The group followed Frederick, who led them to a more private room. Marina and Marcial joined them in the way, and from the look on their faces, they were prepared to act if things went bad. When they entered the room, everyone was expecting a trap. However, as the look on their faces showed, it was not that kind of trap.
A man covered by a black armor and a cloak appeared from behind a pillar. Marcial, doubted for a second and then attacked him, but he was quickly dispatched, as the armored person sent him flying across the room with a mere punch.
"Useless old man..." "Please Sir Marcial, behave. His Magister is an important guest of mine. I'd rather don't have to repeat what I had to do with Karlson." "Wait, what? What did you do to our brother?" "Well, he has always been... Rude. He had a habit of not knocking before entering. I was forced to take drastic actions to prevent it from happening again. Wasn't I, Karlson?"As he says this, something walks from behind another pillar. It looks like a man, but it isn't hard to see that he has wounds that would have killed a normal person. When it walks closer the stench and grey skin make evident that whatever it is, it shouldn't be walking.
"Now he is a lot more polite, and I must say that slightly more intelligent. A fine work, all thanks to Mr Delacroix..." "YOU MONSTER!" "Get to the point, Frederick. Lord Gaul doesn't like delays." "Of course. Sister, Knights, I believe you must have heard of my guest, Arbiter Aizen of the Azur Alliance. Lord Gaul sent him and some of his men to help me get to the throne of Galgados. You see, I like the good old days of the Empire as much as any other man, but let's be honest. The so called Empress is a naive child that wouldn't be able to write her own name without the aid of several assistants. So I've decided to pick the winning side and ensure prosperity for me and for Galgados..." "Winning side? The Alliance is outnumbered. And if they are willing to ally with a fool like you they must be desperate!" "Shut up, idiot! You might be my sister, but believe me, I won't hesitate to make you share the same fate as our brother." "..."
