The princess of the vermax empire, princess lily and the rest of the undercover agents returned back to the vermax empire after the deathmaker left, they were searched in case they brought anything dangerous.
Captain rudeus and the princess of the vermax empire were summoned before the council.
They are both summoned before the emperor of the vermax empire and those who will be present are the four platoon generals and the six military generals of the vermax empire and the twelve elders.
There are twelve elders of the empire who are regarded as high nobles at the similar ranks of the prime minister but they are the ones in charge of controlling the darkness of the vermax empire.
Every government has their own darkness and the ones who control that darkness are the elders!
The emperor of the vermax empire, emperor argilac could be seen sitted comfortably on his throne while lord rivers is seen standing besides the emperor while on the grand altar where the throne exists.
All the twelve elders were present in the throne room while standing firmly.
In the throne room, there exists only one sit and that is the throne of the vermax empire, no one is permitted to sit in the throne room except the one who is the emperor of the vermax empire.
Even the three royal princes of the vermax empire were present, the six military generals and the four platoon generals were also present, there were many nobles of the vermax empire that were present.
"Your grace, the representative of the crimson lion company has arrived."
One of the royal guards spoke out, he is the one in charge of announcing anyone that has been summoned before the emperor when emperor argilac took a deep breath and he sighed, he slowly caressed his beards.
"Let them in," the emperor calmly ordered when the door leading into the throne room gently opened up and the princess made her way into the throne while being followed by captain rudeus.
The captain of the crimson lion company in the hydra platoon.
All eyes were fixed on them, the princess's outfit shocked everyone, she wasn't dressed as the princess of the vermax empire but as a warrior, although she isn't putting on her battle suit but her outfit is that of a warrior.
"Greetings to you great emperor argilac of the vermax empire, the ruler of the central kingdoms and the protector of the realm, I rudeus orlmen, heir to the house orlmen and servant of the imperium."
"As the captain of the crimson lion company, I stand before thee to answer the questions that will be asked to me," captain rudeus spoke out when he fell on his knees and bowed his head before the emperor.
"I princess lily of the royal house, member of the crimson lion company stands before thee the emperor to answer every question that will be asked to me," princess lily stated while bowing her heads.
But only her is permitted not to kneel before the emperor.
"Very good, rudeus orlmen, you are of a noble born aren't you? The house orlmen ruled the dormen city and yet you chose to serve the empire as the captain of the crimson lion company, you are faithful to the cause," lord rivers voiced out.
"Thank you my lord, I live to serve the empire!!" captain rudeus said with honor.
"I will address you with your position, captain rudeus.....you were permitted by the emperor to investigate the trade and the source of the despicable demon fruits right? Although you have said some things."
"But before the emperor of the vermax empire, I would like you to reveal all what you said, there are lords and kings of the central kingdoms present, all at the feet of the emperor and the twelve elders."
"We would like to hear what you have to say about your undercover mission!!" lord rivers spoke out, his voice carried authority while everywhere remained calm but tensed, captain rudeus took a deep breath when he sighed.
"Your highness, we are grateful to serve you as your noble servants, and we are grateful to you for accepting such a mission to us, although we weren't able to completely destroy the trade of the demon fruits."
"But we brought in some useful informations!!" captain rudeus stated.
"And what useful informations are those?" the first elder spoke out, the twelve elders are from the twelve high kingdoms in the vermax empire, since they are elders of the empire, they can't become kings.
"The source of the demon fruits production is the dark magic organization officially known as withsterak, the dark magic organization is one of the three private organizations that holds great powers in the west."
"That way, they were able to produce the demon fruits and sell them out," captain rudeus answered.
"The dark magic organization? Isn't that an independent organization that has no affiliation to any empire of sorts? Their powers are similar to that of an empire but yet they are no empire, they are quite secretive."
"Although they are quite strong and popular but aren't they moving too far from their line? They should know that the fourteen empires are against the demon fruits and yet they produce it to trigger something more chaotic."
"Tell us captain rudeus.....who are the ones personally in charge of trading the demon fruits for the dark magic organization? They can't possibly be doing that themselves since it will become even more provocative?"
"Did you figure out those who are partnered with them?" the second elder calmly asked.
"Yes we did, there are only two who are responsible for the constant trade of the demon fruits, I would love to drop their names but it doesn't matter anymore because they are both dead," captain rudeus answered.
"They are both dead? What are you talking about? Did you kill them?" the third elder asked.
"I wish, but it wasn't us who killed them, the one who assassinated them is also an enemy of us, the deathmaker....he was also investigating the demon fruits since he didn't approve of their ways of doing things," captain rudeus answered.
