Location: In the heart of Anselma, Cor dei.

Time: The morning following Solis's exile.

In a room filled with documents and tables, a man with sparkling red hair is focused in his documents.

White robe adorned his pettie body. The man struggled to keep his pink gentle eyes open.

“I am getting drowsy.” Yet the man didn't drop his pen.

The knock on the door finally made him drop his pen.

With a mellow voice, he commanded the man outside, “come in.”

“Greetings to the almighty saint, the seeker of future, Lord Oskar.” The muted red hair man had his head bowed. His clothes matched his piercing silver eyes.

“Please raise your head, lord Liam.” To Liam, even Oskar's request sounded like an order. “I take you have your reports.”

Liam hated his gentle voice.

“Lady Solis has been escorted to the woods.” Liam said.

“It must have been hard for you. Especially since she cleared your allegations of being cursed.” Oskar let out a sigh. He continued to check the documents.

“It is my duty as the captain of holy knight.” Liam heart sank deep with his words. “My Lord how is Anabelle doing?”

Oskar looked up. The piercing eye fixed on Oskar.

“Worried about your fiance?” Liam didn't reply to that. “Don't worry I won't let the princess of our kingdom die.”

Liam wanted to let out a laugh at Oskar's words.

“ I will be taking my leave now.” Liam said.

“Liam.” Oskar's voice stopped him. His back still turned. “I heard that you have a new sibling. You should be careful.”

“The rightful heir to the Belle house is that kid. I am mere adopted child.” Liam maintained his cool.

He left the room.

“l might have offended him”, said Oskar. “I need someone to keep their eyes in him.”

There was no one beside Oskar in the room. Yet it felt like he was talking with someone.

“You get what I am trying to say, don't you?”

No one answered Oskar. Only the wind kept singing and the tree's kept dancing.

After few seconds, a soft smile greeted Oskar's face. Maybe one could even say Oskar has gone mad from years of living.

Oskar's pink eyes again shifted towards the documents.

----------------------------------------

Liam had a gut wrenching feeling of something being off. Prince Aster went on isolation. And princess Anabelle health had worsen.

It was odd, very very odd. Especially since they loved Solis more than their brother. Even couple days before Solis's exile, they were adamant in proving her innocent.

Even though Prince Nova is returning today and they are nowhere to be seen.

“Lord Liam.” A familiar voice called out.

Liam knew exactly who it was. A girl stood infront of him. Dressed in fluffy clothes and hair tied in pig tails. She was adorable.

But Liam knew better. Despite her appearance, she is a very good archer. And also one of his childhood bully.

Liam wasn't well received due to his blind eyes suddenly turning white. He regained his sight and place in Belle’s family. Even though he lost his sight due to carelessness of Belle's family's caretaker.

And this lady never failed to make his life miserable. As the queen of the party and a Marquis daughter, everybody would follow her.

Liam certainly was also a son of Marquis. But he was adopted. And to top it all with his white cursed eyes. Belle house couldn't care less.

And now Solis proclaimed he is a blessed individual. People especially her couldn't stop showering him with compliments.

“Lady Mariette. How can I help you?” Liam had a graceful smile on his face.

“Oh I just wanted to greet you. You look so pretty today too.” Once Mariette had called him a toad in mud.

But he must forget that. For he is a noble.

“You look stunning too.” Liam said. His heart was bitter.

“Is lady Anabelle doing well.” Marinette said as if she cared.

“I am currently going to Prince Aster to ask about her.”

“Oh, am I keeping you here?”

“Not at all.” Liam clenched his fist. He wanted it to be over. He couldn't stand her. The mere sight of her disgusted him.

“Even still you have an appointment. Let us meet again.” She went back running.

Liam couldn't keep staring at that odd creature. He really needs to talk to Aster.

Time present.

I watched as Solis pulled out a heavy suitcase. I provided her with the suitcase and clothes inside.

“It must be heavy. You are strong.” I said.

Solis's eyes suddenly shifted towards me. I saw fire in her hazel eyes. She was shooting draggers from her eyes, fire draggers.

“Oh, it is heavy, I wish someone could help me.” Was she talking about me? Solis stare intensed.

She is indeed talking about me.

I move towards Solis. I touch her suitcase and it disappears.

Solis looks confused. “Was it magic?”

“Dimensional storage.” Solis glared at me. She might kill me today. “Let's go.” I try to diverse her attention.

“Don't you need to lock the door?” Solis asks.

“There is nothing valuable in there.” I said. “And sometimes someone might seek a place.”

“You seem experienced.”

“Well because it happened before. A few of them were humans. Humans so lost that even their greedy nature disappeared.” I said.

Solis looks awestruck.

“Do you remember all of them?”

“A 16 year old girl. She was also exiled.” She loved her parents.

“Where is she now?”

“She died. When she went to meet her parents on 18 birthday, her parents told her off. She was declared a witch.”

The atmosphere fell.

“An injured man who wouldn't shut up about finding treasure in this world, a soulless child and a old woman who was finding her dead son. She spent her last days on this place.”

Few humans who I beloved….

Remembering those days make me nostalgic.

And now I am leaving this place. But it will still be same. A home where I can be. Forever.
