" lauri you will be with me and I will shake my hand at you in a way you know you need to call them " said josephine , lauri nodded

" and lets get our weapons " said josephine

and proceeded them to a room filled with weapons

" take anything you want " said josephine while taking a small piston and a knife

they got a knife and few other things

' is it your highness weapons or castle' thought fin

" it mine " said josephine seeing their confused faces

they just nodded

" let me wear a commoner cloth first , I cant let anyone think I was there " said josephine as went in and came out with casual clothes with a mask on her face ,( her cloths has a skirt but under it has a lower like pajama which was common in those times in a village for a working women )

" lets proceed " said josephine

they went to the village

" where should we start " asked mira ( crew name - mira, sam, fin , lauri and princess josephine )

" a lucifer we should first start with asking around the village which I will do just keep and eye on who I ask and people near us " said josephine

they nodded

and scatter around where she goes except of lauri

" hello sir do you know any lucifer " said josephine

" no mam I dont know any lucifer " said the man

" oh " said josephine and went to another man

" sir do you know any lucifer who lives in village " said josephine

" I know , there is a man who runs a shop near the end of market , named luci.wears " said the man

" thank you sir " said josephine

"lauri tell me how was everyone near who heard the name lucifer " said josephine

" most were normal but few looked away "said lauri

" I want you to follow them and come back if you see anything shady " said josephine

lauri nodded and left

they went to the shop

" hello are you lucifer " said josephine

" yes indeed madam , what can I get you " said the man , he very old and bony

" now sir do you do any black jobs for money " said josephine

" madam I think you mistook my intentions " said the man

" is that so , but I will give you a lot of money if you do so " said josephine

" no madam I do not do any kind of mischief , and I want you to leave or I will call the guards " said the man

" of course " said josephine , she turned around

" I expected that , we should

but then lauri caught up with her

" any information '' said josephine

" yes they went in the black market to a weapon shop " said lauri

" we shouldn't just rush there but tell the others to go first and keep their eye on shop secretly , after a while or two ,I will proceed " josephine said

" ok princess " said lauri as she again went off

she went a bit deep in the market near workshops

' now should be the time ' thought josephine

she was moving towards black market

from a silent street when a man stops them

" madam , it is the black market , soft petals like you do not go there " said the man in black suit

'' but sir soft petals like me can clutch insects like you " said josephine giving a good cold attitude with a cold smirk

" is that so " said the man

" move away I dont talk to insects " said josephine

at that man made a move by trying to grab josephine's hand but josephine quickly moved and caught his arm a pulled it behind his back

" I told you I dont talk to insects if they dont move away I kill them " said josephine while breaking his arm , he ran away

" I will tell the gaurds " said the man

" tell them " said josephine while again moving

but someone was watching her every act and after that he quickly ran away

josephine noticed it but then went on

" madam are you going to lucifer " said a man he was muscular and tall

" yes indeed can I get to him "said josephine

" what do you want him to do and how much money can you give " said the man

" I will tell him what I want amd what I can give " said josephine

the man was impressed by her as he also saw her beating the man from afar the street

'' come with me " said the man

she smirked and he followed her to an abandon place

" is it ths workplace or just old trick for you kill me " said josephine

" no madam he is in " said the man

she nodded and went in

it was built but old the door was not of wood but metal , she slowly clutched it and opened it

and her eyes fell on 3 fighting sticks lined up

' is he giving me an advantage or is he thinking to beat me with it ' she thought

" hello my lady , what brings you here " said the man who was sitting on the chair which was dirty grey and seemed like a royal chair

" sir are you called lucifer " said josephine as she bowed

" what do you want from me " said the man joining his figures leaning back at his chair squinting his eyes

" sir lucifer , I just want to know do you kill any high ranking or even royals as the money is quite high from me " said josephine

" madam or should we say your highness , yes we do " said lucifer making josephine smirk under the mask

" sir are you taken back by my beauty , as I cant even think of being a royal or even high ranking " said josephine still smirking

" now your highness lets not play the fooling game , and tell what I can do to serve a royal " said the man now getting up and slightly brushing his coat , he looked like a high ranking

" sir I think you have mistaken" said josephine

as he was coming closure

" your highness , I have not " said lucifer and took her mask off but it was because josephine let him

" lucifer now that we have met , who ordered you to attempt a murder " said josephine

" I was given order to kill both of you by a someone now that you are here , lets proceed " he said taking out his knife and trying to stab her but in an instance she dodge him

" there should be a equal match " she said as she took her gun out and aimed his leg

but when she was going to shoot he took his hands up I air as a surrender looking horrified

but suddenly took her gun and ran out of his room and a sound came

" your highness if you really can kill me " said the man and and there came 5 men

" that coward bastard " she said under her breath
