A few hours later.
Eiji and the others had been planning for a few hours , then they ate and rested.
They adjusted their minds and made sure their bodies were on peak performance. The battle that would be happening next won't be just about their bodies but also their patience and quick decision making when they take action tonight.

10:00 P.M.
The big visitor had already arrived at the mansion of the count.
From what Koji had seen from afar, the visitor were just two people! A young man and a middle aged man that could be said the young man's personal body guard, based on the way he moves to create space but has the right position to defend when the young man might be attacked.
It has been a few hours since the guests arrived and were having a talk inside, Eiji and the others were able to infiltrate the mansion quite easily.
As a Master level swordsmen, it was easy fooling a normal and even elite level swordsman, so they silently went in and waited for their opportunity to attack.
Hiroto kato and Day Koji are also on stand by. In a few minutes the plan would be executed!

Within a small private room of the mansion, Count Byron Capelle and his two bodyguards as well as his visitor had been talking in here for a few hours now after eating at the banquet hall.
A handsome youth was sitting across him leisurely drinking his tea as he watched the count in front of him.
The middle aged Count had a constipated smile on his face as he watched the young man in front of him.
"Well.... As I have told you a while ago, I will do as I have promised you, as long as you continue your cooperation with me! Alright?!"
"Yes sir! I understand! But.. I.. I think that the Kingdom of Masamune is coming soon..."
Hesitating, the Count wanted to ask for some insurance from the young man. He knew that even if he had his own kingdom's security, they wouldn't be able to help him against the kingdom of Masamune!
Just a while back, someone had told him that they spotted an assassin, though they were not sure if that person was from the Masamune Kingdom.
Besides, Since he was the one that had this alliance with this person and not the kingdom of Dawn, he could only rely on the person infront of him right now.
"Oh! Yes! You also have that guy,... Day Moryo right?!"
"Yes!"
"Hmm.. They should have already dispatched their assassins and are waiting for the chance to kill that guy... It's fine if they kill him, we got the money and minerals already but I think you would also be targeted... "
"Sir?!"
Count Byron Capelle couldn't help but have cold sweat run down his back hearing the young man's nonchalant words.
"Dont worry! With me and Yamada here... Unless they dispatched a very important person, we should be able to deal with them easily!"
*Sigh!
Count Byron Capelle sighed in relief with the young man's assurance.
He knew the power behind this young man, as well as the power of this bodyguard with him. The only question was, would they be willing to help him, which could be said to be achieved, the next thing he needs to worry now is when they would help him!
"Alright! I'll go rest for now, do not forget our cooperation alright?!"
"Yes sir! I understand!"
Walking with him along the hallways of the mansion, Count Byron Capelle had already told the servant to prepare two huge rooms and get the newest and cleanest fabrics for the beddings.
So he went with them in their designated quarters.
After saying some polite greetings, he bowed at them and left slowly.
Count Byron Capelle and his two trusted bodyguards walked to the hallway at ease.

Inside the room, the bodyguard named Yamada had went in the room with the young man and spoke in a deep voice.
"Your highness, that man would die today if we dont help him!"
"Oh?! They are already here?!"
Intrigued, the young man asked.
"Yes sir! I have sensed a few strong ones among them!"
"Ohh... Then let's go help that count then.. even if he is just a pawn in this... He is still quite helpful in this early stage of the game!"
The young man laughed slightly after speaking.
He took a robe from his luggage as well as a katana adorned with blue and golden dragon in its hilt and sheath.
Just as the two of them went out of the room they suddenly heard a loud sound!
*Baanngg!!
"Aahhh!!!"
"Intruders! There are intruders!"
"Aaahhh!! My armm!!!!"
Loud shouts were heard as chaos and panic ensued. The patrolmen panicked as they saw two men in dark cloaks swiftly decapitating their comrades!
---
At hallway, Count Byron Capelle and his two bodyguards, who was walking, heard the noise outside.
"They're here! Be ready! Ray go and help the men, Carter, stay with me!"
""Yes sir!!""
Acknowledging the order, Ray ran into the hallways.
*Baaannngg!!!
Before he could turn at the side though, he was struck in the chest with a kick as he bounced off the wall!
"Damn! They're here! "
"Already!?"
Count Byron Capelle panicked. Carter used his body to shield him, as a man in dark cloak emerged accompanied by a small figure with the same cloak only a bit smaller!
"We have some questions for you! Count Byron Capelle!"
The tall man said slowly as he approached the count.
*End Of Chapter.
