On a clear summer day in the Skogfjord Capital of Los Cielo Kingdom, at the Royal Palace, King Skyler and his brother Martino, were busy with the daily overwhelming paperwork.

"Phew...who says it's easy being a king, we haven't even finished half of it. If I didn't get your help, I won't even be out of this chair until morning."

"It's ok, brother. It's just documents, I'll help you out. When I was in Oceania, I had the similar job. I'm used to it now."

"Martino, can't you use your magic to work it out?"

"Brother, even if I'm the sorcerer of light, I can't use it for personal matter ... but, why don't you call another 'Skyler' to help us out too?"

"Eh!? You!? ... When did you!? I thought no one knows!"

"I've known for a while. You use father's magic spellbook to travel across dimensions to parallel universes, right? Don't forget that I'm the only magician in our bloodline. If someone here secretly uses a spell to do something, I'll know. And one more thing, even though you guys are the same, I can remember you! You have a specific scent."

"....Martino, you remember my scent? I got goosebumps. I hope you're not secretly stealing my clothes and sniffing on them?"

"I'm not doing that! I remember it since we met in Oceania! I had you in custody all day and night."

"Ah, true. You were possessed by Satan back then. I almost forgot how lewd you were at that time..."

"What's past is in the past, brother! Oh! Father has come!"

While the two brothers were talking, the spirit of King Axel appeared.

"Hey kids! Are you busy? Oh, my little king, how's the job? Skyler, how's the King's routine? Weirdly boring, isn't it? I had been busy with these documents all day since Grandfather's days."

"Father~! Can't you help us? You're probably better than us in this matter."

Daniel groaned, while rubbing his tired eyes and stretching his wrists after having signed a large piles of documents all day

"Come on Skyler, don't forget, now your signature is the most sacred. All documents are not complete unless it's in your hands. And besides, now I'm a spirit, haha."

"Martino ~ can you use magic to rejuvenate your father's body ~?"
Daniel gave a pleading look to his brother.

"Uh.. such a thing. It has to depend on the spirit, brother."
Martino replied with a hesitant look on his face.

"My my, this kid! Are you not going to let me rest!? Come on, it's the way of a King. Even now the city became so peaceful and prosperous, you know? During the Civil War, your grandfather often has to leave the city to fight the cities restoring sovereignty. Not to mention the neighboring kingdom that wants our land. For my younger siblings and my safety, Grandfather sent me to the royal boarding school in Michedorf Kingdom, and my younger siblings to the outback islands."

"Ah! I've also heard stories during the war. So you had to live abroad since you were little like Martino, right?"

"No, I went to Michedorf during high school and there I met Lucas Immanuel and also your mother."

"Mother? I can't even remember her face. ....Father! Can you tell us about it? I would like to know more about Mother and Father Lucas." Martino asked Axel, excited.

"Yes, my son! ... A lot had happened since the day you were born. I wasn't really being a good father in the past .... Skyler, come join us too. You want to take a break, right? Oh! Open the drawer at your desk. There is a photo album that I've kept since I was the crown prince. This should be a good time for you guys to see it."
