While Sophie, Fiona, Melina, and Violet are still in Titia, Marcus is already on his way to Prussia with Lucy.
Marcus: "Hmm… we're here."
Lucy: "Hmm…"
Marcus: "Stay with me, Lucy… this could get stressful."
He went inside and walked up the stairs.
Frank: "There you are… Marcus… Huh?... where… where is the radio?"
Marcus: "I handed it over to the Dark Umbrella. To Master Meliodas."
Frank: "(Forehead)… what did you say… How dare you!… That was an order!"
Marcus: "And because you insisted on it… several innocent people died… Mr. Frank…"
Frank: "Tssss…"
Marcus: "Hmm?"
Frank: "Lucy."
Lucy: "Ugh… uh… yes?"
Frank: "You should have stopped him."
Marcus: "Lucy has nothing to do with this… she follows my orders."
Frank: "What did you say…?"
Marcus: "You seem angry… why?… shouldn't it be irrelevant to you who has the radio?"
Frank: "Ugh…"
Marcus: "I understand… Ms. Valentine was right… you… are a spy."
Frank: "Ughh!"
Marcus: "Aren't you… Mr. Frank?… The Owls must have paid you quite a lot."
Frank: "Ughhh…"
Marcus: "Lucy… you know what that means, right?"
Frank: "Ghh."
He grabbed his pistol, but in that moment Lucy sliced off his hand.
(Splach!)
Frank: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"
Marcus: "Kill him… and hang his body in front of the window… before that, find out who helped him… those who had no choice, let them live… but those who did it willingly… show them to me."
Lucy: "Yes, sir."
(A few minutes later)
Dark Umbrella Member: "Ugh… huh…"
Dark Umbrella Member: "What the hell…"
Frank was hanging at the window, covered in blood.
(Splach)
Marcus: "Listen… Frank betrayed the organization… and has done so for years… Lucy… I want to know who among them worked for him willingly… and who under pressure."
Lucy: "Yes… these three here…"
Marcus: "Howard?… that's unfortunate… what should I tell your wife… hahh… should I make her a widow?"
Howard: "Please… spare me…"
Marcus: "Hmm… I don't feel like letting you go so easily… but making your wife a widow… no desire… letting your child grow up without a father… no desire… ah… I have an idea… Lucy… don't kill him."
Howard: "Huh… thank you…"
Marcus: "Hahh… but Howard… for 5 years you are not allowed to leave your house… who are the other two?"
Lucy: "Carsten and Henkelheim."
Marcus: "Good… you two… what should I do with you?"
Carsten: "I'm sorry… really… I didn't want to betray the organization… I didn't know anything…"
Marcus: "Hmm?"
Carsten: "I only knew he accepted an offer from the Owls…"
Marcus: "Huh?"
Carsten: "Well… two… Daisy Williams and Fiona Philomela Househould…"
Marcus: "Daisy and Fiona? Why?"
Carsten: "Hahh… Daisy's father was a former Owl member… and Fiona… well… because she helped the Dark Bride…"
Marcus: "Oh yes… I've heard of that… but the Dark Bride is actually kind…"
Carsten: "Like I said… I don't know more…"
Marcus: "Good… and you, Henkelheim?"
Henkelheim: "I know something too… Javert… he was with Frank…"
Marcus: "Javert… he's one of the elite of the Owls…"
Henkelheim: "Exactly… he said he was looking for a radio…"
Marcus: "He means the one we found… since you gave us valuable information… I'll speak to Valentine for you… oh… and you, Howard…"
Howard: "Yes…?"
Marcus: "Do you know anything else?"
Howard: "Ugh… hahh… oh yes… something comes to mind… Howgarts… Howgarts…"
Marcus: "Hmm?"
Howard: "Howgarts… was… Javert's brother…"
Marcus: "Ughh… you knew that?"
Howard: "Not really…"
Marcus: "Ghh… do you know if he had help?!"
Howard: "No… sorry…"
Marcus: "It's fine… Lucy, take them away… and you… you can rest… Ms. Valentine will take care of who your new boss will be…"
Marcus sat down in a chair in the office.
Marcus: "Hahhhhh… damn…"
Lucy: "Kid… you seem annoyed."
Marcus: "Of course, damn it! This is dangerous! Why didn't we know that Javert is Howgarts' brother?! I need to inform the Dark Umbrella immediately… but I also have to help Sophie and Fiona and their group!"
Lucy: "It's fine… we can head out, and while we do that, you inform the Dark Umbrella."
Marcus: "Yeah… good idea… let's move…"
(Meanwhile)
Sophie: "Hahh… so now we leave Tretia again…"
Fiona: "We have to return to the Ressin river… in Gregor."
Melina: "Hmm…"
They continued by train.
Sophie: "Why didn't we change our clothes?"
Fiona: "Did you forget that Sevasti probably bribed the mayor or the police to find us? This way it's easier not to get discovered."
Sophie: "Do you think it was a good idea to let Marcus go with Lucy so easily?"
Fiona: "Marcus Schneider… did you forget that the Schneider family… is actually a well-known assassin family?"
Sophie: "I know…"
Fiona: "They were even called Shadow Hands or Dark Hands… the Schneider family has existed for 300 years… they have a special ability called Hands of Corruption or Dead Eye…"
Sophie: "But isn't it true that the family… was found dead?"
Fiona: "Yes… but what we were never told… is who the murderer was…"
Sophie: "Who?"
Fiona: "Marcus' father."
Sophie: "What?!"
Fiona: "Exactly… Marcus' father killed his own family… he was tired of being born into killing… he also tried to kill Marcus… but Marcus' curse… is actually stronger than the others…"
Sophie: "What?!"
Fiona: "When he tried to kill him… a figure appeared… it looked like a harbinger of misfortune… but… it was stronger…"
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "I researched afterward… and there really is a spirit like that… it's called Deldor… they are spirits… stronger versions of harbingers… they say children who nearly died three times… are followed by them…"
Sophie: "I see…"
Fiona: "Marcus almost died at birth… then nearly drowned… and the third time he choked… Meliodas told me…"
Sophie: "I see… after that the Dark Umbrella took care of him…"
Fiona: "Exactly…"
(Meanwhile)
Marcus: "We're almost there… get ready?"
Lucy: "Sure."
