Spoiler for Chapter 9: The Roussel:

“What!?”exclaimed Erica

“yes, arwin and emily have gone to the Ferenz mansion, they are probably trying to work things out and Gilbert returned, he said he now knew what the cure is and quickly left”explained Irena

Marco and Erica had returned from their meeting at Agarot with the council and now witnessed the situation, the guild and the city was in

“alright i shall at once join them” said Erica and was making for the guild entrance

“No, wait” said the master “the job has been assigned to them let’s see whether they succeed in it, let’s wait here for now”

“but master, we can’t let the city’s fate be in the hands of those idiots, people are dying out there, if he fails , if he-“

“calm down Erica, if he fails there are other ways to handle it, and besides most of are mages are bed ridden, the war hasn’t reached here, so we need someone here to defend the guild in case that happens. For now wait here is all we can do” said the master.

It was starting to get dark slowly. At the western edges away from the main city was ware house area, in which a strip of ware houses was owned by the Lord Ricardo Ferenz, somewhere around the ware houses a young mage was lurking with lighting his way with a blue flame in his palm, he was surveying the Ferenz liquor storage house, at the main war house, a party of Ferenz guard were posted to their duty,

(Gilbert)i can’t just walk upfront and ask them for information, specially now they will be extra careful

At the entrance of the ware house four guards were posted, suddenly the guard heard some noise that caught their attention, they heard the sound of moaning of a young woman in pleasure,

“hey you hear that looks like someone couldn’t wait till they got home” said one of the guard with a grin

“looks like it is coming from behind that warehouse over there” said another “let’s go take a peek” they broke of their position
“hey stop!”said the incharge “don’t you understand that we are in a critical situation, not even a slightest mistake will not be tolerated”
“oh come boss just a little while, there is no one here it’ll be alright” said the guard

The voice of the woman grew louder and intense, and faces of the guards grew more desperate and their pants grew tighter with their rising manhood.

“you here that boss, it’s as if they are calling us to watch” said another guard

“alright you people wait and guard here, i’ll go and check what this noise is” said the incharge



“aww, no fair boss!, you want all the fun to your self” said the guard
“hey someone needs to guard here, i’ll be back soon” said the incharge

Much as gilbert had expected that the one with the highest authority will try to hog the fun for himself, the incharge guard went to the opposite building to enjoy the show, he went behind and turned around the corner away from the sight of the other guards, he reached the sight and found a crystal glowing in the dark, he picked it up

“what the fuck is this” said the confused head guard, suddenly a drop kick landed on him from above gilbert quickly grabbed the neck of the head guard landed a few magic infused punches in his guts, he slamed him into wall, he strangled his throat not to kill but just enough so that he couldn’t shout.

“hey listen to me, now answer what i ask” said gilbert in a raged voice

“fuck you motherfucker” said the head guard in compressed and tiny voice, gilbert slamed his head in the wall again

“you hear that” said a guard where the guard were waiting” looks like it’s getting wild” he said

“now answer me” said gilbert

“wait, who are you what do you want” said the head guard in a tiny fearful voice

“i want information” said gilbert “did anything unusual occur within the past few days with the supplies and good of Lord Ferenz”

“i don’t know what you are talking about” he replied, gilbert landed another punch in his gut

“ok, ok, ...yes yes about two days ago, a party of roussel guards came here, they beat us down, but when we recovered nothing was stolen or damaged and .....”

“and ?”asked gilbert

“there was someone with them a young man in mid twenties in rich noble clothes leading the party, he was the one who first attacked us with magical red flame, it saw all blurry but he did something, he...he poured a small flask of blood on a parchment and then ....then i don’t know anything, ..please don’t kill me!”

“alright then” said gilbert, gilbert took the glowing crystal and turned it and increased the volume and left it on the ground

“oh! yes, oh! God!,... yes yes, ....ah..ah..ah.ah!!”were the words the guards were
hearing from their posts

“oh man”said one of the guard”you hear that, they are doing it pretty hard, damn it! Why hasn’t boss returned yet”he said

“let’s see now”said another guard, all the guards moved from their posts and went to the scene, there they found their head captain was all naked except for his undies, and was all tied up with a piece of cloth of his own clothes stuffed in his mouth and tied.

“Boss!!, what happened to you!?

Gilbert was going over the roofs in the city, there were no guards on the roof or the ground to stop him, he saw that most of the fight was over at the main points, there was smoke rising from some parts and a few parts were lit by red flame. The guards had battled out dealing great damage on both sides, only at few sites the battle still remained.

(Gilbert) so she was right someone did curse the liquor, and that someone was leading a party of the Roussel guards, there is no doubt in it, i have to kill that
“someone” member of the Roussel family.

At the Roussel mansion, the area was secured from all the fighting and many of the guards were stationed at every corner, arwin and emily were hiding in a narrow dark alley in the neighbourhood of the noble mansion, a guard was checking the area, he went through the alleys to make sure no one breaches the security, as he was patrolling he was suddenly pulled in the dark and struck unconscious by an unknown figure, at the gates of the mansion an injured dark brown haired guard was heading towards he entrance he, the incharge captain stopped him,

“hold on!, what happened to you?”the captain saw the guard was bleeding from him temple and a cut at the right side of his chin, half of his face was covered with bandage to prevent the bleeding from his head,

“Captain, my unit was attacked by a mage, probably hired by the Ferenz, the mages killed all i managed to escape but my face...., also the head captain is dead” said the brown haired guard

“what!?, the head captain....”, this news caused a ruckus in the guards which lowered their confidence, it caught the attention of all the guards there, everyone passing comments and discussing on the topic

“everyone!, be at your stations” said the incharge captain to control the guards and keep them steady, the brown haired guard fell to his knees in pain.

