"I don't feel so good." Ajax groans as he slumps himself along the chair in the Cour Airport of Fontaine.

You gaze back at your brother before a person walks past you and up to the ginger.

"Navia !" His face lights up as he sees the blonde haired racer peer in front of him. It's Navia Di Rosula, the breathtaking singer and rookie from the RoseNMuskets stable, who had made quite the impression during her first official Grand Prix back in Port Ormos. — "How are ya ?"

"Rather excited." She laughs, pulling him up by the arm. "Racing in my own hometown seems fun."

"Step back, Itto's back in town !" A tall white-haired man, whom you instantly recognise shouts out at the top of his lungs.

"It seems like everyone has decided to meet up in the Cour Airport." A fourth person declares, and you notice a raven braid hanging from their side, along with a few mauve streaks. "Is it not the case ?"

There's a mole beneath her right eye and red eyeshadow along her lashes. You know that you've seen these features before.

The Ritou Grand Prix. Duchess Raiden.

Why was she here ?

She walks to you. And Ajax. You freeze, not knowing what to expect. Your eyes look down to her seemingly moving lips, in shame.

"Miss Di Tartaglia ?" You snap your head, and her voice rings to your ears as a reminder of who she is. Or so, you thought. "Is something the matter ?"

"Not at all, your highness." You enunciate, bobbing your head down as a sign of respect. "I apologise for the sudden blackout."

Raiden's eyebrows furrow at the title, before her expression softens. "There must be a misunderstanding."

She marks a small pause.

"I am no royal. I do mot deserve the title of highness. — Many mistake me for my elder sister, Raiden Makoto. She is the Inazuman Duchess, but since we do look very much alike, many people mistake us for one another. — Unfortunately, she has passed away. We have set up a lookalike android to govern the nation of Inazuma instead, along with the rest of the government."
