(A Normal Sunny day, The Flora Castle In Faye)

With the arrival of spring, the Kingdom of Faye was liberated from its winter woes. Shops and streets buzzed with activity, feasts were more elaborate, and people shed their heavy winter garments. The warmth and beauty of spring brought joy to everyone. Despite the increased workload, people were content to return to their normal routines. They spent time with loved ones or assisted each other with their tasks.

It was a typical day until a group of four young men landed on Ezekiel Bridge, their large wings unfurling behind them. They resembled the woman Orano and Caitrin had encountered in Aetas, but with distinct differences. Their wings were larger, their physiques more masculine, and they exuded a dark aura.

The youngest, a teenager of seventeen or eighteen, stood at five and a half feet tall. His spiky black hair framed his dark eyes, and his expression was one of annoyance. He wore a black collared outfit, black pants with a black belt, and black boots.

The man on the left, in his early twenties, towered over the others at six feet tall. His long white hair and piercing white eyes contrasted with his cheerful demeanor. He was dressed in a purple shirt, a white jacket and vest, and a purple tie, with white pants. His white wings complemented his joyful expression.

The man on the right, in his mid-twenties, stood at six and a half feet tall. His short wavy blond hair framed his neck, and his dark purple eyes were fixed in a serious expression. He wore a dark blue jacket and trousers, a white shirt, a black tie, and gloves. His large black wings added to his imposing appearance.

The man in the forefront, grinning widely, had been the first to land.

A man in his mid-twenties, stood at six feet tall. His short, wavy black hair framed his neck, and his yellow eyes held a commanding gaze. His skin was a light-toned brunette, and he was impeccably dressed in a black shirt, a white tie and vest, a white jacket and pants, and black luxury shoes.

His large white wings were distinct from his companions', appearing more graceful and expansive. As they walked through the crowd, people parted to make way for them, their gazes filled with confusion and fear.

Whispers spread through the crowd. "They've finally arrived!" "Who are they?" "It must be Mr. Nuzuki Serumu!"

The man in the forefront halted, his arms raised. "Ah, Faye! As grand and elegant as ever." He turned to the crowd, his expression hardening. "But it seems there are still a lot of cockroaches crawling around."

The crowd, intimidated by his gaze, turned away, trembling with fear.

The man with the blonde hair spoke. "It's only been a few days since the recent ceremony, Mr. Nuzuki. I'm sure some creature hunters are still here."

The white-haired man smiled. "I hope there's a crowd waiting for us."

The youngest member, the teenager, crossed his arms and addressed the blonde-haired man. "No matter how much time has passed, we would have come here anyway, Achilles."

He turned to the man with the long white hair. "We've already devised a plan to catch them off guard, Neo. Their numbers won't matter. We'll follow Mr. Nuzuki's orders."

Nuzuki interjected, "Calm down, everyone. There's no need to argue. We're just here for a visit."

He looked at the castle, his grin widening. "It wouldn't be polite to keep them waiting, would it?"

(At The Same Time, Inside Of The Flora Castle)

Flora Castle, a marvel of architectural ingenuity, was a place of enchantment for all. Its luxurious and costly furnishings, coupled with its rich historical tapestry, transported visitors to a different realm. Even the entrance itself was a gateway to a new world.

Renowned for its captivating structure and formidable protectors, Flora Castle was a place of legend. Beyond the renowned Haruhi Eliza, the castle boasted powerful knights like Charlotte Adimire, Fechin Ikazuchi, Leo Sukomaru, and Hayase Kinue.

Charlotte Adimire was a woman of unwavering determination and a formidable presence. She was always punctual and meticulous, and her stern demeanor discouraged casual banter among the castle staff. Despite her intimidating personality, her striking beauty, with her short brown hair, brown eyes, and towering height, made her universally admired. Clad in heavy dark brown armor and a matching cape, she exuded an aura of authority.

Fechin Ikazuchi, in contrast, was a solitary figure. Though his duty involved supervising and guiding others, he often seemed aloof and indifferent. While not considered evil or callous, he was known for his cold demeanor and reluctance to engage in conversation. Standing at six feet tall with short white hair and piercing silver eyes, he wore black armor that instilled a sense of mysterious dread.

Leo Sukomaru and Hayase Kinue were a breath of fresh air amidst the castle's more serious atmosphere. Their infectious enthusiasm and optimism were a beacon of hope for all. Though less renowned than their peers, their unwavering support and encouraging words after every mission endeared them to everyone.
