Now, in those chairs were sitting Officer Flajor Glesar and the assassin, they both looked unconscious.
"Let's get to work."
Artoria extends her arm forward, then from the palm of her electricity sparks, and shoots out, hitting the two who were unconscious tied on the chairs.
Both of their eyes spring open as the electricity courses through thier body's shocking their senses awake.
"Oh, look honey, they're awake."
As the shock subsided the both looked in the direction of the voice, and immediately after focusing on Kelvis's face, Flajor spoke up.
"You're Kelvis! Kelvis The Re-."
"If you want to keep your life for a little longer, I suggest not to finish that sentence."
Look directly into Kelvis's eyes, Flajor senses started screaming to run away, and yet his body was paralyzed with a type of fear that he had never felt before.
As this was going on, the assassin had tried to end their life by ingesting the poison that kept inside a fake tooth, but when he went to bite down, he noticed that the tooth was removed.
"Looking for this?"
The assassin turned to Artoria, who was holding a glass container with the tooth inside that she had swiped from the officers.
"The contain one of the most potent and deadly poisons I have ever seen, and you are going to tell me where you got and who you got it from."
"I've endured all forms of torture. There is nothing you can do to me talk."
She then walked closer, placing a hand on his head, grabbing his hair, tilting his head to look up at her. She then took a small pill looking object from her pocket and made him swallow it.
"Yes, well, with normal torture methods, there is only so much pain a person can endure before they pass out or just die."
A second, after swallowing the pill, the assassin started to feel irritations and discomfort all around his body.
"But the torture that I am going to make you experience is nothing that you've seen before. You will feel the most excruciating pain you have ever felt, but it won't be fiscal, so you won't die from it."
Then, the discomfort started turning into pain from every part of the bady, even nerve, every bone.
"When someone passes out from pain, it's because body overreacts to certain triggers, be it pain, blood, etc, and the heart starts slowing down."
Now, the assassin breathing grew heavy as he tried his best not to scream out in pain and agony, as every part of his body felt like it was being burnt and stabbed at the same time.
"And that is where I come in, I'll keep your heart healthy and beating, so even at the most extreme pain, you'll stay conscious."
The Artoria places a gag inside the assassins mouth to keep him quiet. All this was witnessed by Kelvis, who was smiling, and the Flajor who looked horrified.
"Now then, where were we, Mister Officer? Oh, right, you were going to tell me everything you know about my son's assassination attempt."
Then he grabbed the officer's head and turned it to look at the assassin who was eyes were bloodshot and whose entire body was shaking.
"Unless you want to experience that, but think it's I your best interests, so I recommend you start talking before I become inpatient."
Flajor looked at the assassin who had now fallen on the ground with his chair thrashing around pain.
"I'll talk, I'll talk!"
"Smart choice."
Kelvis then turned back around, facing him.
"Now, please enlighten me on why your boss went after my son."
"It's because you, son, interfered with business and caused us to lose a lot of expensive merchandise."
Flajor answered truthfully. He did want to go through the same fate as his partner is going through.
"He five years old, what could have he done?"
"I don't know."
Kelvis wasn't convinced
"I swear! I don't know anything more! I was just told that nothing more! you have to believe!"
Flajor desperately screamed out, trying to convince Kelvis.
"Alright, alright, just shut up."
Flajor, quiet down and didn't make a sound
"Tell me, who is your boss?"
"Valar, it's Valar Mardias."
Kelvis didn't know how to react to what he had just. It was the King's brother. Why would he do something like this?
"If you're lying, you're committing a crime against the Crown."
"I'm not lying! it's really him! he uses the royal family name to get away with a lot of shady shit like him."
Flajor used his head to point at the assassin who was still on the ground, but he wasn't thrashing, but his body was still shaking.
"He's from Kastel. He was let through the border because of Valar."
Kastel is a City State that broke away from Mardias a hundred years ago. It was taken over by a mercenary group during a war. Mardias was fighting against the neighboring Empire.
The then King did try to reclaim Kastel after the war had finished, but it was for not, the mercenary group held dearly to the territory, and worse the lead of the mercenary had ties with the Empire, and was able to get the Emperors support.
Unfortunately, the effort turned out to be too expensive from the Kingdom, so after just a year, Mardias relinquished all claims to Mardias
"Do you know where Valar is?"
"No, I don't, but i know where will be."
"Where?"
"The Royal Palace, the prince and princesses' birthday are coming up."
Right, their birthday is fifths of November, Avarel was going to I've them anyway, so it's perfect, Kelvis and Artoria gather evidence in the days before the birthday.
"You know, this was really informative, wasn't it, honey?"
"Indeed, it was."
The Kelvis placed his hand on Flajor's shoulder and gave him a smile, to which it made Flajor almost shit himself.
"You, my friend, are going to help me and my lovely wife gather some evidence. If you want to live, at least."
Flajor nodded frantically, and Artoria then turned to the assassin and snapped her fingers. Blood then started coming out of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.
After a few seconds, he was dead.
