Ramiel was done with his preparation and assured Hilas that he will casually visit her as soon he gain sufficient information on the area the guild adventuring team was heading, he still wishes to travel incognito and just enjoy the travel like a normal hunter, and will only use his power to visit both of them as much as he can without gathering too much attention on himself,
Hilas was walking with Ramiel like a real wife should act, her arms warp around him as she cuddles and just soak in his fragrance, Head steward Nuala Maglen greeted and Leilatha Atinen gave Ramiel a knight greeting by placing her closed fist in her chest and gently bowed her head as I sign of respect, acknowledging his presence. Hilas, feeling a sense of pride and admiration for Ramiel, smiled warmly at the respectful gestures shown towards him. As they continued their walk the long corridor that was filled with her hard-working staff saw them walk as they knew and wanted to peak at the man who captured their benefactor's heart.
Some male staff reacted in a weird jealous manner, even saying the Viscountess should have gotten a more capable strong man, he might be very handsome but he look weak, unfit for such a powerful and influential woman. However, their whispers were drowned out by the overwhelming support and loyalty of the majority, who recognized Ramiel's intelligence and kindness that complemented Hilas perfectly. It was clear to everyone that true strength came not just from physical prowess, but from the depth of character and love that Ramiel possessed.
they were about to reach the exit when the female knight Eiresti Nimwen Gallien with her uncle, the two greeted Viscountess and the man she was with, politely acting like they don't know who the person she was with, but knowing they were inside a safe space, he just smiled and greeted them both like old friends,
it doesn't take a genius to connect that Black Battle Archmage Lā mǐ'ěr and the king of arcane were standing in front of them, Eiresti could not even understand that most people just ignore these simple facts, she would just laugh at those oblivious people not even question that Black Battle Archmage Lā mǐ'ěr name was Ramiel jumbled and rearrange
As Eiresti observed the interaction, she couldn't help but admire the air of power and respect that surrounded both the Viscountess and Ramiel. It was clear that their connection ran deep, hinting at a shared history filled with extraordinary adventures and accomplishments. Eiresti wondered what tales they could tell if given the chance.
Ramiel casually complimented Eiresti and whispered into her ear a simple message that she would soon have the opportunity to finally close the remaining chapter in her life, knowing who was constantly visiting her Lord every day, because she was just patiently waiting for him to revile himself again.,
It was Gibson Cuthbert, one of four who raped her who is currently in hiding, Eiresti's heart raced as she absorbed Ramiel's words, her determination to seek justice growing stronger. She vowed to herself that she would not rest until she found Gibson Cuthbert and ensured he faced the consequences of his actions.
Ramiel smiled and thanked the Earl and his niece for being accommodating to his sudden visit. He expressed his gratitude for their warm hospitality and remarked how fortunate he felt to have such kind hosts. As they engaged in pleasant conversation, Ramiel couldn't help but feel at ease in their company. They all decided to join them as he mentioned his task for the Royal Guild. They were all standing in the open courtyard when a flattering voice was heard speaking flamboyantly toward the Viscountess.
To attract attention because of their exuberance, confidence, and stylishness, Gerrin Killian Cuthbert was walking toward them when he saw Hila's arm wrapped around the unknown man's arm. This was like a huge insult to him, and like a wild animal, he dashed to ward them off to separate the two as if he had the authority to do so.
Gerrin Killian Cuthbert, known for his fiery temper, stormed towards them with a determined stride. His face flushed with anger, he intended to assert his authority and put an end to the disrespectful display. The onlookers watched in anticipation, unsure of what would unfold next. Gerrin was about to grab Hila's Hand when Ramiel slapped his hand away. This was an insult to him, and he acted like he was provoked and hit by a commoner, as he falsely acted falling on the ground hurt, Gerrin pointed and insulted the man and orders his guard to defend his master's honour.
Earl Reeve and Eiresti Nimwen Gallien, knight commander Leilatha Atinen, and Head steward Nuala Maglen's moods changed as they all saw how foolish and arrogant this man was in Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron's domain. Evarius drew his sword, but Commander Leilatha Atinen was already in a defensive position,
while Head Steward Nuala Maglen was still fulfilling her task as she approached Gerrin and offered her hand to stand up, showing her compassion and grace even in the face of such arrogance. Earl Reeve and Eiresti Nimwen Gallien exchanged a knowing glance, silently acknowledging the head steward's ability to diffuse tense situations with her kindness. It was clear that their united front would not be shaken by this man's disrespectful behaviour.
