Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Hidden Quest

The Vermax Demon-Hunting Corp comprises of Four Platoons and under this Five Platoons are the Twelve Companies, Each Platoons controls three Companies and the Companies are governed by Their Selected Captains.

Captain Rudeus is The Captain of the Third Company of the Hydra Platoon.

Returning from their Adventurous Meeting were The Roman Platoon who went to destroy a Horned Demon, It takes a Platoon to destroy a Single Horned Demon, Demons are categorized by specialties.

Elemental Demons are always treated as A-Level Threats considering they can bend an element but the Horned Demons are regarded as S- Level Demons, Even a Platoon could be destroyed while fighting against an Horned Demon.

But the Roman Platoon proved themselves to be an exception!!

Returning while on their horses, They were greeted by the People of The Vermax Empire, The Common-People who supported them waved at them, The Veil was closed back after they entered into the Empire.

Emperor Argilac could be seen sitted on his throne when the door leading into his throne room opened up, There is an Unwritten law that all returning huntsmen must first greet the Emperor before anything.

Princess Lily could be seen dressed in her Royal Gown while standing Besides her brothers!

The Throne room is filled with Ministers and Military Commanders who came to Welcome to Roman Platoon, Standing besides the Emperor is Lord Rivers, The Acting Prime Minister since the real Prime Minister isn't present.

The Gigantic Door Leading into the Throne room opened up gently when the Platoon General made his way into the Throne room, Brown haired while being over six feet tall, He is dressed in his Noble Uniform.

The Famous Demon-Crusher.....General Creg Voila!

Behind him were the Three Captains of The Companies under the Roman Platoon, General Creg halted when he slowly fell on his knees, Bowing his head before Emperor Argilac with a warm smile plastered on his face.

" Your Magesty, Emperor Argilac....Your Servant has returned from his successful mission, I hope to be welcomed warmly before thee " General Creg spoke out with a warm smile plastered on his face.

" Platoon General Creg Voila, You have done well in defeating the Horned Demon that ravaged the Oriona Kingdom, Now Oriona owes The Vermax Empire thanks to your leadership, I hope you continue to guard the Name of This Empire "

Emperor Argilac declared when everyone cheered for the Platoon General Creg Voila, A Noble Huntsman who belongs to the Viola Noble House, One of the Contenders for the Princess hand in marriage.

Princess Lily frowned at him while refusing to clap her hands, Captain Rudeus who stood besides her giggled out softly, Since she is under his Company, He is also her personal bodyguard now.

" What is funny Captain Rudeus? " Princess Lily asked while frowning.

" Nothing really my lady, It's just that you refused to clap your hands and cheer for him even after he has been acknowledged by the Emperor himself, Do you really don't like him at all? He is quite the man " Captain Rudeus Answered.

" Quite the man you say, Pffttt....He is just a rude brat who got lucky to possess The Suit of an High ranked Demon, He isn't all that great " Princess Lily said while still frowning and Captain Rudeus sighed.

" I see, You know my princess....He isn't the only one amongst the hundreds who seeks your hand in marriage, If he doesn't charm you....There are others you could approach " Captain Rudeus said.

" That's the problem, I don't want any suitors, I want to be an Huntsman.... Hunting down demons and wearing their skins as suits, I want to be a Warlord not just a Princess " Princess Lily said.

" I see.....I guess I will train you to achieve your dream then " Captain Rudeus said with a warm smile on his face, Although he is the Captain of the last ranked Company in the Hydra Platoon, Having the Princess in his Company.

It had risen him in ranks already since the Princess is a High Noble of the Vermax Empire!!

Platoon General Creg smirked Evily when he gazed at Princess Lily but she easily looked away, He took a deep breath when he slowly turned towards the Emperor, He is already on his feet when he bowed his head once again.

" My Emperor, I was quite suprised and pleased to hear that one of The Vermax Empire's Companies is responsible for capturing a Villain, The S-Class Assasin.....The Deathmaker, Where is he now? " Platoon General Creg asked respectively.

" Oh? That bastard who killed my little brother, He is locked up in the Lyxx Awaiting his judgement, It calls for celebration doesn't it? " Emperor Argilac asked with a warm smile plastered on his face.

" Ofcourse it does, The Hydra Platoon really is lucky to have one of their Companies drag the Infamous Assasin of the North, Your Highness if I may ask....What is going to be his fate? " The Platoon General Creg asked.

" Platoon General Creg, Know your boundaries, You have no authority to demand such a question from the Emperor " Lord Rivers spoke out with Authority, The Throne room became silent.

" Yes that's correct Lord Rivers but I guess Platoon General Creg really brought victory for the Vermax Empire at Oriona....Let him shine alittle but after this Platoon General, You dare not make such demands "

Emperor Argilac spoke out with Authority as he remained calm.

" I'm sorry your highness if I made any demands, I was only asking for the glory of Vermax, The Deathmaker is responsible for killing Your Little Brother who was once hailed as the Strongest of the Empire "

" He shouldn't be given a little punishment, He deserved to be tortured until he reveals whatever secrets the Assasin Guild has in motion " Platoon General Creg said when Emperor Argilac sighed softly.

" Father, Platoon General Creg is right, What is your judgement concerning the issue? " The Second Prince of the Vermax Empire, Prince Owen asked when everyone turned towards his Direction.

