[Beastman Kingdom, Sachmis's house]

[New female paladin of Demon kingdom point of view]

"She's the only one that knew the location of the Holy Beast of Fire, Hell Tiger Har, and yet she didn't want to use it..." [Leogris]

"That's correct, though I must correct you about something. While the official statement do say she's being murdered by those wanting the coup, that wasn't really the case" [Old Lion]

"You mean, she was!" [Leogris]

"That's correct. This is Sachmis we are talking about. She managed to survive and are on the run ever since then. Don't you find it strange that the True Beastman Group leader, Simba actually disappear, almost without a trace for a short while" [Old lion]

"Then you mean, she and Simba are on the run together" [Leogris]

"That's correct. Why she didn't bother to come back home after all the commotion happen, is beyond my knowledge... and frankly, I would like to know it as well..." [Old lion]

He tightens his grip, before sipping a cup of tea. It seems like there is a period of time where even he didn't know what happened to Sachmis

"Then, could it be Singa was born during this time? Around the time of the succession war?" [Druser]

"Singa? Born?" [Old lion]

"I'm not surprised if you didn't know, though... your highness, please let King Leogris explain to him. Don't just suddenly jump into the big revelation" [Paladin]

"Already becoming like Aries..." [Druser]

"Well..." [Leogris]

As King Leogris explain about what happened at Estel, and how Singa show all of us the pendant of Sachmis, which belong to this house, the old lion eyes become fully dilated, couldn't be more obvious as how shocking of the revelation it is, to know that he actually have a grandchild that he doesn't know

"Are you serious..." [Old lion]

"I am. Believe us, all of us are equally surprised as well when he shows us that pendant" [Leogris]

Now then, what will he says

[Estel adventure guild]

[Samurai Jack point of view]

Three big incidents happen just as Ash left Estel

The first being of course, the infiltration of the true beastman group into Estel, with their most likely target Farhah. We were told that she was a special kind of elf, one that's different from any kind of elf. Even our elves adventures were surprised when they found out about her being an Avery. We are not sure about what exactly an Avery is, and those elves adventures seems reluctant to tell us about it . It's not that they're plotting something bad, but more like they're keeping this a tight secret, as they're concerned about what will happen if the information of an Avery in Estel. It's frustrating but I agree with them keeping it a secret, even those true beastman group that we captured doesn't really know what an Avery is, just that they're ordered to kidnap her as they were told she's important. If what an Avery is being exposed, and more and more people know about it, then the threat surrounding Farhah will increase multiple folds

"Right. Today will be our rotation to watch over the orphanage area" [Syah]

"Borg, Lin, how about your children?" [Mimi]

"Kat and Blanc will be with the orphans. As for Ray and Mile, they're old enough to take care of themselves" [Borg]

"Though that doesn't mean we should neglect them. They will most likely having a sleepover on the orphanage together with the younger two" [Lin]

With that out of the way, the second problem arises. When we are all disposing of the dark guild member, one of the traitorous demon prince shown himself. He is saving those escapees from the dark guild while also releasing the immature boa, which are under the influenced of the artificial blessings

"To think those two decided to show up now out of all times" [Aries]

"Sorry. If only we manage to capture them beforehand" [Anjin]

"Sorry" [Kucin]

"Don't worry. Your report about them is valuable without a doubt. I already have the copy of your report from Malsia's guild master, and we will distribute it to all of you. Make sure to read it!' [Ram]

"Right!" [Other]

"You can take the copy in the counter after the meeting of course" [Lisa]

Report aside, those pair S rank adventure do tell us about it. It seems likely that those two traitorous princes are involved with the Achalasia Externa group, as evidence by their possession of portal stone. Their current objectives however was unknown, but we are going under the pretext that they're as dangerous as Motra

Third, the sudden appearance of the serial killer dwarf. This send chill down to our spine, as the infamous dwarf are known for his tenacity and the number of victims that he killed... It wouldn't be exaggeration if a scholar that study about him says that he single-handedly kills more than a thousand person during his killing spree. While he was active in Estel the most, he was also reported doing those horrible deeds in other countries, making those numbers, believable

"If only we could catch him! I'm ashamed of myself for letting him escape" [Dwarf adventure]

"Your life are important as well. Should I come a moment late, then who knew what will happen to you" [Naoto]

"True, Erinmorlin will be sad shall you suddenly fall victim to him" [Aries]

"Still, just why did he suddenly appear?" [Rean]

"True. His timing with the appearance of true beastman group as well as the traitorous princes couldn't be a mere coincidence. While we can't rule out he isn't related to those two groups, we also couldn't rule the possibility that he is related to them. For now, Princess Diana, Sir Ceanu Reaves and I agree that we are going under the pretext that he is working together with them" [Muse]

"If that was indeed the case, then we should increase our patrol activity as well. Also, make sure that none of us are ever alone while going out on patrol, especially lower ranking adventures. A mere number might be nothing but a laughable advantage on his eyes, might also stimulate him to attack those larger group, but alas, it's much safer that way" [Jacks]

"Take note of what Jacks just said. I also will plead to the Ministry of Defense once more. They're still delusional about the severity of the threat, but alas, it gotten easier this day" [Ram]

"Ohh, how is that so?" [Lily]

"Princess Diana really are one heck of a princess. Slowly but surely, her influence have begun to spread. There are even some of her personals on the Ministry of Defense right now, so it became a lot easier for me to deal with them. Plus, this time around, even the knight captain agree to dispatch his unit, without the permission of the minister" [Ram]

"The Rude Captain did what!?" [Kadeus]

"That's indeed surprising" [Ray]

"Sure am" [Ram]

Princess Diana is indeed becoming more popular and powerful. Even though her debutante party is nothing short but disastrous, but somehow, our support to her doesn't decrease one bit, in fact, becoming stronger. Seeing as how there is someone like her who will do her best to make a better change, one couldn't help but to wholeheartedly support her. That's also the reason why us adventures are supporting Ash, even as far as offering free services to protect the orphanage while he was away (which he rejected the free service of us, saying he will pay us appropriately)

"Well, if there aren't anything else, you may all dismiss" [Ram]
