Chapter 4 - White Rose

"Welcome to the White Rose Miss Ace. This is your new home now." Said Pricilla. As Pricilla's girls bow to Lorel's arrival in their base downtown. "Is this everyone in the group?" Said Lorel. "Some of them are out in the field right now Miss Lorel don't worry they'll join us by tonight." Said Pricilla as Lorel walks around the base with her.

"I'm the Head Maid representing the White Roses. You should know me by now, Miss Lorel how's the trip?" Said Pricilla. "It was fine despite nuisance of having to pack up things." Said Lorel while they walk Pricilla hands Lorel an envelop filled with their current person of interest. "This man will be the turning point of mankind. Alex Harrison, an interesting man from what we've dug up about him. He had no records of anything, nothing. No relatives, no parents, and only says that he is a Lumberjack that is working under the Domain of Castle. We got nothing on him." Said Pricilla as they walk into her office.

"Isn't this a bit suspicious that he is the man responsible for turning this world around?" Said Lorel. "Yes, but since our Head Mistress has never been wrong this man should be the real deal. We've been tracking him with our remote division and seems like he has been leading a rebellion in Domain of Heretic." Said Pricilla as she sips some tea. "What is he doing there leading a rebellion?" Said Lorel.

"Oh, Miss Lorel you know the story already you should know by now. That a person with a special title will be the one who can withstand the power of the Apostles and are born to kill those said Apostles." As Pricilla continues to sip tea while discussing. "So this guy is the real deal?" Said Lorel. "Not yet, seems like from our intel he hasn't activated his title yet. And yet he can already take down powerful enemies." Said Pricilla.

"Sounds like this guy is really it huh... Interesting..." Said Lorel. "I know right, anyways I heard you'll be working hard for this one. I have a mission for you to conduct for me." Said Pricilla as she closes curtain blinds as she opens up an envelop filled with confidential info. "This is from our reconnaissance party that had returned from 3 months of infiltration. This is about the Cult, I think you already have been investigating this group of people right? I heard you were brought to an operation by yourself which ended up in a stalemate." Said Pricilla as Lorel nods with hesitation.

"Anyways back to topic. From our findings from the 3 months they infiltrated seems like they're planning more than what we're anticipating. From also your findings with the weapons cache and some documents about intervening the Apostles has been taken into account so thank you for that Miss lorel." Said Pricilla as both of them shuffle through the paper work.

"Also from what we've learned as well is that they're planning to make artificial humans. Using Titles as catalysts, sounds rough from the looks of it but there has been fucked up things these people have done. Since Titles are embedded to the person its connected to you know that right? You know what I'm getting right?" Said Pricilla as Lorel tries not to show a disgusted face while reading the documents.

"Anyways Head Maid... What do you want me to do?" Said Lorel as she places the documents back in the envelop. "On to business as usual huh Miss Lorel. I like your style, I'll have you and Miss Emily, Grendel, and Camille for this mission. The details are gonna be discussed later but here's the gist of it I need you four to infiltrate their experiment facility just by the border town near the gate of Apostle Adroit's domain. After that take samples from their vials, and take photos of their current research if you can't retrieve them. If you do this successfully I will give you a copy of records you've been always wanting to read from the Archival Division." Said Pricilla.

"So you're trying to bribe me with my history huh. Isn't that unprofessional Head Maid Pricilla?" Said Lorel. "No, it's not Miss Lorel. It's just what you've always wanted right? I'm not forcing you to do this operation but simply giving you this document since they refuse you to have it from their archive. We have a copy of it so you can read it right now if you want before you commence your mission." Said Pricilla as she places that document on Lorel's side of the table.

"When are we gonna deploy for the mission?" Said Lorel while staring at the document. "2 days from now... Are you gonna read it? I mean it's right in front of you." Said Pricilla as she pours more tea. "Sure..." As Pricilla begins to read the document titled 'Maids of Valor: The Records of Notable Maids of the Maid Brigade'

"Good take your time Miss Lorel. You still have a lot of time... Trying to find once self is indeed important. It's time you find out the truth of this brigade sooner or later Miss Lorel you'll understand why we've been masterless..." Said Lorel as she sips her tea while looking at the window overseeing the people walking in the streets.

"Head maid Pricilla can I keep this document for my own research?" Said Lorel while flipping through page. "Why it was made as per your request. Of course you can keep it Miss Lorel but you need to remember you'll be doing a mission 2 days from this day okay?" Said Pricilla as Lorel nods and leaves the office.

"That young lady is what making the Head Mistress gets so acted up." Said Lorel as she fixes her table from the documents laid out on it.
