Athalinda Mira Isvaltoré, the daughter of the Grand Duke Alfred- the most trusted man of the King died along with all of the people of his estate.

Only Mira and Elias, her half sickly brother survived.

The person or group responsible for the Grand Duke's death is still not known. So the people pitied Mira, the flower of society and Elias.

Yet they didn't know that Mira, who is known for her beauty and dubbed as the "Moon Goddess", is the one who ordered for them to be killed because they don't know under the shadows Athalinda Mira Isvaltoré is raising a high scale rebellion.

The day before the famous murder of the ducal house happened, Mira went to the capital to do some "shopping" but what really happened is that Mira went to the capital of the Aiphilian Kingdom to order her subordinates to be ready anytime.

When she was walking in broad daylight, the heard a noble punishing a beautiful slave so she saved the slave and punished the noble. So when the slave said, "You saved me even I am nothing but a mere slave."

Mira offered her to join her if she wanted to be free. The beautiful slave, who saw Mira's eyes that were filled with a burning passion, agreed and came to the ducal house with Mira and later on received a name from Mira. "𝑬𝒍𝒊𝒓𝒂."

Soon when they were inside Mira's room, she told Elira not to come out of the room that she has given to her unless Mira has called for her. Elira nodded but wondered so when she was about to go out she saw a figure of a man behind Mira bit thought her eyes were just playing tricks on her and left.

The next day, Elira screamed as she saw a bloodbath in front of her room.

When the people heard of what happened, they were terrified so the news spread across the kingdom quickly. So when the 𝑪𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑽𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒓

𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑨𝒊𝒑𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒅𝒐𝒎 heard, he ordered an investigation immediately and also did a private investigation with his spy 𝑳𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅.

So later on when Mira woke up, Elira hugged her and was filled with tears. Mira laughed a bit at Elira's reaction and asked how long she was unconscious and Elira said she was unconscious for two days.

Then when Elira thanked that there was also another survivor, Mira demanded to know who and found put it was her half sickly brother 𝑬𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒔.

So Mira asked if it was really true and Elira nodded while a voice interrupted them saying not to doubt Elira and that voice belonged to the best spy and assassin known, 𝑳𝒆𝒐, who later was also found out that he was Elira's cousin.

Later into the conversation, Mira ordered Leo to summon the other founding members of the rebellion known as the ＳＷ♢ＲＤＳ.

When they were talking, 𝑹𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒅, their head in spreading information told them the latest issue of the newspaper telling that Elias will become the new Duke and Prime Minister ordered by the King.

Mira though annoying thought of a solution and the solution is to disguise as a boy since no one really knows what Elias looks like because he was hidden by the Duke.

The members of the swords wanted to protests but Mira was stubborn. So later the meeting ended as Mira told one of the founding members to stay named Sebastian.

None of the founding members really don't know him except for Mira, who knows that he is the fourth most trusted man of their real opponent- The Empire.

𝑺𝒆𝒃𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒏 wanted to help the rebellion because he thought the Empire's method was unjust and mainly because of his third wife which he considers as his only wife.

When Mira and Sebastian sat down to talked Sebastian suggested that something might happen in one of the King's ball and told her to establish herself as Duke Elias there. Mira thought it was a good idea and agreed.

The next day after Sebastian left telling Mira he will come back in one or a few months, Mira asked Elira, who knows how to put on make-up.

Elira told her one of the few new servants knows how to and she is master at it because after the meeting Mira has been busy with the pile of paperwork with the SWORDS and adding trying to manage the Duke's work.

Then after Mira said they will sneak out of the capital to get men's clothes though confused Elira agreed.

They met up with Ronald with the whole building reserved for them so after they picked out the clothes Elira bribed the new servant to help and she agreed.

Later after putting on make-up, Everyone was shocked by how handsome Elias (Mira) looked.

So when Elias (Mira) came to the ball, people surrounded him but later on he (she) felt a strong killing intent directed towards her.

Elias (Mira) tried to find where that killing intent was coming from but no luck. So what happened is that Elias (Mira) bumped into a man who offered to help him (her) but Elias (Mira) declined.

Later behind the shadows the man, who bumped into Elias (Mira), ordered his subordinate to investigate Elias (Mira).

Then when the man came back to the ball, he saw the king summoned Elias (Mira) and saw the burning passion in her eyes but then suddenly someone felt a tap on his shoulder and saw a note saying that they found information on Elias (Mira).

