"N-Nozel-sama! Please wait! The Captain is busy-"

The young knight stopped in his tracks as the Silva narrowed his eyes at him in displeasure.

"Are you ordering me, Crimson Lion boy?"

Delphia rolled her eyes as the boy stuttered, trying to appease the royal. Deciding to end the poor boy's suffering, she stepped up, patting his shoulder. "Do yourself a favour and just let us pass. You won't get in trouble for letting us in. Not like you had much of a choice, to begin with." Delphia muttered the last sentence to herself, but from the glare, Nozel was giving her, she wasn't as quiet as she thought.

With a final pat on the younger knight's shoulder, Delphia followed after the captain as he strolled through the Crimson Lion's headquarters as if he owned the place.

Having grown with Fuegoleon, it wasn't a difficult task to locate his mana, and it wasn't long before it led them to one of the courtyards that the Lions used for training.

Leaning against a pillar, Delphia whistled, admiring the pyromaniac display as fire clashed against fire. Her brow rose in interest a smirk pulling on her lips as her eyes glazed over minutely. Nozel frowned as he felt a change in her mana, eyes alight in understanding when he caught her own.

"What did you see." His words came out more like an order than a question, but Delphia was far too used to his ways to complain.

"The little lion will grow into his claws, but he still has a long way to reach the pride's king and the lioness."

Nozel hummed in agreement. "Hn, even the lion king will have trouble beating the lioness."

Delphia felt herself fall deeper into her magic. "Not now-" Nozel's eyes sharpened in her direction. "In time, he will, but there are trials he must pass." She frowned as the future became hazy. She winced, clutching her forehead, "I- My lord-" It was Nozel's swift actions alone that allowed him to catch the violet haired beauty.

"Delphia!"

Having noticed the situation, Fuegoleon was swift in finishing his training with his brother and made his way to Nozel and Delphia.

"Leopold summon the healer!"

"Yes, Aniki!"

Both captains knelt beside the fallen woman with Nozel holding her against his chest as Fuegoleon checked her over, trying to find the source of her sudden ailment.

Delphia groaned, pushing their mothering hands away. "Stop, stop. I'm fine. It was just the backlash from my magic. Just give me a few seconds."

Nozel frowned at her stubbornness, but the two relented to her wishes. It didn't take long for her to get back on her feet, and just to appease the men's mother henning, she allowed the healer to check her over.

"Tell us what happened."

The trio now sat under one of the courtyard's large trees at their female member's insistence. If she was going to be interrogated, it would be done where and how she wants it.

Delphia sighed as she shuffled the tarot cards in her hands.

"Like I said, it was the backlash from my magic. I tried to forcefully induce a vision when Fuegoleon's future started going hazy."

Nozel stiffened beside her.

"What does that mean, exactly?"

Delphia shrugged. "It hasn't completely disappeared, so he won't be dying. From past experience, it's because he'll be at a crossroads and have to make a choice at some point. Depending on that choice, his future could go either way. I won't be able to see his future until he passes that crossroad."
