Luke was taken home to the palace, but he made sure that he had gone to the knights’ section at the palace to be found as the prince. Once the man who escorted him back had left, he was able to feel a little more relaxed. Removing his cloak once he reached his room, he sighed letting his dark maroon hair and indigo eyes be visible. 'That woman... Who is she?' He thought knowing now that her name was Mila. 'I sensed some familiarity with her. Yet, at the same time, it's different like it's not her.' He thought about letting his forearm lay onto his eyes. ‘Did I finally find you?’ He questioned in his head, not knowing if he had finally found the one person that he was looking for.

"Luke? Luke? Are you alright? Your teacher says that you rushed your lesson and left right after." Luce was knocking on his bedroom door, worriedly concerned for her only child.

Luke sighed seeing how his 'mother' was worried about him. "I'm fine. I'm going to sleep." Luke turned away from the door laying on his bed. 'Annoying people...' He thought letting sleep take over.

Mila had made it to the tavern which was surprisingly filled with the right amount of rooms for her people to all stay in. She stood on the balcony connected to her room being sure that she was still in disguise with her different hair color and eyes. Looking down, the Mireraweth kingdom was too different compared to the Zameth kingdom. ‘This kingdom is too different. I truly do miss the Zameth Kingdom.’ Heading back inside, she needed to rest for the time being since she felt rather restless.

Waking up the next morning, her things were already prepared with her knights ready to discuss the current matter. "What is the current report here?" Mila needed to know what was happening currently in the Mireraweth kingdom. "The three towns are far away from Mireraweth palace, so they remain safe and secured while the main town in Mireraweth palace is more dangerous even though it looks lively and busy." Hearing the report from one person, they had been keeping an eye on how the other towns were managing.

"The orphanage has been rather strange in this part of the Mireraweth Kingdom. The other orphanage was better kept an eye on while this one is a struggle. Children have never been reported missing and if they were gone then most would assume they were just adopted by families without any paperwork filled out." Euclid had the more current and bigger report telling Mila who couldn't help but feel the anger build up again inside her. "Including, we've also found that children are going missing constantly here more than any other location."

"They are asking for it." Mila held onto the cup in her hand which soon cracked just slightly in her palm. "We're setting out tonight! We will not let this slide now that we are all no longer citizens of the Mireraweth kingdom! Will you all join me? The Messenger of Beasts'?!" Mila was excited seeing that they were shocked to hear her say such a title. "You all don't know the identity of the leader, but I am her." She smirked seeing their shocked faces revealing her secret identity.

"The lady is quite amazing."

"To think she had been this clever and strong."

"No wonder we have such loyalty towards her."

Mila couldn't help but smile to see that they weren't going to go against her. "We're heading out tonight!"

The night rolled along, Mila had cast the spell giving all of her knights about the same disguises. Their masks all varied with their cloaks with Mila still the same mask and cloak beside her height that was a much more grown woman. ‘This has truly been a big change.’ Mila loved how more and more people were coming together to fight for those in need. "Blizzard..." Blizzard came out lowering his head to meet Mila.

[You called me?] Blizzard felt her hand lightly pet his head, loving the warmth that it gave off.

"I think your help is needed here." Mila smiled with Blizzard smiling inside with joy that he could be of help. 'They're not called Moonlight Bats for no reason.' Mila smiled with Blizzard's comrades all hearing his command through his roar. The moon's light was slowly being hidden away, many were asleep by this time but the night had grown darker with the wind pushing harder. Mila smiled with her comrades cast with another spell. "Make every second count."

"The night seems darker than usual," Iris said, looking outside with the town dark with no single light to allow anyone to see anything. Iris had wanted them all to join together to eat for once. Eating at the table were Perry, Duke Garrick, and Ambrose [ZH].

"Dark???" Perry looked at the window to see how dark it was. "Wow! It's never been this dark to the point of seeing nothing." Perry had never noticed until Iris mentioned it at that moment.

“There’s always been a shed of light to help, but there doesn’t seem to be any tonight. I would always stare at the night to see the moon while Perry is busy with his duties.” Iris had never witnessed such a scene before which it was just too suspicious to ignore.

“I’m sorry that I haven’t been able to see you. I’m sorry. This husband will surely make up for it!” Perry hugged Iris who sighed, knowing that he would start blaming himself once more about not being by her side.

“Calm down, it’s not your fault. You have your duties.” Iris was not going to start blaming him since he was a husband with a growing family.