Later on, that man was actually no other than the black general 𝑪𝒍𝒂𝒖𝒅𝒆, who's named was feared across the land also the son of the Emperor.

Then the next day, a letter from the palace was sent. Mira opened it and it was a letter sent by the Crown Prince himself telling "Duke Elias" to come and have tea with him maybe also inviting his sister "Mira". Mira, who is annoyed because she knew she couldn't decline the letter even though she wanted to rest for a bit because she had a terrible headache.

Mira then tells Elira later on, she won't go their empty-handed and so she bought sweets in a bakery where Duke Elias (Mira) struggled what to pick until a noble lady came and helped him (her) out.

Elias (Mira) thanked her and left to go to the castle.

Elias (Mira) came to the palace greeted by the Crown Prince's personal butler named Charles and followed him to the garden.

When Charles left, Elias (Mira) waited for the Crown Prince as his (her) headache became worse. After a few minutes passed, Elias (Mira) stood up and walked around the garden feeling impressed. Then he (she) saw a beautiful flower that had a fire like petals and tips like icicles. Elias (Mira) was about to touch it until a voice called him (her).

It was the Crown Prince that called him (her), who has a sharp jawline and beautiful black hair and blue eyes and his birthmark on his neck- a Phoenix.

Later when they sat down, The Crown Prince told him he was concerned because how " sickly" he (she) was but Elias (Mira) he is fine already as the conversation continued on the Crown Prince thought he could bait Elias (Mira) to embarrass him (her).

But Mira knew that because she was thinking:

'𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘧𝘰𝘦. 𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘹-𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘋𝘶𝘬𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴, 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵...' 𝘔𝘪𝘳𝘢 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦. '𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺. 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶...'

Then, in the end, the Crown Prince told her he will implement a new law saying:

"𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘶𝘹𝘶𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘱𝘵 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘴 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘋𝘶𝘬𝘦 𝘌𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘴?"

But Elias (Mira) thought it would be better of they could instead that the nobles would abuse it and thought that they should also target the nobles and merchants from other countries because the terrorist's real goal might be just to implement fear. So Elias (Mira) suggested to the Crown Prince how about making a fee so they could track who enters and exits the Aiphilian Kingdom.

The Crown Prince thought it was a really good idea but before they could talk more the king summoned Elias (Mira) to his quarters.

When Elias (Mira) was summoned inside, the drunk king made one of his p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.es to go to Elias (Mira) but Elias (Mira) pushed the p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e. It kept on happening again so Elias (Mira) said:

"𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴...𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘵! 𝘚𝘰 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘦...

The King smirked and came to Elias (Mira) as when he (she) was about to leave and told that he (she) will be going to the south of the Aiphilian kingdom to inspect it and report to him first and then the crown prince with that the drunk king vomited on Elias (Mira) and then suddenly a dozen of servants came in to clean up.

Later Elias (Mira) when going back bumped into a man again and it was the very same man he (she) bumped during the ball with beautiful black eyes and black hair.

The man introduced himself as 𝑵𝒐𝒂𝒉 𝑳𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒕, a small merchant of the Empire even though his real name is Claude, the black general of the Empire.

Then as Noah Levihant joked around until Elias (Mira) got annoyed later on told him that he (she) should go. Elias (Mira) was about to leave until he (she) noticed a stain of vomit when he (she) bumped into Noah so invited him to say sorry because the king will unavailable.

When they arrived, Mira g.r.o.a.n.e.d because of her headache as she entered her room but then she realized that she went into the wrong room and sneaked into Elias's room followed by Elira as Elira asked her if she wants to eat but Mira declined.

When Elira left, There was a knock and it was Noah. Mira g.r.o.a.n.e.d as she felt her headache even more than ever yet Mira smiled and gave the famous Duke Elias smile.

Elias (Mira), who came out of the room, asked Noah for tea and asked him why he is in the Kingdom as Noah told a noble lady wanted to do some business so he stayed in her house for a while then joked that he might not want to him to leave. Elias (Mira) who's head started aching so much that he (she) couldn't handle it and pushed Noah against the wall that made him nervous and ran, leaving Mira as she started to slowly losing consciousness until Elira saw her and screamed for help as she fainted.

Then Mira had a dream of the long distant past when she was kidnapped by an old noble and left in the woods in the middle of the night to feed her to the wolves. When young Mira cried as a wolf almost ate her, a man helped her but it was the same man who kidnapped her and they later went into a small house in the middle of the woods. The young Mira, who saw a candlelit up started crying as memories of screaming people started flooding in her mind especially her dead mother. The man felt pained and told the young Mira he was sorry because he had no choice and his father once saved him and he wanted to repay a favor so he needed the young Mira's help.

