As the students spoke, the hooded man remained silent and unresponsive. As the students finished their explanation, the agent began to speak.

"Hmph, I see. Well, it will please you to know that the assailant known as Word Play has been apprehended. However, I'm afraid he has cast a spell on Princess Lisia that threatens her livelihood. The King along with his investigation team are looking into the situation at the moment and the princess is in critical care. I'm afraid only authorized personnel are allow to see the princess at time."

Felicie's eyes widen at the words of the official. "Your reassuring words fell short! If anything we should be more worried! You're saying that even though that masked freak has been captured Lisia's life is still in danger? And who's part of this investigation team, those roughneck mooks who are part of the tournament? Surely you can do something to resolve the matter!"

The king's agent was knowledgeable of many things. One thing he knew was that it was rather pointless to reason with the daughter of the Schwarzrosen house. "However, the Royal family is quite close with both the Schwarzrosen and Ambrosius houses. I'm sure the king won't mind awfully if you wait within the castle walls. Besides, in addition to seeing to the King's desires, I must also explain the state of affairs to the Queen and the High Council. I have enough on my plate as it is, so if you two will come with me I will escort you to the inner chambers." With a hand the man beckons the noble heirs to follow him into the castle.

The vampire turns to Ivadi at the agent's words. "Well Ivadi, let's be off."

Hearing the words of the Cloaked Wanderer and the two Mamono Faction representatives, the King finally makes a decision.

"You two representatives, I would ask if you know of a way to detain this assailant. Bind him so that he can't use his magic or escape. I will go to the infirmary and tend to my daughter. My guards will escort the three of you to a detainment cell where we'll discuss his fate later."

The King nods in response to Alexander's introduction. Though he thought it was rather strange for an Order official to be assigned to the squad without him knowing.

"As for the investigation team - well met, all of you. You captured the man before the sun rose again, and thus order can now be restored to my kingdom. And don't worry about district damages, they are quite minimal."

Reinhardt then turns to the Cloaked Wanderer. "Very well, Wanderer, we'll do things your way.Tibrus, I believe this man has earned our trust."

Ivadi smiles hearing her response "Very well milady" he said he was worried how Felicie would react since the guard tools us if Lisias contidition. However he relaxed when they were allowed access

[KillMoves]

In the throne room, Rielle remained silent as the Cloaked Wanderer and some two strangers suggested ways for dealing with Word Play and his hold on the princess. The king's verdict was to take Word Play to a detainment cell and apply the method the Wanderer had suggested. It was obvious to Rielle that the two people talking about Word Play was not from the kingdom. The female one seemed to have a score to settle with Word Play while overall they seemed to be there for the anti-Order extremist.

Rielle felt they couldn't be trusted but she was too tired and uncaring to inquire and just wanted to tuck in for the night. After the king's verdict, Rielle stepped forward. "Your Majesty. Please forgive me but this frail body of mine has taken its toll for the day and must now rest. If you'll excuse me." A portal opened beneath the White Witch which she slowly sank into. "Farewell gentlemen. I'll see you all tomorrow."

The portal took her outside the castle since she wanted to make a quick round in checking the markets for the preservatives and tools needed in her necromancy. Fortunately for Annabelle who had just arrived. "Rielle? Thank goodness I found you!"
"Belle? What's wrong?" Rielle replied.
"Sir Booker's back and he told me to strike when we see the emerald flags." The cannibal answered. "I think we're going to attack soon."

Much of what Annabelle said shocked Rielle. Not only was the Order leader back but the entire sect was about to wage war against the kingdom. The White Witch wondered whether this was a wise decision or not but then she realized she did not need to care. "I see. Is it going to happen before the tourneys?"
"I don't know." Annabelle shrugged.
"Well... I guess we'll just have to go with the flow." Rielle said. "Wanna join me in looking for stuff at the shadier parts of the market. It's their time after all."
"Yay shopping~!"

Rielle felt a bit energized for the activity since she wasn't around annoying, good-hearted people anymore.

