我唾弃你的坟墓1

Before answering Jin looked over to Aron\'s waist and saw the two arcane guns but no axe. He was among the few that witnessed the devastating ability they could cause so it seemed like Aron was ready to strike depending on the situation.

"I\'m unsure myself, it seems a bit much considering the crime you committed is rather minuscule so it has to be something else." Everyone including Lady Rose first thought that the numerous airships were gathered there to seize them but it did seem rather overkill to send that many for just leaving the academy without permission.

Before Aron could begin pondering the situation, the La Belle got closer and hovered around a hundred meters away to their left. His gaze turned in that direction and soon saw a bird flying over from that direction carrying what looked to be a scroll.

The mid sized bird that resembled a hawk dropped off the scroll near Aron before flying back towards the La Belle and landing on the rail near Juliet.

"An explanation perhaps?" Lady Rose inquired causing Aron to quickly open it in hope for understanding the situation. "No, a problem." Aron replied as a look of annoyance appeared on his face.

The scroll clearly summarized the situation concerning the so called celebration set to be held at Galos academy and that apparently they along with the La Belle were to be welcomed as successful teams in finding yet another ruin on the Komi Islands and successfully establishing friendly relations with the natives.

"Of course, they must\'ve already relayed the events that\'s transpired... in quite the detail too it seems." Lady Rose finally understood and referred to the crew of the La Belle as the informants.

Aron and Lady Rose had expected this information to go public sooner or later but the manner in which it did so was far too quick. He assumed they would\'ve at least kept the information to themselves to monopolize the situation but their actions paved way for all factions, families and other organizations to have a chance.

"Isn\'t that a good thing then? We\'re being welcomed so greatly after all." Xavier turned to Claudia and inquired but she immediately shook her head, unlike him she was well versed in the schemes of the upper class. "Not in the least, imagine if an orphaned child discovered let\'s say a mana crystal and this became known to his entire village... do you think he would still keep it or even his life?" She retorted as the look of worry on her face became more apparent.

Claudia\'s simple example was understood by Xavier and the other members standing on deck. They were a crew composed of commoners with little to no backings or support, whatever it is they gained was clearly going to be the target of the so called guests awaiting them in Galos City.

"It\'s even worse because although we were the first to arrive and the Islands. Since the crew of of La Belle got nothing I\'m sure they reported that we must know more about this ruin they\'re talking about." As far as Claudia and the others were concerned they didn\'t discover any ruin this time around.

Lady Rose, Aron and Evanora didn\'t disclose this information to anyone else since the ruin was already technically lost. As for what benefits it held, Aron could only know if he encountered Sayiva again.

"This is clearly a ploy to make it seem like we are withholding a discovery from not only Ettenheim but Galos academy as well, leaving us with little to no support in the matter." Aron could easily identify the possible plot currently being cast against them and Lady Rose agreed.

Even if he and Lady Rose came clean about the ruin they initially found, it was now lost and inaccessible. Worst off it may lead to them having to bring up Sayiva who was best kept unknown until they themselves new more about her.

"It\'s highly possible, the only question is who is spearheading this against us." Lady Rose showed a look of displeasure and turned her attention to the La Belle. Everyone followed her gaze and they couldn\'t help but all cast the blame on them for leaking this information.

"Don\'t bother getting upset with them, they could be a decoy to divert our attention for all we know. They obviously played a part but I doubt they are the only ones..." Claudia turned to the other members and advised before looking to Aron for the way forward.

"Then those airships aren\'t here to welcome us, they are here to make sure we don\'t escape. It can\'t be a coincidence that Lady Rose wasn\'t informed and we\'re only now being told of this." Jin also added onto the matter before sighing and turning to Aron as well.

Aron took a moment to answer and he stared at the gatherings of airships a little longer with intensity in his gaze. "We don\'t have much choice now do we, since they wish to play games then we\'ll gladly entertain them."

With that said Aron moved away from the rail and began walking back inside. Lady Rose glanced at the airships a final time as well before following him. "Inform us of any changes that occur." She instructed Claudia before leaving with Evanora by her side.

She and Aron along with Evanora gathered in the private library and sat around a circular table before further analyzing the situation.

"Do you think Belle is behind this?" Aron cut to the chase and brought up who he thought was the prime instigator of this.

"I wouldn\'t put it past her since she holds a great dislike for myself and probably you. That being said I doubt she\'s the only one involved, this will be quite tricky to handle this early ." Lady Rose lifted her notebook off the table and began tapping it with a pen as she quietly pondered ways to go about this.

However before she could generate any ideas Aron turned to her with a look of surety on his face. "No, I can work with this. But it will come at a cost for us three in particular."

Upon hearing this Lady Rose began to wonder just what it could be that he was planning. Perhaps the three of them fleeing by force? No if that were the case they would have done so already so just what was it he was planning. "Hmm. Does this by any chance have to do with the fact us three are the only ones who know of the former ruin that laid in the Komi Islands? Well aside from the elven woman and whoever else she told."

"Yes it does, now here\'s what I propose we do..." Even with his initial plans for arriving back in Galos in jeopardy, Aron chose to make the best out of what seemingly looked like an arduous situation.
