In a dark valley.
"I finally catched you!"Lucian smiled angrily at Aaron.
Aaron just looked at him feeling helpless. "I was just joking! Please spare me!"
Aaron curved his lips with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
"Haha. What kind of person do you think I am?"And with these words spoken only screams could be heard as a response."Ahhh Ouch!"

Small Inn.
In a small Inn the beat up Aaron and the happily smiling Lucian in disguise of a commoner were facing each other and exchanging informations.
"So what are your plans now? I heard that you won't go to the palace anymore and that for three years." Aaron asked.
Lucian took a sip of the freshly brewed green tea infront of him and sighed in satisfaction."Well, I plan to bring Ijekiel on our side. That poor dude shouldn't end up as the ultimate second lead."
"Hah, true even I think that he's quite pitiful. But is that all? Do you just want to get him on our side to play matchmaker?" Aaron raised his brows teasingly as he enquired further.
Lucian rolled his eyes at him. "Of course not, I mainly need him to achieve my plan. With him it will be a whole lot easier to get the stupid favour of the nobles and commoners." Lucian took one more sip of the tea before continuing,"As for the matchmaking part, it's also in our favour,afterall it's not good if his feelings for Athanasia grow even stronger."
Aaron nodded in agreement.
"But who should be the target of his new affection? Don't tell me you plan on matchmaking him with Jennette."Lucian gave him a disgusted look. "Of course not! Even though they aren't blood siblings it's still disgusting to matchmake two people that grew up together like siblings."
"Hey! Don't look at me like that!" Aaron felt really offended by the look Lucian gave him.
Lucian rolled his eyes and ignored that noisy idiot.
...
After a while they were done exchanging informations and roamed around the festive streets.
"Damn, it's already night but I couldn't even see the damn shadow of Ijekiel!" Lucian muttered, feeling annoyed.
Aaron who was beside him just hummed in response and enjoyed the delicious food he just bought.
When Lucian saw this he 'tsked' and and just turned his head away from him.
Seeing Lucian's reaction Aaron just shrugged his shoulders. "Why are you so tense? Just enjoy your time here. We will have more than enough chances to get closer to him even if it's no today then maybe tomorrow."
Also feeling this way Lucian gave up on encountering Ijekiel and decided to just enjoy the festival for now."Hah, alright, let's try out some archery games."
And so both of them tried out every archery game stall and got into a heated competition only arriving back at the manor when it was already late at night.

4 hours earlier.
A handsome youth of no more than 14 years with a little gentlemans aura and a soft expression was surrounded by brown haired npc's that were happily chatting with him.
Yes, obviously this was exactly the person Lucian and Aaron were looking for. But they had just missed him by a second.
Ijekiel wore the ever so resting gentle smile of his and looked around in enjoyment and couriosity. It was his first time visiting such a casual festival that commoners attended and he must acknowlege that it was much more fun than all those strict and pretentious banquet festivals that the nobles celebrated.
He wished he could share this new and fun experience together with his little angel that was always on his mind and in his heart. Yes, unfortunatly for Lucian who would soon also find out that Ijekiels so called deadly second lead crush on the female lead was already deep even tho they didn't have had that much contact yet. That truly could only be explained with novel logic that was as logical as anime logic.
But anyway as Ijekiel together with his friends roamed around the the festive streets they noticed a commotion on one of the archery stalls. Seeing that many people with cheerful expressions were crowding around the stall, they became curious and also decided to watch the fun.
As they approached they could hear the excecited cheers of the people and the crude words of the two protagonist of all that coomotion. It were two boys with fine looks and a otherworldly teperament, well that would be if they weren't cursing each other out while competing on who was the better archer.
The shorter one with shoulder length brown hair was curiving his eyes full of provocation towards the other youth who had his hair lazily tied up into a simple bun. "You Idiot I bet you can't even target three at the same time like I do even if you'd practized all your stupid life."
Lazy bun: "HAH? AREN'T YOU LOOKING DOWN ON ME TOO MUCH? I'LL SHOW YOU THIS PRI- PRINGLE'S SKILLS!"
Shorter youth: "Pringle? Are you an idiot?" The youth mocked him.
Lazy bun rolled his eyes and began to show his skills, he took on an elegant and stable posture and shoot three arrows at the same time towards the shooting target. Everyone held their breath especially those who betted on him. And to everyones surprise all three arrows hit the red dot on the target, after a breath silence many excited cheers were to hear.
"Wow that was amazing! His stand looked like that of a professional even though he doesn't seem to be much older than us, he should be around the same age." One of Ijkiel said.
The others might not know very well but he did. ' Is he a noble?' Ijekiel thought. The posture of the lazy bun guy was way to professionel and poweful. It looked like he was trained by great knight. If Ijekiel knew that lazy bun wasn't just trained by a great knight but by a great general crown princess he would be greatly shocked.
But just as he wanted to take a closer look at the two people they already were nowhere to be seen.
'They seem like interesting people. I hope to encounter them again.' Ijekiel thought as he turned around in the opposite direction to continue to roam around the market.
If Lucian and Aaron knew that they had missed Ijekiel for the second time already by only a hair strand they surely would go crazy.