MEANWHILE

Assassin, inside Peter's room, tirelessly assembled and mashed materials and ingredients together for tomorrow. Whatever happens, he needed to be ready. Ready to face the king, the kingdom's best as well as the rest of the kingdom. He was not going to let the boy to rot in prison, or something worse, for something he did not commit. He already had bombs for the likely to happen scenarios and he could only hope nothing unexpected happens.

Though he also hoped that the worst does not happen. That the kingdom would see through the lie or at least forgive him. Assassin saw that Zauberheim was fairly innocent but he cannot take the chance. The universe was merciless and sometimes light cannot overcome the darkness. As he put down his last bomb for the day, he began making plans about escaping from Zauberheim. He wondered if his team would allow Peter to join as he becomes what his friend hoped.

But he held his thoughts and breathe for tomorrow. For that is what will truly decide his and Peter's fates.

(And with that, I will withhold from posting till the RP reaches tomorrow.)

Throne Room

Jonathan lowered his head in respect of the king. "I can accept that term, Your Highness.", he said before making his way to the unconscious form of Word Play. He pulled out a ceremonial knife from his inside coat pocket. Leaning down to be closer to the vigilante, he grabbed hold of one of his hands and pulled up the sleeves to expose some flesh. The skin of the vigilante appeared to be damaged by extreme heat from several decades ago. Using the ceremonial knife, Jonathan cut one of his hands to draw blood. He then began murmuring a incantation that caused his blood to flow upward into the air and began making its way to Word Play's exposed flesh. The scene that transpire resembles a tattoo artist performing his main duty. Jonathan used his own blood to create a magic circle on Word Play's arm. The magic circle glowed briefly before settling down.

Standing up, he healed his injured hand and cleaned his ceremonial blade by licking his own blood off of it. With it being cleaned, he put the blade back inside his coat pocket. He then turn to the king, "I have bind Word Play, Your Highness. I have sealed his powers and caused his body to be paralyzed from the neck down. He will not be leaving unless I allow him to.", he stated.

However, Jonathan has confirmed that Word Play had fulfilled his part of the plan. The unconscious form of Word Play was actually a perfect clone of the original. The original had left the warehouse after he had bind the princess and created the perfect clone. The clone was perfect in everyway. The clone is capable of bleeding, eating, and behaving like the original. The only way to know is subtle state of the original and the clone. Both of them are independent and the original will be more clean than the clone due to the fact that the original is free. The clone is just a decoy to get rid of the heat on the original.

The clone was the one fortifying the warehouse while the original escaped to continue the plan that Jonathan had created. Though at the moment, the original must recover due to the fact that he had expended so much energy on the binding spell and the clone since both required so much energy. Not only that, the clone is binded to the princess as well. Meaning that the princess was to be a short-term deterrent.

With that out of the way, Jonathan waited with his sister to be escorted to discuss about the fate of the clone. Even if the clone is executed, it'll behave like an actual person. It'll bleed, "die", and decay until Word Play decides to cancel the spell that's keeping the clone together. Word Play was lucky that the clone managed to fool the Cloaked Wanderer.

Henry simply watched as Jonathan bound word play, paralyzing the man from his neck down, he did however feel as if...it was too easy to capture word play, but he didn't think too much about it, he bowed his head as the king spoke to the investigation team, staying silent the whole time, he was going to leave as he heard Tibrus speaking to the wanderer "Worst case scenario I can help with my stone, it is what disabled word play's traps...and took down the district's magic as well..." he said scratching the back of his head, "But I guess our only choice now is to wait" he said.

Alexander bowed and approached the king, "I apologize for not sending you a warning sooner my king, but time was of the essence while this vigilante was out, he is responsible for countless order casualties, we've been after him for a long time so my superiors didn't want to lose time." he said in a very polite,serious and regal tone, much like any Order representative, "My orders after capturing word play were to assist in any other matters that need tending to, so i'l be nearby in case im needed" he said as he left the throne room.

---Castle halls---

Alexander walked down the halls of the castle, his ash magic now spiraling around a bit from how excited he was, "now...all we have to do is wait..." he said to himself, with the king's trust won, he could send information to his order's superiors, specially Eli booker and give a better strategy for when they strike, the plan was set, now all they needed as for the tournament to begin.

