Lux ET Tenebris (Filadelfia Academy)
Secret Dungeons.

"This place is so dark, what are we gonna do?" ask Illan.

"Come in!.." take me

"Yes, you know a place like this is supposed to be well guarded, but why it's so dusty and the lights are so dim!"

"Huh." "I'm very busy, and only now can I come here."

"Hurry in."

Illan went inside and shuffled in the bookcase by the door, I walked over to the old brown table, carved in leaves, on top of which were piles of books and paper, I picked up one of the papers on it.

"It's been 500 years, I didn't think it would be that fast." I murmured.

I walked to the front of the table, opened the drawer and picked up a dark brown box with white roses on it, and sat down on the chair near the table, for a moment I just held the little box, then opened it carefully, the open box contained a key made of pure gold that decorated with a blue gem of Ruby on the head.

I held the key in my hand, while Illan who had walked back and forth observed the room that made me a little uncomfortable.

"Illan, rather than you doing something unimportant. Better help me find Lady Adrianne Rein!" my word.

Illan just gave a small nod, then looked for the book I said, once again I opened the desk drawer and looked for another box containing the stone belonging to Lady Azalea.

Adrianne Rein and Azalea Rein are my older cousins who died at the hands of the Humans who always thought themselves right.

"I've found her, what should we do, it's Auntie's, right?" illan.

The reddish-brown book that came from animal skin, was in Illan's grasp, I only saw it for a moment and searched for the box.

"Put the book on the table!"

"What are you looking for?"

"Your mother's box, that thing is very important I must immediately return it to His Majesty!"

"Well, all right."

"I'm getting bored, I'd like after this to pick up some books and read them in my room, all the books here are so good."

"Do an Angel like yourself need to read Demon books?"

"Come on, you say that like that is tantamount to insulting my father! Aren't you so obedient to him that you're called the Emperor's Dog." "Ok don't think about what I'm saying."

"Huh, this kid if only he wasn't my brother's son would've killed me!" kapaku.

"Why the two of them are so similar, I never thought they both had this kind of annoying nature."

I got up from my seat, and then opened the drawer next to the other drawer. A heart-red square box lay inside, I took it and opened it, a green Crystal stone was inside, I immediately took out the chocolate box and put the golden key I held in my left hand.

"Where are you going?" asked Illan who saw me move away from the table.

"Follow it out, then grab some books you need, on the back there are still some books that work for you."

"Alright, Thank you." she replied with a excited face.

I walked out of the room, while Illan was still busy looking for some books and putting them into his magic.

After a while, he got out of there. I, who was leaning against the wall, approached him who was ready to come out of this hallway.

"Hurry up, I'm so bored."

"You're so chatty, actually where your chatter comes from.!"

"You may have forgotten that you were so noisy, especially when Adria and I were making a mess." "I honestly miss those moments a lot."

I just lowered my head to hear what he said about my sister, however much I missed her, she was like my own mother.

"Xander! You miss Mom too, no, if it never happened, I and Adria would have embraced her and we could have listened to her. Dad won't be like this either, I know you must be very lonely."

Illan continued his chatter, "Adria was one and a half years old then, and I was three. Adria always makes trouble, even disappears, and then you come and take her home."

"I'm upset, but how else, fate says you have to leave us all."

"Xander, let's go back upstairs!"

"Ah, okay."

We went back up without saying anything, I took a small Cristal ball in my pocket in my coat, then contacted Adria and Selena who were somewhere in Cylia.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Adria said from inside the horse-drawn carriage, her face was very cheerful. The faces of Adria and Selena were seen on the Hologram that the Crystal ball had taken out, its faces were very similar to my Big Brother, I was speechless when I saw it.

"Ah you called Adria."

"Sister Illan, where are you? Why is it so dark?"

"Secret, a child like yourself would rather be quiet!"

"Don't hide anything from me, so your business is done, we'll be there any minute. I told the coachman to go back to your place."

"Adria is very good"

"Why is Brother Xander silent, is he eating wrong or what?"

"I don't know, here's the ball."

I gave the ball to Illan, I didn't know what to talk to Adria about, we walked up to the stairs, and immediately got out of there, Illan was still talking to Adria from earlier.

Then we got out of the blacksmith's place, I saw the way around, from my left the train had arrived. Illan turned off the ball and saw Adria's collar waving her hand.

Inside the carriage were five large shopping bags, I only shook my head as I looked at the bag. We approached the train and went inside, Adria's face was very happy at that time, not as usual who was always moody.

"Adria what are all those bags for?"

"I bought some clothes and tea, as well as some knick knacks for my friend" he replied cheerfully.

"Huh." I could only quietly look at the two of them.

Selena just chuckled at their behavior, I picked up a book that was located on top of the Train Drawer.

Along the way the three brands talked about Adria and Illan's activities at the Academy, I just listened.

At last we arrived, my watch showed at 15:36, which means that it had been almost 5 hours that we went out, Selena brought some of my bags in her magic, I only brought one, she said, and the other one was brought by Kak Illan for himself, well I bought him some clothes and also some jewelry.

His face looked very happy, while Brother Xander just sat he did not flinch at all, he said he had to go somewhere, I just said his words. The three of us entered the Academy, while Brother Xander left on his horse-drawn carriage.

We parted ways with Kak Illan, he went to the right towards his Asram, while me and Kak Selena went towards my Asram.

As we were in the courtyard of my senior Princess Dormitory seen waiting for me, they sat on a chair that was on the first floor near the stairs. I waved my right hand they replied. Naomi is also with them.

Kaku ran towards them all, and stopped in front of them. They look very happy, well because they are given pocket money and some new clothes by people know them, they are very carefree.

"Adria, wherever you've been, we've been waiting, why don't you call us?" said Brother Prissy, the others just laughed a little.

