[3 Years ago, In a Faraway Farm]

A girl on the farms was playing with his younger siblings, at the time she was 22, with her was her friend Svanhild, the farm neighbour, next to them.

They were laughing and happily playing around, then Svanhild heard the doorbell, "Nathalie I heard your doorbell now,  you should go and check on them, I will watch over the kids".

With a smile, Nathalie answered, "Ok, I will open it", on her way she walked towards the door, she Yelled, "Father... someone is on the door, maybe it's for you", at the second floor her dad answered, "Open it, I will come down in a second".

Nathalie opened the door, "Yes, welcome", she said, she saw a man and woman, the man with a suit and the woman formally dressed, "Oh my... what a beauty, you look so beautiful, we just need to teach you to be more formal".

Nathalie didn't understand her and looked at her with a wonderous expression, then the man, made a noise, "Ehm... sorry we are here to meet your father, is Mr Margit here?", "Oh... yes he is, actually he is just coming downstairs".

Mr And Mrs Margit, came down the stairs and welcomed the guests to their home, with the guests was a boy, a fat boy around the age of 20, he looked down on everyone, "Nathalie could you please leave us, take your friends and siblings upstairs", "Yes father".

[Nathalie's Room]

Svanhild asked Nathalie while combing her golden hair, "Nathalie how are you so beautiful, I have never seen a beauty like yours", Nathalie's siblings were on her bed, they were two, a brother and sister, "Yes sister is beautiful, I wanna be like her when I grow up", Said Nathalie's sister then her brother said, "I wanna marry someone like you when I grow up sister, kind and beautiful".

"What, dude you can't say that it was weird", said Svanhild, Nathalie answered them, "My beauty is a gift from the Lord in the heaven and I am thankful, don't worry sister we both are gifted so I believe you will become even more beautiful than me and you shrimp...", "Hey, I am not that small", Everyone laughed, "I was kidding but I truly pray for you, I wish nothing but the best of spouse for you".

[DOWN STAIRS]

"Thanks for coming, bye", the guest had just left and then Mr Margit called Nathalie down.

Nathalie and Svanhild were sitting on the sofa, Mrs. Margit put the kids to sleep.

"My child please understand I want nothing but the best for you and our family", Nathalie nervously asked, "What's wrong dad, is something wrong".

Sighed Mr Margit, "You do know about our financial state, and Mr Gullin, was here today to offer us his help so that we don't lose the farm nor the company", "Well I am glad for you dad", answered Nathalie, with a smile.

Svanhild on the other hand had a shocked face and Nathalie asked her, "What's wrong Svanhild? is something going on here?", Svanhild shook Nathalie, "Nathalie don't play dumb here, open your mind, he is using you as a payment method, he is trying to sell you to that fat pig".

"Svanhild sit down", Screamed Mr Margit and Mrs Margit was behind the door listening and crying, Nathalie was so shocked, her eyes were wide open and she asked, "Is that true dad?", remembering the face of the boy, with the guests earlier, she cried, "You would give me to that man", "I am sorry my child times are rough, I wish I could've said, take your time to think about it but I am afraid you have no choice here", the father stood up and on the doorsteps he said, "The Wedding is already scheduled, on January 1st, 3000, you will get married, thanks and good night".

Mr Margit took Mrs Margit with himself, she was crying but he didn't show a single emotion and took her.

Svanhild took her in a hug and said, "Don't worry Nathalie, I will ask my father to find a way and stop this", Nathalie's whole dream was crushed, the only option at the time was for her to become a poor girl on the streets with beauty or become a slave for a noble family for the rest of her life.

And that was the case until then but when the magic reappeared in the world her marriage schedule was delayed due to the disaster in the lands, after being encouraged by Svanhild to join the Magic School of Dragsa, for the students who go there new rules apply for them, rules that even nobles can't escape the king's rule is beyond them all, Svanhild was right and the school promised to help her family if she becomes best of the best in her school.

[PRESENT DAY, DRAGSA SCHOOL]

Svanhild and Nathalie were happily jumping around the poster which had their names, "We did it, haha...", Said Svanhild, then Nathalie answered, "Yes, it's all thanks to you my friend, without you I don't know what would have happened, now", Svanhild then said, "If we came face to face the finale I will just give up and give you the win", "Thanks Svanhild, you are my best friend forever".