[Phantom77]

Castle Halls
--------------

The agent escorted the two nobles down the halls of the palace, his hood now uncovered. The agent's shoulder-length snow-white hair drifted side to side as he walked down the halls, his dark green eyes stern and focused.

The magnificent architecture, courtesy of the Heatherman line, could be seen throughout the castle corridors. Of course, it wasn't anything new to Felicie. She was, after all, quite used to the scenery. When she was younger she, along with Anri, played with the Princess within the castle often.

While the three were walking, they happened upon Alexander, who seemed to be heading down the hall from the throne room. The agent stops briefly to speak to the Order official.

"Well met, Sir Alexander. I am aware that the mission was a success and Word Play has been subdued. You, along with the other members of the team, have served the King well."

Felicie grew impatient as she yearn to see her friend, who was at Word Play's mercy too many times today. "Excuse me sir, but if you have the time to socialize with your stuffy co-workers, you should have the time to escort us to our destination!" The agent now had a rather irritated face, as he had already grown quite tired of the vampire's attitude.

"As you can see Sir Alexander, I'm currently escorting these two Seraph students. They sweetly insisted that they see their friend, so as to put their worries to rest. I'm sure you know these two children. Felicie - the noble daughter of the Schwarzrosen family and Ivadi, son of the Archmage Merlin."

Felicie glances at Alexander, whom she recognizes as an Orderite by his uniform. "I'm sure he does. He'd have to live under a rock not to know who I am, plus he is a servant of the kingdom, same as every other official. Now if you're done, I suggest we continue walking!"

The agent, still wearing an exasperated expression, lets out a sigh. "I apologize for the heiress's petulant nature. She's just worried for the Princess, same as everyone else."


----------------
Throne Room
----------------

Two guards appear in front of the siblings and the now unconscious Word Play. "Come with us. We will escort you two to the dungeon along with the fugitive."

As the group leaves, the King turns to the outside warriors. Save Ms. Rielle who left rather abruptly, much to Reinhardt's annoyance. It was now just the three warriors, himself, and Tibrus.

"So Wanderer, you say that we should test to see if the spell is broken by waking the bastard? If so, then we'll go with that. Henry, I'd like you to come with me to see my daughter. In the event the charm isn't enough, I'd like the use of your stone. Wanderer, I'd like you to go down to the dungeon with Jonathan and Dalia to monitor Word Play. And Ruecian, remain on standby for further instruction. If I've need of you, you'll here from someone."

"Very well, Your Majesty." The mercenary responded with a simple nod and a few words.

[Scrapmaster]

---Castle halls---

On his way out Alexander was approached by a fellow orderite who congratulated him on completing his assignment "Thank you I-" before he could say anything else Felicie bluntly and rudely told the man to stop wasting time, clearly impatient, this got a chuckle out of Alexander as he looked at her, upon hearing the agent's explanation on what he was doing and introducing him to them, "Yes I-" before he could say anything again he got interrupted by Felicie's arrogant statement, he had to hold back from laughing out loud as her statement about the order beign servants of the kingdom, he just looked at her unphased. he sighed together with the agent and afetr hearing his apology he chuckled, "Agent with me you don't need to act so formal, please carry on, bring them to their friend" he said nodding to the agent and giving a small nod to Ivadi as he soon saw the man leading them further into the castle, he simply kept on walking "Funny...i used to be from a well known and respected name like her..." he said in a low tone "At least until i ran away...", his expression clearly serious and distraught before getting angry and clenching his fists, ash starting to flow around them in a violent manner, he quickly stopped and resumed his walk out of the castle.

---Throne room---

Henry nodded at the king's request to having him accompany him to see Lisianthus in her room "of course!" he said in agreement, 'shame Rielle left so quick, she could have been of help' he thought to himself as he nodded to the wanderer and to Ruecian, each with their order on what to do, even though he could feel the king's malicious aura, he ignored it as much as he could.

