With everyone on edge due to the disappearances, Celica was shocked on how calm Genny was during this whole thing. Everyone knew where Genny was during the disappearances so they had no reason to suspect her. In fact, she was scribbling something in a notebook more than ever.
"Genny, how can you stay this calm during this whole thing?" The Princess asked
"Oh, I'm using this whole scenario for the sequel to the novel I told you about!" Genny replied as she looked up from her notebook. "It's good practice for suspenseful scenes coming up, and it will all tie in with the first book!"
"Ok, that sounds really interesting then. Try not to kill the character you based off of me."
"I'll try."
The rest of the day went uneventful, with Genny continuing to write until nightfall where she took a break to eat with everyone and discuss things happening in her book, to gain advice for scenes or just basic editing. Afterwards, she returned to her tent to edit and write more. Later on in the night, as the cleric was in the middle of one of the less important scenes when she heard a male singing, and really well at that. She slipped out of her tent and into one of the nearby bushes. It was Lukas who was singing it, and the words were becoming more and more disturbing.
"A rusty knife made of steel shall take care of Saber, A shiny sharp sword and one glorious slash to eliminate Kamui, I can hardly wait for morning to come again!" Despite the fact that he was singing about murdering the army, Genny found the singing nice. She had to warn Leon, as it looked like he had already gotten to Saber and Kamui. She quickly snuck around bushes, trying to not alert the redhead that she has seen what he had been up to. She arrived to Leon's tent to see that it was empty. It seemed like the archer's bladder saved his life. Genny ran out to where the army usually did their "business" only to hear crying.
"Leon?" Genny whispered, trying to not let Lukas know she was out there.
"Genny?" Leon asked as he came out from behind one of the trees, his eyes red from crying.
"I know who did this whole thing."
"Who?"
"It was Lukas... I saw him holding a bloodied knife and there was blood on his face. He killed Saber and Kamui. I know it sounds stupid..."
"I'll take any justice I can." The archer replied
"I have a plan. We find Clive and warn him about Lukas, then go find Berkut to stop him."
"Why of all people him?"
"He's the only person aside from Saber that we know with enough power to decently take him on, and seeing how Saber just got a knife to him...."
"We need an alibi to get out though..."
"We're running out of supplies. And it's true."
"Got it."
The two went back to their respective tents, knowing of their plan but not of the fact Lukas had listened in on their whole conversation.
"Those fools..."
