“So it was really you huh?” The figure of the man with silver hair at the end of which was red was leaning against the black tree trunk behind him.

“I'm sorry for not recognizing you in the first place, Mr.”

The other figure in front of him who was wearing a black-silver robe seemed to bow respectfully.

“No problem .. You are indeed forgetful.”

The figure with the black-silver robe only laughed awkwardly. The quiet surrounding atmosphere made the sound of breathing both of them sound to each other. The figure of the man leaning on the branch of the tree sighed as the wind around them started to move noisily followed by a tremor that shook their footing.

“Finally nature found the next replacement,” said the man leaning on the tree behind him.

The silver hair with its red tip moved following the movement of the wind. While the black-silver-robed man in front of him nodded and looked at the smiling face of the man in front of him with his two-colored bead.

The two went back into silence when they heard the echoing screams of monsters. Shaking around them, the black-silver-robed figure glanced towards the outside of the forest which was the source of the sound coming from. The sound of someone appearing within his head made the figure with the black-silver robe moved to leave.

“Go .. I think the monster has got there.”

The black-silver-robed figure nodded and was about to run. However, the voice of the figure behind him made him turn his head. “Veister .. take good care of herself.”

The black-silver-robed figure that was none other than Veister nodded and started running towards Ivew that he had left behind. The young man's footsteps grew increasingly difficult as the ground around him continued to sway. The young man moved his hand and started using magic to blow himself away.

The sound of commotion increasingly entered his ears as the light from outside the forest grew increasingly visible. Simultaneously the sound of a horse came from behind him and Veister immediately used his invisibility magic.

The two-colored eye bead stared at the group of people in a black-red uniform, a typical military uniform. The young man's bead stared at the figure that was at the very front, the young man with black hair and navy eyes, Laveron who was accelerating his horse's pace with his sword pointed forward. Veister followed calmly behind the entourage and the young man's two-colored bead widened as it felt the strong scent of the wind.

The sound of the monster's cry made its focus break apart and the moment it reached the front of the chaos black forest before its eyes shocked everyone. Veister's two-colored bead searches for Ivew's whereabouts and soon approaches when it finds the girl exhausted in Lolita's embrace. The newly arrived military forces immediately attacked the already dying monster and finished him off as fast as they could. Their long and sharp swords cut through every body of the spider monster without any remains. Ignoring the foul smell of the purple liquid the monster was spreading in all directions.

The monster dies and some military forces soon help Leister as well as other knights who are unconscious. Laveron's navy beads combed in all directions around him, the young man gasped in shock when he found the younger brother who closed his eyes tightly in the arms of the exhausted Lolita. The young man immediately ran towards the younger brother who had lost consciousness. Lolita's pomegranate beads glowed in relief when she found Laveron present in time to save them.

Lolita sighed and apologized. The young miss asked them to bring all the injured into the Flowerlax mansion and would tell Laveron everything. The navy-eyed young man nodded and followed Lolita's steps while securing Ivew in his arms.

His navy bead looked at the slightly pale face of the sister. Several military forces followed in their footsteps carrying all the wounded. That day the attack that took place in the black forest was spread throughout the empire. The knowing Duke Flowerlax was trying to finish his work in the empire as quickly as possible and was looking for more information about the assault going on in his area.

Veister who from the beginning followed Laveron with invisibility magic only fell silent and glanced at the calm Ivew in his arms. The two-colored eye bead glanced at the circular bracelet on Ivew's right wrist. The young man felt a ferment of strength that began to fade from Ivew's body.

Staring at Laveron who laid Ivew's body in the guest room that Lolita provided the young man felt guilty as he looked at Laveron's worried face. The young man's navy-eyed hand clasped tightly onto the unconscious brother's hand.

“You always make brothers worry, Ivew,” murmured Laveron broke the silence of the room. Several servants came and began to clean the dusty body of Ivew.

Laveron and Veister immediately walked out of the room letting the servants do their job. The two young men turned their heads towards the hallway when they heard Lolita's footsteps coming in a clean and tidy state. The girl's pomegranate bead looked at Laveron's worried face and took the young man to his study to explain everything that happened.

Veister stared at the room in front of him, quite messy and full of documents on the table but very neat if shifted to the other part. The smell of vanilla is quite thick in the workspace of the young lady. Lolita sat on the sofa in her study opposite Laveron. The young man patiently waited for Lolita to explain everything including the curious Veister.

Lolita sighed and began to explain everything without missing a single thing. Laveron listened quietly without interrupting anything else with Veister standing behind him, the young man was already grumpy when he heard the answer Ivew gave regarding their previous conversation or about the power-hungry Duke Flowerlax.

The two young men's beads widen as Lolita begins to explain how Ivew deals attacks to the spider monster and makes it die. Veister immediately left the room and headed towards the room where Ivew rested. The young man's two-colored bead stared at Ivew's slightly pale face with a still unconscious condition.

“I told you, right? You will master the power of that wind,” muttered Veister grabbed the black strands of Ivew hair that covered his face.

The door opened again and Veister turned to look at Laveron who entered the room with a heavy sigh. The young man immediately sat down on the chair that was beside Ivew's bed. The room was indeed luxurious but the navy-eyed young man felt claustrophobic, there were many things that made him dislike visiting the flowerlax mansion especially if it had anything to do with Ivew.

Especially if the duke begins to know about the potential power of the younger brother. Then the bad scenario in Laveron's mind was just waiting for the time to materialize. Veister who was behind Laveron was silent.

“Abang hope you don't end up being a puppet for power, Ivew.”
