**Verania Kingdom**

  Three days had pass since the emergency meeting in the royal throne, Verania Kingdom had risen security near the borders of Croles Kingdom and is currently trying to get a meeting with King of Croles. But it will take one more week for the diplomatic to arrive so until then more time has been spent on preparing the kingdom for war and investigating the misfortunate. During the investigation, the CBI and Duke Adam had discovered more information that needed to be shared.

  [Your highness, when CBI continued the investigation, we had discovered an unfinished graveyard.] (Duke Adam)

  [Anything else?] (King Mark)

  [We also had discovered corpses of the soldiers.] (Duke Adam)

  [Hmm...sounds like the villigers had time to throw out the corpses and dug out a graveyard.] (Queen Sugarbon)

  [But the questions that now need to be answer is 'was there two attempt on the attack? If so, how did they successfully defend from the first attack?'] (King Mark)

  [From common knowledge and past experiences, the villigers could not had protected themselves from the attack.] (Duke Adam)

  [Meaning that there was something or someone that was powerful enough to stop the attack.] (Queen Sugarbon)

  While the King and Queen were pondering on the topic, Duke Adam was thinking of the reason why such a fellow or thing would do such goodness only for the first attack, but not the second attack. During the meeting between the Royalty and Duke Adam, two individuals continued to stalk their prey.

  **Akuma & Tenshi**

  For the past three days, they manage to learn a bit more about their enemies. One thing about the soldiers is that even through they are weak, they are quite trained. Whoever the leader is, that person is quite resourceful and probably had past experiance on related to the military. Giving Akuma more excitement for an entertaining battle. But he'll have to gather more intel. Afterall, information is the key to victory.

  Two more days had passed since Akuma and Tenshi decided to follow the soldiers from Croles Kingdom. The villigers were put into a huge cage and were fed with leftover breads. The villigers were in a state where one could call them miserable. But luckily, they were all spared from physical abuse until now. Since the past few hours, male villigers had received beatings from three soldiers. As for the females, there were few glances from several soldiers with bad intentions in them but none had taken action.

  [I'm so hungry!] (Tenshi)

  Akuma glanced at Tenshi and gave out a long sigh.

  [Guess we're gonna have to go with Plan B.]

  (Akuma)

  [Plan B? You never said anything about Plan B.] (Tenshi)

  [I just thought of it right now. Plus I'm hungry and you're hungry. It's not like we can fight on an empty stomach.] (Akuma)

  [Fine! So what is Plan B anyway?] (Tenshi)

  [Disguised ourself as the soldiers.] (Akuma)

  [With magic?] (Tenshi)

  [Of course with magic.] (Akuma)

  [Come to think of it. Why didn't we do that earlier?] (Tenshi)

  [Well I said our plan was to stalk them, not disguised ourself and blend in.] (Akuma)

  [It would have still been a better plan than starving to death.] (Tenshi)

  She then started to pout.

  [Hey, hey, hey. Cheer up. We'll be the first one to taste this world food.] (Akuma)

  [...] (Tenshi)

  [But you know, let's make this a bit more interesting.] (Akuma)

  **The Soldiers**

  As the sun starts to set down, the regiment starts to make camp for the day. Then a soldier stood up quickly and shouted,

  [Lord Tybalt, there's movement in the forest!] (Soldier)

  [Men, prepare for an attack!] (Lord Tybalt)

  Everyone formed a formation facing the movements in the forest and in the backline were the archers along with Lord Tybalt. Each men on the frontline draws out their spear and sword. While the archers had an arrow resting on the bracing of their longbow. Lord Tybalt on the other hand only puffs out his chest and didn't even bothered drawing his sword. Seconds had pass since any of them move which later felt like minutes. Two shadows suddenly rushed out from the forest. It was a man and a woman who look like they were out of breath. The man was young and handsome. He was terriblely injured with a wound on the side of his stomach. His companion on the other hand, the woman, was also young and pretty. To be in fact, she was able to charm every soldier in the formation.

  [Help us! My wife and I were ambushed by wolves.] (Man)

  [Please, I beg you.] (Woman)

  Suddenly a dark figure pops out from the forest and pounce on a soldier. Quickly ending his life by crushing the neck bone.

  [Kill the wolf!] (Lord Tybalt)

  A second later when he said that, two more wolves rush out and pounce into the frontline formation of soldiers. By doing so, the formation fell apart causing confusion. However it didn't last long and the soldiers starts to fight back. The wolves knowing that they were outnumber and along with the element of surprise gone; they retreat back into the forest.

  [Treat the wounded. As for you two,] (Lord Tybalt)

  Lord Tybalt gives the young man and woman a menacing look.

  [Who the hell are you two?] (Lord Tybalt)

  The young man took a step closer to Lord Tybalt and with the setting sun behind his back he replied with a big grin on his face.

  [I am Black and my wife is Mia.]
