At six in the morning, the residential areas of the capital gradually awakened to the lingering and steady chimes of bells.
When Yini opened her eyes, the night had just faded outside the window.
Soft sunlight lay over the marble floor, forming neat and tranquil patches of light.
Today is not an ordinary day.
It is the fortieth anniversary of the Republic of Red Tide, and the day she, as a representative of the Academy of Sciences, was invited to Red Tide City to attend the award ceremony.
Yini was born in the Northern Territory, her father was a captain in the Broken Blade Knight Order, who later joined the Red Tide ranks to become one of the first knights to lay down arms and transition into the new system.
This allowed her to enter a complete education system, from basic school, workshop internships, to the preparatory class at the Academy of Sciences, step by step to where she is now.
