One day ago, in the Velgravian nation…
Princess Louise and her guards enter the royal city of Velgravia. The horses seem to be tired from this long travel. The royal guards on the main entrance of Velgravia stop their way and stand in formation like they are about to arrest Princess Louise.
The guard holds rifles and a spear in his hands, pointing at Princess Louise, while all of the guards on Princess Louise's side look shocked and take out their weapons.
One of the princess's guards stepped in front of the group and spoke up to ask, "What's the meaning of this? Do you know who you're pointing at?"
The guards at the main entrance didn't reply and still stood in the formation and position they were in. Then, after 3 to 4 seconds, a voice came from behind the guards at the entrance: "You finally arrive. Sister."
The royal guards take aside and make way for that figure to walk in front of the guards. The General Commander of the Royal Guards, who seemed to be 19 years old, came in front of Princess Louise. His silver hair fell, covering his brown eyes a little bit.
His lightweight and golden-colored armor shines as sunlight falls on it. He stood in front of Louise's horse while holding both his hands behind him.
The guard who came in front of Louise's side was shocked. "Prince Jonathan… What are you doing? She is Princess Louise, your older sister. Why are the guards pointing weapons at—"
"Shut up." Prince Jonathan didn't let that guard complete his words: "Now, a mere guard will tell me what to do?"
Princess Louise moved on her white horse and put her hand on that guard's shoulder. "Back off, I'll handle it. You all should go; it's my family matter, not yours to worry about."
That guard didn't reply and backed off. Before anyone could speak or react, Prince Jonathan spoke up, "Take Princess Louise's guard in and put them in prison."
Princess Louise was shocked a little and got off her horse. She stands in front of Prince Jonathan. "They aren't involved, nor am I in the crime. I don't even know about."
Prince Jonathan moved his hand and raised it; as he did, Princess Louise's guards raised their weapons and pointed them at Princess Louise and at the guard who tried to speak to Prince Jonathan.
Princess Louise turned toward that guard and stared into his eyes while putting her hand on his horse. "Hey, don't worry. I'll take you out of prison. Just wait for me. And… thanks for such loyalty."
That guard seemed to be nervous, but as he heard the princess's words, he nodded and felt relaxed. Then the guards take him in and take him to the prison.
Princess Louise turned toward her brother and looked into his eyes. "What crime… did I commit this time, General Jonathan?" She seems serious and emotionless. While her brother seems to be enjoying the scene.
Jonathan raised his hand and whispered with a smirk, "Princess Louise Griffith, on behalf of King Augustus Griffith, I'm here to capture you for the blame of killing Prince Edward Griffith."
As soon as Princess Louise heard Prince Edward's name, her eyes widened and her heart started beating faster and faster. Her skin color turned pale yellow because of panic and stress. Her expression on her face became clearly sad and guilty.
Is that what Henry was warning me about… But he didn't mention Edward, did he? Thoughts rush into her mind as guards close in on the princess and point their weapons at her.
Prince Jonathan smiled and held Princess Louise by her arm, pulling it toward himself a little too tightly. "Why, breath stuck? Thoughts popping up? How did you get stuck in this situation? It's a lie because you can't kill your beloved younger brother."
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the guards, then he pointed at a guard. "You, go get cuffs for this royal criminal." That guard hurried and took out cuffs from the horse standing near him and handed them over to Prince Jonathan.
He holds the cuffs and then holds Princess's hand with his left hand. Princess Louise seems stressed and is resisting wearing those cuffs. She frees her hands and is ready to use her power to attack her brother, but then a voice as a memory pops up in her mind.
My beloved daughter, always use your intellect over your emotions. Staying calm in every situation will ensure your success.
As this memory voice passed through her mind, she raised her hands, "Mother…" Then she turned her eyes toward her brother. "Go on, put me in cuffs; there's already no difference between a criminal and a royal."
