Royal Enforcement Division

Royal Enforcement Division or RED has a literally translated meaning of: Zahard + Royal(ty) + under direct command + punishment/enforcement + squad/division/regiment/etc which gives some hints about what they do.

This division is part of the Zahard Family but the members don't bear the surname of Zahard. For example, Lo Po Bia Ren bears the surname of Bia. None of them have received the powers of Zahard and they don't call the King "Father", unlike the Princesses who also belong to the Zahard Family. This means they're not the "chosen sons or daughters" of Zahard.

However, the RED does receive the protection of the King, in exchange for upholding the Zahard Family name and image.

The division has an infamous reputation in the Tower and even among the Zahard Family, as Ren was called "an assassin of the Zahard Family".

Symbol used by the RED
Members of the division wear garmets bearing a crest similar to that of the Crimson Three Eyes. However, the crest may or may not be also named the Crest of the Crimson Three Eyes.

Hierarchy and Structure
The Enforcement Division has independent ranks and a command hierarchy. It seems a member is chosen from those "worthy of bearing the Crest of the Crimson Three Eyes" and likely, appointed by the King or the Commander. To be chosen, they must be very talented and be a Ranker.

Known Ranks: Commander, Vice-commander (there might be more than just one).

It seems that each member is issued a number. For example, Ren is No. 67 of the division.

Loyalty to the King
The Royal Enforcement Division serve Zahard and no one else. However, most of them feel no loyalty to Zahard. This is because most of them joined for the thrill of battle or political gain, instead of an obligation to Zahard.

They also join to further their personal agenda as the Zahard Family brings prestige and many privileges. Being part of the RED places one in a position to eliminate potential or existing rivals of their Family's Princess.The only thing the members have in common is that they are all in awe of the power of Zahard.

Their Scope of Authority
The RED is likely part of a system designed to keep heresy inside the Tower in check. Their jurisdiction is decided by the King and only concerns the Princesses and certain issues related to them.

These include carrying out her assigned duties, her personal conduct or the rules governing all Princesses, the 13 Month Series rules, unlawful orders issued by a Princess as RED must uphold the name and reputation of the King and the Zahard Empire.

The RED member may also ignore a Princess' offenses, should they have valid reasons for doing so.

As of now, it's unknown if all formal investigations must be launched with the permission of the King or if the higher-ups are able to issue orders, on behalf of the King.

Presence in general
It's unknown how much of a public presence they have, though the RED is quite infamous within the Tower. As they only report to Zahard and its superiors.

Relations with the Princesses
The relationship between the RED and Princesses is somewhat complicated. They may cooperate in putting up a strained front before the King. However, they may clash openly when planning or carrying out missions. Other factors which affect their relationships include personal agenda, Family politics (branch vs main Family, Family vs Family) or relations between Princesses or RED members (from the same or a different Great Family).

Below is an example of the friction between the RED and the Princesses:

When Princess Ha Yuri Zahard confronted Ren, both clashed whether who would retrieve Green April or kill Anaak Zahard

Orders and Missions
Take note that the King issues an order to the RED which reviews his order and related information. A mission is then issued to a RED member. Over time, the scope of that mission might be revised and even expanded over time.

After Ren infiltrated the Second Floor as Yuga, he discovered Anak also possessed the Black March. He included this information in his reports to his superior and also mentioned Baam could be a potential RED member. In his final report, he mentioned about the blooming friendship between Androssi and Anak, saying "unless something unexpected happens, those two will certainly pass". He also declared he would "definitely retrieve the Black March and Green April in the final test". During the final test, he decided to get Androssi Zahard to execute the fake Princess, Anak Zahard, to uphold the reputation of the Zahard Family and prove her loyalty to the King.

In the event that a RED member fails to complete a task, it seems they can make a report to their division and/or the King as long as there is evidence.

Known Missions

 * To execute Anak Zahard's mother and to retrieve the Green April.
 * To retrieve Green April, Black March and execute Anak Zahard.
