The ship was indeed different. For one, there were paintings on the walls of the holds, weird abstract paintings that only someone with no real eye for art would buy.
"Ahem," A tall, pale, woman with a black eye patch said to get their attention. "If you'll come this way, I'll escort you to the bridge."
She said no more, simply led them to the bridge, well Ven and Lurecia anyway. The others were all directed to quarters that were segregated from the ship's crew. When they arrived on the bridge the woman moved aside. The captain appearing in finely tailored red uniform jacket that looked like it used to be a Sarcanus officer's uniform jacket, but now is embroidered with gold trimmings, a gold chain leading from one pocket to the waist, and other fanciful modifications.
The Captain smiled quickly going over to Ven. Placing a hand on each of his arms, nodding to him, then suddenly shoved him aside. Quickly taking Lurecia's hand. "Hello, Lucrecia, my name is-" he started to say coolly.
"Lurecia, sir," The woman from before interrupted in a calm and professional tone.
Captain Allous shot her an irritated look that didn't seem to phase her in the least. "Hello, welcome aboard my fine vessel," he finished with a smile to Lurecia. But then he snapped around to his subordinate. "Get us to the jump point with all haste. We don't want to be here when reinforcements show up."

When Ven and Lurecia were escorted to the ship they noted everything as they walked towads the bridge. As they arrived both noted both of the commanding officers only for Ven to be shoved aside at his annoyed.
"Hey-?!!", Ven managed to say only to noticed what kind of Captain this man was.
'Great a womanizer...', Ven thought.
Lurecia just watched at what happened which she wasn't surprised figuring his character already. As soon as he finished his introduction she finally replies in a tone full of authority that would make any man fear her, "An alright vessel it will get the job done but I seen much better. Oh, touch my hand again and you will regret it."

Allous laughed lightly. "Coming from a former Imperial Officer, that means a lot," he said with a smile, speaking in reference to her assessment of his ship. Ignoring her anger. "Anyways...to business. We're here under contract by Marquis Patriel Sarcanus. The contract states to help escort Ven Ablenor-" he want on to say before being interrupted once more.
"Avenor."
"-Avenor back to his homeworld," Captain Allous said as though he hadn't missed a beat. "I was to deliver a message as well. 'Ven, if you need this help, you're an idiot. Always have contingencies.' That's it," he said glancing in Ven's direction.

Ven heard the message then replies, "I guess so well when this is over I have a message as well. The message is , I will remember that as well Partial I ran into Empress Cirenia before the attack on the nobles. She was acting weird and something was not right. Whatever I still believe we can have dialogue before this goes too far. Something happened that caused this. As well be wary or a organization called Blackguard not sure who they are but managed to infiltrate even the capital. There is my message."
With that said Lurecia was surprised what Even just said soon says, "Ven are you sure about that? But saying dialogue when it was an unprovoked attack itself won't sit well with the council. In fact with the current state and continued attack on us its enough for a full declaration of war."
He soon nodded then replies, "I know sister but even so we have been loyal for over a century and not once this has happened. Whatever happened what I saw wasn't her. As well something happened when she forced her blood into me and surprised I didn't die, which itself makes no sense. Whatever as future duke I will not allow everything our ancestors worked hard for to be destroyed. Something is not right And I intend to find out."
Lurecia sighed then says, "Fine... the more I hear you the more I see our father. Captain let us get the hell out of here Imperial forces don't give up so easily til we are in southeastern region. I recommend to go to the nearest star base controlled by the Duchy Alliance. There Imperials will think twice before attacking."

"Actually we'll be jumping to an Imperial Star System. Not to worry. We've come up with several forged identities. This way. They'll look for us on the shortest route. While we take a slightly longer route and avoid further confrontation. So worry not. We always fulfill our contracts. So please relax in your quarters. My quarters are of course always open to you, Lurecia," Allous said quite confidently.

Ven nodded but as soon as he heard the offer to his sister he soon shook his head.
'Offer and you will become a eunuch...'
"Captain Allous the offer may sound tempting but... I believe you will no longer be able to have children in the future if you do.", Lurecia said with a sweet but cold tone.
Soon both Avenor went to their quarters hoping for the best to get back to the Southeastern Region.
