Five years ago, after hundreds of years of the tyrannical rule, the Arcadia Empire was overthrown in a coup d'etat. Many only know of a Black Machine Dragon that achieved this, but there were two. A lesser known White Machine Dragon with untraceable...
Lux and (Y/N) walk to the dorms, as (Y/N) tells Lux to go to the dorm first. (Y/N) now sits waiting in the lounge area. He lays down, thinking about something, before closing his eyes.
'Even as a knight...I couldn't protect anyone...Instead, I slaughtered them all...' says (Y/N) in his thoughts.
*The day of the coup d'etat*
Lux is seen kneeling on the ground, screaming at Fugil.
"Why? Why? WHY DID YOU KILL THEM?! I said to minimize the casualties...The Drag-Knights of the army, His Majesty the Emperor, everyone!" screams Lux. He looks over at (Y/n), whose back is leaning against the wall. His arms are limp, and his white sword device and clothes are covered with blood. "(Y/N), are you okay with this?!"
(Y/N)'s eyes are dull, and doesn't respond.
"KU-HAHAHAHAH!!" Fugil laughs manically and uncontrollably before stopping and looking at Lux. "You should be happy. (Y/N) deserves your respect. At this age, you control machine dragons better than anyone, but you choose not to kill. So (Y/N) took on that burden for you. He managed to put an end to this rotten empire. If he didn't kill them, I would've had no option but to call the Abyss using this 'flute,' But (Y/N) saved me and you from that trouble! You decided to betray me, so let me tell you something, stupid brother...From the beginning, I wasn't a prince of this empire. If I had let them live, they would have assassinated me and you sooner or later. My purpose of peace is something (Y/N), a true king, should hold. You are not in the Caliber of Kings...But rather the weakest!" Fugil picks Lux up and chokes him.

Lux gasps for air before (Y/N) slowly and weakly walks up to Fugil and grabs his arm.
"Fugil. Please stop...There's still more Drag-Knights that tried to escape," explains (Y/N).
Fugil looks at him before dropping Lux.
"You know nothing of the world! If you can't sacrifice anything, power has no meaning!" shouts Fugil. He turns to (Y/N) and starts to walk away, leaving Lux on the ground, losing consciousness.
"I'm sorry, Lux..." says (Y/N) before turning around and following Fugil.
"F-fugil...(Y/N)..." whispers Lux before he passes out.
*Back to the Lounge room*
(Y/N) wakes, sweating. Seeing the morning sun and a blanket over him.
"Good morning," says Krulcifer from the other couch.
"Krulcifer?!" shouts (Y/N).
"You were quite Hagridden...It's still early morning, you know? I don't think it's a good idea to shout too much," replies Krulcifer.
"Ah-h yes, sorry. My bad. But what are you doing in a place like this?"
"It isn't like the Lounge room is your private room. As for why I am here, I occasionally slip out of the dormitory to spend some time alone. And coincidentally, you were here as well. So I got to watch you sleep, cutey. That's all. Do you think that's a lie?"
