away from such tragedy done to innocence."

As Lambert took a shortcut through an ally way he slowly started transforming, his hight reducing to one 1.8 meters while his muscular frame became lieth, his old scared appearance disappeared replaced by an ethereal looking face, that was so beautiful it would haunt most women wet dreams for the rest of there lives was they to look at it. The scent of trees and freshly plowed dirt came from him as he kept walking forward his Forest green eyes shining with advanced intellect and sagely wisdom.

With a snap of his fingers, his too-large attire immediately disappeared and transformed into a pair of sneakers a jean and hoody which he uses to cover his face and long pointy ears.

Mythandar looked towards his destination, a complex of buildings some hundred meters away.

"Worry not, I will keep your family from tearing apart," he thought he could vaguely make out scenes of the saddened Akino and distraught Baraqiel from the anime he watched some billion years ago.

With a thought, he disappeared from the ally way, s.p.a.ce twisting for a moment before becoming still.