"Sorry!"

"Well, how about we take a bath together in Shauna Dormitory, we have to rest for a while" said Kak Tracy who was sitting next to Sister Naomi.

"Yes, I'll put the groceries first, then we'll go."

I glanced at Kak Selena who was talking to Kak Liz they looked very familiar.

"Sister, want to come? Brother Xander must be back here a long time, maybe tomorrow!"

"Wait, but what can?"

"No one forbids, you agree no." said Sister Naomi.

"Tonight my brother stayed in my room How, my bed will be big enough for both of us!"

"Alright, if Miss says that."

My senior chuckled at Selena's slightly clumsy behavior, after all, this was her first time with another Race's Beings.

~~~ Shauna Hostel ~~~

Shauna Dormitory Princess is in the back of the Dormitory, this place is very safe and also open. However, it is covered by a glass roof, so we can still see the beautiful sky. Behind Shauna is Shauna Dorm guy, they are so noisy that it sounds up to Shauna Woman. Well you could say male and female dormitories are next to each other.

We were there to take off our clothes and submerge ourselves in a large, circular hot pool, I leaned my body against the small rocks surrounding the pool, Tracy's sister drowned herself and returned to the surface, while Selena's sister clutched with Naomi and Liz's sister, Kak, Laila who was near me just silently lowered her body she was busy arranging her long white hair covering her chest, I just kept looking at them, I just kept looking at them, Brother Prissy who just got to directly throw himself into the pool made a big splash, the rest they also drowned themselves and did other things.

"I don't know, we're always busy. How can we get here, while only until 5 pm this place is not!" I replied, I drowned my head and left only my eyes.

"Aduuuhhh" I complained, Tracy's sister hit me on the head.

I went back to the surface, and then I saw my left side seeing Kak Prissy chuckling because of my behavior.

"Adria, what do you do when you go around?"

"Ah, I'm just eating and shopping!"

"eat? Shopping?"

"Yes, I ate at the restaurant that served Seafood, I forgot his name, next time I'll take big brother!"

"Seafood? What do you mean Cylia Heaven! Isn't the place very expensive, some say the price of one serving of food can make one village full!"

"Well, that's it." I said.

"You are, you Nobles can usually have that kind of money, it's good to be Nobles."

"Not completely"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, how else, honestly the Nobles have a lot of problems, even though we have a lot of money. There are still a lot of problems...

"For example, power struggles, the economy of the territory controlled, and so on."

"really? I always thought Nobles only lived luxuriously...

"I always see them partying, eating fancy food, going anywhere."

"But I am not like them, well my brother is a submissive Knight and surrenders himself to His Majesty."

Prissylia was silent for a moment, she thought inside her head, "ah it turns out I was wrong!"

I just nodded slowly, then drowned my head completely in the pool.

The noise from the hot spring Men was heard all the way here, the sound of footsteps was very noisy.

Then the screams of Kak Illan and Kurtis made us who heard it growled. Brother Prissy who was next to me could not bear to hear them all, he stood up from his seat.

"Hey, can you guys just shut up!, I know you guys haven't had a shower in a long time but at least shut up, we're distracted here!" growled.

Their voices from there disappeared, brother Prissy sitting back in the pool.

"What you said, Didn't you never take a shower either, Prissy was very

bother." Reply Illan from Sana.

"Huh!..."

"You should have seen yourself as a sucker, didn't you know Naomi was also here with us, she was so bothered by your annoying voice."

"That's right, shameless policy." replied Liz who was sitting halfway between Naomi and Serena.

Naomi is silent, she doesn't know what her friends think of her and Illan.

"Ah, you are all noisy I am here because you want calm and relax why you all make trouble, if I am your senior I will give you a full month's punishment." I shouted.

Everyone looked at me, The men over there laughed at me, and Serena laughed. Suddenly the atmosphere broke with laughter, I was ashamed of what I said. I drowned my head completely.

"Well, well it seems like we have to go back to our respective rooms, soon the sun will be replaced by the moon" said Serena.

All nodding in agreement, I got out of the pool and immediately picked up the towel beside me, I changed clothes and we immediately went to our respective rooms. Me and Serena both walked down the hallway of the second-floor Dormitory

"Miss, I am happy and grateful. The present miss is much different," Serena said.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, now that Miss has a lot of friends and also a good Senior, Miss also looks more excited than the two not before Miss was here."

I smiled at him, "Well, that's it."

"Miss is also much more mature than she used to be."

"Sister!"

We chuckled, I rushed straight to the room, while Serena followed behind.

\*\*\* My room \*\*\*

I changed my clothes with plain blue sleeping pajamas made of silk, after I finished I threw my body into the bed, while Kak Serena prepared dinner for the both of us, I was just waiting while reading some books about the Qi that Brother Prissy gave me a few days ago, I got up from my sleep, and headed towards the table, which I had given, I placed the book on top of it and went to the window on the left side, then opened the plain silver curtain that covered the large window, the beautiful night sky was in front of me, with 3 different moon shapes and colors, and thousands of billions of stars that adorn the night sky.

Serena came out of the kitchen carrying a tray containing the roasted chicken and placed it on the dining table, my room was quite large, and consisted of a mattress on the right side, the kitchen and bathroom were next to each other, and the dining room in front of it, my study table and dressing table were on the side of my bed, then the wardrobe is in another bed.

I walked towards the kitchen and took two dishes, as well as cutlery, Serena returned to the kitchen and took the pot containing the cooked rice. We put it on the table.

"We eat now, I'll wash my hands first, Serena please make me a cup of tea and get some snacks in the kitchen drawer."

Serena just nodded in understanding, I went to the toilet and washed my hands with soap in the sink.

We ate together in a very bright night, a feeling I really miss.
