NOZEL LOOKED AT ME AS I LAID IN HIS BED. He hugged me tightly, as if when he let go, I would disappear. Never to be seen ever again. I guess the story he told me.. it opened wounds that have previously already have been slightly healed.

I guess him telling that poured some salt into the wound, didn't it? But.. Atleast I was able to understand my own lover more. Atleast I was able to fight through Mereoleona with words.

I heard Mereoleona looked up to Auntie Acier a lot. Before she gave birth to Noelle, she was given flowers when she was visited by Mereoleona and Fuegoleon. Fuegoleon was much softer before that, and he cried when he knew she was about to die.

Acier was ever able to return to the battlefield after her pregnancy with Noelle. Afterall, she was severely weakened because from what I have heard, childbirth can be really hard on the body.

Auntie Acier was one of the most valuable Magic Knights of her time. She told Mereo what a mother is. I.. have never experienced what it was like to be hugged by my mother, atleast now. I never have seen her fully, I have never gotten the chance to engrave her face into my memories.

From Nozel's story, I can tell that Auntie Acier's title as a mother was what she valued above anything else. It was not being a wife, a sister, a daughter.. it was being a mother to her children.

Nozel. He wants everything to stay constant. He wants everything to stay with him forever. Atleast, the people and the things that are really, really precious to him. "I wanna teach you what forever feels, you ass." I said to Nozel, hugging him back tightly as the sun started shining in the room.

The Royal Knights Selection Test has finally come today.. well, in a few hours, rather. Nozel and I will go together, since we're too lazy to even get up and start getting ready.. How I love lazy mornings.

I stood by Mimosa, who was starting to get affected by some Purple Orca dude who was so ready for the test. Seeing how much discomfort he's causing, I'm ready to say so many things.

I turned to look at him, my face blank. The audacity. "Excuse me," I said, crossing my arms as I glared at him. "Letting even a tiny bit of magic out will affect those around you." I said as his magic started to dissipate, his shoulders flattening as he looked down in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry." He said as I turned to Mimosa, clicking my tongue at how he acted — no regard to other people. 

I looked up at where I once looked during the Magic Knights' Exam, which is where the Captains once stood. Thinking about everything, I think Mimosa will get in. Afterall, she's the Mimosa Vermillion, someone who has proved their exceptional healing prowess.

Basically a battlefield healing princess. She has learned many offensive spells lately, though. Which proves that she deserves a spot in the Royal Knights.

Able to use all types of magic, or something like that. It certainly proves she is royalty. And sometimes, I really swear that sometimes, you don't know who is royalty because they show up almost everywhere.

Seing royalty these days isn't really that amazing, since you see them almost everyday. Especially since almost all of them are already Magic Knights.  

Heavy footsteps approached Mimosa and I, they were graceful and had a sense of urgency. "Don't cause any unnecessary disputes before the exam." Klaus said sternly, shaking his head at me with a frown. He stopped before me, side-eying me.

"You actually said a 'tiny bit of power' to your senior." He said sternly, pushing his glasses up like always. "You're as thoughtless and rude as ever." He said.
