The King's Encouragment

Chapter 15. The King's Encouragement
Just as promised Bella was ready at the front steps of the Silver Eagles headquarters by 7:40 she had already had a light breakfast of porridge and berries and she was dressed simple but it appeared for the occasion.

She had a long sleeve dark purple shirt, dark grey pleated skirt, black sheer stockings and her knee high black boots. She also had her bag stocked with her grimoire and dagger pulled to rest behind her back but it was hardly noticeable since it was covered by a black cloak, she also layered her Silver Eagles robe over herself.

She took a seat on a platform she had conjured when she arrived and waited for the Silvas to get there. She swung her feet as she hovered in the air and released a sigh.

"I hope they get here soon, it's kind of hot. Maybe I should change really quickly..."

Bella hopped off her platform and started to walk up the steps quickly to attempt to get to her room before the siblings made it out of the base doors. But just her luck the doors opened before she could even reach for the handle.

Nebra had a small smirk, "My my, where do you think you're heading Glass?"

To stay mature and civil, Belladonna gave her a smile, "I was just about to head inside to ensure that three of you were on your way. Wouldn't want it to seem like I was waiting on my senpais." Bella bowed and moved to hold the door so Nebra could move away from the door frame.

After her Solid came through and rolled her eyes, she had to resist the urge to say something about the ugly sneer he had plastered on his lips. She only gave a genuine smile when her Captain walked through the door seconds after Solid.

He didn't see her smile though, he didn't even glance at her but she still walked behind him, the smile still present. He lifted his hand and with the slightest wave a mercury chariot-like platform appeared.

The four of them stepped on, Bella had grabbed a hold of the railing just to steady herself as they were about to take off. Once she felt that she had a better balance she let go, the Silver Eagle's headquarters weren't too far from where they needed to be anyways so it's not like they would be long.

But she did feel kind of awkward, Nozel was in the front of the platform and his siblings took both his sides as they talked across them, and Bella sort of stayed at the very back, and no longer bothered listening to them.

She sighed, 'I hope I'll see Asta or maybe Charmy. I really don't wanna be stuck with the two stuck ups... and Nozel will most likely have other captains to speak with, being a captain himself.'

Bella couldn't help but roll her eyes at herself for not having any friends, but it wasn't her fault. She just hasn't had the chance to make them.

The sweat that had formed on the back of her back earlier had disappeared, the breeze from flying so fast cooled her down, but now that they were slowing down again her robe, skirt, and hair didn't flow so aggressively.

She swore she could hear Asta yelling so she leaned a bit over to look down and saw that they had already reached the Wizard King's castle, Nozel started to lower them down a long while before the entrance.

The three Silvas stepped off and Solid and Nebra had already started to walk ahead, but Nozel stayed and waited for her to step off. She gave him a smile since he had waited for her and they started to make their way.

"How come you dropped us so far? Couldn't we have just gotten down right in front of the entrance?" she asked. From the corner of her eye she could see him look down at her, "Hm. I suppose an entrance like that would be grand. I'll take that into account next time." he nodded.
