The Academy sustain the Kingdom by providing world renowed individuals who carry on the will of Empire in their hearts.
Moreover, the position of the Eternal Kingdom is not strategically place but a place where blood bath could happen anytime. But due to the four major families, the gift given to the Royal Family, and most of all the talented individuals from Academy, they raise their head protecting the beloved kingdom.
Not until Prince Kaizer was born.
"The Eternal Academy sure are mocking us, the Royal family," with grim face, the Crown Prince sneered and look at the Count Scheneir.
The Count grinned and murmured, "Yes, they are doing what they wanted to do, your majesty," as if adding a fuel to the fire would help, he added some more, "And there are rumors that they wanted to take over the Empire,"
"What impudence," then he called his shadow knight, Costa.
"Monitor what the academy is doing and find out what they are planning," he clasped his hands, looking straightly in the door with the Royal Family's seal, "We will be needing to clean up those trash,"
On the other hand, the Research Department of the Academy is looking for an alternative way to sustain the carriage. A horse can only run for 100 miles with continued break, and it's taking too long visiting the outskirt of the Kingdom.
Laria entered the roon with her usual grim face. Shizuka, who is observing her, finally spoke.
"Is there something bothering you?" she asked because the usual bright face of Laria is nowhere to be seen.
"I think I won't be able to continue studying for a while," she spoke with such sad eyes, "The finances for my education has been cut off by my step mother," she said and closed her fist.
Shizuka angered, and hit the table, "How dare that wench!" Laria suddenly stood up and cover Shizuka's mouth.
"Shhhh!" Laria sneered, "What if someone heard you?!" In the end all that Shizuka can do is to stay silent as if giving up.
"I'll ask my father to sponsor you!" Shizuka snorted, "With your skills, surely it is a waste of talent if you stop," Laria sighed and giggled,
"I would love that, however," she paused and walk towards the magical equipment, "I think of joining the Research Competition of the Academy to get a sponsor," she smiled faintly as stroking the huge magical equipment in front of them.
"Wow! All this time you does not want to join, just because you do not want to stand out too much!" Shizuka cheering her, started singing and such.
A storm is coming, and Laria needs to prepare.

Fierre and Sierra loves taking a stroll in the garden when suddenly, a young unknown animal with white fur was in the ground.
"Sierra, look!" then Fierre pointed at the animal.
"Oh my, so cute!" then Sierra started wallking towards the animal when it suddenly run deep inside the forest.
"Wait!" then they run into the forest. But they keep chasing down the animal that they lost track of the forest.
"Has the forest always been this deep?"
"Is there really such a place in our manor?" they asked in sync , curious, and giggled.
"Awesome!" the two sister looked happily when the animal stopped too, and they were in awe to see such a magical falls, and sparkle everywhere.
"Welcome, Descendants of Fordenn," they were startled by the voice and did not know where it is coming from.
"Who are you?!" Fierre shouted back. They are confident that they are safe because they are just inside the mansion.
"Teehee~ As expected of the young ladies from House Fordenn," the soft voice said, because she knew the young ladies is not afraid, but was thrilled and excited.
"Thank you for the compliment!" they said in sync. A young lady should not shout like that so that was not really a compliment for other noble, but not in who they are talking with. Laria loved them so much that she let them do as they pleases, and even reprimand the tutor who has been harsh to them.
Then they play and swim in the falls, and had fun with the voice that they do not know where coming from.
Young fairies also played with them, and there are fairy dust everywhere.
"It is late now, young ladies, would you mind visiting me again tomorrow?" the voice asked.
"Of course! Good bye!" and the two giggled.
"Goodbye!" suddenly, in the blink of an eye, they are back in the gardens of the manor.
"Lady Fierre, Lady Sierra, where have you been?!" the maid asked, and the butler came running.
"Lady Laria is so mad and is looking for you!" the two just nodded and run to the manor, where their Elder Sister is waiting. Laria's face is grim and scary.

The magical mines of Fordenn Family is busy as usual. Arianne could not help but wander around, and sneaking.
"They said to Sister Laria that we are not producing enough gold, but look at the vast amount!" she sneered. "She needs to know this!" she was going to turn around when suddenly a young man with silver hair and eyes bumped into her.
"Argh!" she shouted but cover her mouth in an instant. But what shocked her is that the young man is around her age and wearing an elegant clothes, but full of dirt and bruises.
"Why do you---" she was cut off when she heard a scream, 30 meters from them.
"Come out, little rabbit!" she almost choked at how the man called the young man. However, her instinct is telling her that is she is seen with him, she could be in danger.
"Help me," the young man murmured, as if in full pain, touches her shoulder. After that, she could see the black aura enveloping his body and knew he was also posioned.
"Ugh, fine!" she hold him and hold the teleportation tool . But before she could activate her magic tool, the man caught up. Arianne was startled and could see the emanating radiant red magic in the body of man. He is fierce, and his magic is strong.
"There you are," she was frozen and scared, as if a rabbit whom caught by the wolf.
Is this her end?
"S-sister!" she could not help but cry, after all, she is just a young lady. But the young man hug her and activated the magic teleportation in an instant and they are gone.
