The First Knights of Order of the Kingdom of Astelaa confront Keith and the rest of the Ghost Bandits.
The Knights Murmur amongst themselves,
"That's Keith Ammizabad right?"
"The Fearsome Bandit of the South."
"He sure carries a presence with him."
"Don't show this Bandit any fear." Lakshmi said.
"Who are you?" Keith asked.
"Lakshmi Astelaa, Princess of the Kingdom of Astelaa and Captain of the First Knights of Order."
"Princess huh? The one that scrawny Bandit wants to marry." Keith said.
"He wants to marry, I don't. For I have a fiance. Anyways, Bandits, You've all been put under arrest." Lakshmi said.
"Is this girl delusional? Can't she see she's greatly outnumbered?" Rakesh said.
"Is she playing hero?"
"Shut up! I'll make you pay for underestimating the Kingdom's greatest force. I, Lakshmi, Wielder of the Sacred Amulet will bestow punishment upon you insignificant Bandits."
"That's the Sacred treasure huh?"
Keith draws back the dagger and draws out a pocket knife.
"Guys, We got the Amulet. Time to leave." Keith said.
"Got it."
"Man, I'm beat."
The Ghost Bandits begin to walk away.
"Where do you guys think you're going!?" Lakshmi shouted.
Keith turns the wind blast up in the sky as a barrier and surrounds himself and the Knights.
"You wanted my undivided attention right? Now you got it." Keith said.
'Shit!'
Inside the Ghost Bandits Ship, The Bandits sit in a circle, play cards, and chatter amongst themselves.
"In the End, we managed to get that Smile, but Damn that Mafia." The First Bandit said.
"I knew we couldn't trust him. The Boss was right for not working for him." The Second Bandit said.
"But that Knight was a babe, I got a bit excited." The Fourth Bandit said.
"I wonder if we could do her?" The Fifth Bandit asked.
"So what's the plan now? Do we just disband since we fulfilled our goal?"
"We'll have to wait for Keith and discuss it." Rakesh said.
Keith walks into the ship carrying a tied-up Lakshmi.
"That was fast." Rakesh said.
"They were not interesting at all. A Sorry Excuse for a First Division." Keith said.
"I said unhand me, Bandit! Do you know who my father is?!" Lakshmi shouted.
"Like I care." Keith said.
"What happened to her little army?" Rakesh asked.
"He killed them all! I won't forgive you! Ever!"
"You actually killed them?" Rakesh asked.
"Why are you the one surprised?" Keith asked.
"I just thought you were going to humiliate them." Rakesh said.
"I didn't kill them, Just put them out of commotion for a while." Keith said.
"Hey Boss, Can we do it with her?" One of the Bandits asked.
"You can't. She has the Divine Blessing. It'll wipe out any impurity that comes her way." Keith said.
"Huuuh!!!?"
Lakshmi manages to get on her feet and leaps for Keith.
"I'll kill you!! Watchdog!!"
Keith connects a kick to the guts which only pushes Lakshmi back a bit.
"Tch, Her Armour is in the way."
Keith follows up with a kick to the head, sending Lakshmi flying across the room.
"And don't you dare cause any disruption for us." Keith said.
Lakshmi stays on the ground and grinds her teeth in anger. A Few Minutes later, The Ghost Bandits Ship is headed back home and the Bandits begin to party.
Keith is seated in his room, drinking wine with Lakshmi tied next to him.
"So you don't party?" Lakshmi asked.
"One of us gotta stay vigilant." Keith said.
"Why did you spare only me? Why didn't you kill me along with my comrades?"
"Your comrades aren't dead, just out of commission for a while. And I couldn't kill you thanks to the Divine Blessing of the Amulet." Keith said.
"The Kingdom of Astelaa recently formed an alliance with the Ziredien Kingdom. Once they hear I've been kidnapped, they're sure to act." Lakshmi said.
"The Ziredien Kingdom is currently the ruling nation since the Kingdom of Halfdan has fallen under their rule since the passing of the Queen. Well, it doesn't matter. They can bring whoever they want, I'll still bring them down." Keith said while sitting back and sipping on his wine.
"Why are you doing this? Don't you think about the families you've been hurting?" Lakshmi asked.
Keith throws a blade at Lakshmi. It misses her but cuts off a tiny bit of her hair.
"You talk like you know, Royal girl. Have you guys ever thought of my family? If they're hurting or not? You guys only care about yourself and don't give a damn about your Commoners. The Abandoned Village is proof of it."
"..."
"Now not another word from your mouth, unless you don't value your life."
Lakshmi is struck with a menacing aura which causes her to tremble in fear. Meanwhile in the Kingdom of Astelaa.
"What?! You're telling me my daughter Lakshmi has been kidnapped?! These Bandits have gone too far."
[Dhruv Astelaa _ King of the Astelaa Kingdom]
"Lakshmi..."
[Aashvi Astelaa _ Second Princess of the Astelaa Kingdom]
"I'm absolutely not going to forgive them. Contact the Ziredien Kingdom. And also hire the Assassins of Shadows."
"But Sir, They're Criminals."
"Do I look like I care! My Daughter has been abducted so hurry up!"
"Right!"
The Guard takes the phone and gets on a call with a member of Shadows. Meanwhile in the back alley in the Village in Astelaa.
Ishaan who successfully retreated is getting his wounds treated.
"That Low-ranking Bandits...I underestimated him..." Ishaan said.
"Don't worry boss, we'll get him next time. This time we won't need the distraction of the Knights of Order." Navi said.
The Houses around them get frozen and a man in a hood walks towards them.
"Huh? Who are you? Do you know where you stand?" One of the Bandits asked.
The Bandit approaches the man and tries to grab him but the Bandit turns to ice and instantly decapitates putting all Bandits on alert.
"Leader of the Shyla Bandits, Ishaan Shyla with a bounty of 16 Million Gols and One Star." The Man said.
"Who are you?" Ishaan said.
"Leader of the Shadows Eighth Company, Achintya."
"Shadows? If I'm correct, the Head Boss is also one of the Thirteen Disasters of the World." Ishaan said.
"I'm here for your head, Offer it up." Achintya said.
"Bullshit, Light him up."
The Bandits start shooting at Achintya but Achintya freezes all the bullets coming at him.
"Tch, Elemental Magic."
Achintya appears next to Navi, Freezes him, and slashes his head clean off. Achintya proceeds to freeze the other bandits.
Ishaan takes out a gun and shoots at Achintya, but Achintya freezes the bullet and cuts Ishaan's remaining arm off.
"What?!"
Achintya kicks him down and points him with a blade.
"Lakshmi Astelaa, Being the current wielder of the Celestial Lotus Amulet, She can heal any wounds and cure any disease. Also, Marrying her means you will grab a special seat with the Government. That's why you were so insistent on marrying her." Achintya said.
"Huh?"
"Now tell me, Where is Lakshmi Astelaa of the Kingdom of Astelaa?"
"I don't know what you're talking about so fuck you."
Achintya kicks him on the head and keeps stepping on him.
"Speak!"
"I don't know! I was battling with the Watchdog and she pulled up with her army. So I used that chance to escape." Ishaan said.
"Watchdog?"
"Why is an Assassin so insistent on that girl?" Ishaan asked.
"It's for my client."
Achintya freezes Ishaan's whole body and slashes off the head.
"Well, this will be interesting. Watchdog."
