Yuno quietly finished packing his things at the Golden Dawn. After the battle with Lucius and Captain Fuegoleon Vermillion became the new Wizard King, Asta was given the option of either staying in the Black Bulls or lead his own squad, and Yuno was the new Captain of the Golden Dawn with his girlfriend Neva being his Vice Captain.

But one day, his birth mother Ciel came to him with a request. The people of her court were 'requesting' that she name an heir to the Spade Throne before she got any older and they decided who the heir would be. So she asked if he would consider leaving Clover, his friends, family, and squad, to go to Spade and become the next King.

Yuno had been taken aback by Ciel's request, and hadn't been sure how to answer her. So he asked for some time to think about it, and she granted it. For the past few weeks he had been going back and forth on what he should do, he talked to Asta, Captain Vangeance, and finally Neva.

" What does your gut say? Because I know your head and heart are saying different things." Neva said softly as she looked out the window thoughtfully.

Yuno rubbed the back of his head. His brain was telling him that it would make more sense for him to go to Spade and do some good there, while his heart was telling him to stay in Clover with everyone he cared about.

But his gut...his gut wasn't sure which way to go.

" I...don't know..." he admitted as he tried to think, Neva turned to look at him and gave him a small smile.

" I think you do, you just haven't realized it yet." Neva said as she patted him on the shoulder and walked away, leaving him alone with his thoughts.

He hadn't realized it at the time, but she was right, his gut already made its decision.

He would go to Spade and become King.

After Yuno made his decision, he told his birth mother and his squad. He watched as a wave of relief washed over Ciel's face, and a mixture of sadness and happiness washed over his friends and family. He turned to look at Neva's expression and his eyes widened a bit.

Her face was unreadable. She didn't look happy, or sad, or angry. It had been a long time since her face held an expression like this, and it was one of the many expressions that the two shared. It was like she put on a mask so no one could tell what she was thinking.

Over the next few weeks Yuno had named Neva his replacement as Captain and instructed her to choose a Vice Captain. But she wasn't as happy as he thought she would be. She didn't smile, she didn't say 'thank you', actually she didn't say a word during the announcement. She just nodded and walked away.

He told Asta and their family at the orphanage, which was met with many tears from the children and Father Orsi. He told Fuegoleon Vermillion, the new Wizard King, about his plans. Fuegoleon had said he was sad to see him go, but understood, and was looking forward to working with Spade in the future.

It had been very busy getting everything in order, but now all he needed to do was pack his things. He admittedly didn't have much, but he made sure he left nothing behind. Not the gifts his friends and family gave him, his photos and sketches, and his Golden Dawn uniform.

Yuno walked out of his room and shut the door quietly behind him. He walked around the Golden Dawn base one last time before he handed the last of his things to the Spatial mage Ciel had sent to help him.
