『There was once a boy who had a father, mother, and younger sister. They were twins, born under the shining moon on the sixteenth of August.
Having golden hair resembling his father's, eyes shimmering like rubellites whenever he smiled. Pinky promis...
"Even after everything that happened. Even when I tried to forget, how come I couldn't?"

"Felix," Claude called out to the knight who was busy filing papers. The redhead jerks his head at his name.
"Come here for a moment," the Emperor orders. His finger taps his desk while his quilt pen lays on a piece of paper.
"What is it, Your Majesty?" Felix inquires, doing what he was ordered.
"I need you to get information about someone," Claude replies, eyes staring down at the blank piece of paper.
"Who is it, Your Majesty?" Felix questions. "Is it a Noble? Or a citizen?" He proceeds, listing some options for a second.
"A child," was Claude's abrupt reply, not missing a beat.
Felix was dumbstruck. "Eh?" That left his mouth, widened gray eyes that swiftly turned to the unimpressed Claude. "Y-your Majesty, can you repeat?" He fumbles out, his posture shaken.
Claude glances at him with darkened eyes. He had a dissatisfied expression on his God-like visuals.
"Felix, are your ears getting bad?"
He sighs, brows now furrowed.
"Let me repeat– I need information on a child. Name is Arius. He should be easy to find since that name is definitely rare in Obelia," Claude claims, his finger tapping intensifying.
It took Felix a minute to comprehend all that was said. And when he did, he gave a hesitant nod before making his way out of the room. No greeting whatsoever, not that Claude minded.
The clock ticked, Claude's slightly frustrated face now returning to its blank state. Felix came back, though shaken up, with a folder in his hand.
"Your Majesty," Felix calls out, his cheek sunken in. "Here's what we have about the child..." Felix barely finished, hands clenching around the new folder.
"Hm, read it out loud," Claude authorizes, gaze elsewhere but his ears were wide open.
Felix clears his throat first, his composure returning with the air of a knight once again surrounding him.
"Full name, Arius Callista. Age, seven. Birthday, August sixteen–"
Claude perks up at this.
"His parents aren't known around the town since he just arrived with his guardian three months ago. Despite that, he has already gained friends and is well known as the Leaf boy since he's often found in Garrán."
Felix took a breath, the information already filling up Claude's curiosity. 'So he really did have friends...' He ponders about the talkative child, 'And Leaf boy?How childish.'
