After they were done with the report Kelvis and Artoria were talking with the officer that they came to the base with.
"Everything is complete, you are free to carry on with your day, I'll have a carriage ready for you in a few minutes"
"No, it's fine, we haven't been in the innermost circle for years, so we would like to look around"
Artoria responded to Officer Flajor, then she grabbed Kelvis hand and headed outside.
As they left, Officer Flajor made his way to the detainee interrogation room, outside of the door was another Officer standing by it.
"Officer Flajor Glesar, requesting access to detainee"
He said, while taking out of his pocket a badge showing it at the other person, to which the other officer nodded.
The door that was made entirely of metal was opened, Flajor walked inside though to get to the room there was another door, but this ine was just a normal one, then the first door was closed and locked.
The interrogation It was barren with only a table and 2 chairs that sat across from each other with a table in the middle and a light source hanging from the sealing.
The assassin that was brought to the room was chained down on the chair his eyes were open as he looked at the person walking in.
"It's you!""
"No shit, who else do you think I would be? You've caused a lot of trouble for the boss you know"
The breathing of the assassin grew ragged As panic set in his eyes, He knew something bad was going to happen to him.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please I-"
"Shut up. he has already decided your fate"
The assassin's eyes grew wide he looked at the person in front of himIn horror he knew what happened to those who failed, And all that's very simple thing is going to happen to him.
"We're done here, I just came to pass along his massage"
As Flajor was standing up a figure appeared rose from his shadow.
"What the f-"
The Shadow figure grabbed on to him, and he was pulled into it, but not just the assassin was also pulled down from his shadow as another figure had appeared behind him.
After an hour the officer that was on the other side, opened the metal door and walked to the second door, and nocked.
"Time is up, officer Flajor"
After a few minutes the door was opened and officer Flajor walked out, leaving the assassin still chained down on the chair.
--[SCENE CHANGE]--
Then with a simple gesture Artoria pulled back the sword sending it at Kelvis back, this caused him to turn his back to her to stop the sword.
Only for the string to disappear, and to receive a kick on the back by Artoria sending him forward, he quickly turned back to face Artoria who had now grabbed her sword.
"You've gotten rusty, love~"
"Yeah, yeah"
The he rushed forward, and another clash of swords began, and just as before the clashing became quicker and quicker with each strike.
As they were clashing, a shadow rushed across the arena and joined with Kelvis's own shadow, this caused him to jump backwards.
As the information from the shadow entered his brain Artoria walked closer to him.
"is it done?"
"Yes, the assassins has been taken along with a very useful second person, and the fakes were left in thier place.
"Let's go then"
Artoria and Kelvis, then placed back the sword to were they got them from, and walked out of the arena.
Both went to the changing area's, to leave the combat clothes that they used, and get the clothes the came in with.
Coming back from the changing area's, they then walked out of the building seeing the guard again.
"We'll be leaving"
"It was an honor meeting you both"
They nod, and began walking away from the arena, have walked far enough to avoid the guards field of vision.
They slip away in a space that was in between the two buildings, Artoria then grabbed on to Kelvis.
Kelvis's shadow then began to crawl up their bodies, as they began to sink into it.
After a second they back at the mansion, rasing from the shadow of a tree that was in the front.
They walked to the front and entered making a B-line for Samuel's office, having arrived there they enter closing the door behind them.
Samuel looked ip from the work that he was doing, looking at then both, he knew something was up.
"What did you do?"
"we need the key for the underground room."
Samuel eyes then widen realizing what they had done.
"I thought we agreed to let the M.P. deal with this."
Kelvis was about to reply but Artoria stepped forward and spoke first.
"They came after my son Samuel."
'damn it all' he thought as he sighed, there was nothing he could, he had no choice but ti give them rhe key.
He then reached down to drawer, grabbed the handle, flowing [MANA] through the handle making it glow, then sliding it opened.
I that drawer, there was nothing else but a black key, Samuel then grabbed the key, and handed it to Artoria.
"make it as quick as possible."
"We'll try"
Kelvis and Artoria walked out of Samuel's office walked to the stairs, well the side of the stairs, placing his hand on a specific part, the design markings of the wall began to glow.
a second later the wall opened reviling a passage way with stars going down, the went inside the wall closed back up.
The went down fhe stairs and reached a black door, put the key in a turning made the door open, inside the room there wee two chairs and some "equipment"
Artoria and Kelvis walked inside closing the door, then a shadow engulfed the two chairs, after a few seconds the shadow subsided.
Now in those chairs were sitting Officer Flajor Glesar, and the assassin, they both looked unconscious.
"Let's get work"