[POSTER]

Near them were twins, looking at them, "Look Gerold, they look so happy that they were chosen", Said the twin sister, Gerold took her sister in the arm and said, "Don't worry, we are better, ever since we were born, we were specials".

The girl twin then asked, "I heard her say that she would lose for her friend if they came face to face, would you do that too brother", Gerold took her and walked her away, under his shoulder, he took her, "Oh you silly Hildr, I would never let you lose, when we came face to face I will give up too, don't give it too much thought though, let's go and have a breakfast".

"Brother I love to eat... hmm...", Gerold laughed and said, "Silly choose when you read the menu, haha...", "Ok, brother".

[YEARS AGO]

23 years ago, In the noble Rochus family, in the Rochus family twins were considered unlucky pers, that would decrease the wealth and the life span of those around them, they were seen as destruction, destroyers of the surrounding.

When the Rochus Siblings were born, their life was threatened by the Rochus family members, but their father didn't want to kill them and protected them by the excuse that their mother is from a higher noble family, the Thorsen and it would bring about a war, for blood was important, they saw it as pride.

But after an accidental incident, both the father and mother died, the two 8 years kids were left alone and after a long and many courts between the Rochus and Thorsen families.

The Rochus won the kids and their inheritance, till the age of 14 the kids were living peacefully with their wealth but then the Rochus family, tricked them into giving up their money to the Rochus for some political reasons, the lie was that every Rochus member has given their wealth to for the main family to succeed and then later returned by the double.

It was all a lie, just after a week they become maid and servant in the main Rochus family, Gerold was devastated, for his sister was unstable and ill, she had some brain problems, which made her work slower and think slower, "I promise to protect you, sister".

Hildr was always getting beaten up even by the maids, they were all ordered to treat them as devil's bad luck, they were nothing but small kids who didn't understand the outside world and were tricked into this slavery.

That all changed when the magic reappeared, a knowledge that was passed down to Gerold and Hildr, in that night, the Rochus family were all gathered.

The nobles who had this knowledge, managed to control themselves unlike the outside world, which was In disaster, they saw the doors open, no maids nor a servant had remained, they were angry that no one was answering them.

They saw the doors open blue eyes in the darkness that shined like the moon, a wand in his hand, the lights went off, next to him was a girl, they were both 22 of age, Nickname, "The Rochus Twins".

Gerold killed every single last one of them with the magic he had inherited, the next day a soldier came, who was sent to check on them.

"This magic, did someone have a grudge against the Rochus family", the soldier who was the king's soldier and knew what magic is, only saw the bones of the people, "Who are you two", the soldier said, when he saw The Rochus Twins, reaching to his wand, "You are in the presence of the last Rochus, soldier".

"The last Rochus did you kill those people? If so why? Killing nobles was a grave mistake, the Rochus family were supposed to be at the conference with the king last night so I was sent to see what had happened".

"The Rochus family made the grave mistake not us, they killed my parents and enslaved us took from us everything, we had, we wanted to live freely like human beings but it seems even after removing the threats against me and my sister there are still more threats to be eliminated".

"What should I do, The king gave me the decision to do whatever I want with the Rochus, for they violated the king's order, the king will soon make school and they seem to be fit for that school", thought the soldier.

Gerold on the other hand raised his wand to the sky and yelled, "Open your doors and let your spear fall on the threats before me, use my mana to destroy my enemy", "What the hell are you doing", Said the soldier.

A gate opened and a spear of fire came down at him, the soldier pointed his wand at the spear, yelling, "Waters of heaven come out and protect the loyal knight of the king", water burst out and hit the fire.

After the Clash, the spear had vanished but the smoke was all over the place, the soldier was behind Gerold and Hildr, "You will be fine subjects for the king".

Gerold was shocked as he heard him from behind and both twins were knocked out.

Later Gerold found himself in the ceremony test and protecting his sister, he killed every single student that was threatening her life.

"I will protect you forever my little darling".