The young Mira agreed to help so she could save her father and asked what is his name and the man replied his name was "𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏."

Later Mira woke up from her dream, crying a bit. Then she noticed she still in her Duke Elias costume and then a maid noticed Elias (Mira) was awake called for help.

Then later Elira came inside and scolded Mira telling her to rest and not work because she always overworks herself and gets very little sleep. Mira smiled at Elira and agreed and later was visited by one of the founding members of the SWORDS named 𝑨𝒍𝒆𝒙𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓, who was a doctor even though he looked more a knight. So Mira told him she was going to the south of the Aiphilian Kingdom and Alexander said that she can just pretend to have chickenpox even she was not there as a distraction and Mira thought it was a good idea. Then Mira asked Alexander to summon everyone again for a meeting.

When Alexander left, Mira back to sleep dreaming again about the long distant past.

The young Mira came with Matthan as he carried her as he explained the plan that she will be a distraction so they could stop the carriage in the middle of the road as they attack it. Then Matthan stopped and told his men to go down the trees and they all talked to the young Mira as they said it is really their master's child because she looked like the girl version of him. Then a man said "What's your name?" Then the young Mira answered "Atha."

But then a man said the carriage is there and they all hid. The young Mira hid behind a tree as fear grew within her as last one-man screamed it was a trap and suddenly dozen of arrows came towards them as the young Mira saw people dying around her one by one as she also remembered the screams of the people before.

The young Mira started crying and as an arrow came towards her someone block the arrow as the man got injured himself. The young Mira saw it was the same man who asked for her name and cried asking why. The man said because he wanted to protect an angel and later saying his name is "𝑱𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒔" then died.

As soon as James died, the young Mira turned around and saw her worse nightmare yet again a bloodbath that covered every land.

Meanwhile, after Mira fainted Claude came in his room, shocked by what happened. A few minutes later his assistant 𝑪𝒂𝒏𝒆 came in and reported to him that he might need to come back because there is a small war going to happening and Claude sighed. When his assistant Cane left, Claude just kept on agonizing about Elias (Mira) for a while but then he looked at the window as he gave a dark chuckled and said:

"𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘋𝘶𝘬𝘦 𝘌𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘴. 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘨𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘐 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘯... 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘦.".

Later that night, Mira and the other founding members talked about Mira going to the south of the Aiphilian Kingdom for a while because 𝑲𝒚𝒍𝒆, a man with rectangular glasses asked Mira. Later Mira asked Ronald if they are ready with the decoy and Ronald said yes but they are waiting for the 𝑬𝒎𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒆'𝒔 𝑽𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕 𝑮𝒊𝒍𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒕 to reply, who also has a second identity as " 𝑯𝒖𝒈𝒐 𝑨𝒔𝒉𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉", the inventor of the century.

Later during the conversation 𝑪𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒂, who is also one of the founding members, her assistant

𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒔 threatened Mira. Mira got mad and told him not to appear before her later on.

Then they continued the conversation like nothing happened after Alexander calmed Mira downed, Mira told them that she is planning Hugo Ashworth to join the SWORDS because he invented a weapon called the "𝔾𝕦𝕟."

Three days later when it was late evening, Mira got a letter from the palace that angered her so much that she went to the palace in her Duke Elias costume and demanded to retract it as the king just laugh and told Elias (Mira) that he will give a letter in the morning telling to go to the meeting because it talked about Mira's marriage.

Mira came in the estate angry and Elira scolded her to get a hold of herself as Mira said to get Leo. When Leo arrived, he was shocked by the state of Mira's room as Mira laughed crazily for a while telling him that he will disguise as "Duke Elias".

The next day, Mira was dressed by her old make-up artist 𝑴𝒊𝒔𝒔 𝑼𝒎𝒂 and Leo with the girl who makes Mira as Duke Elias- 𝑫𝒂𝒑𝒉𝒏𝒆.

After that, as Mira planned they came late and the king announced that Mira's engagement indirectly as she could choose one of the men of the four marquis houses. Then later the king also announced that he knows the who murdered the dual house saying:

"𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘩𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴!"

