Chapter 1

(The POV will mainly transition between two people but will often be 3rd person or another character)

Tsubasa

"Excuse me milord, but you have guests who wish to see you." Kuro, my retainer told through the door.

"Fine, they got here earlier than I expected." I said sighing as I rose from my seat. I left the documents and paperwork where they were so I can continue going through them in order when I returned.

When I opened the door, Kuro was waiting there for me, he gave me a slight nod before leading me towards the main room, where my guests awaited my presence.

As we walked to the main room, some of the other retainers stopped to stare as we passed. But I've learned to pay no mind to those commoners.

"Lord Tsubasa, it is an honor." I hear some of my guests say as they bow their heads deeply in my presence.

I only nodded. "Have you come here to accept my proposition?" I asked flatly.

"Yes milord, we have the weapons you asked for in our cargo." One of them said happily.

"Once I have a look at your weaponry, then you all can take your pick at the slaves." I said with a small smile on my face.

Nothing pleases me more than to take possession of new weaponry, especially weapons brought from the Europeans.

"Then you can come right this way, Lord Tsubasa." A guest said as he led me out to where the wagons and horses were.

"Fifty guns and over a hundred ammunition, just what you wanted." The guest said happily as he pried open one of the boxes.

A large smile crept up my face as I held one of the guns. It was rather heavy but it doesn't matter.

I loaded up the gun and explored the whole outer gun as my hand brushed against the trigger. "I wonder how much damage this does." I said with an amused look on my face as I stared at one of the retainers that were close by.

I aimed the gun at the retainer and shot him in the chest. The retainer fell to the ground instantly as the sound of maids shrieking in horror was heard. Blood started to pour out of the now dead corpse.

"You've all done well, you may pick out fifteen of my servants to hold as slaves." I said with the same amused face as I watched the retainer's blood continue to spill. The guests looked scared but nodded as they went back into the castle to select their slaves.

"Kuro, make sure you get the maids to clean up after that mess." I gestured towards the dead body. Kuro nodded, a smile still on his face as he went to notify the maids.

I went off to the training facility, where my troops are training, waiting my orders. I've been planning a certain attack for months, and tomorrow evening, the plan will finally be put into action.

"Alright men!! Get into your formation now!!" I yelled.
