" うそつき  "
━━━━━━

"Ozvaldo, hurry now. We must vanquish the beast that has doomed the land." The Prinzessin der Verurteilung, Fischl ordered her night raven, striding out of Monstadt to meet the supposed Unlucky Bennett.

"mein fräulein, I do suppose that we have to take a small rest."

"Haste Oz! My people must be liberated from the curse from the heavens, and thou must seek the boy that is cursed by the worl-" Fischl yelped as a night colored snake slithered past her.

"Mein fräulein! You ghastly-" Before Oz could curse at the snake, a boy with unique snow-white hair came running towards them.

"Nyx! I demand you to return!!- oh dear me.." The boy with hair like snow scratched the back of his head sheepishly. Murmuring incoherent words. Fischl stared at him before her emerald eyes landed on a pitch-black vision hung by the boy's belt.

"Aah~ I greatly apologize for her." The boy said, glaring at the snake who circled Fischl before it rose to stare at Oz.

"Nyx Von Kaiserin!" Fischl tilted her head to what she thought was the snake's name. Immediately, the midnight serpent slithered to its master, wrapping around the albino haired boy's arm. They boy pinched the bridge of his nose, turning to glare at his Familiar. He muttered incoherently, but was clearly a chain of scolding statements. It amused the Prinzessin, but her interest was caught on the particular names and titles that the pair called eachother.

"Once again, I'm sorry that my familiar has startled you. Nyx." The boy hissed, to which the serpent faced Fischl.

"I apologize for my impertinence, fair Dame. And I apologize to you to Mein Schattenmeister." The snake hissed, making Fischl gape at the 'familiar'.

"I'm Noir, a Reisender from Sumeru and this is my familiar, Nyx." Noir rubbed his thumb on the midnight serpent, smiling sweetly at the Prinzessin. He slightly bowed to her, before quietly scolding his familiar once more. Fischl had the urge to pet the snake, but was slightly frightened of it, until it has apologized pleasantly.

"An emissary from the land of Wisdom? Well, I am Fischl von Luftschloss Narfidort, the Prinzessin der Verurteilung. This is my noble familiar, the night raven, Ozvaldo von Hrafnavines." Fischl flipped her hair while resting her hand on her hip. She was genuinely fascinated by the boy in front of her, accompanied by a speaking familiar. Admittedly, she had never met someone like him.

"Emissary? I am but a Traveler, not a diplomat." Noir chuckled, joking at the title given to him. His mere interest on the girl was due to her ancestry, but now he felt obliged to be interested on her.

'alike but different from Amelia...' he thought, recalling how the previous Prinzessin had acted. Amelia was Fischl's ancestor, and carried the title of Prinzessin der Rechtfertigung. The supposed princess of justice, as she called herself. Amelia had lived her life on being a hero, representing justice and equality among the lands, as she defended women and men alike. She had nearly became a female revolutionist and was a major feminists.

Thankfully her descendant was not one to try to cut of a mans pride just because he had made a mild insult to womanhood.

"Reisender of Sumeru, might you apprise me of the celestial orb you possess? A vision of the midnight pigment is not something to be seen, and as I know there is no vision of the abyssal color." Noir smiled blankly. Willing the shadow of his being, it rose to his hand.

Fischl stepped back, startled as the shadows twisted between his fingers. The spindle of darkness danced in his fingers, before vanishing under the dim light.
