"None of you shall go anywhere at this moment!" another voice boomed as it approached the auction area, shortly followed by the rythmic sounds of boots marching on the pavement of the market. "On the express orders of the emperor, you shall all stand down at this instant. Those that resist will be killed without a second thought, those that submit will be treated as fairly as possible, you all have the word of Siegmund Holderlin!"

Soon followed by his statement were a group of over 40 people, most armed with swords, pikes and magitech blasters and wearing the best protection that money could afford. A few however, were distinct from the mass of armor, they wore the garments of mages, not the ones of warriors and all of them pointed their hands at everyone present in the market, no matter who they wore. At the head of all these people was a tall and distinct figure, it did not wear steel armor, or a mages robes, but instead he wore the classy suit a noble with wear. The lines on his face that would soon turn into wrinkles and the white hair showed that this man was in the latter years of his life and yet despite that, the man carried himself with confidence and though his face looked on the verge of change, he was still a person someone could call handsome. Lastly, his family name, the name Holderlin had gained large amounts of fame during his lifetime, not only due to him restoring the status of his family back to one of the richest noble families in the empire, but also being able to marry his daughter to the current emperor and subsequently supporting him in revolt that had carried out.

First, his sight fell upon the two young Edelweiss boys and smiled at them, doing a brief curt bow before them. "My good boys, what trouble have you gotten yourself in!" he spoke, a polite smile forming on his face. "And here I just rescued your sister, and now I have to rescue you two as well, your old father will have to owe me for this one!"

However, his smile died and his expression hardened as his sight fell upon Lady Vespid, he did not like her at all, she was someone unpredictable, with a large wealth and an agenda nobody but her seemed to know and backing her agenda was her own little private army, something which made her all the more dangerous in his eyes, she was one of the few people he considered threatening enough to be wary around and now, it was all the worse as both of them had their soldiers here, if it came to blows, it would become mess even bigger than it already was.

"Lady Vespid, may I inquire as to why you have seen it fit to come here and mete out your own brand of... justice, if one person may call it that?" he asked, slightly tensing up. "It is up to the city guards and to groups sanctioned by the emperor himself to punish criminals and extremists, such as his faithful Kaiserjägers, not by vigilantes and people with secret and potentially harmful agendas... such as yourself."

As soon as the soldiers there heard their name being spoken, all of them pointed their pikes forward, ready to deal with anyone Siegmund considered threatening. He raised his hand up high, signaling his present soldiers to get ready to attack everyone there, the lich, the other undead... and Lady Vespid and her private soldiers, should she prove hostile enough.
