POV Queen Hunt.
Located in the Casterial Mansion, the queen squeezed tightly into her soft maroon-red pillow, looking at a lot of books that circled around it, he said, he focused on finding information about the power he had gained from physical contact with Darius a few tens of minutes ago, relentlessly searching here and there, and there, from one book to another, he has even been browsing to various archaeological sites of magic with his cellphone and laptop to find the information he wants but the results are nil.
"Damn..., why is there no clue at all? I really want to know," restless Queen.
tock...! tock...!
The sound of someone knocking on the door.
"Who? what's there to do?" ask Queen.
"It's me brother."
Answer the familiar voice, Mara.
"Oh, come on in."
With the Queen's permission, he entered the room.
The shocking thing he saw was his brother's messy room, filled with books strewn about.
"Sister, I just want to report that the preparations for Darius' welcome are ready" Mara said.
"Good, make sure everything goes well" said the Queen.
Mara was unable to stem her curiosity after seeing her brother's strange behavior.
"What are you doing?" ask Mara.
"I'm just learning" replied the Queen.
"But why are you opening so many books, your phone and your laptop at once? isn't that too much?" ask Mara.
"Yes, I was looking to explore something new, so I opened it all up at once," replied the lie a second time.
"Alright then, I will again supervise the performance of the subordinates who prepare food," said Mara in a soft tone.
"Be careful, even though only watching people cook but vigilance must still be sharp" said the Queen.
"Good, brother."
Mara left the Queen's room.
After Mara was outside, she saw clearly something was wrong with her brother, but she tried to turn away the assumption because her brother was famous for being diligent, although her brother's way of learning this time was very different from usual.
"I'd better not think anything," Mara said.

Darius POV.
Darius has returned home after a fight against the Manticore, he is greeted by a fussy Mona who is not allowed to record Darius while fighting monsters, who else if not Raven forbid him.
"I'm home" said Darius.
"Welcome, brother," "reply Mona with enthusiasm.
"Welcome back," replied Raven while bowing her head.
"You took good care of him (Mona), Raven," Darius said.
"He whined many times, but I didn't pay attention" Raven replied.
Mona looked at Raven.
"The leader of K.A.O is really evil, even though I want to record Darius's brother with this expensive camera," said lethargic Mona while lamenting the expensive camera he brought.
"You should care more about life first, if something bad happens to you then it will be my failure because I am a knight" explained Darius in a subtle tone.
"Raven, there's something we need to talk about" Darius said.
"Good, sir."
The two of them went to the living room to talk, where Darius told his subordinates what he had heard from the mouth of Queen Hunt.
This is enough to make Raven surprised and suspicious, last month the Queen was hostile to Darius even trying to block the graduation of Darius from the Division of magic at the beginning level, now he suddenly admitted that Darius is a Hunt.
Clearly this raised great suspicion in Raven's mind.
"It's very clear he has a certain meaning, this could be a trap" Raven explained.
"He said he would welcome me to his place tonight, I honestly worry about coming or not, he's not an easy person to forgive someone in one night, so what do you think? should I come?"
Darius asked for an opinion.
Raven thought for a moment to determine the right move, she still had a bad prejudice against Hunt's nobles in this era.
As a protective subordinate, there should be no mistake that can harm or harm his master, for him every mistake is a death sentence for him.
"If you want to come, then I will prepare an escort, but it all depends on your decision to come or not" Raven suggested.
According to Darius, escort was not necessary because he believed enough in the power he had, but....
"Well, I will come with the escort you provided, may this time the arrogant Queen mean it" said Darius.
Raven looked delighted to hear his master's words.
"Okay sir, I'll have an escort ready for you."

POV Casterial Mansion.
Clearly visible from the front of the gate of the headquarters of the Hunt nobles, two of Hunt's higher-ups were annoyed at getting orders to greet the guests who were coming to the Casterial Mansion.
The two higher-ups were Lavionate' Rossa Hunt and Arnoldi Hunt, this was the first time they had gotten this lowly task from their leader.
"Cih...., why should I be the one on duty to welcome? don't we have a butler here?"
Said annoyed Rossa while stepping on the cigarette butts he smoked.
"Be quiet, if the Queen finds out, your head will no longer be where it should be" whispered Arnoldi.
Rossa is a hot sorcerer, he got the nickname Inferno Rose from his achievements in the inter-academic magic championship, he is a student of Tiamara Hunt who is none other than the Queen's younger brother.
Possessing an angry, arrogant nature is also exclusive in making friends and tends to be ambitious in the pursuit of any achievement in witchcraft education.
He has an ideal stature, long red hair and has a rather dark skin color, his body is quite tall. Rossa is very fond of red or black clothes like the dress she is wearing today.
To be honest, she had no intention of welcoming guests in this dress, as it was used to dance whenever a party was celebrated at Hunt's residence, but unfortunately the Queen ordered him to wear it when welcoming Darius who was coming to the Casterial Mansion.
What a upsetting Rossa is, that it is not really because the Queen ordered her to welcome guests in her best dress, but because the guest he would welcome was the most despicable person in his eyes.
Darius.
"I really don't want to welcome the fake Hunt while wearing my best dress, if it's not because of the Queen's orders, I've rejected this commandment completely," Rossa said.
"However, it was the self-styled Hunt who saved the Queen and our friends from the ferocity of the monsters this afternoon" Arnoldi said.
"What?" ask Rossa who doesn't understand.
"He fought with us at that time, he advanced to the front line and made himself a shield to protect our friends before the Queen finally managed to kill the monster" Arnoldi explained.
Rossa who heard it instantly threw away a face.
"Oh.., so he's looking for a face to acknowledge as Hunt, a sneaky way," Rossa said.
"I don't think so, I hate to admit this but he really fought so well without thinking about our hatred for him, there's no way a person who's just looking for a face would be willing to bet their lives on a fight," reply Arnoldi.
"Whatever the reason I still do not want to, see later, I will challenge him to fight one-on-one and I will show the strength of the real Hunt," Rossa said confidently.
Arnoldi ran out of words to respond to this one friend, they returned to focus on their task as welcoming guests.
