Not a Competition

Approximately eleven years ago.

Because that day is Sophia's 10th birthday, Michael allowed her mother to visit her. Together with Eve and her siblings, they made a modest family lunch, without Michael, needless to say.

Sophia smiled all the time; then, after lunch, Eve approached her with a beautifully adorned box in her hands. "Happy birthday, little sister."

"Woah!!" Sophia's eyes sparkle with expectation as she quickly opens that box.

Inside the box, she finds a beautiful dagger with a red handle like her hair. Lucien and all his sisters are trained with all types of weapons, but Sophia focuses on healing skills, and so she is not really good with weapons besides not having much physical strength. However, a dagger is a perfect weapon for her because it is small, light, and not very complex to use.

"Thank you, big sis!!" Sophia hugs Eve while she is really happy for the red dagger.
