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.
