As if the golden mist immediately disappeared right in front of me, I could no longer caress that familiar warmth, everything going back to the way it was, and I could now feel the leaves dancing with the whispers of the breezes.

Then a leaf came flowing down to my open palm only to close it and put it on the middle of my chest.

"Until I see you again, Crane," but then why do I feel like it's already hard to breathe...

As I adjusted my coat, I walked like one with the dancing leaves enough to be swayed by the gentle caresses of the time.

As soon as I landed my sight on the dark envelope and a small stick as I twisted it upwards, I could see the redness of the circular object below with a logo, I knew it had something to do with the information from the Hildigger.

When I asked Oratio about the upcoming war, he only shook his head and sighed as he knew that I have to attain and surpass the current level I have now to gain that information from him so I would think of this as a bonus instead.

The day couldn't get anymore busier, and when I thought that I could help the clinic, I saw the letter from my table and I couldn't help to set the dark envelope aside, take my seat and open it only to know that it was from Grenda.

"Dear Lady Agnes, I hope you're feeling all right, I am now working as your employee in your clinic and I guess that many people were coming within. Also, I might inform you that some nobles were starting to acknowledge your clinic and they're trying to ask me some. I also imposed your policies that if nobles were to claim some of the medicines they would have to pay..."

"You don't have to worry about it since they knew me and my family that's why they wouldn't talk bad to your clinic, you know that I always have your back, Lady Agnes... Oh and by the way, someone sent letters from you and I can guess they're from the other nobles. I could only think that those were some invitations... Nevertheless, I hope you have great days ahead..."

Upon reading her letter, I didn't even realize that the corners of my lips had already been lifted if I hadn't seen my reflection in the large windows beside where I was.

"Thank you, Lady Grenda," I whispered and when the flames of the candles moved, I knew I had another silhouette to entertain.

"Welcome, Lexus, how was your day with your comrades?" I asked him as I turned to look at him kneeling in front of me where I could sense he was holding something in his hands.

"As I've always been, they were obedient to Oratio, but I knew that they would have some hard time adjusting to their new master that's why I brought two of them since they became curious about the lady that I served." As soon as Lexus said those words, two misty black smoke appeared and right now, I could see their silhouette well even if their shadows danced with the flames of the candle.

"It's been an honor to be able to meet you in person, the lady of our new master, I'm Jer"

"And I'm Key, and we're the two from the phantom knight's group..." I couldn't help but put both of my hands on my mouth since it was the first time I saw two wizards being easygoing when all I knew weren't like the ones I held in my imagination.

One of the two who was named Jer and the first one to greet me was kneeling like the other, he had this long luscious yellowish hair tied in a white ribbon. While I could see that Oratio was wearing black.

He had this long black coat, and his skin was glowing as white as snow from his appearance. When I turned to look at the other, I could see that he had dark chocolate brown hair like Lexus but he had the same length of hair as Jer.
