"Master? We have new word from Lady Vanessa." Said one of the sailors with deepest reverence. He waited in the reading room of the ship and looked at the silhouette of his master. At the man's beck, the sailor continued.
"Lady Vanessa lets us know that she found the woman you spoke of. In her message Lady Vanessa informs that she is not going to intrigue against us. The high Lady Vanessa believes that it is more a political game of the ruling class of this country."
"So? the voice of the master sounded almost emotionless.
"Yes master. Apparently, the woman called Johanna, together with her daughter and the president..."
"Daughter?" The word was questioning and yet full of surprise, something the sailor hadn't heard in the tone of his master for a long time.
"Yes master. The High Lady Vanessa is sure that the woman named Johanna has a daughter called Sin.
"I assume the helicopter is fueled and ready to go?"
"Of course, master! I have taken the liberty to prepare it already. He's ready to go and just waiting for you." He said with a deep bow as his master passed him by.
"You may choose a reward Juan!" said his master before he left the room.
When he arrived on the landing deck of the mega yacht, his bodyguard was already standing there waiting for him. As always, she wore a skintight catsuit made of black leather that was perfectly tailored to her body. She also wore a black vinyl corset and wore her deep black hair falling loosely over her shoulders. The whole outfit emphasized her flawless alabaster skin all the more.
"Master" she bowed deeply and gave him the chance to enjoy her deep outfit, especially her tight top.
"Anais! We have to make a journey," he said calmly as he entered the helicopter.
" As you command Master." She said and followed him. As soon as the two were sitting the pilot accelerated and took off. In the darkness of the night the black helicopter glided like a shadow, illuminated only by the position lights, over the water. Anais kept looking out the window to check that no weapons were pointed at her. The darkness was no obstacle for her and the great distance to the city did not deter her.
"Do you allow me to speak Master?" she asked after some time.
"I allow it." He answered her.
"Which clan has aroused your anger so much that you leave the ship to go to war?
"It is not a clan against which we are going to draw Anais. I wish to visit an old project. Apparently there have been unexpected developments."
Anais looked up amazed. It was unusual that her master was surprised by something. It was also unusual that he left the ship. Even more unusual was that he left his ship in such a hurry. He just sat there looking in front of him. Anais could hardly get enough of him. Her master was of such beauty that it dazzled her senses whenever she could afford this luxury.
"You seem amazed Anais?" he said suddenly and caught his beautiful bodyguard in the middle of her thoughts.
"I... forgive me master. I am not in a position to harass you." She admitted meekly and saw her master smile.
"In battle you are my most powerful blade and yet you are insecure when we are alone. Do I make you nervous?"
"Master, of course. And you know that too master. After all, you enjoy embarrassing me," she admitted cheekily.
"Almost as much fun as it pleases you to seduce me. We are looking for a woman!
Immediately the eyes of Anais glowed wildly and she distorted the beautiful face for a second. Even after an eternity at his side she had not yet resigned herself to the thought that her master from time to time desired another woman. She was aware that she had a special position with her master, but she was also aware that her master could take what he wanted and when he wanted.
"Not this kind of woman my beautiful Anais." Said her master in a calm, matter-of-fact voice. He had known his bodyguard for a long time and could read her like in a book. No emotion of her face remained closed to him. "Have I ever told you about the Valkyrie Project?"
"No master You have not done that Master. She asked now clearly curiously.
"It was the idea to change a human being. His blood, his flesh and his essence. I had great hope in this project but unfortunately it was a fundamental failure. It created a kind of Überwoman. She was blessed with great strength, perseverance and longevity but did not fulfill any requirements that I had put into this project." He explained slowly and calmly.
"You're talking about Hauptmann Deutschland right?" she asked in astonishment. "That means YOU created Hauptmann Deutschland?"
"No, of course not. I only arranged that a certain doctor got some blood samples. From this he then created an elixir that turned a weak, mortal woman into a heroine." He said and emphasized the word heroine sarcastically.
"I read about her deeds in World War II Master. She has achieved some significant victories." She dared to say. But she had heard a lot about the great warrior.
"Do not remind me of this ridiculous war. It has caused unnecessary damage to this country. Without this war my goals would already be finished today! this miserable war has thrown Germany back years and forced me to invest much more resources than planned to rebuild it. These wretched rats have dared to start a war that has set the whole continent on fire. And for what" he rolled his eyes and clenched his fist for a short time.
"Forgive Master. I didn't want to make you angry. Is it this woman who brought you back to these regions? I was amazed when you ordered the course. You had disappeared from this land for almost five decades and left it to Lady Vanessa to rule in your name. I never understood why you left the land at the beginning of the war."
"There is nothing to forgive Anais. I had my reasons to leave the land. An old enemy raised his head and challenged me. I could not avoid this fight and had to wage it."
"I remember," she said, concerned. She remembered well how her master had come to the Holy City of Marrakech at that time. The city that had been home to his clan for thousands of years. The city in which the Sargopharg of the founder stood. The holiest of all relics of the clan. She had been in her education at that time to be prepared for the efforts of being his bodyguard. She remembered as if it had been yesterday when she had seen him for the first time in her life. She couldn't get the picture of him out of her mind since when he passed her proudly and unbrokenly. The first time he took a seat on the ancient throne, she had been awestruck. Then she had taken her oath of allegiance to him. And since that day she has been his assassin! She was the dagger in the fist of his shadow. Anyone who wanted to get to her master would have to walk over her cold, dead corpse.
"If this woman was a failure ... why are you looking for her now?" she asked finally and he nodded.
"I didn't consider that this woman would breed naturally. I have not even thought that this woman would live so long. She has reached an amazing age. And maybe her child is what I was looking for then. And now I will look at this woman with my own eyes."
"Master! She does not deserve such an honour! Let me hunt her down and bring her to you!
He now smiled and answered while pouring himself a glass of wine: "You would hunt her down and capture her just so I wouldn't have to leave my ship?"
"Master! No matter who this child is, she is not worth it. Why does she deserve such an honor to be visited by you," she hissed furiously, deadly serious.
"Why does she deserve this honor? Quite simply. First of all. Because maybe she carries the healing for my family within her. Secondly. Because I'm afraid that the return of Hauptmann Deutschland will pull certain forces onto the stage... and thirdly... because I grant her this honor!" he said and looked at her strictly at the last point.
Anais had fought many fights for her master in her young life. She had faced the enemies of her master in dozens of places around the world, she had eliminated enemies and threats in his name before being promoted to his permanent bodyguard. There was little she really feared. But she had watched him punish Lady Vanessa's protégé. Until that time she had never seen her master act. It had always been her who had put his will through. It was the first time that she had experienced a breath of his true power. And since that moment she wondered why he had a bodyguard at all.