[Creator_Drake]

---Throne Room---

"Of course, your highness. Once you have used the charm Wordplay shall be awoken." With a nod of his cloaked hood the Wanderer knelt down and picked up the masked vigilante bridal style before following the group to the dungeon. Rubbing his tired eyes Tibrus let out a short breath through his nose before turning to the king.

"My King, if you have no further need of me this night I will retire for the night and return at dawn's light."

---Castle Hall's---

Following the guards the Wanderer easily kept pace with the sibling pair. His head turned slightly to Jonathan.

"I must admit, your skill in the blood arts is impressive. There haven't been many to have shown such expertise within the last few decades."

[EndZoner]

---
Castle Halls
---

Following the guards, Jonathan turned his head to acknowledge the Wanderer. "Yes, I believe that others have made similar comments.", he replied with little emotion. "The Art has always been considered primitive, but I believed that some refused to learn it due to them unwilling to pay the price for it. Some just don't have the conviction to put their lives on the line in learning an Art that can help many.", he continued. "Blood Magic is an Art that use blood as a medium to cast spells. Spells that are cast at the expense of the casters. Then again, the history of the Art has never been... benign, but like any other magic, it's depends on the users.", he finished.

"Can't you guys talk about something interesting?", asked Dalia with a bored tone. "I mean, seriously, we're with The Wanderer. A living myth! Would it kill you to ask about him, bro?", she asked his brother.

"Perhaps.", he responded which caused his younger sister to groan. "If you're curious, why don't you ask him? Then again, I highly doubt that you want to be here.", he commented. "Let me guess, you wanted to be with the princess just so you can recreate a scene from those fairy tale books.", he suggested.

"Those are love novels and you're darn right!", his sister exasperated before she calmed down. "Whatever, so Wanderer, got a name that I can call you by? It's kind of weird if everyone just call you "The Wanderer" don't you think?", Dalia asked the Wanderer.

[Creator_Drake]

---Castle Hall's---

"Perhaps, but as you are well aware, having anonymity can be most helpful against certain elements within the world." At this he made a slight gesture moving the unconscious wordplay a little.

"As for a name, there is one I suppose. There are those who call me... Tim? Now a question for you both, when was the last time you've confronted this Wordplay?"


(I make no apologies, I saw the opportunity for a Monty Python ref and I took it. Though of course, this isn't his real name. )

Ivadi himself gave a bow when seeing Alexander however Felicies attitude and impatience made them leave. However ivadi couldn't help but look back at Alexander. Once he couldn't see him anymore Ivadi sighs "Milady although you have the partial gift of SOMETIMES speaking your mind, I think it'd be best if you practiced some restraint. Even if he's part of the order, it wouldn't look good to lose your cool like that. Please don't take this in any negative meaning, this is just a suggestion from a well intentioned servant." he said

[Phantom77]

-----------
Castle Halls

Felicie turns at Ivadi's statement. She looks at him for a moment, not saying a word. She then decides to speak after turning back her head with an assertive "Hmmph!"

"I've no need of restraint when dealing with servants of the kingdom. They need to be reminded of who the ruling class is, and I didn't come here to have my time wasted!"

The agent, while not showing any emotion on his face, was a little annoyed at the vampire's petulant attitude and behavior. He spoke to himself in his mind for a moment. "The only reason you've been allowed in here in the first place is because of my humble whim...

The trio was stopped, however, when they heard a adamant voice echo throughout the halls. "My, my, Felicie. I still see your attitude is as charming as ever. And your voice still carries quite well." The trio saw that the voice came from no other than the ruler himself, King Reinhardt. He had also appeared to be walking with Henry Hansees, the dark swordsman.

Felicie looked in surprise when she saw the King while also being slightly embarrassed at the King's sarcastic comments. "Yo-Your Majesty, I didn't think we'd see you here. Um..Ivadi and I just wanted to check up on Lisia and see how she's faring. The incident shook us all an up and...we'd be eternally grateful if you'd let us see her, Your Highness..."

