"My heart aches when I saw those Mecha Dragons ravaging the city of our hometown." 

"Then, does it not ache when Daimon City had been besieged by those monsters? Does it not ache when Parry City is suffering the very same fate as Bearling City would have if those Mecha Dragons had not been stopped in time?!" Jin asked as he used his pistol and whipped Puzzle. 

"What about those people? Are they not the people of the Empire as well? Do you have to see the tragedy unfold right in front of your eyes to know the pain?"  Jin shouted and he walked away from Puzzle for a moment.

"Commander, do you want me to finish him?" Yinn questioned this time as she was not the only one who wished to put a bullet into him. The rest had their guns aimed at the Royal Attendants as well. 

"We do not need your information. If we can kill the Mecha Dragons, you do not think we cannot obliterate the entire Palace by ourselves?" Why would we worry about not being able to find the Queen? Burn the Palace, and let the smoke and suffocation kill her. Cut the power to the entire city, destroy any generators we see, and filled those ventilation shafts with smoke. Why would we need your help when we can do it ourselves?" Jin said and Puzzle was speechless. 

In the meantime, Lynn knew that Jin was angry but there was also restraint being shown by him. Because if Jin was really pissed and hated him, he would had already put his blade on his neck. "…The Queen is in second basement. There is a room that is meant for the Royal Attendants to leave their children there as part of the daycare centre." Puzzle said slowly and Jin sighed.

"How did this Queen is able to be the Queen is entirely out of my mind. Does she have kids as her hostages?" Jin queried and the rest nodded their heads with tears involuntarily flowing out of their eyes. "Fuck man, this Queen is not just a scumbag, she is the scummiest of the scummiest." Jin said as he raised his pistol and shot Puzzle at his shoulder. 

As the gunshot echoed through the empty halls of Bearling Palace, Puzzle tried his best not to scream or shout at all. He did give his word that if he were to be killed, the rest could be spared. However, both of them knew that Puzzle did not need to be shot instantly and Jin had started with a bullet to his right shoulder. 

"That is for Daimon. I am not sparing you nor am I going to let you die." Jin said as he put his weapon back into his holster. "However." Jin moved closer to Puzzle and then pressed on the wound with his bare hands. "It does not mean that you are going to walk away from this easily. If what you said is true, that you are the one who have done all the dealings between the Royals and other contacts, I am expecting more than just this particular information about the Queen\'s whereabouts. Do you get me?" 

Puzzle was already in utter pain and Jin\'s pressing on the wound made suffer even further. And yet, he tried his best not to sound out a single scream out at all. The rest of the Royal Attendants could not know how painful it was and yet they kept mum, knowing that the fates of their children were in the hands of this particular challenger. 

"Jin. Stop it. That\'s enough for that guy. We will grill him later." Lynn sounded out and Jin let go of his finger which enabled Puzzle to finally breath through the pain. 

"Click, do you have the schematics where will that be?" Jin asked and Click shook her head to the question. 

"There is currently no indication of such a childcare room at all in the palace blueprints." Click replied as she made the holographic plans of the palace and zoomed into the second basement. Jin then looked at Puzzle as if expecting him to know what to do. And that he did as he slowly stood up, handling the pain from the shoulder wound and pointed at that an empty area in the holographic representation of the second basement floor.

"Shouldn\'t this be the concrete foundation for the Palace, I thought its not mean to be hacked down?" Click asked and Puzzle shook his head. 

"Its because that area was meant to be torturing… prisoners and other people of interest. From what I can see is that the blueprints that you have are considered to be the first iteration of the Palace. Since then, the Palace had been through quite a lot of refurbishing and renovation to suit the current Queen\'s needs." 

"Wait, I do not understand. The Queen punishes the children?" 

"No. They merely occupied that place for the Royal Attendants to have their children taken care of in that room. It is only special circumstances where they used it for other… purposes." Puzzle said as he was huffing and puffing from the pain.

"Gosh, what a way to treat the Royal Attendants. Sigh, Page patch that attendant up. The rest, we need to have a quick strategy meeting."
