The leader of a defeated assassin unit leads a frantic retreat after Armand forces, including elite assassins Alf and Erinette, successfully disrupted their mission to eliminate the Mathrias family. Despite the loss of his best summoners and the failure of his carefully laid plot, the leader finds twisted hope in the possibility of a final confrontation at his well-defended base. He believes that killing Alf on his home turf will finally elevate his organization, the House of Dark Veil, to the pinnacle of the assassin world.

Meanwhile.

Mathrias Estate.

Gracelle’s room.

Javier raised his hand, and a medical gurney manifest itself beside Gracelle’s bed.

"Myra, assist me in moving the patient onto the gurney."

"As you command, Your Highness." Myra immediately moved to Javier's side while her team stood at the ready.

Myra channeled her skill, gently lifting Gracelle until she hovered and glided onto the gurney.

Javier readied the specialized equipment—a mana-powered ECG, a portable oxygen supply with a mask, an IV stand loaded with purified healing fluids, and a vital signs monitor. He methodically connected each device, verifying that every component was stable and operating correctly.

Once Gracelle was secured, he triggered a switch on the frame, causing a translucent magic barrier to envelop her, shielding her from any external contamination.

"We shall transport her to the operating suite now," Javier announced, pushing the double doors open.

"Understood, Your Highness." Myra and her subordinates complied, positioning themselves to maneuver the gurney, with two at the rear for support and one at the front leading the way.

Marcor and Garak took the lead, scanning the hallway with their mana guns raised in high alert. The two battle maids trailed close behind, hands gripped firmly on the hilts of their magic swords, poised for any sudden threats.

Javier paced alongside Myra as she navigated the gurney.

"I will outline every phase of the procedure before the surgery begins," Javier stated, his demeanor calm and detached. "This includes the operation of our tools, the established sequence of actions, and essential monitoring tasks. You will observe, learn, and offer assistance as needed. Consider this a practical training session for your team."

He cast a sharp look toward the group. "Upon arrival, all weapons, rings, jewelry, and other personal accessories must be stripped off before entering the sterile zone. We cannot risk any form of contamination."

"As you command, Your Highness."

Upon reaching the portable facility established earlier, they ushered the gurney into the sterile entry chamber. Javier turned his gaze to Marcor, Garak, and the two battle maids.

"Your protection of the patient has been exemplary. Now, proceed to the adjacent building to recuperate; I will handle things from here. Also, ensure Liana is summoned to join me immediately."

"As you command, Your Highness." Marcor, Garak, and the maids pressed their palms to their chests in a bow before exiting, securing the door firmly behind them.

Javier addressed Myra and her female subordinates. "You three, move to the first chamber." He gestured toward the Staff Preparation area. "Scrub your bodies thoroughly using the soap I have provided inside. Absolutely everything—jewelry, earrings, and accessories—must be removed as I directed. Once finished, use the rune panel to dispense a towel, dry yourself, and place the used linens in the disposal bin."

He continued, "For your hair, head to the drying station. Press the final rune panel to retrieve the sanitized surgery attire I have prepared: scrubs, masks, and caps. Do not keep your current clothing on, and switch into the clogs provided. Everything is ready. Do this precisely, then perform a total purification and cleansing skill on your bodies. Once done, proceed to the Holding Bay with the patient and await my further instructions."

Myra nodded in acknowledgement. "We shall do as you say, Your Highness."

Javier added, "There is no need for documentation, as I have already prepared all the notes and protocols in advance."

He noticed the women staring at him.

Javier let out a light chuckle, his gaze sweeping over them playfully. "I would offer to demonstrate how to wear the attire, but..." he smirked, his eyes flicking momentarily toward their chests before he neatly brushed his hair back with a carefree air, "...I assume none of you wish to be seen naked by me~"

Myra let out a genuine laugh while the others shook their heads, wearing amused smiles. "If you desire it, Your Highness, we would not object."

Javier chuckled. "No, no~ I would land myself in significant trouble... Liana would have my hide~" He smiled again. "There is a screen displaying a visual guide on the proper way to dress. Just follow the tutorial, and you will be fine. Now move, time is of the essence, and I must prepare myself as well."

"Yes, Your Highness." The team gave a graceful bow and headed toward the preparation room.

He turned his head just as the door cracked open and Liana peeked inside.

"Young Master? You called for me?"

Javier gulped.

Did she happen to overhear my comment to Myra?

Hopefully not.

He thrust his hands into his pockets and gave a faint smile. "Step inside, Liana."

"Mm..." Liana replied, gliding gracefully into the room and closing the door.

She approached him, noticing Gracelle on the stretcher, then looked back at Javier.

"So, you are commencing the surgery soon?"

"Yes," Javier replied, keeping his hands in his pockets. "And I require your assistance during the procedure."

Liana shook her head, a soft smile playing on her lips. "You know, Gloria was pouting in the next building when she found out you only called for me and not her."

Javier smiled, dropping his voice lower. "I apologize, but your skill set is essential for this."

"Understood, Young Master. What are my duties?"

Javier smiled. "Once Myra and the others finish, we will go prepare ourselves together. I will instruct you on the process, as I need your aid from the Holding Bay through to the induction and the surgery itself." He looked down at her. "I am sorry for relying on you so heavily, but I have no other choice. Only you can truly help me with this."

Liana looked up, narrowing her eyes at him, and whispered, "We will not be doing anything inappropriate inside the room, will we? We already did that this morning. Plus, Mimi was involved too~"

Javier leaned in and murmured into her ear.

"I certainly wish to, but I must remain focused on making this surgery a success. Distractions are not an option right now."

"Mm... I shall walk out if you are distracted by such thoughts when something of this magnitude is at risk."

Javier smirked. "You are aware I am a man, and you are my girl~"

"Indeed. But you have yet to make that official."

"Whoa... are you truly pulling that excuse on me right now?"