The agent spoke next. "My apologies, master. I found these two scurrying across rooftops overlooking the castle. I fig-" The agent was cutoff by the King's hand.

"It is alright Arteus, I understand." Reinhardt then looks at the two students. He smiles warmly at the two heirs, knowing both their families well. "No need to be so formal, Felicie. After all, we're practically family. I took it upon myself to do everything I could to support the Schwarzrosen family during the Crusades. And as for you Ivadi, without your father's help I fear that victory would only be a fleeting dream. The valor Archmage Merlin displayed was truly a sight to behold."

He then bring the students side-by-side, having a hand on their shoulders. "And if anything I should be grateful to you. You did your utmost to defend my daughter in her time of need and fought bravely. I'm sure that your parents would be proud of your valor. Now as for my daughter's condition, Sir Henry and I were just about to visit her in the infirmary. You're welcome to come along if you''d like. You don't mind the extra company, do you Sir Henry?"

With that, the King begins walking to the infirmary, which was just down the halls a little ways. However, he turns head to the students behind him for a moment. "Oh and, by the way, both your parents know your here. Hana, you little servant, contacted Lady Schwarzrosen and through her Merlin."

Felicie adopts a chilly sense of dread at the king's words. "Ivadi...let us hope our parents, specifically mine, aren't too displeased with our actions..."


-------------------
Castle Courtyard
-------------------

Ruecian was leaning against a pillar in the courtyard, flipping the sun coin he was given before even arriving in the kingdom. He admittedly was quite bored, with the apprehension of Word Play being rather uneventful. Though, that's what made it so suspicious to him. Given the amount of turmoil the assailant had caused in the kingdom in just one evening, one would think that capturing him would be more...challenging.

While thinking to himself, Ruecian notices Alexander walking out of the castle. He had dust particles following him and had quite the look of anger on his face. Despite this, the mercenary felt that something needed to be addressed.

"Sir Alexander, you look displeased about something. Did something happen within the Order, or perhaps you're thinking what I've been thinking. That someone about Word Play capture seems to be a bit...off."

[Scrapmaster]

---Castle halls---

As Henry was walking along with the king they came to face Ivadi and Felicie, two students Henry has met in the citadel before and he still remembered felicie flirting on him, he smiled as he saw them and seeing the king speaking to them and then asking his his opinion about them coming along to the infirmary "Of course not, they should be able to see their friend after all" he said smilling as he looked at Ivadi and Felicie, as they walked along he couldn't help but hear the king speaking about the student's parents and upon hearing Felicie's dread filled words, "You are checking in on a long time friend, there is nothing to be displeased about" he said to her with a comforting tone, tyring to at least cheer her up as they were nearing the infirmary.

-------------------------------

---Castle courtyard---

Alexander came up on Ruecian, which surprised him as he could have sword he was the first to leave, oh well he didn't ponder too much about as he faced the man and was quickly asked a question, "No problems there, I simply passed by an annoyiance in the halls, I have a bad history with vampires and I can't stand them too much." he said with a sigh as he calmed down, "Now that you mention it, word play was quite easy to capture, a bit too easy actually...im starting to think he planned this whole thing...pherhaps the twins might know something we don't" he said as he brough his hand to his chin "From what i've seen and from the profiles I have on them from the order, they could have caught word play a long time ago...I find their failures...hard to believe." he said with clear suspicion in his tone.

[EndZoner]

"Pfft, Tim.", Dalia teased the Wanderer.

Ignoring his sister's antics, Jonathan pondered on the answer that he should give to the Wanderer. "Hmm, if I remember correctly, I believed that a 2-3 weeks has passed since our last encountered. He had been cautious since then until we managed to follow a few leads that led us to the kingdom.", he answered.

"So 'Tim', where are you even from? Also, why exactly do you wear the cloak?", Dalia asked the cloaked individual.

[Creator_Drake]

---Castle Hall's---

The Wanderer seemed to ponder a moment before giving a nod to Jonathan.

"That speaks highly of your tracking skills and how well you seem to know this man and his methods. Most trackers would need an even 4 weeks in most cases. You must know what to look for." He paused as the guardsmen led the group around a corner before descending a set of stairs.