“you, go the infirmary and get yourself fixed, we will now need every arm we can”he ordered

The injured brown haired guard entered the mansion grounds, all the security was working outside which left almost no security in the insides, he went in the backyard of the mansion, arwin removed the roussel guard uniform and tore off the bandaged from his face, he had successfully infiltrated the mansion and breached it’s defences, behind he found a small back door and entered into the back entrance to the kitchen, he found the chef and a couple of other cooks, before anyone could react he quickly casted a spell and blasted a smoke screen of black smoke in the kitchen, everyone was stunned at their places, arwin used another spell and quickly transported from one person to another and knocked them unconscious, the smoke cleared and he was left alone in the kitchen on his feet, he looked around and found the kitchen was impressive, stacked with vegetables, meat and booze and had all the machinery and tools required for a real royal kitchen to cook real royal delicacies. He found some dishes of shrimps, lamb, fish on the main table, he grabbed a bottle wine which was a different production from the ferenz, took a few bites and few sips of wine and relaxed for a while, he was exhausted by all the fighting and running from the day, if only there was a bed in the kitchen he would has dozed off, but he was now very close to completing his mission, he got up was made for the door inside.


“i’ll finish this real quick now” he spoke to himself

He opened the door, to his luck there was no one outside, he slipped in to the hallway and blended into the noble house, the Roussel mansion was at par with the Ferenz mansion in it’s style, royalty and wealth, there were great hallways leading to various parts of the mansion, there were sculptures and paintings around, marble floored, he went from one direction to another and finally reached the great hall which had a fountain right in the middle, plants which were given various shapes at the corner, the floor was covered with velvet carpet, the great hall was a perfect place to have a grand royal party, on the other end he saw a grand staircase which led to the upper floor, he saw a few servants and a couple of guards on the opposite side going about their business, he quickly took cover behind some plants and hid himself, after they were gone he moved in the hall whirling around the decoration and rolling the floor, he went over the staircase to the upper floor,

(Arwin)now where will i find him, at a time like this he would be either in his bedroom or at a command hall, but how do i enter such a room, it is surely to guarded at the entrance

Alberto Roussel the head of the Roussel family, was resting in his arm chair at a long meeting table, in the meeting hall of his mansion along with a few advisors sitting beside him,they sat close discussing the current situation, the hall was lit only around them with magical orbs hanging in mid air, the corners where filled with darkness of the night and the moonlight was shining entering from the huge arch window behind the table which covered almost the entire wall, there were other windows at the other walls facing the backyard of the mansion.

As they were discussing, one of the servant messenger rushed in

“master i am sorry for barging in, but i have urgent news, the Head Captain Flint is dead”said the messenger

“what!?, ........where is Charles” asked Alberto

“the young master is leading his party in the battle,.........and master there is something else,....someone has infiltrated the mansion, one of the servants found the cooks and a servant unconscious in the kitchen”

“what!?”said alberto in disbelief, ”how did this happen!? , where were the guards!, ....call everyone in and find him now!”he yelled

“yes master, at once” said the messenger and went running

“......and listen” he called, the messenger stopped” summon Charles back, i need him here”

“yes master”

Arwin was wandering through the mansion in stealth avoiding the servants and the guards, hiding in the dark or using magic to camouflage himself in the surroundings, he avoided killing them as more dead bodies lying around would create more trouble .After sometime he noticed the guards activities had increased inside, he realized that his cover was blown and they were aware of an uninvited guest in the house. At the end of a hallway he found a window , he went to it and looked out, he saw the backyard of the mansion below, he looked up and saw another large window on the second floor, from there he could see some lights and some voices, the room above was a happening one, he looked around and saw the outer walls were made of stone masonry, he climbed out of the window and grabbed it’s edge, above was a line of lanterns hanging by rods lighting the exterior, he jumped and grabbed and pulled himself on it, he climbed above further along the wall, holding on the edges of the stones used for the construction, in sometime he came to the above window and peeped inside and saw the head of Roussel household along with his advisors.

As their meeting continued one of the advisor got up and came to a backyard window to get some fresh air, he opened the window a double kick landed on his face from above, he fell back and arwin stepped inside the meeting hall, arwin blasted another smoke screen and the room was filled with black smoke, Alberto stood still in his place frightened after a few moments the smoke cleared and he saw his advisors fallen to the ground and in front of him stood young mage his black coat and hair flying by the wind coming from the window and shining green eyes in the dark like a demon,

“Guards!, Guards!”he cried, there was smacking on the entrance but it was magically sealed now

“w-who are you, what do you want?”he asked, his feet trembling

“you are the one responsible for this chaos, you poisoned the city and the guild” said arwin

“what are you talking about!?, you stupid man”said Alberto

“oh but i also need to thank you for doing so, atleast some deserved to be poisoned” said arwin referring to Gus, “anyway, you are needed dead, i am just doing my job”said arwin and stepped ahead

“you fool, you don’t understand!, you-“ before Alberto could complete his words arwin was standing close to him and the Greywand was half way through Alberto Roussel’s body, a stream a hot blood from the noble man ran along the sword and dripped on the floor, in the dark silence the drops of blood falling in the floor was the only sound that could be heard.
