The Ultimate Support Character

Moonlight Queen Lunaria and Imperial Princess Leianne. Both of them gave out the information about the Emperor starting everything by giving that suggestion.

Lunaria's statement could be said to be almost true except a lot of things were omitted that it would be hard to pinpoint who's currently running the Order and Leianne's statement might be true but her ambition was included in it. She wanted someone to oust her father.

Ah. Well, I left Matthew with her. In the end, she neither confirmed nor denied my statement. She only fell silent until I left their room.

With the black-cloaked figures expelled, killed or captured, the next step was to present those snakes they brought in front of their superiors.

Lexie already informed me where they are and everyone, even that Imperial Princess will come. Amry and Kazeyoshi will also come to see. Out of 9 delegates, only Lunaria will be missing.

I intentionally made a detour to check on Delares and the triplets. When the black-cloaked figures appeared, the room where we showcased the triplets were also stormed by them. Fortunately for them, we moved them back to the hidden room and the black-cloaked figures who stormed it were trapped and captured.

Though everything happened suddenly, Nysia handled it well and that has just proven how strong the League is currently.

To send at least 50 of those black-cloaked figures, they lost a lot of Pilots. Did they expect them to leave safely? I don't know and I don't need to know at this point.

Upon arriving at the meeting area, 10 identically clothed-individuals were kneeling on the floor with a cloth covering their heads and restraint on their arms, they were also possibly gagged as they could only produce growling sounds. Behind them were 10 Elite Members all adorned by their Powergens. A simple command they could either kill or take those 10 out in case someone wanted to silence them.

They are those who placed Exit Modules all around the building. After apprehending them, we clothed them identically to confuse the snakes that would view them in this meeting room.

"I'm sorry for the wait as I have checked upon our captives. Fortunately none of the bugs these snakes sent in managed to get to them. However, one of you disappeared after being chased by those bugs. Does the Confederacy have an idea as to where the Moonlight Queen has disappeared to?"

I decided not to mince words and pointed immediately at the crux of the issue. The disappearance of Lunaria.

Amry and Kazeyoshi were at some corner with Amry looking at the Sovereign Princess as if she's trying to guess what she's thinking.

Matthew and the Imperial Princess Leianne were also at another corner wherein Leianne's eyes were trained onto me. I left them there for her to truly open up to Matthew.

Seeing he's still with her, she probably did.

Kreed, Elise, and Viper all had their eyes on me before turning it to Sen who had a difficult expression on his face.

"What do you mean she disappeared? Is this how lax the League is in their security? Not only you got infiltrated by those bugs, you even lost sight of one of your guests?"

Turning the blame to us was a great move, really. But of course, we already expected that.

I turned my head to Lexie, without exchanging any words she nodded and opened her mouth.

"These 10. You're probably wondering who they are. Do any of you recognize this?"

She pointed at the 10 kneeling individuals before producing an Exit Module in her hand.

"That's an Anzean tech, isn't it? What's the connection?"

The Sovereign Princess asked while the others only looked on. Sen also tried to look composed but his expression was betraying him.

"No offense but do you all really need to ask? The 10 of them placed it somewhere and let those bugs in."

Lexie waved her hand and a screen was pulled down and 10 different footages could be seen playing in it. Each of them showing one individual entering a room and leaving and after fast-forwarding to 5 minutes later, the black-cloaked figures appeared from the said rooms.

"I see. So the culprits for the disturbance are among us. Does this mean the League is suspecting us as part of the organization for bringing them in?"

The Imperial Advisor calmly asked, there's no disturbance that could be seen on his face. He's confident that nothing will be tied to him.

"No, of course. We already expected that they would be coming but it's just overwhelming that 10 of them and none of you noticed. Does this mean the security of the three factions has turned too lax to allow this kind of snake to persist in their ranks?"

With a smile, Lexie let her eyes roam among the delegates until it settled on Sen, who already had a blackface at this moment. Throwing his question back to him.

Before any of them could answer, I moved next to Lexie and zoomed onto one of the footage while bringing up another one.

At the first footage, it's showing one of the individuals that were wearing the blue military suit of the Moonlight Confederacy entering the room where five minutes later the black-cloaked figures exited. The face of that Confederacy soldier was caught and zoomed in.

And the next footage was showing the Moonlight Queen leaving a room. A few seconds later, Sen could be seen chasing after her and the same soldier that was shown in the first footage.

That was the time when Lunaria escaped Sen's side after the latter found out that the switch he had was fake. He moved decisively by ordering that soldier to summon those black-cloaked figures but he's too careless.