She leaned in close to her brother and lowered both her hands, then she put them in front of Jonathan so he could put cuffs on her hands. Jonathan, without hesitation, while smiling, put handcuffs on her hand and then turned toward the guards.
"Take her to prison, and put her in the same prison as her loyal guard." As commanded, guards hurried and captured her, then they took her toward the Velgravia Palace from the main entrance of the city.
Princess Louise seems calm and serious while guards are taking her to the prison. She narrowed her eyes around the city, and her eyes followed the people who were staring at the guards and her on the way.
The city was filled with noise as people saw Princess Louise in cuffs and being taken to prison by royal guards. As she was walking, she heard people's voices who were talking about the royal family and Princess Louise.
"A royal is in cuffs. King Augustus is onto something again."
"Isn't she the daughter of Queen Victoria?"
"Yeah, I remember; five years ago, the same happened to her younger brother, Prince Elbert."
"What kind of justice is this? First, they executed a young boy, and now they want to kill the oldest daughter of Victoria."
"May, Maiden of Gods, protect her."
The city was full of shocked people as they saw the situation, and just like that, royal guards reached the Velgravia's Palace and then took Princess Louise to the prison side of the palace.
Far from the palace on the roof of the cathedral near the entrance of the royal city of Velgravia, Takeda Waguri sits while putting her left hand on the roof and staring at the city.
She narrows her eyes around the city and then moves the fingers of her left hand, which causes a space to open in the air. Then she looked in that space. "You can wake up, Edward. The play has already begun."
As she spoke, suddenly a hand came out of that space, and after some time of silence, an awkward sound came out from that space. "It wasn't that hard to hold my breath because your dream is super interesting, Hyacinth."
Then, after this, Edward came out of that space while his blue eyes narrowed around the city to examine the situation and the blood drops on her blonde hair. He cleans his clothes from the dust and looks at Takeda Waguri.
She stares into his eyes and then, with an awkward smirk, says, "Hey, stop calling me Hyacinth; I'm at this moment Waguri the witch, ok? She awkwardly said while standing, "I'm not in my original form of Hyacinth. So just call me Waguri or Takeda… Anything but not Hyacinth."
Edward nodded with a smile and then looked at the market area of the city. "Hey, now what's the next part, like where will I live from now on? Because I'm already dead for this plan."
Waguri came near to him and put her hand on his shoulder. "To Hyacinth, land of witches and wizards. Boy, be ready; you will see the true beauty of this world." She stands beside him while staring at the people of the city. "Hold on to your art supplies; you will enjoy drawing those beautiful landscapes."
She moved her hand in the air, and a space again opened in the air. She didn't speak, nor did she react; she just entered the space. Edward followed behind her.
As they both enter the space, that space vanishes in the air.
In Hyacinth, land of Witches and Wizards…
In a green field of grass and flowers, space opens in the air. Waguri and Hyacinth step outside of that space, and then after that, it vanishes into the air.
Edward's eyes widened open as he saw the beautiful field of flowers and greenery under a blue sky that had some white clouds. He stepped forward to fully examine and enjoy the beautiful landscape.
He spread his arms around him and started touching the field of flowers with his fingertips. "This is heaven; I'd like to draw this in my art book. And then gift it to my sister."
Waguri smiled as she kept staring at Edward. She didn't bother him and let him enjoy the scene. She then, after a short time, moved to her back and closed her eyes. "Yanyue… Yanyue… Can you hear me…?"
Suddenly, a voice came in her voice.
Yes, I can… And now, would you mind telling me where the hell you are, Wguri?
She smiled the moment she heard the voice in her mind, "I'm at a field of flowers on the northern side of the city. Come here, I have work for you."
The voice in her mind replied with awkwardness in its voice.
Now what…? Ok, on my way.
And then that voice disappeared. Waguri turned toward Edward and found out he had already started drawing in his art book. She didn't try to bother him but instead leaned in close to see what he was drawing.