but Gerrin Killian Cuthbert was no intention of letting this go, so stood up and furiously stared at Nuala Maglen, Gerrin without reason and warning slap her face, while he spoke in a loud arrogant tone for everyone to hear, How dare a commoner dare touch his hand and stand above him as if she has the authority to do so
Gerrin Killian Cuthbert continued to taunt her and insult her, Hilas was now mad but when she was about to act, Ramiel fast but nonchalantly walked in front of Gerrin Killian Cuthbert and slaps him, as he awkwardly step back Ramiel continued to slap him but it was a controlled slap he just wants to point out he was disrespectful and arrogant within another person home,
Evarius saw this and used his power to move fast enough that knight commander Leilatha Atinen could not respond, like a wild animal Evarius suddenly swing his sword toward the unknown man, but when he stared back at him, Evarius stop his sword swing that was aimed at Ramiels neck,
Pulse beating in Evarius's ears, blocking out all other sounds, he swallowed deeply and took two small steps backwards, he steadied his breath and try to calm the panic, what he saw in his eyes was a glace of death, as the figure before him exuded an aura of malevolence and darkness. The intensity of the moment weighed heavily on Evarius, his instincts urging him to flee, but a sense of duty rooted him in place. He knew he had to confront this impending threat head-on,
for the sake of his own survival, he chose to hold back his attack and observe the figure's movements carefully. Evarius had been trained to analyze his opponents, searching for any weaknesses or patterns that could give him an advantage. As he studied the figure's stance and demeanour, a flicker of doubt crossed his mind. Was this truly a battle he could win? Nevertheless, determination fueled his resolve, pushing aside any lingering fear. With a plan forming in his mind,
when he saw they were already inside an illusion barrier, he didn't even hear and saw this man cast a spell, Gerrin Killian was screaming at Evarius ordering him to kill the man who slapped him instantly, and the colour quickly drained from his face as the energy they were now feeling was eating away their very courage. It was so overwhelming, Evarius drop his heavy weapon as it hits the pavement creating a crack as he kneeled down, gasping for air and filled with terror,
With each passing moment, as Terror washed over their very bodies, they felt their strength waning and their minds becoming clouded with fear. The overwhelming presence of the spell left them paralyzed, unable to move or think clearly. Their hearts pounded in their chests, desperate to escape from the suffocating grip of terror. They were about to lose consciousness when suddenly everything stopped and they found themselves standing. in the middle of the courtyard, shivering in fear,
as they looked around most of the bystanders at the entrance wall were laughing at them and this made Gerrin Killian angier knowing he was insulted once again by a mere common man, and that same person made him look like a fool in front of his beloved Viscountess, the nameless Cuthbert family butler came to his young master aid and mention what he encountered was a very strong spell, he saw everything, it only took a second for the spell to contaminate their mind, they just stood their screaming in fear, as those people walk away and left them to suffer a humiliating scene again,
Evarius asked the nameless butler what he said. He said that all those feelings and visual encounters were fake, and were just created by the spell that the man cast. The butler assured Evarius that it was all made up to scare them and nothing more. This made Evarius mad like his boss, knowing that man was a coward using dirty tricks to escape him.
Evarius clenched his fists, feeling a surge of anger towards the man who had resorted to such deceitful tactics. He vowed to himself that he would not let this cowardly escape artist get away so easily and would find a way to expose the coward, bring his head on a platter, and offer it to his benefactor.
Knowing the nameless butler didn't tell them everything; they did not see what he saw. The unknown man was not an ordinary person; his power was beyond measure.
His piercing gaze seemed to penetrate the butler's very soul, hinting at a hidden knowledge that sent shivers down his spine. he knew even with his skill and experience in magic he was bound to die with a mere flick of the man's hands,
The butler had encountered many formidable opponents in his lifetime, but this mysterious man's aura was unlike anything he had ever encountered. It was as if the very air around him crackled with otherworldly energy, making the butler question whether his own magical abilities would be enough to protect him from this impending death.
with this, the nameless butler once again tried his best o calm his young master and gain a certain amount to control over his delusions about his self-made relationship with the Viscountess and hopefully, he can steer him away in pursuing this pointless endeavour However, the young master's infatuation seemed unyielding, as he remained fixated on the Viscountess despite the butler's efforts. The butler knew he had to find a more persuasive approach to dissuade his master from this fruitless pursuit.
as they went back to their home inside the Cuthbert stagecoach they were nearing the royal guild Gathering place as the guild adventurers and hunters were about to depart going west to answer the Stewards of
Garden Brawlers' official request,
Evarius was inside the luxurious stagecoach when he saw the man that insulted and humiliated them a few hours ago, he wanted to personally engage him right there but Gerrin stop him when he saw he was a Hunter but a low ranking one base on how he responded toward the high ranking ones who were identified with their necklace Guild identification pendant colour,
Gerrin quickly whispered to Evarius, reminding him of the consequences of confronting a Hunter, especially one who is with another high rank. Evarius reluctantly nodded, realizing that it would be wiser to bide his time and seek a more strategic opportunity for revenge. so they drove past by and plan what was the best course of action,
Evarius decided to just gather hired help and follow the travelling guild party, setting up an ambush area to separate the group and isolate their target, increasing their chances of success. He knew that patience and careful planning would be key to taking down the Hunter and his companion without risking their own lives. Evarius was determined to make his revenge swift and effective, ensuring that justice would be served for the wrongs committed against him, even if he had to spend his own gold to do it.
