The Dentra Empire popularly known as the Free-City is the Only Empire were no Criminals are wanted, It has been a Neutral High Nation for over a century, It's defenses are far too Destructive but they have been Neutral.
An Empire that has no known Empire only a Prime Minister who is voted by the people!
Just because of its Neutral Law, The Free-City became famously known world wide and they were the richest High Nation to ever exist, Brimming with incomes because many people are there to trade.
No bloods will be spilled on the Free-City by their laws and this is where business Meetings holds because there hasn't been any rumors of Assasinations in the Free-City so everyone feels safe.
But Lately The Free-City has been attacked by Demons, And a Single Marker Demon who is responsible for devouring soldiers and Travelers who were making their way into the Free-City at their will.
Since they didn't want to get involved, They hired the Vermax Empire to help destroy this Single Marker Demon and the Vermax Empire honored their request, Sending the Crimson Lion Company.
Location: The Free-City
" So this is the Free-City huh? It's so beautiful " The Voice of Anna was heard as she could be seen sitted on her horse while staring at the Free-City from where they were, The Crimson Lion Company has arrived.
" The Free-City is a rich Empire so what do you expect " Harold spoke out.
Harold is the Vice-Captain of the Crimson Lion and A Blue Core User, He is quite experienced and skilled, He smiled brightly while the wind blew Heavily, They are currently here on a mission to Exterminate a demon.
" Listen everyone, We are here on a Mission to Exterminate the Single Marker Demon and every other demons that are responsible for all this killings but we will be resting in the Free-City tonight "
Captain Rudeus spoke out with smiles on his face, The Free-City offered them accommodations to suit their taste, They were all excited as they made their way into the Grand Gates of the Dentra Empire.
They were greeted by the Watchmen and the Guards of the Free-City, They are treated with respect since they are Huntsmen, Captain Rudeus looked around while riding around the Empire Gently.
They came in unison and their numbers are ranging to a Hundred!!
Princess Lily sighed, She has already been to the Free-City for more than twenty times already so it's nothing knew to her, Her Uncle....Prince Adrian used to take her with him when he had important meetings.
" Captain Rudeus, Where are the demons reported to have been attacking? Demons mostly appear at night but some demons like Marker Demons can attack during the day if necessary or they are hungry " Princess Lily said.
" Yes that's true, I think the Authorities will tell us what we need to know but first, We need to eat " Captain Rudeus said with smiles on his face when he suddenly stopped his horse and he came down from his horse.
" Captain, Where are you heading to? " Silas asked.
" We are all heading to were we will eat, Our horses will be kept here since this is the Free-City, Our Horses won't be stolen " Captain Rudeus said when everyone got down from their horses gently.
They kept their horses somewhere as they moved around strolling, They were looking for a Restaurant so they would eat till they are refreshed when one of them pointed at a Gigantic Restaurant.
" Guys....We will be heading there to eat but mind you, This Domain is filled with Criminals....The Free-City doesn't judge between Good and evil and we can't attack anyone within the Free-City and it's rules "
" So please be careful about controlling yourselves and Don't draw your Artifacts by any means " Captain Rudeus warned when he sighed, He had a feeling something is bound to happen but he has to be calm.
They made their way into the Grand Restaurant to see people eating while others were being served by the Waitresses, Since there are enough spaces....They all took their seats, All hundred of them.
They were served whatever they wanted to eat while vining amongst eachother!
Captain Rudeus sat down Besides The Princess with the New Recruits, Pedro, Anna, Silas and Gabriel while The Vice Captain Harold sat with his friends amongst the Crimson Lion Company, They were enjoying.
" Children, This is your first mission as members of the Crimson Lion Company.....I would like to see how you kids prove yourself " Captain Rudeus said while eating when Princess Lily nodded calmly.
She stared at her food for some minutes before she gave in, she started eating.
Anna and Silas were both cracking jokes and making it fun for them when the door leading into the Restaurant suddenly opened up, Princess Lily turned her eyes when her eyes were widened in shock.
The Figure who made his way into the Restaurant is someone she didn't expect to come, Boiling in anger while her eyes were fixed on him, Recognizing him on the spot, The Crafty smiles plastered on his face.
He is the man she has sworn to kill, The Deathmaker!!
