Clover Kingdom | Year 928 of the Continental Calendar (16 years before the current events)

It was just a normal mission.

Patrol the outskirts of Clover, investigate the unusual activities going on there and report back to the Wizard King.

Kaneki Vermillion was sceptical about sending her in the first place. There were other important matters that needed her attention at the moment. Clover had more than enough senior magic knights to handle the task.

But, she was adamant.

She insisted that she should go. The 27th wizard King, Kanek, already suggested Julius Novachrono do the investigation instead. However, she insisted on being the one to handle it.

He was brought out of his musing by a knock on his door. "Come in."

The person walked in, revealing to be Nebra, his younger sister.

"How are you feeling now?"

"I'm all good. My wounds are completely heald." She said. "Still you shouldn't push yourself too hard."

"I know."

"..."

"..."

It's no surprise, the awkward atmosphere that existed between the two siblings. Anyone who knew the Silva family knew that they weren't exactly close with one another.

"Well,... what brings you here, Nebra?" Nozel managed to say, despite the awkwardness he was feeling. Which was mostly his fault it existed in the first place.

"It's about Noelle." Nebra said. The awkward atmosphere slowly vanishing as soon as she spoke.

"What about Noelle? Did something happen?" He asked. "No, it's just-"
