The Suitors of Princess Lily tremendously increased after this news were known!

Merchants, Assasins, Criminals are all welcomed into this Empire and everyone is forbidden from fighting one another in this Empire, Although they are the Free-City but their Military Forces are deadly.

Location: The Crimson Lion's Base

Princess Lily made her way into the base of the Crimson Lion Company to see everyone focused on what they were doing, They all turned towards her immediately they Recognized the princess.

The Crimson Lion may be the Third Ranked Company of the Hydra Platoon but they are quite skilled and powerful, They are known to always Complete their missions and they have only failed three missions in history.

" Princess Lily, Welcome to the Crimson Lion "

A Gentle feminine voice called out when Princess Lily slowly turned to see a girl running towards her with smiles plastered on her face, She is the same age as the princess, They are both seventeen years old.

" Hello, May I know who you are? " Princess Lily asked with a confused look on her face, She stared at the chest of this girl to see bright green core, She is a Green Core user that specializes in healing.

" Sorry about my manners my princess, My Name is Anna and I am also a New Recruit of the Crimson Lion, There are only five of us who are the New Recruits of the Crimson Lion " The Young Brunette whose name is Anna Answered.

" Oh? You are a New Recruit huh? I knew there were those who are in training but I never expected I wasn't the only new recruit, My name is Lily, It's nice meeting you Anna " Princess Lily said.

" Huh? You know I can't call you that right? You are the Princess after all " Anna said while smiling!

" Oh yh I forgot about that, So why don't you introduce me to the rest of the Crew, This is my first time being here " Princess Lily said when Anna took her to the Main Crew of the Crimson Lion Company.

They all introduced themselves to her one after the other.

She came to know her colleagues, There were five New Recruits of the Crimson Lion Company which includes her and Anna, The other three were boys, Pedro who is a Noble of the Vermax Empire.

Blue Core User while Silas is also a Noble of the Vermax Empire and the son of a Military Officer, A Yellow Core User and Gabriel, A Commoner who passed the Examination with high marks, A Red Core User.

Although because he isn't a Noble or born into the family of someone high ranked, He wasn't taken by most Company's Captain but Captain Rudeus of the Crimson Lion Company took him in.

They were all discussing Amongst themselves while gisting when Captain Rudeus made his way into the building, They all sensed his presence when they stopped doing what they were doing quickly.

" Greetings Captain Rudeus and Welcome back " They all greeted in unison!!

" Greetings to you all soldiers of the Empire, We are Huntsmen who guide and Protect the Empire from the Forces of the Demons and I'm glad to see you guys are all getting to know each other " Captain Rudeus said with smiles on his face.

" As we all know, There are five New Recruits of the Crimson Lion Company, Most joined other Companies since we are third ranked in the Hydra Platoon, But we will stand strong and outrank the Bear Claw someday " Captain Rudeus said with smiles on his face and they all clapped their hands for him, Gabriel took a deep breath when he sighed, He is eighteen years while standing at six foot one.

" Captain Rudeus, Do you have any mission at hand.....I would like to kill some demons "

Gabriel voiced out, Interuppting the Captain while he speaks, All eyes were fixed on him but he could care less about it, Although he is a Commoner, He is born to a Family that loves killing demons.

" Gabriel, I understand your position as an Huntsman is to destroy demons but I am your Captain and you have no right to interuppt my words, Can you return back to your Position now? " Captain Rudeus asked.

" Sorry Captain but all this fancy talked bores me " Gabriel spoke out.

" Huh? Didn't you just hear what the Captain said? He told you to sit your ass down and...." One of the Huntsmen was about to complete his statement when he received a punch directed to his face.

The Huntsman was sent flying as he crashed into the wall, Causing the wall to crack which shocked everyone, Gabriel clenched his fists as you could see the red auras of the Core spread across his body.

" Who asked you to talk? You may be my senior in ranks but not in strength, I'm stronger than most of you guys " Gabriel spoke out when Captain Rudeus grinned evily, He remained calm while watching everything.

" Oh? So you think you are stronger huh? You are just a bully " Princess Lily voiced out when Gabriel slowly turned towards her, Princess Lily could feel the monstrous gaze but she remained calm.

" Your eyes are that of a predator but what are you going to do huh? " Princess Lily asked ..

" Princess, I do not care if you are an High Noble or not, I've being discriminated for quite a long time to not give a shit anymore, Introductions are over....If it comes to fighting demons, I am here " Gabriel voiced out.

" And does that give you the right to attack one of your teammates? " Princess Lily asked when she widened her eyes in shock, Without hesitation....Gabriel directed his bone crushing fist against her.