and he knows somebody who can provide this kind of hired help to a skilled group of mercenaries who specialize in covert operations. Evarius had worked with them before and knew they were ruthless and efficient, making them the perfect choice for his mission. With their help, he was confident that he could execute his plan flawlessly. Gerrin smiled and wanted to give his support. Evarius slid open the stagecoach's front window and asked the nameless Cuthbert retainer to go to the industrial district and go toward the closed and abandoned textile factory where Omael Drorkanel was located.
the same person who is currently submerged inside a chemical to preserve his brain function, with Eirana Fanuilos and Aelinor Mithrandir ending up with the same fate, while the rest of the ten Highbeards are in hiding, awaiting their chance to reunite and reclaim their power. The submerged five individuals, despite their isolated, hidden state, still communicate through a complex network of cryptic interfaces, exchanging vital information and strategizing their next move. Meanwhile, whispers of their existence circulate among the criminal underground society.
it was about nearly approaching high noon in Rune time and was pronounced as Hagalaz of in earth number to be sixteen, Evarius search the area and found out that Omael Drorkanel was missing and was no longer the head of the organization running in this area, a new name merge and took his place,
Earl Galthir Allannia had to take over what Omael unexpectedly left, but unlike Omael, Galthir Allannia was overly cautious and hate getting his hand dirty that is why his name was very hard to implicate in any criminal acts because of his nature of being a germaphobe,
he was a slim man who was about five foot six and around 190 lbs, usually wears a white formal suit with white gloves and can be seen holding a jewel-crusted mithril cane and a satin handkerchief His piercing blue eyes stood out against his fair complexion, adding an air of mystery to his overall appearance. The elegant gold pocket rune timepiece adorning his custom-tailored suit completed his polished ensemble, hinting at a man of refined taste and wealth.
Earl Galthir Allannia's criminal acts were so hidden that no one could even connect him to any of the accusations directed toward him; his very presence was filled with an aura and enigma that left everyone perplexed. Rumours circulated about his involvement in various illegal activities, but concrete evidence remained elusive, making it nearly impossible to pin him down. The enigmatic aura surrounding Earl Galthir Allannia only fueled curiosity and suspicion among those who sought to uncover the truth behind his elusive persona.
He was once accused of sex slavery, kidnapping, extortion, blackmail, organ selling, and illegal medical operations to extend one's life or for body enhancement, but no concrete evidence was ever found to substantiate these claims. Despite the persistent rumours, Earl Galthir Allannia managed to maintain a veil of secrecy around his activities, leaving authorities and investigators perplexed as they struggled to uncover the truth behind his elusive persona.
some even state that the painting in his own mansion was not his real face even as an Earl he was never seen in public, and even if he attended any noble or aristocratic social function he would always attend wearing a lavish scarf covering his face saying that this is part of his tradition and culture of his race. Rumors about the Earl's mysterious appearance spread like wildfire among the city folk. Whispers suggested that his obsession with concealing his true face stemmed from a dark secret, leading some to maliciously claim that he even used other people's and denizens' skin, illegally obtaining it by kidnapping and skinning the victims alive so he could hide his true face.
adding to the air of unease and intrigue surrounding him. This baseless news was fueled by the fact that no one had ever seen the Earl without his scarf, further deepening the mystery surrounding his true identity. Some even speculated that he may possess supernatural powers or be a creature from another realm, adding an eerie element to the already haunting tales about him.
Evarius heard that personally meeting him will be hard, but sending a request to him is still possible if the price is right, the bystander and lookout handed Evarius a piece of paper with detailed instructions to follow, as he went back to the waiting stagecoach Gerrin wanted to ask his friend but thinking that it was unwise to ask her just for this knowing she was antisocial and nearing the edge of being insane, he reluctantly accepted Evarius plan to seek out the elusive new crime Earl of Ivlares city.
at the same time, the guild envoy toward the west has already moved out, as fifteen guild members volunteered to answer the Garden Brawlers patiently rode in four battle wagons being pulled by a wingless Hippogriff, their feathers shimmering in the sunlight. The wagons were filled with supplies and weapons, ready to assist the Garden Brawlers in their mission. As they embarked on their journey, the guild members felt a sense of determination and camaraderie, knowing that they were united in their purpose to protect and serve.
