When Lucien returned to the Tokyo the first place he went to was his estate to tell Itori to pack her things up so he could be sent her to the Blood Island because the time in this Low-Grade World is already coming to an end."My dear wife, when you arrive at the Blood Island you would be immediately swarmed up my mother so good luck and also, from now everywhere you will go, you will be guarded by several knights and also some female attendants."
Said Lucien to Itori after he arrived at to his estate, there were many things that he needed to tell her especially that from now on, she couldn"t even leave without whole ceremony guarding her, composed of at least two knights, the squad of Magitek Infantry Soldiers and female attendants. This was all because she was the wife of the Crown Prince of the Holy Niflheim Empire. If she were to be pregnant with a child, she was being guarded by Holy Imperial Knight all-time non-stop.
Such strict rules about guards and so on, were mainly because she still wasn"t Sacred Devourer Ghoul and more importantly her fighting strength was in reality zero. Even his mother was constantly guarded by someone and to hone she hated it as she couldn"t do whatever she wanted. Still, she spent most of her time on the frontlines in the Blood Island because she was one of few Viscount-Ranked cultivators of the Holy Niflheim Empire.
"Yes, yes."
Nodded Itori with her head and then she went to pack up all her things she would take with her to the Blood Island, even though she didn"t have many things to take with her, it would still take some time to prepare everything.
As she went to pack up her belongings, Lucien went to the courtyard to find his loyal mercenary subordinate, codenamed Darkwalker to give him the final instructions about the mission. After a short time of walking through the estate, he finally found Darkwalker in the training ground together with several other mercenaries.
"Attack and slaughter as many of branches of Commission of Counter Ghoul, a month from now exactly. Especially kill all ghoul investigator, personnel of the CCG and everyone related in the 20th Ward to lure whole Commission there."
Lucien"s plan was simple and he wanted also, enjoy it, by creating mess and chaos. He wanted to lure out as many of ghoul investigators as he can, so he ordered Darkwalker and his mercenaries to start systematically killed every ghoul investigator in 20th Ward. This was ward was a bit special, as he knew that if Commission of Counter Ghoul came there in big numbers, then Anteiku Cafe would also move, though he didn"t care about Anteiku, but rather about old man Yoshimura, the Owl. He would be a good distraction.
=============================================
In a meanwhile, Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory
Mado Akira was currently at the training compound of the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory sparring with Zelilios with the new sword he gave her. It was one of the ancient katanas that Lucien obtained in the ruins of the Shi Xue Clan and because Akira didn"t have a suitable weapon he gave her one of those katanas. They were many times better than those lousy quinques.
During this one year and something, there were many things that happened in Akira"s life. The first one was that she was saved by Zelilios from certain death in the Yasuhisa Mansion and started living in this weird place called Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory. She learned many things about Sacred Devourer Ghouls and also about Holy Niflheim Empire.
She often trained with Zelilios because as he said that she was his own responsibility and the apparently the man she knew as Crown Prince of the Holy Niflheim Empire, Lucien Etras di Aeon didn"t care about that she was practically living here.
Actually together with Zelilios, they were creating a perfect duo, as both of them rarely talked and all the time focused on doing something. For Zelilios it was training his spearmanship and for Akira, it was collecting various weapons and also, she has begun to learn about Magitek Weapons. Even now was her room in the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory filled with various weapons, Magitek Weapons, and other weird weapons. There were even a lot of quinques of top quality from all over the world.
Here in the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory the only person who she could talk to was in reality only Zelilios as he spent most of his time here, in the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory training or cultivating. Crown Prince of the Holy Niflheim Empire, Lucien Etras di Aeon was always out somewhere doing something for the family or Empire what she heard, but even when he was in the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory he wasn"t something that could be called a very talkative person, he usually either trained, cultivated all the time. When he wasn"t doing these two favorite and beloved activities he was in the library of the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory and reading some books.
"You are getting better and better Akira, even though I think this sword doesn"t suit you too much. Perhaps some other type would be better?"
Said Zelilios as they finished their sparring season and both of them went to sit down and get some rest. Zelilios in reality used to spar a lot with Akira, there were several reasons for that, but main ones were that Akira wanted to learn how to fight more effectively against her enemies and improve herself and Zelilios enjoyed the spars with her and also, he held some affection for Akira as she was attractive woman and also, very intelligent one.
"Did you think about the matter I mentioned the last time?"
Asked Zelilios as he looked at Akira with certain uncertainty in his eyes. The topic they talked about the last time was very sensitive, especially for humans. As Lucien told Zelilios when he saved Akira, he didn"t care about the reason, she was his own responsibility, whatever he saved her for, but if he wanted to take her with him, she must become the Sacred Devourer Ghoul without question.
