The Girl All the Bad Guys Want

Episode 1: Albel's replacement

It was a festival in Airyglyph; it was a whole year after the whole 'Creator' thing. Everything seems to have calmed down a bit, travel to Airyglyph and Aquaria is much easier now. Several wars have broken out over in Greeton, but Aquaria and Airyglyph has always been able to go to Greeton and help stop problems.

We were all sitting in the grand dining hall where everyone was sitting down around the long rectangular marble table. King Airyglyph sat at one end of the table, and Queen Aquaria at the other. In between the two rulers sat: Fayt, Maria, Cliff, Mirage, Rodger, Adray, Nel, Sophia, Clair, and Woltar. Of course I was sitting there too you fucking idiot.

King Airyglyph had talked to me the night before about me needing some time off, and I didn't see it coming…

"Good friends and heroes of our world, tonight is a special night. It is not only a celebration of Airyglyph and Aquaria's unite to keep the world in peace, but also for the replacement of Lord Albel." King Airyglyph said as he stood up from his seat.

Slight murmurs were heard around the table, and a stunned look was on leader of the Black Brigade, Albel Nox's face.

"I would like to introduce Albel's temporary replacement, Angel Valentyne." King Airyglyph said as he turned behind him and extended his arm to point out a young woman with black hair transcending into a deep crimson color, wearing a disturbingly colored breast plate with a her skirt cut just a little bit below the knees.

"Hello." Angel took a bow before standing beside King Airyglyph; she took a quick glance at everyone that had sat at the table. "It is a pleasure for a humble knight like me to receive this honor of meeting those that have saved this world and for me to receive such a high rank in the Black Brigade." She closed her eyes and had a slight smirk creep across her face.

"This is outrageous! How can you allow something, such as a woman to take my place as leader of the Black Brigade." Albel said getting up out of his seat, speaking out of turn with his dark red eyes letting out a slight celadon tint.

"Albel Nox!" Woltar said as he turned his head to look at the young swordsman in his anger of getting replaced.

"Lord Albel, I know that you must be furious at you being replaced, but you know that you can not lead the Black Brigade if you are with your latest injury." Angel said still not making any eye contact with the people sitting at the table in front of her.

Darn that woman…How did she know about my wound…I was the only one that knew about my wound. What am I talking about; I can handle myself even if I am wounded. No normal woman would ever be able to take my place in my kingdom.

"What are you talking about I have no wound! You must be senile for your age woman." Albel said as he stared furiously at Angel.

"Albel Nox, restrain yourself!" Queen Aquaria said in a calm and soothing voice.

"Albel, calm yourself down and act like a commanding officer instead of acting like a regular knight!" King Airyglyph spoke as he fumed out of anger.

"You have three broken ribs, two on the right side and one on the left caused by your training session a few days ago. There is a gash in your left leg caused due to your recklessness within training about a day ago. As well as the burn that is on your back, caused by Maria's gun's phase ray that had just barely missed your skin in training today." Angel said as she looked up at Albel with her smirk. "It seems to me, that you should be the one to understand that you need this time to rest and heal while I take care of the Black Brigade."

"Fine, I will only allow you to serve as my temporary replacement while I am resting." Albel said as he sat back down and closed his eyes, still burning with hatred on the inside.

"Thank you my lord." Angel bowed towards Albel.

"Just shut up, maggot." Albel said in his normally cold tone.

"Please take the last seat, Miss Angel." King Airyglyph said as he took his seat once more.

"Yes, your majesty." Angel quickly walked to the last empty seat at the table which happened to be right across the table from Albel.

Well…This is quite a predicament, my replacement just so happens to get seated across from where I am sitting. God I can't believe a woman is taking my job away from me.

As time passed and the dinner within the castle had ended the festival was still not over and the night sky was being lit by inventions that Welch called 'firecrackers'.
