Invasion

On the day of the invasion, the Head Knight and Victon explained to the knights about their mission. "After the sun sets, you will surround the premises of the auction. I will invade the auction through a secret passage with a kid that knows the way through that passage. I will need twenty knights to come along with me to crash the auction. When I crash the auction and tries to capture as much of the attendees as possible, it's not doubt many will try to escape. That's where the knights that surrounded the premises come in. You are to arrest and hold down every escapees who's trying to run out of the auction." Victon explained while looking at the few troops of knights at his command.

He pointed to a row of twenty knights, "you will come with me to give those bastards a little surprise."

The knights kneeled and said in unison, "yes, Young Master!"

"The rest of you hide yourselves in bushes, corners, abandoned buildings, wherever. Don't let the snake notice anything before the invasion" Victon warned and as looked to the Head Knight.

"I will order the knights. There will be no mistakes, Young Master" the Head Knight said.

Victon looked at the sky which was turning orange then red in color. "Move out!"

The troops of knights wore their black cloaks to conceal themselves, then went to carry out the orders from their Young Master.

Megan went to the old house by herself today, as she knew Victon was busy dealing with those bastards. She was cleaning up the house with the kids when she heard a knock. Opening the door she saw Victon in a black cloak along with people behind him.

"Victon? Why are you here? What's happened?" Megan asked.

"Where's Esther? Can you call him over" Victon asked.

Megan who confused, went back into the house and called Esther. Esther knew it was time so he ran out and hear Victon say, "let's go."

"Wait! Why is Esther going?" Megan asked with a worried look.

"I know a secret passage that will help them" Esther answered.

"Don't worry, I won't let them hurt Esther" Victon said with reassurance while ruffling Megan's hair.

The twenty knights behind him stood frozen as they saw the lovey dovey scene: 'That's Young Master?'

Some of them pretended they didn't see anything for their own conscience. Some of them fainted, while others scared.

"Alright, move out" Victon turned back into his icy attitude as he ordered them.

The knights: 'Oh, there it is. He's back'. Their tensions dropping back down as they left the old looking house.

***********

The troops of knights have positioned themselves near where the auction was held. They've seen many people coming into the alley and going through the door, covering themselves with masks and cloaks.

Victon and Esther took the bricks from the 'wall' and opened the door on the ground. It's been a while since the auction started so they decided it was time to go underground.

Esther lead Victon and the group of knights down the passage. It was cramped and dark, a knight took a lighter and gave it to Victon who gave it to Esther. They walked steadily for minutes until Esther saw bricks up ahead. He knocked and pushed on the bricks, then he said, "you have to break through these, looks like they removed the door that was here before."

Victon told Esther to back up as he unsheathed his sword to cut through the brick wall. Walking out of the passage Victon scanned his surroundings. They were in the room where they held the people captive in large cells and chains. The people behind the bars screamed as they heard a loud rumble then looked out of their cells to see people in black cloaks.

"W-Who are you people?" A teenage girl said with a shaky voice.

"We're here to bust the slave auction, in other words, rescuing you people" Victon replied. "Esther and you two, go find the keys to the cells and chains and free these people."

The two knights saluted and went to search for the keys with Esther. Then a man with a mask barged into the room. He had heard a loud noise and he went to take a look, only to meet a fist kissing on his face.

Victon punched the man, then took one of the hand cuffs hanging on the wall and cuffed the man. He looked back at his knights and commanded coldly, "let all hell break loose."

Victon and his knights went out of the captive's room and was backstage. The people working at the auction saw the intruders coming at them at an alarming rate. The knights knocked them unconscious then tied them up as they were not ordered to annihilate.

Walking up the stairs to the stage, Victon saw a man in a mask standing on a podium saying, "this beautiful teenage girl will make your night filled with fun pleasure! Her skin is soft to touch and her curves are just perfect... best of all she's a virgin! Starting the bid at 400 gold coins!"

The girl wearing hand cuffs on the center of the stage was scared out of her mind when she heard voices from the audience saying, "600 gold coins! 1000 gold coins! 1200 gold coins!"

Victon walked up to the man on the podium and held his sword to the man's neck. "How about your head for 2 gold coins?"

When Victon said that, his knights came out as if on cue and started to arrest people nearest to them. The one of the attendees who a knight was handcuffing were confused and yelled, "what are you doing?! Do you know who I am?! I'm from the Earl's family! The Larkins! How dare you touch me!"

Victon then knocked the man in the podium out cold and said loudly and clearly with his face turning a shade darker. "I am Victon Yvonne, the eldest son of the Duke. Every one of you here will be arrested for attending to an illegal act."

Hearing his deep cold voice, the people sitting in the audience started yell and run towards the exit with their faces pale as sheets. Lady Larkins with her hands cuffed started to shake and sweat as she knew getting caught by the Duke isn't going to end well.

Esther and the two knights found the keys in one of the workers. They unlocked all of the cells and the chains that bind the victims. The people in the cells started to cry in happiness as they were freed. "Thank you little boy" said a man with tears running down his cheeks.

"No problem, I saved my sister before and wouldn't mind saving other people now" Esther replied.

He and the two knights uncuffed everyone in the cell room and went upstage to see Victon. He saw a girl on stage who was crying, still with hand cuffs on. Esther made his way to the girl and unlocked her cuffs for her. She hugged him and said gratefully, "thank you".

*************

As Victon expected, many fled. However, everyone was captured by Victon's troops of knights that surrounded the premises.

The knights unmasked the attendees to see many familiar nobles. Some were shocked to see the nobles whose image was a kind and gentle person. They were all arrested as elite knights from the castle came and picked up the offenders to send them down the dungeon for them to wait for their sentences.

Victon coughed to grab the attention of his knights and say, "everyone did a great job. You all can have the two days off starting tomorrow." The Head Knight smiled at his Young Master being so generous, while the troops of knights celebrated as they rarely got days off.

Esther saw everything that happened right before his eyes unbelievably. He came up to Victon and say, "thank you."

"No problem" Victon replied as he rubbed the boy's head. "Let's go back, it's already past midnight."
