We stayed at the mansion for two more days. Lucia played with the children a lot during these two passing days. I had a suspicion that she already knew what was going to happen. I thought about maybe bringing one or two of them, but in the end, it would likely be even more cruel than not and they would make the escape much harder. No one told her about the plan, in case she decided to resort to some rather extreme measures in order to protect the children. I spent most of my days walking around the mansion with Muichiro and Lily, we kept a look out to see if there were any advances by Reid's army. The plan actually hoped for Reid and Daario's armies to come into contact with each other near the centre of Gavaria. This way, due to their already poor relations, it might work in weakening them. Not much was told about what I was meant to do after finding Alfonso. Muichiro had told me that he was a powerful Warrior, on par with Mal. Although at best it would just delay Reid should he a

I woke up to the sound of talking outside the carriage. Could someone have found out about us? "I just needed to see a friend, his name is Ritsu." I looked outside the carriage. The guard was shocked by his words. It would've been very bad news if someone found out that Lucia was in here, but for some reason this person seemed to know me instead. I decided that going out and speaking to him was the best idea, if they knew me, there was a chance that they could've been an ally. I stepped outside and joined the guard. "It's really you!" The boy shouted. I had plenty of times were people would recognise me for no reason, likely due to something I had forgotten about my past and so forth, so this wasn't exactly extraordinary. "I suppose so." I responded "Can we talk in private?" He asked. He was someone who I didn't recognise, although his demeanour seemed relatively friendly. With my sword on my hip, I decided to take him up on the offer and I asked the guard to leave us for now.

"I'm Lily's father." "Lily's... father..." I was struggling to comprehend what was going on. From her story, I had always though that her father was dead. Yet this person standing before me was claiming to be her father. "Well, I don't have much else to say to you." I picked up my sword off the ground. "I'll tell Lily you said hi, okay?" He turned his back on me. "Universal Sword, Sixth Form, Break." "Huh?" The shockwave produced from my attack tore into his back, ripping his clothing and drawing blood. He winced in pain, seemingly surprised by my attack. "What is wrong with you?" He drew his sword again. "I don't care who you are, you better expect pain if you think attacking me out of the blue is acceptable." "Stop it, I let you live!" "Should I be grateful for you mercy now?" He poised himself to fight, holding his sword in front with his two feet planted firmly into the ground. "You're going to regret this." "Universal Sword, Third Form, Arctic Blizzard!" My en

"Musical Sword, First Form, Triplet Rhythm." Powerful shockwaves were sprayed towards Ferren, they came in three waves, crashing into him as he blocked with his sword. His technique was still as clean as ever, rediverting the force of the attacks, cracking the ground beneath him. On his way to find his 'daughter' Lily, he suddenly found himself in a skirmish with one of Reid's soldiers. They were a quite powerful one at that, having access to a unique magical sword. He had just gotten away from Ritsu, who had embarrassed him, defeating him with relative ease after using his advanced forms. Stabilising on the rough ground, Ferren got into an attacking posture. "Musical Sword, Forth Form, Dissonance Score." Suddenly a painful, disorienting sounds protruded from the soldier's blade. This caused Ferren to somewhat lose his balance, almost falling to the ground. Still continuing the attack, the soldier rushed towards him, raising his sword above his head. Just as it looked like Ferre

Reid drew one of his swords, the devil sword. He was up against Muichiro and Mal. Lily had confronted Finn, who was the owner of the light sword. The desperate battle would commence. * "Devil Sword, First Sword, Bereshit." Reid thrusted his sword towards Muichiro who was forced to react with extremely minimal time. Reid's attack was extremely fast, the likes of which Muichiro had practically never seen before. He unleashed his Royal Art as fast as he could. "Royal Arts, Itto Raikiri!" He swung his scythe as fast as he could, forming a gigantic cloud of dust, circling the area. However, it was still not swift enough to completely block Reid's attack, receiving cuts on his wrist and arm. Reid advanced upon Muichiro but then was forced to block an attack from Mal. "Royal Arts, Explode." The attack managed to connect with Reid, however, despite how strong it was, it still did minimal damage, doing nothing more than simply soiling Reid's clothing and giving him a slight irritation
