Lawrence's POV:
Today marks a significant day in the history of our kingdom, as it is the day when this nation was discovered by Delonoticus Vector, a renowned explorer and chemist. For us knights, who will likely be tasked with guarding and exploring this newfound land. It remains to be seen what lies in store for us in Deladolpheous, but one thing is for sure - our duty and responsibilities have just increased manifold.
"Hey there, Captain!" A knight stood straight and saluted. The other knight also followed what the first knight did.
The whole nation was decorated from head to toe by the people and by the knights.
It took us a whole week to prepare for this festival.
Neko was running to me at full speed and said. "I bought the flowers that you requested" he catches his breath. Yor looked at me, crossed her arms and asked.
"Is that for the Prince?" I immediately denied her question and planned an escape.

???'s POV:
The people of this nation are mostly dressed in white. I wonder if that colour would remain the same if I kill them one by one and then... the Prince in front of their eyes. Then that would mean Erdonix would finally accept me as the strongest.

Yuto's POV:
After hours of meticulous preparation, we were finally ready to kick off the much-awaited festival. An hour later, the festivities began in full swing. The Heart of Deladolpheous was teeming with excited crowds from all over the kingdom, eager to partake in the revelry. The Knights were out in full force, patrolling the area to ensure everyone's safety.
The healers were stationed at their posts, ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. The merchants had set up their colourful stalls, displaying their wares and enticing the visitors with their exotic goods. And the chefs were busy dishing out scrumptious delicacies, filling the air with tantalizing aromas that made one's mouth water. All in all, it was a vibrant and bustling scene, with something for everyone to enjoy.
As I was sipping my verjuice and enjoying the festivities of the day, I heard a familiar voice from behind. I quickly turned around to see that it was Lawrence, the captain of the Xior Knights.
"Enjoying the party?" he asked with a smile.
"Captain! A pleasant day to you," I greeted him warmly. "Yes, this festival is turning out to be great, just as Father and I planned."
We chatted for a while, catching up on recent events and laughing about old times. It was good to see him again and I was grateful for his company on this beautiful day.
As I sat by the campfire with Lawrence, I noticed a strange feeling creeping up on me. It was a feeling that I had experienced before, a sense of unease that I couldn't quite shake off. I looked towards the gate and there it was - a familiar aura that I had encountered in the past. The atmosphere around us suddenly shifted, and the sky seemed to darken as if we were about to encounter something ominous. My heart started to race as I wondered what was lurking just outside the gate, and whether we were truly safe in this secluded spot.

Third Person's POV:
As the entire crowd gathered around, they were all taken aback by the sudden change of environment. Everyone was confused and bewildered, wondering what was happening around them.
It was then that Yuto, the prince, stepped forward, and his eyes started emitting a brown glow. It was clear that his powers were at play, and it must have something to do with the Mundus element, which is associated with earth.
In response, Lawrence, activated his Antra Sture, which is an ice-based power. Suddenly, a flag with a short fly appeared in his hands, and he held it with utmost grace and determination.
The other knights present there also prepared themselves for battle. They wielded their weapons and got ready to face whatever challenge lay ahead. However, they soon realized that something was holding them back. Their bodies wouldn't budge, and it felt like they were stuck in place. It was as though an invisible force was stopping them from moving forward.
In the stillness of the night, a faint sound of clapping can be heard from the distance, gradually growing louder with every passing moment. The shadows begin to shift, and out of the darkness emerges a tall, imposing figure with brown hair that falls in waves around his shoulders. His eyes are fixed on a distant figure, and without a moment's hesitation, he takes off at a breakneck pace. As he approaches the figure, he calls out with a voice that echoes through the night air, "I finally found you, Yuto!" The intensity of the moment builds as the two men come face to face, their eyes locking in a fierce stare that seems to last an eternity.
"Who is he?" Lawrence asked.
".......Zayn Verno, the 5th Descendant" With a sharp expression of anger on his face, Yuto turned towards Zayn and replied in a tone that betrayed his annoyance and frustration. The intensity of his glare was enough to convey his displeasure, and it was clear that something had triggered his reaction to Zayn's words or actions.
"So you still remember me?" Zayn questioned, his gaze locked solely onto Yuto.
Instead of answering Zayn's question, Yuto's eyes turned white, and in the blink of an eye, the crowds and Knights around them disappeared, leaving only Yuto, Lawrence, and Zayn. After a second, Yuto's eyes turned back to brown indicating that he was ready to use Mundus
"Can you fight?" Yuto questioned Lawrence.
"Hell yeah," Lawrence confidently replied.
