The Butterfly Effect [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 1.03 ー A Contract for Her

❀✿

Hᴀʀᴜᴋᴀ

A silent hum erupted from inside of me. As if I was awoken from a dream that lacked imagination. There were few things I knew about myself then, and that was that my identification was Haruka2.0, I wasn't alone, and there was a gap in my thought process. My eyes slowly rendered the setting.

Tekonn Castle, Room 42

Status: Wedding of Sora K. and Prince Tomoe Yamada of Tekonn

Results: Deficient

I then saw a human male sitting cross-legged beside me. His physical appearance made him appear to have honey-blonde hair, chrome diopside-colored eyes and a moderately athletic build. He was familiar. I identified him, and learned:

Tomoe Yamada

Alias: Tekonn Prince, etc.

Age: 16

Personality: Coquettish, Honest, ?

Status: Dazed and confused

Temperament: Choleric

I would have to update the information on him as I advanced.

I was given a concerned smile in return, as he said "I should be asking the same thing." Though his voice suggested he was in control of the situation, it was obvious that he didn't know what to say next. It was my queue to take action.

Then, I speedily stood, and spun slowly, inspecting the entire room. Debris, glass shards, lack of heat signature, scattered miscellaneous items that belonged to aristocratic families and the faint scent of ash. Conclusion: Demonic Intrusion.

"Have any demons passed through here lately?" I stated, hopefully in a polite tone. His eyebrow slightly raised, and he forged a chuckle. "Maybe we should introduce each other firs−

"Tomoe Yamada," I interrupted.

He smirked. "Haruka," then he continued, in a matter-of-factly tone, "Akki Shadou passed through here, in search of my supposed-to-be bride. I'm glad he made off with her, wherever they are now." I easily detected that as suspicious activity. I then researched on this 'Shadou':