Captain Rudeus saw through the attacks but he didn't make a move.

Princess Lily evaded the punch within a split second when she landed on the ground, Gabriel gnashed his teeths when he charged Against her, Releasing the Pressure from his Battle Suit without hesitation.

" He-he-he-he, It seems you are in the mood to fight huh? Why don't I entertain you jackass " Princess Lily spoke out when Her White Core suddenly glowed brightly, Spreading her white auras across her body.

Her Strength and Speed were amplified with the suit when she supersped, Evading the Punches thrown Against her without hesitation, She leapt when she landed right behind Gabriel with a smile on her face.

" I'm here sucker " Princess Lily spoke out.

" You are quite skilled for a lady, Princess.....The Life of an Huntsman doesn't suit you well, You should return to your princess Position and marry your Rich folks " Gabriel declared when he clenched his fists.

Veins spread around his veins when he smirked evily, You could feel the intense pressure spreading out, Red Core Users are far too offensive by nature....They are mostly the combat type.

" A Red Core user huh? It suits your fighting style but I don't appreciate your tone, Just because some Royalties or nobles have treated you badly in the past doesn't mean you treat me that way " Princess Lily said.

" I will knock you to your senses " Princess Lily spoke out when she vanished!

" Huh? Her speed....She is faster than a Blue Core user, I don't know what her White Core Properties truly are but based on what I am seeing, She surpasses all the colored cores " Captain Rudeus said.

He didn't want to get involved until he sees the Princess is in complete danger, He is her bodyguard after all but he wants to see the Strength of Gabriel, Although he knows Gabriel is holding back.

" The Red Core is close to the Demonic Ki, The more furious a Red Core user is, The more powerful he gets.....And the more he loses his Humanity, I would like to see the end of it " Captain Rudeus said.

Princess Lily caused her body to glow Brightly when she moved with the speed, Not even her movements could be seen as she phased through Gabriel, Grabbing him by the face and slamming him into the ground.

Spreading shockwaves into the air by this clash!!

" She defeated a Red Core user? I guess I underestimated her a little " Captain Rudeus said when he noticed something, He could see the smiles written on the face of Gabriel when he sighed calmly!

" That ends the fight, You guys have proven yourselves to be worthy of being Huntsmen but Gabriel, For interuppting me and assaulting a member of this company, You will be punished by me "

" And as for you Princess Lily, I'm proud to say you are quite Special, Your White Core excels in speed, Strength and has other potentials which I don't know of yet but you need to take it slowly " Captain Rudeus said.

" And why is that? Captain " Princess Lily asked.

" The Battle Suits are Originally skins of demons although the Demonic ki has been neutralized, It's still too Destructive, If the Suit overthrows your Control it could take control of your brain and soul "

" You can't draw out the powers of your suit when it hasn't reached your level yet " Captain Rudeus said when he smiled, He said those words so she won't be too proud of herself but he is proud of her.

" Now we have a mission, We will be heading for the Free-City by sunrise " Captain Rudeus said as he slowly turned to leave, The Confusion Written on the faces of everyone caused Captain Rudeus to smile.

" Why is that? Captain? " One of the Huntsmen asked.

" A Single Marker Demon has been located at the borderline of the Free-City and they want the Vermax Empire to take care of it, The Emperor wants the Crimson Lion to take this mission so his daughter could learn the basics of hunting " Captain Rudeus said when he quickly made his way out of the scene!

Meanwhile

" Mr Rey, I can see you have a mission at hand " The Voice of Mr K was heard as he made his way into the Chambers of the Deathmaker, As the Servant of the Deathmaker....He is permitted to enter Without restrictions.

" Yes I am but it's a special mission " Rey spoke out with smiles on his face.

" A Special Mission? Based on your word Special, It isn't a mission given to you by the Assasin Guild right? " Mr K asked when Rey chuckled softly, He is completely dressed in his battle suit and he brought out his mask.

" Yes that's correct, There are five personal targets I currently have, I killed one of them already now I have the Name of the second, He is currently in the West so I am heading there to kill em " Rey stated.

" May I know who your target is? " Mr K asked.

" Well yh, Memphis Zaichi.....One of the Notorious Merchants shielded by The Vorgan Empire, I guess he is somewhat the Prime Minister of the Vorgan Empire but he is currently staying in somewhere else " Rey Answered.

" Oh? And I guess that's where you are Heading to right? " Mr K asked.

" Yh, The Free-City, That's his current location...He is there for a business trip and I am certain he is protected by Huntsmen but that's little of my concerns, I'm heading to the Free-City to kill em " Rey Answered.

" Trust me K, There is no one That's going to stop me from taking his head "