" The Deathmaker is wanted in thirteen High Nations including us, A Swift Death is mercy to him since he killed my younger brother and killed a few nobles of the Vermax Empire including our soldiers and Huntsmen "

" He will be tortured but since he saved my daughter during her Scouting Mission, I won't put him to death now, The Hydra Platoon is incharge of torturing The Deathmaker until he releases every secrets he has "

" After then.....He will be executed before the Emperors of the Twelve Empires "

Emperor Argilac spoke out with Authority, Suspending the Execution of The Deathmaker since he saved his daughter but his fate has been sealed, The Deathmaker will be executed by the Vermax Empire.

The News Spread wild across the High Nations and even to the Other Kingdoms and Villages that aren't under the Command of the High Nations, The Thirteen Empires controls the West in total.

There are Four Regions....The Eastern Region, The Western Region, The Southern Region and the Northern Region.....The Eastern Region is infamously known to be the Domain of Demons and Monsters.

The North is controlled mostly by The Underground Forces of the Assasin Guild while the Southern Region are not controlled by Empire's Just like the Thirteen Empires that Completely controlled the West.

But The Western Region is the most safest domain to stay from demons!!

Soon the Vermax Empire will be having lots of visitors who are coming to witness the Execution of the Infamous Assasin of the North, The Deathmaker who has caused terror mostly in the hearts of Nobles and Royalties.

The Crimson Lion Company governed by Captain Rudeus and the Claw Bear Company governed by Captain Ari are the two Companies in charge of Torturing the Deathmaker since the Hydra Platoon are incharge of the Deathmaker.

The Claw Bear being the First Ranked Company of the Hydra Platoon and the Crimson Lion being the ones who originally captured the Deathmaker, They sent their huntsmen into the Lyxx as authorized.

Increasing the Tight Securities since the Deathmaker is an S-Class Level Prisoner!

All Security Systems are active while the Huntsmen were seen patrolling around Lyxx, Captain Ari and Captain Rudeus made their way towards the Indestructible Prison Cell of the Deathmaker and they were followed by their selected Huntsmen.

Princess Lily was chosen by Captain Rudeus since he wants her to be by his side always in other to protect her, They were all dressed in their Battle suits while ready to clash at anytime in case anything happens.

The Gigantic Door Leading into the Special Cell opened up when they entered into the Grand Hall were S-Class Prisoners are locked and there is only one Prison Cell that is currently sealed up Beyond imagination.

" My My, So this is the Infamous Deathmaker huh? " Captain Ari of the Bear Claw spoke out with pride, The Bear Claw has blue capes with the symbol of the Hydra Platoon and their own Flag on their capes.

They gazed into the Monitor which display the Prisoner who remains locked up.

The Prisoner could see them if they wanted to and Captain Ari decided that the Prisoner should see them, The Deathmaker who is seen sitted on the ground while resting his back on the wall calmly sighed.

He slowly looked up when he stared at the Two Captains who were standing at the other side of the Cell, Captain Rudeus remained calm while Captain Ari is the only one who is overwhelmed with pride.

" Crimson Lion, You lesser company did a good job catching this criminal, But I will be in charge of Torturing him myself, So don't bother standing against my word " Captain Ari said with pride when Captain Rudeus nodded.

Princess Lily frowned at The Bear Claw Captain but there is nothing she could do.

" Hello Deathmaker, Can you hear what I am saying? " Captain Ari asked when The Deathmaker stated at them, His eyes were fixed on Princess Lily when their eyes both met, He grinned evily, Not showing it.

" Yes I can hear you, What do you want? " The Deathmaker asked.

" I'm Captain Ari of the Bear Claw Company, The One in charge of your tortures, I would gently ask you to surrender all the Informations you have but where is the fun in that, You killed our Prince "

" You are going to suffer before your Execution Date has been released " Captain Ari spoke out when The Deathmaker started giggling out, Everyone remained silent as they watched what is happening.

" Oh? What seems to be funny? Criminal " Captain Ari asked.

" Nothing exactly, It seems the Emperor has decided to have me executed right? Even after I saved the life of his daughter, It's quite predictable....I never expected mercy from them in the first place "

The Deathmaker said when he sighed, He slowly rose up from the ground when four cannon emerged from the walls as they were pointed at him in case he made a single move to break out from his cell.

" Hmph.....Vermax came prepared in case they captured me huh? " The Deathmaker asked!

" You are correct, The Emperor refers to this Cell as the End of He that makes Death, This Cell was Specially designed for you so you escape, There is no saving you Deathmaker, You are dying soon " Captain Ari said with pride.

" He-he-he-he, If that makes you feel better, I guess it's how nature goes.....I'm sure you are about happy to see me put down like the rest of your people right? " The Deathmaker calmly asked.

" Hey you have no right to talk to the Princess, You are a Dead man walking, Control your tongue or I will pull it out for you " Captain Rudeus spoke out as he slowly reached for his sword, Princess Lily remained silent.

Her eyes were fixed on the Deathmaker, She could sense nothing but excitement from the one who is behind the cage, A Man who is on death toll would be panicking right now, Seeking for a way to atone for his sins.

But for the one known as The Deathmaker, Death is nothing but a game to him!!
