With the last day of the first month revealing itself, with the moon hidden behind those thick cloud, a figure can be seen in the hallway, staring aimlessly through the window. It's around 200am and a figure approach the blonde princess
"Thought so" [Azumi]
"You really know me" [Alfin]
Seeing Alfin's reaction in the dining hall few hours back, Azumi know that Alfin will have a contemplating feeling about this thing. In fact, whenever something is bothering her, she would find it difficult to fall asleep, and rather than wasting her time in the bed, she would usually goes to the window in an empty corridor, just to stare outside. This has happen for quite some time and will happen again in the near future, and whenever that happen to Alfin, he will come and join her.
"Well, I am your best friend" [Azumi]
"That's reassuring to hear" [Alfin]
Azumi join the aimless staring at the sky, with each of them currently just beside each other
"Truthfully speaking, I think you and Aurora are the one that deserve to be the holy hero more than I am" [Alfin]
"Well, everyone have their opinion, but as for me, I don't mind either one of us become the holy hero" [Azumi]
"I see" [Alfin]
"Well, we still have to get the approval of the other six spirit, and also pass the trial afterward, and who know maybe it's someone who's a complete stranger that will become the holy hero" [Azumi]
"If that happens, I would support that person without a doubt" [Alfin]
"Well, that person have proven himself to be worthy of the holy hero title, so it's not strange to fully support he or she but..." [Azumi]
"But what?" [Alfin]
"I would like you to be that person" [Azumi]
"Care to tell why?" [Alfin]
"Simple, if it is someone whose a complete stranger vs someone that you already know, you would choose those that you know" [Azumi]
"Such a simple reason" [Alfin]
"Well, sorry for not giving a philosophical reasoning behind that answer" [Azumi]
"So that mean I have to live up to your expectations as well isn't it" [Alfin]
"Up to you" [Azumi]
"Just the answer that I had expected" [Alfin]
"Well, our journey are still long" [Azumi]

"True, but it wouldn't hurt to think as you take your first step, plus those who fail to plan are someone that plan to fail" [Alfin]
"As long as you are not overthinking about it" [Azumi]
"Well, people life are at stake one year from now on, so I don't think I am overthinking things" [Alfin]
"Well, you are a princess, so you will be concern about everybody and that's what make you great. At least better than Kniaz." [Azumi]
"I wonder how will he react about this? And also mother..." [Alfin]
Thinking about those two, Alfin face begin to sour
"Screw him, you still have Mikasa and Sharafudin" [Azumi]
"True, they are both a good sibling eventhough we have rarely talk due to our position" [Alfin]
"Sigh, I just can't understand noble" [Azumi]
"Well, if they openly shown their familial bonding with me, other noble house would misinterpret it and with the succession problem going on, I sincerely think that they make a smart decision" [Alfin]
Alfin face began to sour even more
"Don't worry, whether you become a Queen or Holy Hero or Both, and so long as I am right beside you, I will fully support you" [Azumi]
Azumi said that with a straight serious face.
"You are without a doubt will be an important figure in this era. The least I can do to support you is to make sure no one will harm you" [Azumi]
"Nonsense, you help me in more than one way" [Alfin]
"Im flattered" [Azumi]
"It's the truth. Just by being here with me and talking to me have help reduce my anxiety and stress" [Alfin]
"Well, that is my way of repaying you and the old Valkyrie squad 5 years ago. Who know, if we had not met, I might become a rebel right now" [Azumi]
"Nope, you will be dead" [Alfin]
Alfin said jokingly
"That's a cruel joke" [Azumi]
Azumi giving her a simple reply
"Haha, sorry about that" [Alfin]
"Well, as long as the future Queen and Holy Hero mood have brighten up, I gladly accept the joke" [Azumi]
"Well, how about you become the holy hero while I become the Queen" [Alfin]
"Well, the road ahead are still long, we still have time to think this through, nonetheless, both of us will go and seek the spirit approval" [Azumi]
"Yeah, and once that is done, we both will undergo the trial" [Alfin]
"And even if the holy hero wouldn't be one of us" [Azumi]
"We will support the holy hero!" [Alfin]
With the small talk, Alfin begin to yawn
"Thank you for talking with me Azumi" [Alfin]
"Well, I just like how you like the small talk at night, I also feel the same way" [Azumi]
"Well, let us go to sleep shall we. We got a long day tomorrow" [Alfin]
"Agree, come, I will accompany you to your room" [Azumi]
"What a gentleman" [Alfin]
"Well, it's my job" [Azumi]