"The deathmaker huh? That brat who killed my brother, I still can't believe he is still breathing, that brat should just rot in hell and perish," the second prince cursed out while he is seen gnashing his teeth angrily.
"Be calm second prince, the emperor is here....and besides, you aren't the one who loots that brat, be rest assured....his life will soon be stripped from him, he will be crushed by the vermax empire."
One of the six military generals voiced out with smiles on his face.
He is a man known as the soldier of liberty, a soldier who has won several wars for the vermax empire, the military general axel dante, once a commoner but he rose his house into the line of nobles.
He is one of the vermax empire's strongest soldiers and one of the grand six generals, the highest ranked military soldiers of the vermax empire, he is a man whose battle suit is that of a single horned demon.
"The deathmaker, that cursed boy who keeps interfering in things he shouldn't, but he saved the princess once again, even though he is the worst criminal of the vermax empire, he is still the one who saved the princess."
The second military general spoke out when she smiled brightly!!
A monster in the form of a woman, she is heavily endowed with her soft huge boobs and ass, quite seductive by nature but when it comes to war, she is a monster, a woman who is from one of the twelve high kingdoms.
Cathelyn snow, she was once the prince's tutor!
"It doesn't matter lady cathelyn, the deathmaker is still a brat who has gone against our authority and he is our most wanted criminal, he will be out to death soon enough, he can run but he can't hide from us."
Frank dominic, a member of the four platoon generals, the platoon general of the sila platoon, a young man who is also one of the princess's suitors, he is also the son of one of the twelve elders..
"Rosa castle.....was that the name of the assassin sent to kill you? princess," the voice of the emperor caused the entire throne room to tense, although he rarely fights but it is recorded that emperor argilac.
He is the strongest emperor in the history of the vermax empire!!
A man who was once nicknamed as the lion of hell, he is the only one who is said to be a rival of lord benjin castle once, all the thirteen empires are considered the strongest beings of the western empires.
"Yes father, rosa castle.....an exiled member of the house castle and the sister of lord benjin castle, she was the one who was sent by the dark magic organization withsterak to take me out since I was interfering in their works."
"I could have been killed and even captain rudeus fought to protect me with his last breath, but she was a different monster, I'm sorry but I couldn't kill her with my own strength," princess lily said with a sad look on her face.
"Oh? rosa castle? I've heard of her.....isn't she the demon of the north? A monster of monsters, tell us princess.....who was the person who saved you?" lady cathelyn snow calmly asked.
"The deathmaker!!" princess lily answered.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, that deathmaker kid really is amazing, he has us all roped up with his case despite being just seventeen years old, I would love to meet him and even take him as my apprentice," the hydra platoon general butcher hagan said while laughing out loud.
"Platoon general butcher hagan, "Platoon General Butcher Hagan, do you understand that your words can be seen as treason? Watch your words," Lord Rivers spoke out when the Platoon General Butcher Hagan giggled softly.
"My bad, but who can blame me? Although that kid is quite the criminal, he has done a lot of things that we couldn't do. Isn't it a waste to just have him executed when we could use him?" the Platoon General Butcher Hagan asked.
"The Platoon General Butcher Hagan, you are one of the few who had fought by my side for a long time, so I will ignore your words. The Deathmaker has saved my daughter three times already, so I should owe him."
"But he is the bastard who killed my brother, my little brother Prince Adrian, so he will be executed by no one other than the Vermax Empire. For saving my daughter, he will no longer be known as the most wanted."
"But we have to do something about this dark magic organization Withsterak. They sent assassins to kill my daughter, so they mustn't be forgiven. After the death of their main partners in their trade."
"It seems they are trying to expand their control in the West."
"I will crush their plans, but first, my daughter, Princess Lily of the Vermax Empire. You are strong, the first in history to awaken a white core and the youngest in Vermax history to obtain two skills at such a young age."
"You are a qualified huntsman, but you are not a soldier. You will be trained by the military general Cathelyn Snow while still being in the Crimson Lion Company. You will be part of the two forces."
Emperor Argilac spoke out with authority, and his words shocked everyone.
Even the princess couldn't believe her ears. It's nearly impossible for one to be part of the military and also the demon hunting corps, and yet the emperor wants his daughter to be part of them both.
"Thank you, father, for this precious gift you have given me. I will make sure I become stronger than everyone, and I will be the one who avenges the death of Prince Adrian, the one who takes the head of the Deathmaker."
"It will be no other than me," Princess Lily declared when she crossed her chest with her arm!
Emperor Argilac gazed at his daughter when he smirked evilly. He could see her mother in her, but Princess Lily was far too chaotic. Although she is a noble princess, she has never proven to be one.
She will be a monster who will be the end of all those who stand against the Vermax Empire!
