"Either way you can't be stronger than my oni. Good thing Remilia
isn't here." She mutters. "I'm going easy you know. This sword is
slow." Flandre said, demonstrating by trying to hit him.
"What the...?" Forge said. He took out his gun and tried to make it
through the crowds. "What the hell is going on?" He asked someone
sitting nearby, completely calm.

How charged with punishments the scroll,

Forge nodded. He also noticed her slip something into her pocket.
"And I'm Vice Admiral. What's that in your pocket. Don't try and
hide it." He pointed his gun at the stranger. He was aware that he
was pointing it at a princess, but he basically owned every
security man here, so he didn't mind.

"I'm Auraora. I was just putting my medicine back in my
pocket."Auraora said before noticing a few guards run into the
room. "Why did this guy have to come here...."Auraora though
annoyed.
Len saw someone point a gun at the princess. "Flandre, your match
will have to wait." He said. She nodded as the two walked towards
the princess. "What are you doing, pointing a gun at the princess?"
Len said, noticing Flandre was flying.
Stone rolled his eyes. "You don't know me like you think." He
watched them walk away. Curious about the princess, he followed
with his sword still drawn. "Mind explaining why exactly you're
doing that?" He asked Forge in an unfriendly tone.
"Guys." Forge said. Instantly, five burly guys with guns appeared.
"John Forge, military Intelligance. Until we've ran tests on that
'medicine', the princess is detained under suspicion if murder. I'm
sorry, but no one is above reproach. My guys have got another few
people cornered." Forge said. "And unless you want to join them, I
suggest you stand down."

"Like I care about your people. You can't make the princess do
anything. Her mother hired me for a reason. I can't die and i can
regenerate my body. I hardly have a weakness. Now if you put the
guns down, I won't crush your eye." Flandre said. "We will do
anything to protect her. You shall not lay a finger on her without
your body being brutally exploded into millions of pieces." Len
said.
"Such an extreme way to protect the princess..." Stone muttered and
put his sword away. "I guess I should take my leave now. I wouldn't
want to be around the princess's servants if they usually threaten
to murder people." He sighed. "Alright Forge. Do what you must, but
do not harm the princess." He said and turned around, then headed
for the exit.
"Its a good thing I switched the poison bottle with the medicine
bottle...."Auraora though giggling quietly but still nervous as she
looked over to the table as a bottle filled with green stuff
crashed on the floor when falling off the table.
Forge looked at Flandre. "Look, you have a job and you're trying to
do it. I respect that. So can you, in turn, let me do my job under
the promise that the princess will come at no harm from me?" He
asked. "I have a job, an honestly, the only thing that will
stop me is me being blown to a billion pieces."

"Murdering is Flandre's job, I simply trick them into death." Len
smiled innocently. "I'm a maid." She huffed. "...Although I
do enjoy watching bodies explode before me." Flandre mutters. "She
needs her medicine and we can't afford to waste it. I'm sorry but
you can't simply take it. You should show some respect to your
majesty. Afterall, she will be the future queen due to the queen's
death." He said.
"Idiots." Stone mumbled to himself on his way out. He walked back
to the village and stopped to look around. "Who should I rob
today...?" Then he found a large house with a few people just
walking out of it. He chuckled and neared the entrance. "Perfect."
"Poison. I'll test the shards if the bottle and the liquid. Then
we'll know who the real culprit is." Forge lowered the gun. "Until
then, you can all get out of here."

"Later." Forge said. "Now this is delicate work, leave me be." He
started picturing the scene in his head. The prince, given the
bottle by a stranger. Setting down the bottle and getting up.
Falling back down. In the rush, the culprit could've easily
escaped. Or perhaps they had been someone still in the room, biding
their time? He sent the mission video feed back to base where the
Director could have a look at it.

"Ok then...."Auraora said before going to the kitchen for something
to eat. "Huh...... There are shards of glass here....
Weird."Auraora said before picking them up and put them in a bag
before making a sandwitch.
Stone escaped from the house with a small bag of money in his hand
and darted down the street with a man running after him. "Get back
here!" He shouted. Stone ignored him and turned down an alleyway
with a wall at the end. Thinking fast, he used his sword to hoist
himself up, then jumped down on the other side. The man reached the
wall just as he did so, but found no way to get over. He chuckled
evilly and headed for the other side of the town with 'his' money
hidden. "Heh. Too easy."
