The universe of Aeonia consists of 12 realms—Archonia is one of the 12 realms where Humans, Elves, Demi-humans, and Demons live. Archons were the guardians and Gods that protected the realm of Archonia. However, due to the greed of the Archonians, they rebelled against the Archons for their power. With the help of all races allied together, they brought down the Archons. Even though they are immortals, they fall for the trick of the Archonians whom they once protected. But the only thing that still remembers is the last despairing fight of the Archon clan's patriarch. The majestic red hair, which was covered in blood, the red eyes full of sadness, and the sword that pierced and slicing through the bodies of the people he once protected. After the death of the patriarch, by use of some black art, the 8 winners of the battle absorb the magic of archons. That's how the 8 empires rose in Archonia and those who worshipped and joined Archons' side were killed. Women and children were sold as slaves.
"Once all realms were in close contact with each other. But after the fall of Archons and the traitors gain control over Archonia, it becomes almost impossible to contact Archonia until the help of the supreme lord" Alaric explains to Lucio.
"Even his children were dying, the lord couldn't do anything due to the interference of an unknown external force. But he said one thing after the end of Archons, 'when the old sun falls, a new sun arises and it will be the rise of a new era'. Alas, it's been 6000 years" Alaric remains silent as if he is in deep thought. His face was filled with sadness. Lucio looks at his father. He doesn't know what to say.
"Okay, my son. That's all for today. I guess it's time for the ceremony. Come to the banquet hall"
"Ok, Father"
After a long conversation with his father, Lucio walks out of the mansion. He slowly walks and when he is out of the eyes of the guards, he sneaks out of the mansion to buy gifts for his siblings.
Time passed. The event is about to start. The guests arrived one by one. Lucio sneaks in with gifts and gets ready to accept guests. So many young ladies from the different clans arrive with so many gifts for the siblings. It was to impress Lucio.
Alaric picks a glass of wine and taps it with a spoon to draw the attention of the crowd.
"Everybody presents here for the wonderful night. Today is one of my most precious days and also for the Forcalor household. When will a mother and father feel happiness? It is when the buds in their precious garden bloom into lovely flowers. Today I welcome the two flowers of Forcalor. Charlotte Von Forcalor and Carl Von Forcalor"
The sibling slowly walks downstairs and greets the guests. The guest wishes the siblings one by one and offers so many gifts. As the party goes on, Lucio is surrounded by young ladies from all clans. Lucio was in an annoying situation. Suddenly, a lady named Alice Von Vinea from the Vinea clan requests Lucio for a dance. She is a beautiful lady with blond hair dressed in a red frock. Her clan once tried to propose an engagement between the Forcalor and Vinea. However, due to the absence of Lucio, they rejected the proposal.
"Sir Lucio, Will you dance with me" she looks at Lucio with a smile.
Lucio knows what is she trying to pull out. When a lady offers dance if he rejects it in front of the people, it will cause false rumors about him, mainly he has never accepted any marriage proposal from any clan. That has already caused so many false rumors about him, if he rejects her offer it will only cause a misunderstanding, which can affect Lucio's image. So, his only option is to accept. But if he accepts, Lucio, who never accepted any proposal from ladies, accepts a request from the lady Alice. Which can lead to another rumor and can lead to another marriage proposal. But this time they cannot reject it for any clumsy reasons.
Lucio who was in his deadlock, was noticed by his mother.
"My daughter, why don't you ask your brother for a dance" she said.
"Ok Mom" she smiles at her and runs towards her brother.
"Brother, do you accept the dance request of this young lady" she asked him.
Lucio looks at his sister and smiles. "Sorry lady Alice. I already promise my sister to be her dance partner. Also, my siblings are the highlight today"
"Oh, Sir Lucio already has a partner" Alice chuckles while covering her lips with a hand fan.
Lucio and his sister walk towards the middle of the hall and dance. Both of them display a wonderful dance and all the guests applaud.
All of the guests were immersed in the beautiful dance. But Lady Alice was not in a good mood. Although she gave an elegant appearance, she was annoyed by the 2nd rejection from Lucio, because before the Vinea household proposed an engagement. She once proposed to Lucio and he rejected it. So, to avoid the rejection she used her family for a proposal of engagement. But because of the absence of Lucio, the House rejected the proposal. After her birth, due to her beauty, so many male devils proposed to her and she rejected them all. In her mind, she was the most beautiful. But when she was attending the first come-of-age ceremony of the Forcalor household, she noticed the beautiful young devil who gave a cold face. She falls in love at first sight. After the ceremony, she didn't get a chance to express her feelings. After she attends the academy. Due to her luck, she was in the same class as him. She was excited that she knew she would win over him with her charm and beauty. But when she proposed to him, she got a cold rejection. It was a devastating hit for her because the one who has to reject is not a man, it is she who has the right. Because she is beautiful, but men have no right to reject her. This changed her love to an obsession.
After the 2nd rejection from Lucio, Alice became more and more obsessed. Due to her anger, she broke the hand fan.
"Lucio Von Forcalor, let's see how you will reject the engagement proposal this time" she whispers with a wicked smile.
