A princess' demands

Yuno's POV

[A day after Nightshade's appearance]

I had been in those wizards' estate when I'd heard of the attack on Helianthus' imperial palace. To think I would only sit idly by in my own comfort while Sol and her little friends faced off Nightshade's Ri Shālli. Oh well, it was their fault for putting me away.

Like the usual, I was reading the Flos history in their library when the duke's second son, Lucius he was called, came to inform me of what went on during the last night of their festival. It turned out my rather lax imprisonment in this large but suffocating mansion would only be brief.

The happenings last night had forced their royal highnesses to hold my trial sooner than intended. And now, they could not help but want to know what Kairos' plans were. For after all, they had let the Essence, a force of nature so powerful, to clumsily slip out of their grasp.
