----------

It was one of the few cities here in Germany that hadn't been 'modernized' in the last couple of years, at least not at the same level as Berlin, Cologne and Frankfurt.

Having been in Soviet control up until a decade or so ago, the improvements over Dresden were minimal at best, and the region had just recently started to receive some proper investments after the period of the two Germanies.

After a couple of minutes spent wandering around and keep up with Vali's quickened pace right to the closest section of the city that was known to have some magical quarters, I was finally allowed some rest when the young man come to a stop.

We were in an alley that was connected to one of the entrance that allowed to the magical area, which prompted me to consider mirthfully that it was just like a 'Diagon Alley' to a certain degree.

But the reason that prompted Vali to stop was something that got me attentive over the Divine Dividing Host as he seemed suddenly… tense.

"Is something wrong?"

My question was left hanging for some time, then he sighed.

"I can feel some magic similar to a dragon… but it's odd. Diluted," He replied curtly, causing me to look around the large crowd of people going through their every day, shopping around or even just enjoying some pleasant walk through that barely-cloudy day. I could see numerous magicians, easy to recognize from their curiously-colored clothes and their tipped hat.

But it was while I scanned around for any clue for this worrisome development that I finally noticed what could be creating this big issue to Vali, or to Albion to be specific.

Walking with a pretty smile occupying her lips, and with her bright blue eyes carefully looking around the massive market-like square, a certain witch was enjoying spending some time with her older brother.

The young man beside her was blond, just like her, but he had a refined style in his clothing as he was wearing some formal pieces compared to the easygoing school-related clothes the girl was wearing.

Arthur and Le Fay Pendragon. They were already serving under Khaos Brigade at this point of the timeline and… they were here.

I gritted my teeth but nodded at Vali. "Found the issue and… I suggest you don't try anything funny with them."

He gave me a long look. "Why?"

"Let's just say I don't want to see you getting blasted by Caliburn right now," I muttered casually, causing him to tense up at the familiar word.

"What?!" He almost exclaimed, but I stopped him just enough to moderate his voice.

"The two descendants of King Arthur and Morgan Le Fay," I continued to explain carefully, starting to take the lead for this little quiet chase. "And I think we've found a good trail to follow."

He followed, keeping beside me as we both made sure to keep eyesight over the two sibling as these looked fairly unaware of the fact that we were following them closely.

And hopefully, we will manage to subdue them without having to incur in some unneeded fair fight with the…

---------

This was the first time I was dealing with this much of an important tailing.

Nervousness had already taken a solid grip over my mind as my moderate paranoia was doing well in guiding me from trying to get too much close to the two siblings.

Both Vali and I were carefully following around them through this magical district of the German city, well aware that a direct confrontation right now wouldn't result in something fairly unpleasant.

While the host of the Divine Dividing was powerful and his balance breaker could technically overwhelm the two quickly with some swift action, I wasn't going to gamble a success based on speed when we are dealing with one of the strongest swordsmen in the world.

Plus Caliburn was way beyond our current capacity to deal in a normal fight, the Holy Sword best known for its absurd capacity to muster an enormous amount of Holy energy that could easily shatter a High-Level Devil.

It was frustrating that I was aware of this clear inferiority, I was even more concerned when I noticed Vali starting to itch for a completely aggressive approach instead of the subtle one we were having right now.

Thankfully, he wasn't just going to spring in action just yet, giving me the chance of carefully study the place that could become our next battlefield.

Too many innocent mages were currently wandering around in the large square, making me flinch at the possibility of those ending up being caught in the crossed fire coming from both sides.

I knew that at least Arthur wouldn't try anything heinous about the matter, knowing that his chivalrous personality would forbid to do anything about that, and I was quite certain that Le Fay didn't just have the heart to try and commit anything too bad with the bystanders.

The two Pendragons looked blissfully unaware of what was currently happening, slightly reducing the hints of worries that were even now urging me to not pursuit the two for too long with this little endeavor.

It just felt too easy, the situation was just too calm and I couldn't help but think that something bad was soon going to happen if I didn't properly understand why these two were here of all places.

And why they were wandering in broad daylight?

Some should really recognize their appearances, at least Arthur as he was the heir to the Pendragon Family, and yet nobody was giving too much of a reaction to this, further sparking my confusion over the matter.

We continued to shadow the two for a couple of minutes, with the siblings pausing more than once to visit the nearby shops, presumably to purchase some resources or ingredients for the young magic user.

The activity turned nerve-wracking when I noticed that they didn't seem in the mood to leave the highly-crowded place anytime soon… which meant that we were going to stay there for a while.

Vali's urges didn't increase in the meantime, but those didn't seem to be diminishing too.
