Something dark, I am the heir of darkness in the world who came to my world, as the king of darkness, I don't know how dark my power is.
Looking ahead, the view from the top floor of my palace, my kingdom with slightly destroyed, cracked walls, and several soldiers who were resting.
The sky was starting to darken, with the sun almost setting, the sky was orange with yellow clouds.
Stepp... Stepp...
The sound of footsteps approaching, I could feel its strength, a strength that I had never seen or felt, a strength that was different from my colleagues.
Felt power, magic and sword, with an aura stronger than Wein, and magic stronger than Loraine or Tess.
If it wasn't my partner, how could he get to this floor, a floor where he wasn't expected to exist.
I tried to pretend I didn't feel it, still looking forward, while closing my eyes, but I opened them again.
He was now next to me, resting his arms on the barrier, and leaning forward on the barrier, looking ahead.
Brown hair covering her face from the side, Janice Moonstone, she wears silver armor, with a few shiny light blue runes.
He acted like I wasn't there next to him, looking down with a gloomy gaze, I only saw someone who was depressed when I looked at his face.
I wanted to try talking to him, but it would be strange to talk to him, I just met him half an hour ago.
I didn't dare to ask him to talk, I just looked ahead, the beautiful view.
But there was something strange, I saw small black spots flying towards us, getting bigger and bigger physically.
Faster, bigger, I saw the thing flapping its wings, it was a crow, coming towards us quickly.
I was conscious, and trying to avoid the bird attack, I turned to my right, saw Janice who didn't know there would be a bird attack.
I took this too lightly, the bird, which had abnormal speed, almost hit me.
Thud!!! I pulled Janice, my body fell backwards, the floor collided with my back.
I opened my eyes, saw Janice falling on my body, a mysterious aroma coming from her body, her red face showing a strange expression.
"T–Thank you." He tried to stand up, Janice was still on top of me, it was a little difficult for me to breathe.
I sat up from my supine body, the two of us sat very close, with the distance between our faces only about 5 to 8 inches.
Her face was still pink and there were scratches on her cheeks, quite long scratches, they looked like scratches from the crow's beak.
He looked dazed, wanted to stand up but couldn't, that's what his eyes showed when he looked at me, and this is what I felt.
"Okay, come on, get up before anyone sees." I stood up, stretched out my hand in front of his face which still looked embarrassed.
"Thanks again." His hand was in mine, I pulled him to get up, when I pulled him, his face didn't look at me.
He looked embarrassed to look at me, he looked to the right, a view of the sunset with purple clouds around the sky.
"It was so beautiful." A whisper came from him, as he and I leaned back against the barrier above.
I just showed a smile, he looked back at my smiling face, I don't know, but the glimpse my brain sent was that he was smiling too.
The atmosphere became stiff, neither of us tried to lighten the mood, but Janice seemed to want to talk to me.
"You seem restless." I said to suppress his heart that wanted to speak.
"Ah, n– no, it's just–" He answered, Janice turned her face to the opposite side of me.
I looked ahead again, the sun had gone down, only a little light was left shining on my palace.
"Is it polite if I call you by your name? not a title?" Janice said, while leaning her head against the barrier, and her body slightly closer.
"No problem, we're the same age after all, right?" I answered.
"Ah, right, but how old are you? I'm not still a high school student, you know." The answer, he said that as if he thought I was over twenty years old.
"17 years old, but now still 16 years old."
"E– Eehh?" E– E– Sixteen?" He shook his head, then looked at me in disbelief.
"Yes, I will be 17 this year, in two months."
"That means you're four months younger than me."
"How old are you?"
"17 years."
"I see, I'm curious about the school you come from."
"…"
"I come from the Spade and Clover co-ed school." You're from the Spade Kingdom's special School for Nobles, right? even though the school isn't specifically for nobles anymore."
He knows the full name of my school, and also knows that I was at that school, whether old Arthorsi said anything, but I don't know him.
"How do you know?"
"CONFIDENTIAL!!" He answered, while covering my mouth with his index finger which touched my lips.
"Eiji, if the sun sets from the west, instead of rising from the east, is there a balcony facing east?"
"Yes, are you going there?"
"Of course."

Sherry's view:
.
"Wein, have you ever thought that your life was over during that fight?"
I was sitting under a tree, in the garden of my friend's palace, the view was not straight up, even though the sun had just set.
The two of us were in the garden, with purple lights mixed with orange, with very beautiful unique plants.
"I often feel like that, but there is always Eiji who comes to help me."
"He's great huh."
"Sure, I know I can't be a fast swordsman, but he has some skills that I have and he has too."
"I know why many people are attracted to him, I was also helped by him at that time."
A light breeze blew us gently under the tree, and a little lick of light in the sky.
"Does he have a relationship with Loraine? or Tess, or Kylaa and Akylaa?" Wein asked me, looking at me with a sad look.
"I don't know, I think the closest to him is Loraine."
"Ah, that's right, they were already alone from the start, weren't they."

King Duncan Arthorsi's views:
.
A gloomy but beautiful palace, with a hint of runes when seen from the outside, and beauty given from the inside, I don't know of any palace cooler than the palace of life.
Even something that is known to be vile and gloomy can also radiate perfect beauty...
"Jean, judge this palace with your opinion, I want to hear it." I asked my assistant and my only archaeologist.
It's hard to ask Janice about this, she's not my child, just let her do what she wants here, but because I brought her she remains under my command.
"Noble beauty, colorful inside, no, not colorful, but full of cerebral illusions that make it beautiful, I like this, even though it looks terrible from the outside." He answered, while drinking a cup of tea.
"What did that child do, to become the vessel of that vicious King of Darkness?"
"I'm surprised myself, sir, but that's what that power chose, that's the choice of the Darkness."
"You're right, it's impossible for the darkness to just choose the person who passes in front of it."