Later the king said that Mira could have anything she wants except for his kingdom and the Crown Prince position and his. Mira then requested that could she have the position of the head of slave transportation but the Crown Prince intervened and said that it can't happen and Mira just request as the assistant instead. So after that, the king invited her so she could pick from the portraits and she chose the infamous 𝑹𝒖𝒅𝒚 𝑲𝒉𝒂𝒎𝒕𝒊 𝑻𝒐𝒖𝒌𝒂𝒏, the abandoned son of the second Marquis.

So later Mira prepared for an engagement party, so when Rudy came and told Mira not to marry him. Then Mira revealed her true nature telling him that she knows everything saying :

"𝘔𝘳. 𝘙𝘶𝘥𝘺 𝘛𝘰𝘶𝘬𝘢𝘯, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭.

Later she made Rudy Toukan a double agent for the SWORDS to gain more information about the

𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒔. So during the party after greeting some nobles Rudy excused himself to go the facilities. Mira waited and then she got annoyed how long she was taking and tried to get Rudy but bumped into a man who told her to the abandoned west garden.

When Mira went to the abandoned west garden of the estate Noah Levihant or rather Claude introduced himself as the Magician, the mysterious healer that the Emperor wants to find that could heal any person.

Mira didn't believe Claude and asked if he was an impostor and Claude just ignored her question as Mira thought there might be a spy in the organization. Then Mira said she wasted her time and turned to leave until Claude said that she had recent headaches and muscle pains and Claude said that she was finally listening and requested to kill the Empire's health minister as Mira asked why she should help him.

Then Claude said he knows that she tried to kill Elias and Mira panicked a bit and thought of an idea and swallowed her pride as she approached Claude.

She came near Claude and whispered in his ear that what is he going to do about it as Claude replied that he will keep the secret of if only she kills the health minister also saying he will also help her in making preparations for the war she is waging against the west kingdom.

Mira smirked and thought possibilities:

So Mira said seductively to Claude to go to her quarters tonight yet Claude felt a presence from afar and started to go and Mira then yelled:

"𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘵𝘰𝘱-𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯! "

Claude turned back and smiled and left.

So later that night Claude, who agreed to come, came saying that before anything else someone must do a palm reading on her as Mira rolled her eyes in disbelief. Then Mira felt another presence and later found out Claude brought a small little girl with him and said Mira's unknown first name: Athanlinda.

Then the little girl with multiple voices said: "𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺, 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴... 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙂𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚."

Suddenly unbearable pain came to Mira as the multiple voices said to go to the southwest of the Aiphilian kingdom again and again. The little girl fainted as Mira fell down in pain. Claude came to Mira to help her up but fainted alongside her.

In the morning, Mira woke up with great pain and saw Claude, who was beside her and pushed him away from her. Mira came in front of the mirror and removed her dress and gasped as she saw a golden dragon around her body.

Suddenly Mira heard Elira knock and distracted Elira and then when Elira left she put on her dress and dragged Claude and the little girl as she opened her golden portrait of the continent as she also put them inside a black and darkroom.

After that Mira went out seeing Leo as Leo reported an intruder came in the base, Mira became so angry she said that she will make the training harsher and security more strict. Then Mira tied her hair and told Leo to guard her room.

Mira then went into the estate's library and went into the deepest and darkest part, removing her dress and moving a bookshelf and a painting in the process to reveal a hole, where Mira could fit in.

When Mira reached the other side, one of her female subordinates came to report saying they found no information on him and gave Mira clothes. Mira then met Kyle asking what is the intruder's attitude and Kyle said the intruder will only talk to her.

Mira nodded and when Mira saw the intruder she knew it was a noble immediately. Then when she removed the intruder's hood she saw it was the Crown Prince Valor of the Aiphilian Kingdom.

Meanwhile, Claude dreamt of a little girl crying in the middle of nowhere and wondered why the little girl looked so familiar and thought it might be Mira yet still dismissed that thought.

Then he saw the little girl's hair turned white under the moonlight as his eyes widen.

Claude then watched as he saw a mark appeared on the little girl's arm and saw the little girl scream in pain because the girl was so much in pain he saw the little girl removes her shirt showing a golden dragon around her body as Claude thought: 𝘕𝘰 𝘞𝘢𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵...

Claude then saw the girl have an asthma attack and Claude tried to help her but it was no use because he could only go through her. The little girl started to disappear right in front of him and Claude didn't notice he too started to disappear.

Then later landed Claude on the hard, cold floor, hearing a cold voice talk as Claude saw the little girl's hair color and mark disappear. Then Claude heard a scream of a man:
