Ben was pissed beyond belief as he sat at the Medical Ward proper. Its only been an hour since he arrived with Ven in tow. After the battle he had with that freak, Ben was wondering what in the world could do such damage to Ven. Ven was a better knight then him by a long shot being chosen by Master Martin personally to learn and inherit the Way of the Blazing Rose which was itself a great honor for anyone on Aurlia.
Then again Ven was younger then him and always have trained his entire life to be a knight and a man to command a ship as well a ground force for his brother. Ben on the other hand simply did what he wanted he was in a way a spare like Ven but more so then his cousin. Yes he was a good knight but he truly excelled at piloting. Jin his other cousin could of easily been a religious idiot who had a bad temper, and too smart for his own good sometimes.
As Ben continued to sit in his chair outside the operation room he soon noticed two people walking up. It was interesting with both Patriel and Ven out of commission for the time being Ben finding that out only thirty minutes ago. Things were not looking great already three of the main seats of the student council has been taken out which made Ben even more not on ease.
'This is bad... if they can take out two of our best just like that then the guys we are messing with here are serious. No wonder the Director said to be on high alert, but seeing this even the best body guards will not be enough we are messing with a Master level guy with an group behind his back. This alone means... we are not even safe here. Damn it I need to warn the Princess but also... I can not believe I am saying this. Fucking James too this got to be a bad day.'
Ben was still in deep thought to not recognize two figures walking up to him.
"Earl Ben Avenor?", a female voice said which brought his head up to a beautiful green haired woman.
"Uhh yes and you are?", Ben asked suspiciously he didn't know who else was with this Frankenbolts guy.
"Ah we have not meet but I 'personally' know your cousin. I am Countess Esmeralda Darcy of House Darcy. This here is my companion and life long guard, Dame Felicia Quinlann. I came here that I heard about Marquis Avenor's uhh 'fight'. I hope to see that he still lives...", Esmeralda said with a cold facade.
Ben soon heard she knew Ven 'personally' which made him both jealous and wondered how did such a woman even note Ven. Most ignored him being all quiet and never talking to the opposite sex but damn!!
"He still lives I think I am not sure what damage he received but it was extensive... more then fighting William actually more then I ever seen him sustain. I am surprised he was still standing when I got there I swore he could drop dead in an instant when I saw how bad it was. I guess this is why he was chosen by Master Martin and was always visiting our grandmother as children.. uhh never mind the last part.", Ben soon added in.
Esmeralda smiled a false smile but something told Ben she knew something he didn't which made him more suspicious of the woman.
'House Darcy... House Darcy why does that ring a bell? House oh House Daarcy under Marquis Darcy of the Darkling Alliance a coalition of small houses that have taken a neutral stance to both House Avenor and House Gransela in the Southeast. Their alliance has over two dozen houses in it and control a massive region between both parties and is what kept peace.
Well sort of more like they are forced to ally with each other to be wiped out by the other Houses though the Empire does "protect" Lesser Houses the Empire sometimes just said so even if there was never an imperial ship in the region most of the time.
"Anyways my lord what happened anyways I am a bit worried on what could do this.", Esmeralda soon said which Ben didn't buy her face at all.
"Uhh let's see I am not sure exactly only arrived at the last moment to save him. He was about to be chopped into small pieces with chainsaws. I only know the guy in charge is ugly as shit and has robotic arms. I didn't catch a name only called him the first thing I could think of. Frankenbolts.", Ben soon replied.
"Frankenbolts?", Esmeralda looked skeptical as well Felicia made a face that look like she could believe this.
"I believe that name wouldn't work well with this man.", a elderly voice soon said as he walked with a help of a cane, came into view.
"Director Claude Veracruz!", Ben soon exclaimed which had Esmeralda on edge.
"I told you two do not get involved and now look.", Claude soon said as a doctor was right behind him.
"Excuse me uhh you must be all friends of the Marquis?", The Doctor asked.
Director Claude was first to speak then says, "I am Director Veracruz of the Order of the Swords of the Emperor. I have a few questions specifically the wounds the Marquis has sustained."
"Ah yes Director!! Well from what I can tell this is beyond my own capabilities internal injures are severe and some of his bones have been made into dust. The only a few in the galaxy that can actually work on this kind of injuries, sadly I am not one of them. I have at least stabilized Marquis Avenor to keep him alive and do what I could. To say at least I am completely surprised he survived like this the way he has. Whoever did this its unimaginable.", the Doctor soon said.
Director Claude over looked what were the injuries on the data pad soon saying, "Just as I suspected this only confirms it. This is very bad, more so then before. Ben Avenor I am going to deploy one of the Swords of the Emperor to guard both Ven Avenor and Patriel Sarcarus. As well I may need to discuss this with the Crown Princess herself this man your going against. He is not normal and from what I can tell he has escaped the Tower of Basalt which itself I cannot even imagine was possible.
Someone or something is out there to do some trouble which has slowly been brewing. The man is not named Frankbolts either just call him Ismael, or better name from fifty years ago, The Nightmare."
Ben soon got up then asks, "How do you even know who this is and why does it involve our grandmother!! Tell us!!"
"Not many even know this in fact almost all who lived at the time have died in some form or another either through old age or other unnatural means. This was even before the time of this current Emperor's reign. Only this man was a terrorist, murderer, a man who committed genocide, and an skilled assassin. I know this for I have meet the man on a few occasion before.
My unit back when I was only a simple Knight Captain of the Unit 187 we and other units were ordered to bring this man to justice. So many died to hunt him down it nearly killed Duchess Maria Avenor herself it even broke her completely. This was the case that lead to eventually retiring from our Order permanently I am not sure even now she is completely recovered as time passed. I do not know his goal but if I suspect it right... it can only be one thing.", Claude soon said looking stern toward Ben.
"What could that be?", Ben soon asked.
"Revenge.... it can only be one thing and that is revenge against those who stopped him. This includes me, your family, and...", Claude soon stopped himself.
"And?", Ben soon asked to be continued.
"And likely the Crown Princess herself will be a target being that of the Imperial Line and currently the most open for assassination.", Claude finished which made everyone's heart beat stop.