"As per your questions my dear, the cloak is for protection. It helps a great deal against a deluge of rain such as we had earlier this morning. As for where I came from? I entered the kingdom from the South."

[Phantom77]

-------------------
Castle Courtyard
-------------------

"Indeed, Sir Alexander. Word Play's capture, the convenience of the representatives' arrival here in kingdom, the Princess being targeted - it all seems to strange, one would think." Having stood up straight from the pillar, the mercenary walks closer to Alexander.

"It seems to be no coincidence that pair of Mamono Party representatives showed up right when Word Play began making his move. And now they claim that he's a criminal that they've been tracking for quite sometime. You'd think that a man so dangerous would not go down without so much as a, 'I don't think so'. And I'm not just saying this due to my pride as a swordsman."

"Although of course, none of this matters right now, as we can't really prove anything. Those two have also been loyal to the King thus far. It'd wouldn't look good if we accused them of anything." Ruecian then lets out a small huff. "At any rate, sorry to take up your time. I've been put on standby and thought I'd chewed the fat to pass the time." The swordsman then begins walking back into the castle, but not before turning back to the Orderite.

"By the way, Sir Alexander, do be careful on your way back. No telling what could be going on in the kingdom right now. I've heard rumors of civil unrest in this kingdom from my travels, and with all that's happened I doubt nothing at this point. I know you probably don't care for advice from a man who's lived in Zipangu for most of his life, but still I thought I should give the word."

With that, Rue returns to within the palace walls.


------------
Infirmary
------------

The group finally arrives at the infirmary, where they are greeted by one of the nurses. "Your Majesty, Sir Arteus, you will be pleased to know that Princess Lisia's condition is well. She is peacefully sleeping. I trust you have the charm?"

Reinhardt holds out the emblem in his hand to show the nurse. "Yes, I have it right here,."

"Thank goodness!" The nurse was now looking quite relieved that the situation has turned for the better. The King then walks over to his daughter's bedside and places a hand over Lisia's head. "Worry not, my dear daughter, it will all be over soon..." He then looks at Henry. "Sir Hansees, we will begin the dispel as soon as we receive word of the Wanderer's arrival at the containment cell. I'm counting on your support if the emblem isn't enough."

Felicie looks over at the parent and child pair at the bedside. "Your Majesty, will she...will Lisia be alright?"

"I certainly hope so." The king responded to the vampire's question without even looking up.

Felicie, with a worried and perplexed face, turned to Henry. "Sir Henry, I don't know what's going on, but...Please, help Lisia in any way you can. I beseech you..."

[hothead1021]

Ivadi was relieved to see that Lisia was doing well. In fact she was doing better than he hoped. He then saw the king as he kneeled to his daughter. Ivadi smiled warmly as he bowed. The battle was certainly tough, tougher than anything he had prep aired for but now the next time he saw wordplay, he'll be ready as he clenched his fist

"Huh, who knew that the Wanderer is a smartass?", Dalia commented which resulted with Jonathan flicking her forehead. "Ow!", she yelped.

"Behave Dalia, if he does not wish to disclose any specific information about himself, then it is of none of our concern.", the older sibling stated.

In response, Dalia stuck her tongue out at her brother. "Bleh, you were always a stick in a mud. You really need to get laid.", she commented nonchalantly.

Jonathan sighed, "Why is it that I received an impulsive sister?", he asked himself.

"Why is it that I have a buzzkill brother?", she asked sarcastically. Though, she hugged her brother from behind. "Love you, bro.", she said with a light giggle.

Jonathan sighed once again, though with a smile, "Love you too.", he replied.

"Haha, alright, the brother and sister antic quota has been met.", Dalia stated before returning to the Wanderer, "So Tim, got any stories? I wanna know what kind of adventures you've been on in your life.", she asked.

[Creator_Drake]

"I might have a tale or two to tell... but that will have to wait. We've arrived." Coming around the corner the group was led to a lonesome cell where a hooded mage stood at the ready. The guard opened the cell door allowing the group inside. The cell was large enough for everyone to have breathing room, and the guard closed the door behind them. Upon the floor laid a large magic circle, with a pair of chain shackles on either end.

