Benjamin orders his soldiers to act as Royal Guards
Later, Prince Benjamin orders his private soldiers, to both act as bodyguards and spies to all the other princes, and to report any information regarding the Princes' Guardian Spirit Beasts and the Hunters' abilities.[6] As Prince Momoze rests in her bedroom, Vict, Nipaper, Bladge, and Laroc stand guard outside her room, while Tuffdy patiently waits to assassinate the Prince.[2] After Prince Momoze's murder, Vict, along with the other bodyguards are taken into custody by the Kakin Army to be interrogated about the murder.[3]
Vict is subsequently freed[note 1] and eventually assigned to Room 1009. He uses his Nen ability to attack Prince Halkenburg, to no effect. He manages to warn Benjamin about the latter's bow before being defeated.
