"What?" Anfey asked, caught off guard by Batusimon's request . He had spared him because he wanted to learn how to control his temper . He had expected Batusimon to be grateful, not to be making requests .

Ye drew his sword and walked toward Batusimon . He leveled the sword at the man's chest, then glanced at Anfey, waiting for his order . Batusimon did not look at Ye . He kept staring at Anfey and said, "If you can give that woman to me, my lord, this life is yours . "

Anfey walked over and stopped next to Ye . He looked at Batusimon and sighed . "Even if I don't give you anything, your life can still be mine . " He grabbed Ye's hand and thrust the sword forward . The sword plunged into Batusimon's chest .

Batusimon's eyes widened . He did not expect Anfey to value the life of a woman over his . Ye pulled his sword out . Blood sprayed onto the ground and Batusimon stumbled backwards . He gasped a few more times and slumped against the wall . Anfey turned to Edy and nodded at him . Edy came forth and whispered a spell under his breath . A cloud of dark fog enveloped Batusimon's body .

Christian frowned in disdain and moved away from the front . "Let's go," he said to Anfey .

Anfey nodded . "Let's go check on that team of guards . "

"You wanted to go see Julie?"

Anfey nodded . "I heard she's improving quickly . She defeated Midof, and the women are seeing her as their leader instead of Shinbela . "

"I thought you sent Midof there . "

"I did," Anfey said . "That's why I need to go check on Julie . I need Midof to have more room to do her thing . Edy, can you head over to the garrison building after this?"

"I'm not sure how long this will take, though," Edy said, without lifting his head .

"We'll wait for you, then . "

Anfey and Christian walked out of the room and toward the yard, to wait for Edy to finish his work . Even though Anfey wanted to create some fictional couple to take the blame, there was really no need to make it a secret, because no one would investigate it .

As the two of them left the building, Robert appeared . Ye glanced at the man . After he recognized Robert, he turned his gaze away .

"I have news, sir," Robert said quietly . He leaned over to Anfey and whispered something to him .

"When will they arrive?" Anfey asked, smiling .

"They must have already land by now," Robert said . "Three or four days, at most . "

"Landed?"

Robert nodded . "In order to escape, Andrea didn't follow the original plan . He headed toward the northeast and rented a boat to throw off anyone on his trail . "

"His name's Andrea?" Anfey asked . Robert nodded . Kidnapping Kamlin's daughters was a difficult task, and he knew how much effort Robert put into completing the mission . However, he only ever talked about two people . Young John and Andrea . Clearly, these were two of his best men .

Anfey was very impressed by the work of Andrea and Young John . People in Diamond City would searching the roads to the west of the city, but not the ocean to the east . Taking a boat was a good choice .

"He had requested this mission," Robert said with a wide grin . "I was worried, but now it seems that was unwarranted . "

"Well, young people would never grow up if they didn't go through hardship," Anfey said .

Robert nodded in agreement . "Send some men to aid him," Anfey added . "I don't want something going wrong now . "

"I already did . "

"Good," Anfey said .

Robert bowed and quietly disappeared .

"What are you planning to do?" Christian asked, curious .

Anfey sighed . "It seems like Wester and I are not that different, after all . "

"What do you mean?"

"He tried to use Shalley as a leverage against me," Anfey said . "Now I'm using Kamlin's daughters against him . "

"So you really did send people to Diamond City?"

"Didn't you hear what we just said?" Anfey asked with a smile .

"What are you planning to do with the girls?"

"I'm not sure," Anfey said . "If someone tries to use Shalley against me, I don't think I can make the choice . I want to see how Kamlin will react . "

"Does Master know?"

"I think so," Anfey said . "He didn't say anything . " He paused and glanced at Christian and Ye . "Don't tell anyone about this . This will stay between the three of us . Kamlin is a good friend with Lord Commander . I don't want to anger him in the process . "

"Of course," Christian said . "I understand . You want Kamlin to disappear quietly . "

Anfey nodded . "Master, Baery, Steger are all near the city . Anthony, Suzanna, and I are inside . I don't think Kamlin can take on so many of us alone . "

"I don't think you need to worry, though," Christian said . "I'm sure Lord Commander knows what is more important . "

"You can't be sure . "

"I'm pretty sure . "

"Have you met him? Do you know him well?"

"I've met him, sure," Christian said with a shrug . "But if he wants, he can find out what happened to Kamlin with no trouble . "

"He had been working with His Majesty for years . I'm sure he knows what he should do," Anfey said quietly . "But if he knows that I killed Kamlin, maybe he won't do anything, but he will not like me . If we make Kamlin disappear, and spread the rumor that Kamlin was working with Edward the Eighth, I don't think Lord Commander will want to investigate . "

Before Christian could reply, Edy and Honna appeared . Anfey turned and asked, "How was it?"

"I don't think he knew much," Edy said with a sigh . "But he did mention a swordswoman called Julie . I think she had some connection with Wester . "
