After I took Farah to the Wisd's house, I go to the knight order under Yua. Recently, many strange things started happening, I have ordered the knight to investigate it. People in the city start feeling weaker recently and there are many cases of people found dead in a very strange state. Those dead bodies look like some kind of mummy as if the energy force is taken out of them. I asked the vice-captain of the camp:
-Have you found anything yet? (Aya)
The vice-captain kneels and answers:
-There is no clue, my princess. (Vice-Captain)
The vice-captain continues:
-I think we shouldn't pay attention to this problem. There are only a few slum people and commoners die. (Vice-Captain)
I glare at the vice-captain:
-So you tell me my decision is wrong? (Aya)
The vice-captain tries denying it:
-No, princess, I only want our knight to spend our effort on other important matters. (Vice-Captain)
I take out the gun and points at his head:
-If you dare to speak one more sentence then your head will be gone, vice-captain(Aya)
-....(Vice-Captain)
I gradually place the gun back in my pocket:
-Don't question my decision, Keep following my order. If I find you go against my order, your head won't be on your shoulder anymore. (Aya)
The vice-captain replies:
-Your order is my command, my princess. (Vice-Captain)
-That's splendid. (Aya)
I leave the knight's camp and start investigating on my own.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-That's little shit. (Vice-Captain)
A group of 20 knights is marching toward the slums area of the Elisora.
-Calm down vice-captain; we all know that princess is like that. (Soldier A)
-Sigh, that low-life even dare to threaten my life. It's just a few slum's people dead. (Vice-Captain)
Another soldier replies:
-I don't know why she orders us to investigate these cases. She should stand still and become a tool of a political marriage.
-Ahhaa, that's right. (Soldier A)
-The only person fit to be the ruler of this country is Princess Sora. (Vice-Captain)
-Ahha, right. (Soldier B)
A scout's knight comes back and makes a report:
-I found a big hole leading to the underground of the slum. (Soldier C)
The vice-captain surprise at the report:
-What? Lead me to that place. (Vice-Captain)
The scout leads the group to a house. Inside the house, a hole connects to the underground. The vice-captain commands.
-Let's have a look at it. Prepare the torch. (Vice-Captain)
-Roger that! (Soldiers)
The whole group marched down to the underground through the hole. They arrived at a very spacious space.
-... What is this place? The column that holds this place seems to be made with some kind of crystal. (Soldier A)
-The place is too spacious. I can't see the ceiling of this place.
-I guess this place must big as the capital. (Soldier B)
The vice-captain directly denies it:
-No way, if there is a place like this underground. Royalty and other knights must know about it. (Vice-Captain)
-... Then we are the first ones to discover this place. (Soldier D)
-Seem so... (Soldier E)
-I think this place was built a long time ago. Look at this! (Soldier C)
The scout points to the symbol on the column.
-No way that is...(Soldier A)
-Symbol of our country Ecrax. (Soldier B)
-How can this... (Soldier D)
Not waiting for the vice-captain to finish the sentence, a blue energy wave starts spreading. When the energy touches the knight, they feel like their strength is being taken.
-Move! Move! (Vice-Captain)
However, many energy waves keep coming and leave them no opportunity to respond to it.
-Not good...(Vice-Captain)
The knights start to drop all of their weapons, they don't have any strength to hold them anymore.
-My amour is so heavy. (Soldier C)
-Help! (Soldier B)
They slowly become some kind of mummy, and they now look like the victim is mentioned in Aya's cases. After a while, their body gradually turns into a bunch of blue crystal.
A familiar shadow slowly comes near the crystal. It's the knight captain, Yua.
-Oh, a surprising harvest. (Yua)
From the pocket, she takes out a deep blue crystal and put near those blue crystal. The deep blue crystal start absorbs other crystals.
-Finally, it's full. (Yua)
The crystal started to shine and transform into a knife.
-Only two more. (Yua)
Yua starts walking toward the center of this underground basement.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day At the palace of Ecrax.
I am holding the report I received from my sister.
-You tell me, those knights under Yua just disappear without any reason? (Sora)
-...(Aya)
-If you want to investigate something, ask the guard, not the knight. (Sora)
-But I think this case will become a serious danger to our citizens. (Aya)
-Do you think it more serious than the loss of knights? (Sora)
-Sora, you must believe me. (Aya)
I coldly glare at my sister.
-You tell me to believe with this little evidence. The victim is merely from people from the slum and commoners. (Sora)
Aya shouts at me:
-So you think that people come from slum is not our citizen? You should know I come from the slum too. (Aya)
-Aya I don't mean that way...(Sora)
-Shut up, you stupid sister. (Aya)
She instantly runs out of the palace. I ordered a knight under me:
-Investigate this case for me. (Sora)
-Your order is my command, my princess. (Knight)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the night, when Farah is sleeping. Avaritia slowly comes out of the shadow and goes out of Wisd's house without emitting any sound. Avaritia takes a crystal from the void.
-What do you want, Yua? I am currently protecting my princess. (Avaritia)
-The second knife is already completed. (Yua)
-Hoh? (Avaritia)
Avaritia smile when Yua mention the completion of the knife:
-You called me, so you want me to hunt down "the body" right? (Avaritia)
-You are correct. (Yua)
-Why don't you get "wisdom" first, you know it's much easier right? (Avaritia)
-Since "the Mind" act alone we can easily deal with her. However, If we try catching "the wisdom" now, it will likely create a chance for "the body" to escape. (Yua)
Avaritia scratches her head:
-You are right. So when will we start? (Avaritia)
-My spy in the church informed me that she will come to the hole in the slum to investigate. It's a perfect chance for you to ambush her. (Yua)
-At long last, I have a chance to fight. Therefore, what is she looking like? You know you human looks the same to me. I can only notice the difference between Farah and master. (Avaritia)
-A girl with golden hair. You can feel some divine aura from her too. She is also this generation's saint, Himari. (Yua)
-Hoh, I will deal with her. (Avaritia)
Avaritia gradually disappears into the void.
