As usual, Flay was sitting inside a cluster of flowers in the indoor garden. Sitting in the center of those flowers, the flowers that had already finished blooming seemed to actually show signs of blooming again.
The reason for that was due to a rune inscribed onto her body.
Flay was an elf. She came from the southern border of Farucci, the Endless Forest. As the power of the elves from that forest originated from a pitch-black ancient tree in the center of the forest, they were known as the Blackwood Elves.
The owner of this mansion, the Grand Duke of Farucci, was descended from the Grand Duke family that had befriended the Blackwood Elves for generations. Because of that, Flay, the most outstanding guard from the Blackwood Elves, has been accompanying and guarding the Grand Duke's only daughter.
