--Night Before the Blood Sky Phenomenon--
Under the bright, shining light of the moon, Seraphion, the King of Valhalla, walks down the prisoners' corridor to meet the former warlord of the Evil King. He is accompanied by two of his right-hand men and the captain of the elite knights, the Seven Pillars of Light. The corridor would have been dark if not for the moon and the guards watching from every unexpected direction.
The two right hands of Seraphion are twins from the Sky Resident race. One is named Vian Pollux de Geminos, and the other is Anda Castor de Geminos. Although Anda is the older sister, Vian shines brighter in terms of military achievements. However, Anda holds no grudge against her; instead, she supports her younger sister in becoming the brightest and is content to follow as the second.
Vian has bright golden hair with dark orange gradients. She wears the Sky Residents' military outfit, featuring short trousers and black stockings. Her agile personality requires a more flexible outfit to match her combat style.
Anda has bright white hair with dark blue gradients. She wears the same Sky Residents' military outfit, but with a long skirt due to her shyness and her supportive combat style, assisting her younger twin sister. Her elegant personality makes her a role model for her twin sister.
Thus, the twin sisters guard Seraphion from the front, while Lysander covers his back. No one else in the Kingdom of Valhalla is trusted to guard Seraphion's back besides Lysander. His loyalty to the king and his dependable personality have earned him this trust.
"Lysander, can you tell me once again what kind of person Malakar is?" Seraphion ask.
"Malakar is a man with rational thoughts, calm and aware of his surroundings. He's more mature than he looks, he also has no worldly wants in his eyes." Lysander explain.
"No worldly wants, eh? I'm sorry but that doesn't answer my question."
"Pardon me, your highness. If I were able to ask, what kind of answer did you want to hear?" Lysander confused.
Seraphion then turn his head and look at Lysander face, "Quite simple actually, I just want to know whether he's an easygoing person or stubborn ones."
The King's question left Lysander deep in thought. He keeps hearing Malakar's words about wanting to stop fighting by "ending the story," as he claimed. Deep in his heart, Lysander cannot accept Malakar's justification for killing the person he admired most. But when he recalls the past events, the pain inflicted by Malakar's subordinates has already been avenged, and the reign of the Evil King has ended. Yet, when he met Malakar face to face, he still couldn't accept his return.
"Lysander... Earth to Lysander... Were you just daydreaming right now? I told you to watch my back how can you let your guard down?" Seraphion, The King of Valhalla, wakes Lysander from his thoughts.
Shocked, Lysander had let his guard down by getting lost in his thoughts. He forgot why he was there, all because of a simple question from his king. Lysander immediately began apologizing for his carelessness, but the king had no interest in his apology. Instead, the king remained focused on the question he had asked earlier.
"So that kind of person Malakar is, huh? Well, at least I'm quite get the gist of it." said Seraphion.
As they approached the chamber where one of the warlords was imprisoned, the melody of a piano echoed through the corridor. The prisoner inside the cage was playing Moon Sonata No. 26, composed by William Chapel, while humming a beautiful tune that mirrored the melody she played.
As the King and his subordinate entered the chamber, a giant birdcage became visible—this was the prison for the warlord. Although the bars were wide open, the warlord could not escape due to sealing magic that prevented the use of magic and blocked any way out. Inside the cage, a giant tree stood at the center, surrounded by a staircase leading to the top. At the very top of the tree sat the warlord, playing the piano provided by the King.
