461 [Documents]

Miku quickly shuffled through the documents. 

Notes, instructions on a ritual that could potentially turn a human into a being of the night, a vampire. Something that was rumoured to bestow longevity and prowess. However, whatever the cons and negatives were, that was yet to be seen as the vampire-race were an elusive bunch. A race that was only mentioned in children's horror-tales as they simply didn't exist; that was, until Thrud the red dragon left her post.

[Asai De Trichia:]

Sketch of: Asai de Trichia at supposed 16 years of age.

A human with no known relatives or origin. Rapidly rose to power, climbing the ranks of nobility via underhanded means. A known womanizer who wouldn't hesitate to utilize his looks to seduce and utilize women of power and ranks to assist him in his rise. Has been seen visiting Dream's Parlour, an establishment frequented by the rich and powerful to hold their secretive discussions and schemes.

High chance of being a vampire, which would explain his rapid growth in prowess, skill and his strong mental capabilities to keep his emotions under control even amidst the most bloodiest of wars. Something that isn't simply possible for humans who hadn't even hit their second decade upon the land of the living. 

It is simply incomprehensible for a 16 year old human, fresh out of an orphanage with no backing, no training nor mentors to easily hunt down the largest of bandit camps alone. The corruption must stem all the way up to even the duke, as such feats are simply inhumanely possible.

Our most recent sighting of the infamous duke of war: Asai de Trichia; Hair style is known to change frequently as the man often times grows it out before cutting it again. Unsure whether it is due to laziness or deliberate. Please note, the duke also has been sighted as an elf, an ability granted to him by the elven monarch Rima Regenon.

[Robin Sol]

Target: Robin Sol, during her first debut to power and fame as a vassal of Trichia. Age estimated: 15-16?

Origins: Unknown, just like the prior target, this target seemingly appeared out of thin-air. Recruited by the duke and immediately showed great strength and potential. Her appearance has changed as originally being reported as a brunette with brown eyes. Hair has since then lost their pigmentation and changed to entirely white, whilst target's brown eyes have become golden.

Such sudden change in features is typical when a human begins their transmutation, which explains how she was able to climb as rapidly as the duke once did. However, target has remained entirely within the duke's shadow as she is entirely dependent on the man. This is natural, as the target: Asai de Trichia has to feed Robin Sol blood at least once a month, to ensure her prowess remains peaked, ensuring her loyalty.

Whilst she has managed to trick the common people into believing her to be a living walking Saintess. We can guarantee you, that the target is indeed a vampire fledgling. 

This sketch is from our most recent sighting of the target: Robin Sol. Don't be fooled by her youthful appearance. Vampires are bestowed with longevity, and the ability to retain their youthful image indefinitely.

-

Candidate: Sam Graham. If you too wish to rise as fast as the aforementioned, take our offer and join the night. Imagine the riches, fame and power you will receive upon joining our flock.

All we demand, is for you to relinquish yourself of your humanity and faithfully serve the night.

...

Mary frowned upon reading through the documents.

"So... This criminal organisation that calls themselves the night or vampires, their current conspiracy is to dub the duke and Robin as vampires of the night? Creatures that only exist within bed-time stories?"

The woman had a head ache assaulting her head, as she knew exactly just how gullible most people could be. Especially is subjected to such propaganda, that attacked only their fears and worries.

Thinking for a moment to herself, it definitely didn't help that Asai would often times travel around in incognito and in stealth. Which could also be labelled as traits belonging to the mythical creatures.

"What of the baron?" Rosemi asked, as she sat upon the edges of the desk. Her eyes lingering over towards a certain corner that strangely had a lot of men's clothing. "I-Is that Asai's underwear?..."

"Detained and sent to the church. Their inquisitors will interrogate the man and see if they can dig up any information on this gang. Most likely, they're remnants of Orca and just targeting us for uprooting their base."

"Awfully nice of the church to lend a hand, how did you do it?"

"Easy, I told them the baron was performing dark-rituals, human sacrifices and also kidnapping children to offer to unholy-beings. Naturally, such blasphemy fell under their jurisdiction, thus they were forced to get off their asses and work for the kingdom for once."

"I see. I see..." Rosemi's ocean blue gems hovered over the sketches they had taken in as evidence. For obvious reasons, Mary had chosen not to share such papers with the church. As she didn't desire the curiosity or visits of their inquisitors, especially when the duke himself was such a busy man. Thankfully, it didn't seem like the baron himself had the chance to view upon such accusations. "Say~ Mary. Can I have those?"

Before her hands could even reach the sketches, Mary snatched them up and locked them within her desk.

Not even bothering to reply vocally, she just smiled at the woman.

"Tch."

"You already get to go on travels and adventures with him, the least you could do is share this much with me right?"

"Whatever~"

Rosemi marched back out of the room, her knights had finished their preparations and it was now her turn to raid a location that was reportedly being used by this new underground-organization.
