Selena Iris Diane
A girl with long ice blonde hair, gray eyes and youthful face stood on top of a tree and was watching a warehouse like a hawk.
She wore dark navy clothes, a purple hoodie cape and had a bow in her hand and arrows in the case fitted near her waist.
System (Little rabbit)
The target is on the move!!
The target is on the move!!
Ray
I'm gonna hang up. The target is on the move.
Ray
I'll take a look at the other details when I'm carrying out the mission.
She hung up the call and pulled up her hood and smirked.
Ray
A serial killer huh? Interesting!
Ray
Let's finish this one first.
True name....
Selena Iris Diane.
Born in the late medieval era.
Daughter of a Royal family.
The only Princess in the Kingdom which had 10 Princes.
I had the face of an angel, grace of a fairy and poise and skill of a goddess said my and my father's subjects.
Married to the Southern Duke at the age of 15.
The Duchess who ran away from the Dukedom mysteriously. Presumed to be eloped with her lover.
The disgraceful princess who made a disgraceful decision.
I ran away from the Dukedom at the age of 25 not because of my lover.
But because I was sick of all those political wars which killed thousands and thousands of people.
The wars between the royalty and the dukedom were unstoppable and was getting more and more ruthless day by day.
I was always trying to stop them.
After every war, there started a plague. A plague for which the antidote medicinal herbs were getting rarer due to the destruction by the battlefield.
That was when my good old friend, the head of the magical tower came to me.
THE LATE MEDIEVAL PERIOD...
SOUTHERN DUKEDOM...
AT THE DUKE'S PALACE...
The maid
Your Highness, the Head of the Magical Tower, Master Alexander and the Royal Alchemist, Mistress Bethany are here.
Selena
Bring them here. And vacate the place.
The maid
Yes, your Highness
The maid evacuated the area and my two good friends came in to the garden.
As soon as I saw them trying to bow to me, I stopped them immediately.
Selena
I'm not in the mood for these etiquette right now.
Bethany
(laughs) The lady with the elegance and poise of a goddess. What happened to her?
Selena
Please tell me you guys have good news.
Alexander
It's sort of an information.
Alexander
Good news or not, it's up for you to decide.
Bethany looked around to confirm if someone was eavesdropping.
Alexander noticed her motive and snapped his fingers.
Alexander
I enclosed us three with a barrier.
Alexander
It only allows us three to hear what we three discuss.
Alexander
No fourth person would be able to hear our discussion.
Bethany
Good job, nut case
Alexander
I am the Head of the Magical Bureau, Bethany so I would very much appreciate it if you could control your antiques.
Bethany
Not like I care about your little tricks and magics, Master Alex.
Selena
We are not some kids studying in the Royal Academy anymore. Let's get to the point.
The Royal Academy. I almost forgot that one.
The Royal Academy. One of the greatest places to study.
The specialty and the uniqueness of the Royal Academy is that, no noble or commoner should disclose their true identity to other students until graduation.
It is a method created by my great-grandmother who thought that friendship and education must not be subjected to ones social status.
We three met each other in the Royal Academy.
Speaking to each other informally became our habit after spending 10 years there.
Bethany became all too serious all of a sudden.
Bethany
We found out from the archaic records that there is this organization.
Selena
Which organization?
Bethany seemed a bit hesitant to speak further.
So Alexander took the lead.
Alexander
The organization's main focus is to stop grave crimes and let people live in peace.
Alexander
As far as I investigated, they don't take part in wars to avoid people getting to know their identity.
Alexander
They just protect people from grave murders, serial loots and stuff related.
Selena
Where can I meet it's head?
Bethany
You are going to ask for help, right?
Selena
And I am willing to provide all my wealth if they ask for pay.
Alexander
But as I said, they don't take part in wars.
Selena
I will try to persuade them. If they still don't, then the least they could do is help people with the antidotes.
Selena
It is more important now.
Selena
The war waits for a while. Considering both my father and my husband. They both are observing each other.
Selena
We can afford to move our vision from war to other problems.
Selena
So where is their secret post?
Bethany
I'll take you there.
Alexander
Our meeting must stay a secret. Nobody must come to that know we met today.
Bethany
That's almost impossible.
Bethany
Most of your fangirls in the society knew you were coming here.
Bethany
And so do my followers
Selena
That wouldn't be a problem.
Selena
They don't find out what we talked about is what matters. And not the fact that we met today.
Bethany
Let's go to the post today or later?
And that was how I came to know about the system
The system indeed didn't participate in the war, but it helped in a lot of other ways.
There are 3 options for the people who know about the system
And I chose the third while the other two chose to forget.
After all they had 2 great towers of the Kingdom and Dukedom to rule.
If they were to leave that and join the system, then all the other magicians and the alchemist would go mad.
What I didn't expect was that when I first entered the system. The agents were amidst an internal war.