"Mi-lord, please place the prisoner in the centre of the circle on his knees." The mage was respectful but went straight to business. Saying nothing the Wanderer went to the circle and placed Wordplay as asked, resting upon his knees with his masked face facing the ground. The Wanderer stepped back as the mage proceeded to place a shackle on Wordplay's wrists. Making a hand sign and muttering a few words the mage placed a spell on each shackle, causing sigils to appear on the metal and the magic circle to light up with a soft orange glow.

"The spell will keep this man from using his spells; so long as these shackles remain his hands shall be limp and unresponsive." The mage sounded proud of his work but was trying to hide it, which the Wanderer ignored. Stepping forward to the edge of the circle the figure looked at the prone form of Wordplay before turning to the mage.

"I shall another restraint to keep this Wordplay from moving. When you go, take the guard with you to the King and tell him wordplay will be awoken in a few moments." The mage seemed to stiffen and almost looked affronted.

"Mi-lord, I can assure you th-"

"You have not faced Wordplay before, I have. Even if you render his hands useless his ability to write will not share the same fate. Also, the spells won't interfere with one another, I can assure you of that." If you could see the man's face the mage would look like he had swallowed something putrid. The Wanderer then tossed something to the guard, what looked to be a small stone.

"Keep that with you. It will glow once I have awoken Wordplay." The guard looked at the stone a moment before giving the figure a quick salute. He then opened the cell door, waiting for the mage who gave off a grunt before leaving at the turn of his heel. Once through the guard closed the door behind him and the pair soon disappeared with the mage's teleport.

The Wanderer remained silent before heaving a soft sigh.

"That arrogance will be his downfall. Now all we can do is wait, which won't be long." Turning back to the prone Wordplay the figure raised a hand.

"Sajō Sabaku." With a motion that looked like he closed his cloaked hand into a fist, yellow energy sprouted from various points around the outer edge of the magic circle. The energy took the form of glowing chains which immediately wrapped themselves around Wordplay's arms and torso, sitting the man upright and keeping his arms immobile.

"That will hold long enough."

[Scrapmaster]

----Infirmary---

"I'l do what I can" Henry said putting his hand on Felicie's shoulder in order to comfort her, but quickly taking it off as he didn't want to anger ivadi, as he then looked at the king and gave a nod as he took his pendant on his hand, which was already fully charged and ready to dispel, if something went wrong, he'd have to do what he could in order to at least keep the princess alive if there is any complications.

However he couldn't help but feel a bad omen around, not by the king's somehow menacing aura, but by the sheer fact that word play's capture was a bit too easy, he only needed to dispel his traps and just like that it was done, he kinda regretted taking out the districs magic now, even though its already back to normal and no one got hurt, he then remembered something, if he was gonna do a direct dispelling magic, he would need to use his catalyst, which meant his machete on his back, right on his right shoulder.

He took it out as he held the pendant on one hand and the machete on the other, the machete with clear green runes could be seen as the pendant also emmited a green glow, he held them close together as the closer they got the brighter the runes and the glow from the pendant, his machete was used to amplify his ranged magic arsenal as well as using the pendants power on it, he couldn't use it on his sword after all.


///////////////

"You're right." Alexander said with a sigh, "Its too convenient not to be suspicious, it was too easy I agree, either way all we can do now is wait , i'l look into these 'twins' if I get the time, If you ask me i'd say they are affiliated with word play, since they came in here at the same time, speaking that they knew him and when we captured him, something they had been 'trying' to do for a long time, and now they want to 'deal' with him, its too suspicious to me." he said to Rue.

He then heard Rue's warnings about civil unrest around the kingdom, Alexander simply smiled back at Ruecian "Thanks for the advice, even if you are from zipangu, its not like your advice isn't welcome, as for what may be going on...I don't know, but I will be careful" he said as he walked off to the order safehouse at Zauberheim, where he'd report to his higher ups.