It could be that he panicked when Lunaria escaped which led to him being caught red-handed.

When everyone finished watching, Kreed, Elise and Viper moved away from him. They all did it decisively as if none of them really had no connection to the Order.

"W-what?! You're suspecting me just because of that unreliable footage?!"

His voice now contained his agitation and I could see that his hand was moving closer to one of his pockets. Probably trying to take out his Powergen.

"Calm down. We only want to ask you. Why did she leave your room? You're the last known person to have made contact with her apart from the black-cloaked figures who seem to be moving to search for her as you can see in this next footage."

As soon as my words ended, the screen changed again which showed the running Lunaria who suddenly disappeared and the five black-cloaked figures who stopped at where she disappeared.

Right. That was a footage of her using her ability, it was at least 5 minutes before meeting me.

"We will not judge but Sir Crescent Hurricane, as someone from the same faction, what do you have to say?"

Lexie turned to Kazeyoshi who was sticking at Amry's side. The two seemed to have gotten closer than when I left them. I guess Amry already opened up to him. The two had some kind of attraction to each other as could be seen since our time on Earth.

"Sir Vagabond, I don't want to point at you, however, if I have to ask. Are you part of the organization?"

"Shut up idiot! How could I be part of it? I'm the youngest to reach Legend-rank and Rank SSS, why do I need to join an organization which colluded with the Dark World?!"

Sen answered hysterically, he already lost his calm.

What genius? What youngest Legend-rank? Was he spoiled too much by his father? Looks like having large Intelligence doesn't always equate to being smart.

"What about the other factions?"

I turned to the other three to ask their opinions. Of course, they could only put down Sen at this point unless they want to go down with him.

"It is not my place but the footages you showed were already enough to prove that he has a connection to the organization."

Kreed answered, slightly pushing away any sort of responsibility for his comment

"I agree. The Moonlight Queen disappeared and until now hasn't been found. Have they killed her or took them somewhere? I don't know what's the motive but the evidence pointed to you, Sir Vagabond."

Elise agreed with him and expounded about Lunaria's disappearance.

"It's not my place to comment. Each faction to their own "

And lastly, Viper refused to comment.

"You… You're digging my grave! No! If I'm a member then everyone else here was also a member! The Sovereign Princess, you--"

Before he could finish his sentence, Viper moved and kicked him away. With the structure of the building, he only bounced off the wall.

"I dare you to slander the Sovereign Princess. Isn't this enough? He's been proven as an enemy."

Viper turned to me with viciousness in his eyes. Sen couldn't even react to his kick.

"Why don't we let him finish his sentence first?"

I smiled calmly even if I was directed by that vicious intent.

Sen will surely pull down any likely member with him in a desperate attempt. And through that, they themselves would kill each other.

"Do you think listening to his words will prove those he pointed out as members as well? That's pretty weak if you ask me."

Imperial Advisor Kreed interjected. He's still calm and confident as always.

"I never said that. I just wanted to hear what he has to say. A desperate pig will squeal out anything just to save his neck, right? Who knows, we might hear more information from him."

"Y-you…"

Viper gritted his teeth, he couldn't retort to it.

"You're good. Right. I'm already this deep down, I'll take you down with me. The Sovereign Princess, as his wife you won't be able to deny your involvement, you--"

This guy already lost it but the way he kept on insisting Elise's involvement, with his desperation, it could be taken as the truth. His father would be too disappointed to know that his son was this kind of idiot.

Despite his bloodied appearance, he laughed like a crazed idiot as he stood up and pulled out a sphere which immediately turned into his Powergen, however, before he could wear it, Viper attacked him once again and this time, it's more severe than the first one.

His strength could be said as on the upper ranks of Rank 5 Mortal and though Sen's also a Rank 5 Mortal, his Power Level was probably below 80. He's still young after all plus Viper was using his ability to immediately appear in front of him. Like my Flash Step. Is his ability concerned speed or space? I don't know.

While that was happening, I was observing the Sovereign Princess, the Imperial Advisor as well as the Imperial Princess. They're all looking at what's happening calmly.

"Viper! Damn you! You're also--"

I don't know if I will pity him but he really can't end his sentences.

"That's enough."

Before Viper could attack again, the Imperial Princess went in between them, a rapier in her hand to block Viper.

"Leianne, what are you doing?!"

At her incomprehensible action, the Imperial Advisor Kreed raised his voice for the first time.

This show is getting interesting. Did she finally resolve herself to openly cross her father and not sneakily ask others to do it for her?