Duke Garrick and Ambrose looked to another with a sharp look along with the same thought in their heads. ‘Something is going on tonight.’ Ambrose stood up looking out, no one could see it if they didn't look close enough. He saw figures all-around running and hopping from building to building. Ambrose immediately left the dining room, going out he knew something was wrong and happening.

“Ambrose, where are you going???” Iris did not know what was going on at this point.

Jumping from the balcony, he spoke out lightly to call upon his comrade. "Merry..." Appearing out was his Psychic Crystal Mayfly being the only small source of light for them to see around them in the night. Landing onto her, he knew that the current night likely involved Mila. 'What are you thinking?'

Making it to each orphanage, Mila smiled seeing how she had her group split up to each orphanage. 'The emperor wouldn't care about what happened to the children in the orphanage. It's about time that I have the children live better lives than to be used as vessels.' Mila had her knights split up with a few of the Moonlight Bats following them in the case for assistance. They all encountered Mana hunters who were targeting the children once more for their selfish desire for power. Children were left crying with their mouths muffled to avoid their cries from being heard by almost anyone. Even though they called for help, no one in the Mireraweth kingdom would go out to help them. Mila had jumped down from Blizzard, aiming her sword down to the mana hunter holding a child in his arms. ‘Are children that easy for you all to take?!’ Mila had her sword swung down with blood dripping off of it. "Take the children! We cannot let them be used anymore!" Mila saw the children all crying and shaking in fear. Looking around, she could see that there was blood in the orphanage which meant that children who refused were likely killed for being so against it.

Carrying a little girl in her arms, her knights had taken the rest as they were very mistreated in the orphanage with no care. Feeling the ground shake, Mila and her knights saw the Moonlight Bats fighting with a beast that had neither a body nor soul.

"Look out!"

The knights all jumped out of the way with Mila doing the same to see that the beast was created to kill them. The Moonlight Bats were fighting an inanimate element following the command of someone who was using a strong mana stone. ‘Not this again!’ Mila hated how mana was used this way, the children around were afraid of their lives. Seeing a beast that was meant to protect them all was nothing more than a monster in front of them. ‘These children will recall this beast. It will have to be something that they must overcome one day in their lives.’ Mila held onto the girl in her arms to make sure that she was not going to be harmed.

"Uuwwaahhhh!!!" The children were crying with Mila holding the little girl close to avoid seeing the bloody battle that was happening.

"Don't turn around to look no matter what," Mila said to the little girl she held. Having only one hand to use her sword, she looked at the beast which charged at her with the urge for blood. Jumping up, the beast roared with its body then dispersing and surrounding her. 'These beasts are under a very strong spell and mana user.' Mila knew that the mana hunters were trying to improve the use of their lifeless beasts to defeat all the elements. They only managed to create a beast that could disperse to avoid being attacked and form its body again to attack at another angle. They did not manage to create another element that could defeat the current known elements that could be used. ‘They will continue to test their luck in the mana stone. We cannot let them continue to do as they please.’ Mila knew that if they continued to test their mana stones, then they would finally achieve their goal of being the next rulers.

Seeing that the beast was a fire element that could appear almost anywhere in sight, she didn't have any water element besides ice. Jumping back, the fire had grabbed her on the ankle as it dragged her back down while burning her skin. Hitting the ground, she grunted feeling how her back was aching with pain from the impact while still holding the girl in her arms. Seeing the fire come towards her, Mila covered the little girl with her body to avoid her from being harmed. Waiting, she panted looking up to see the beast had then dispersed easily like dust. A figure had gotten hold of the mana hunter’s stone, once the stone was destroyed then the beast made of mana would lose its form. Mila panted holding the little girl hugging her while she saw the figure before her. "Ambrose..." She recognized the same mask and cloak. ‘He is still the same.’ Feeling herself in disbelief, she did not think that they would meet in this sort of way.

Going towards her, Mila saw his hand reach for her to help her up. Just when she was about to take his hand, she clenched her jaw feeling pain in her lower belly. "Urghh..." Mila held onto her belly with the little girl still hugging onto her.

“Miss!? Miss?! Are you okay?!” The little girl started to lightly tug onto Mila’s cloak, fearing that the woman was seriously injured by saving her. “Please don’t die! You cannot!!”

Ambrose hurriedly carried Mila looking to see that she was indeed in extreme pain. Her forehead formed beads of sweat while she panted heavily while holding her lower belly. ‘It hurts! This hurts so much!’ Mila could feel tears form in her eyes, she had never experienced such pain like this in her entire life.

"My lady!?" Euclid rushed over and saw her in pain taking the little girl in his arms since Mila gave him a look to take the girl to a safe place first. "Quick! We need a healer!"
