"My name is Mark, and I'm a member of the Crimson Knight Order, a subordinate of Princess Alice!"
Princess Alice is someone I deeply admire, and I've always strived to become like her.
The Vice-Captain of the Crimson Knight Order, that Red-haired middle-aged uncle, is essentially my master.
He often taught me combat because he saw my good talent, and now my strength has surpassed his.
Recently, when I returned to the Crimson Knight Order, I felt the atmosphere had changed. Princess Alice originally intended to create a Knights Order without internal traitors, but now the people in the Crimson Knight Order have started colluding with each other, doing some shady things. Because of this, I'm gradually investigating!"
At night, Mark followed a suspicious person to a sewer.
The person was the captain of the Crimson Knight Order's third squad.
He was also the object of Mark's suspicion.
Mark suspected that the person was colluding with some shadowy organization.
There was indeed a dark organization in the Midgar Kingdom.
According to the information Mark obtained, this organization was called the Chasing Stars Society.
It controlled all illegal activities in the Capital.
In the Capital, it could be said to have absolute power.
Many people feared this organization.
According to unreliable information Mark received, the person behind the Chasing Stars Society seemed to be Princess Alexia.
Mark still needed evidence to confirm if this was true.
"I brought what you wanted. Here is the list of The Order members within the Crimson Knight Order."
"The Order?!" Mark seemed to have discovered an astonishing secret.
In his surprise, he accidentally failed to conceal his aura.
"Who's there!"
Mark emerged from the shadows.
"What does 'The Order members within the Crimson Knight Order' mean?"
"You don't need to know about this!" Elisa, the leader of the Chasing Stars Society, said, looking at Mark.
"Kill him!"
As Elisa spoke, more than a dozen black-clad figures appeared around them.
They had been hiding there from the start, and Mark hadn't noticed them.
Seeing that the opponents were numerous, Mark didn't intend to get entangled.
He turned and ran.
"I need to go to a crowded place; they wouldn't dare to act there."
Mark thought to himself.
Suddenly, a Magic Swordsman's sword behind him slashed towards him.
Mark drew his sword in time to block the attack, but he was pushed back by the opponent's powerful strike.
He retreated several steps, arriving on the main road at the same time.
Mark quickly stood up and saw a Midgar Magic Swordsman Academy student, ordinary-looking and eating a hamburger, not far from him.
Sid had only bought dinner and was on his way back to his dorm.
Sid looked at the group of black-clad figures, then at Mark.
"It seems I've gotten involved in some special incident!"
"Run, be careful they don't silence you!" Mark shouted.
Elisa and Sid exchanged glances, and in an instant, she recognized him; he seemed to have been Christina's follower before.
"Let's go!"
Elisa turned and left.
Leaving Mark utterly bewildered.
Why had they just ignored him?
He had discovered the traitors within the Crimson Knight Order.
Sid was just about to display his ultimate extra's plea for mercy, but the opponent seemed to give him no chance to do so.
For Elisa, even if Mark knew this information, it was useless.
The person who just transmitted the information was Elisa's informant planted within the Crimson Knight Order.
This informant was expendable.
The matter of The Order also had little to do with her.
Although it had no relation, she certainly needed to know the information. She couldn't be a fool who knew nothing.
Mainly, she was still afraid of accidentally injuring Sid if a fight broke out.
He was Christina's person; she couldn't accidentally injure her own people.
Seeing this, Mark also quickly left.
Just as he was about to go find his master, he suddenly felt a murderous aura.
Christina appeared there, slashing at Mark without hesitation.
Mark had no time to dodge and was sent flying, crashing into a wall.
"I'll give you a chance to live: obey me, or die!"
Christina looked coldly at Mark.
Elisa had told Christina the news that Mark had witnessed it.
So Christina came to find Mark.
Christina didn't intend to kill Mark; she wouldn't kill people casually, but she still had to use force to coerce him into keeping quiet.
Mark hadn't expected Christina to appear and attack him.
"I will never betray Princess Alice!"
Mark gripped his Magic Swordsman's sword, his eyes filled with an unyielding expression.
"He really looks like a protagonist!" Student Xi Nuo suddenly appeared and said.
"Student Xi Nuo!" Christina's voice carried a happy emotion.
"What happened?"
"This isn't something an ordinary Magic Swordsman can handle. Run quickly, I'll stop her. If possible, I hope you can report to Her Royal Highness Princess Alice that the master behind the Chasing Stars Society is Princess Alexia." Mark shouted at Student Xi Nuo.
Mark felt that he was probably doomed today, but even so, he didn't intend to yield.
"Christina, are you going to kill him?" Student Xi Nuo asked.
Christina shook her head.
Then she put away her Magic Swordsman's sword and obediently went to Student Xi Nuo's side, hugging him.
She secretly kissed Student Xi Nuo on the cheek.
Mark was a bit at a loss; Christina had just been full of murderous intent, and now she was like a woman in love.
Was such a contrast really necessary?
But he didn't dare to let his guard down; the opponent was someone who could defeat his master, and that sudden attack just now had explained everything. Mark was no match for Christina.
Mark now understood that the suddenly appearing male must be allied with Christina.
"What exactly happened?"
Student Xi Nuo stroked Christina's head, as if petting a dog.
Christina truthfully reported everything that had happened.
Mark was left ignored.
He wanted to run but didn't dare, fearing that Christina would suddenly attack him again; that last attack had already injured him.
"Is The Order infiltrating the Crimson Knight Order? It must be Loki's faction. Now that The Order has failed in the Oriana Kingdom, they probably intend to go into hiding. These guys in the Crimson Knight Order are useless now. Give me the list!"
Then Student Xi Nuo handed the list to Mark.
"You have a protagonist's face, I wonder if you have a protagonist's fate! I'll be waiting to see!"