The Deathmaker giggled softly when he entered into the Restaurant, His stomach were rumbling already and he needed to eat after traveling for quite sometime, He made his way to take his seat when he noticed something.
" Princess, what are you looking at? " Anna asked after she noticed the gaze of the princess fixed on something, Captain Rudeus frowned when he suddenly turned back to see The Deathmaker.
The Rest of the Crimson Lion Company present also noticed the Deathmaker and they were all filled with rage but they understood the rules, Princess Lily is the one who mostly had to urge to release her Artifact.
" Princess be calm, You should remember what I said before.....This is a Neutral ground! "
Captain Rudeus spoke out when he placed his hand on the shoulder of Princess Lily in the hopes of Calming her down, The Deathmaker could be seen walking around to find a seat when he noticed her gaze.
" Oh? I noticed someone was staring at me with malicious intents but I never expected it to be you Princess, How you doing? " The Deathmaker asked with smiles on his face as he faced her, He is calm as always.
" You prick....What are you doing here? " Princess Lily asked.
" It's none of your business spoilt brat, I can feel your urge to release your Artifacts and attack me right? But you know that can't happen or do you intend on breaking the laws of this Empire? " The Deathmaker asked.
" Mr, You are currently disturbing our meal.... Would you care to excuse us? " Captain Rudeus asked with calm voice when the Deathmaker slowly turned towards Captain Rudeus and he grinned evily.
" I remember you, You are the interesting Huntsman right? The one I spared during my break out from Lyxx and The Vermax Empire in total, What are you folks doing here by the way? " The Deathmaker asked.
" It's none of your business now scram off kid " Captain Rudeus Answered when the Deathmaker chuckled softly, He made a seat for himself besides The Princess when he sat down Comfortably.
" You know Old Man, There are many people who would cower in fear by my presence and yet you were nearly killed by me and still you still talk to me that way huh? I love your fearlessness " The Deathmaker said.
" Didn't you hear the old man, He said you are disturbing our meal " Gabriel voiced out.
The Deathmaker slowly turned towards Gabriel when he sighed, He slowly placed his leg on the table as he folded his arms, Princess Lily could be seen boiling in anger when she took a deep breath and she sighed.
" You know you made Enemies of the Vermax Empire twice by killing Prince Adrian, My Uncle and Attempting to Assasinate me and yet you casually sit Besides us huh? You really are a strange fellow " Princess Lily said.
" Huh? Now you are not boiling in anger anymore? What a boring girl you are " The Deathmaker said!
" Hmph, Naturally I would have released my Artifacts and sliced you up but I must follow the Laws of the Free-City, Pray we shouldn't meet outside the Empire cause you will be a dead man " Princess Lily said.
" I doubt that my lady, I've heard of the White Core which you awakened.... Challenging my record of awaking a Black Core, But there Is difference between us.....I could easily kill everyone one of you within five minutes "
" But no matter how much you try, You could even land a single hit of Me " The Deathmaker bragged!!
" Oh really? Very well then.....We will see about that when I slit your throat and chop off your head for your crimes against my family, Meanwhile we have a mission to complete " Princess Lily stated.
" A Mission to complete? Are you talking about the Single Marker Demon? It's located in the North of the Free-City, In a Town currently known as the Ghost Town because of the Single Marker attacks " The Deathmaker said.
" Huh? How did you know? " Princess Lily asked.
" You really think I wouldn't know such a thing, Well be grateful to me that I already gave you the necessary Informations to complete your mission, A Single Marker Demon is quite deadly unlike the other Demon I killed "
" And they are also Intelligent and smart by the way, Especially this was...It is a Ghost Type Demon after all " The Deathmaker said when he grabbed the plate of Princess Lily and he ate her food.
" What do you think you are going? " Princess Lily asked in shock.
" You are simply paying for the Informations I just gave you, I'm kinda broke so I will take your food, Have a nice time fighting the Demon " The Deathmaker said when he stood up from his seat with smiles on his face.
He held the plate while walking away when Princess Lily took a deep breath and she gnashed her teeths in anger, Clenching her fists on the table while veins spread across her face, Everyone remained quiet.
" That Bastard.....He is toying me as he did before me, I will kill him!! "
