Scene 1: The Greyard Mansion - Bedroom
The grand mansion of the Greyard family within the kingdom of Veldora was alive with anticipation. Haruto Greyard, the esteemed head of the family and Magic Knight of the kingdom's elite forces, paced the halls with a mix of excitement and worry. His wife, Akane Greyard, rested in their lavish bedroom, her pregnancy nearing its end. The room was adorned with soft hues and comforting furnishings, a stark contrast to the tension Akane felt.
Dialogue:
Claire, bounding into the room, looked up at her mother with innocent eyes.
Claire said, “Did you eat too much, Mama? Your belly is so big!”
The room erupted into laughter at Claire's innocent remark. Despite her discomfort, Akane smiled warmly.
Akane said, “No, Claire. I'm going to have a baby very soon. You'll be a big sister!”
Claire’s eyes widened with excitement.
Claire said, “Really? Will it be a little sister or a little brother?”
Haruto, kneeling beside his daughter, ruffled her hair.
Haruto said, “We don’t know yet, but we’re sure you’ll be a wonderful big sister. What would you prefer—a sister or a brother?”
Claire pondered for a moment, her small brow furrowing in concentration.
Claire said, “Hmm... I think I’d like a little brother. Then I can teach him how to play games!”

Some years had passed. The Greyard mansion, ever filled with the buzz of noble life, had settled into a comfortable rhythm. Shin had grown into a curious and innocent boy. His admiration for his sister Claire had only deepened over the past year.
Shin followed Claire everywhere, his wide eyes filled with wonder whenever he watched her practice or study.
Claire said one afternoon, holding up a book, “Look, Shin. This is about the history of our kingdom. Do you want to learn about the great kings and queens?”
Shin nodded enthusiastically, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Shin said, “Yes, please, Claire! I want to know everything!”
Claire laughed and ruffled his hair.
Claire said, “Alright then, let's start with King Veldora, the founder of our kingdom.”
As Claire narrated the tales of their ancestors, Shin listened intently, absorbing every word. His innocence and eagerness to learn made these moments special for Claire. Despite her busy schedule at the Royal Academy of Magic, she always made time for her little brother, finding solace in their shared moments.
