A night to forget:
Malty's Pov:

'What does this Bitch think she's doing trying to foil my plans!?' She screamed in her head as her failing attempts to get out of the sword hero's grasp while images of horrific detail show demons and disturbing images of towers of black metal and celestine's broken body after the daedric prince was done. "Do you see now or shall I show you what I went through after this?" As more images played as it showed celestine shunned and scared of anything that might move, opting to hide in places that were cruel and cold.

"I don't get it, why show us these, why show us your pain?" Itsuki clearly the only one who could speak "to show what exactly happens, how shattered the mind becomes" celestine's clear response was before malty was dropped clear on her ass as she crawled away from the sword hero in fear. The king was still clearly shocked and angered that not only did the sheild devil harm his daughter but the sword hero showed fake images to back him up "I want both the Shield Devil and the Sword bitch out of my sight before I order their executions" and the knights tried to do what they were ordered, dragging away Naofumi but before they could grab celestine she disappeared in a puff of black smoke and a horrific cold laughter echoed throughout the hall "you will now have to sleep with one eye open malty and king melromarc for they may find you cold and bloodless on the floor" before the room went silent again.

Malty stammered to her father "S-shes gone right?" The king was about to reply before a simple piece of paper with a black hand on it and a note simply saying "Dark brotherhood has risen"

Naofumi's POV

It's been a week after the false rape accusation and Naofumi has been training Raphtalia in the sword but he got a letter and it had the black hand on it but the message was different "Let's talk. Celestine" under it was an old ruin location, so Naofumi and Raphtalia set out to meet celestine as she was the only one to defend Naofumi that night. When they arrived the old ruin looked the same except for one part the woman looked to be wine in a glass sitting next to a table with a few chairs. "Celestine?" Naofumi cautiously asked as the woman's head whipped in his direction and the familiar glowing red eyes looked at him with mirth and humour "ah if it isn't the "Shield hero… wait let me correct myself shield devil" the sarcasm dripping from her smooth voice

"Haha, so says the sword bitch" says Naofumi as he approaches the table with Raphtalia tailing him, eyeing the woman as if she's competition "Oh? Is that right? And who is this? Someone you can trust, I hope?" Celestine spoke glancing towards the demi for a brief second before waiting for Naofumi's response "yeah, this is Raphtalia, my… companion in this cruel world, now." Naofumi looked right into celestine's eyes "I hear some interesting rumours about nobles showing up dead bloodless and cold, you wouldn't happen to know anything about this, would you?"

Celestine's Pov:

She gave Naofumi a fanged smirk as she unzipped her modified Dark brotherhood armour to show the black hand tattoo just situated on her sternum as clearly some other tattoos that looks like Emblems say just under her collarbone (the Symbols for each hold capital) "I run an assassination guild Naofumi… the Dark brotherhood, we deal with assassination contracts and as such if someone contacts us with a contract In mind I have it done… However, it's just been me and the contracts are slowly increasing… hell there some for the other heroes but I cannot do them due to the stupid all heroes or we all die thing, so if you find any potential recruits for me Naofumi contact me by pressing your hand on this" she hands him a book called "sweet mother" "and I will come, call this… cashing in my favour for trying to save your hide with the king" she smirk as she finishes her metallic smelling drink and stands up and walks in a seemingly random direction "Wait. What are you and why do you do this?" Celestine simply gave him a fanged smile but it seemed kind. "I hate snobby nobles, I also hate liars and people who treat others like shit for fun, as for what I am… well I'm your best ally outside your little companion here… treat her well Naofumi…" as she simply vanished into the shadows never seen or heard from again as Naofumi looks at the book and bags it to read when he sets up camp once more "Naofumi-sama who was that?" Raphtalia asked "the sword hero and perhaps the only one with the brain out of the other heroes" Naofumi answered

Vallarie POV:

Vallarie was panicking as she was simply minding her own when suddenly she was pulled into an alleyway by a pair of rough hands and a fat man grinned at his prospect of a woman before a very familiar knife suddenly sunk into his throat causing him to step back and choke on his own blood as he tried to scream but all that came out was muted gargles and suddenly he collapses as another knife this time gripped by a hand was sticking out of his skull, vallarie still quite shocked stared dumbly at the scene and watched as the sword hero walked up and gave a blooded hand to help her up "miss me?"
