Vol 2. Chapter 0: Prologue
A distinguished guest had arrived at the Dyfenril Ducal Estate.
Ray Lavendal, the second son of the Lavendal Duchy—the House of Water—who had already been designated heir.
He bore the Divine Beast's mark and, though limited, could wield the Divine Beast of Water as well.
“Here.”
Ray offered tea with a gentle smile.
“I came to confirm one last thing. After all, your role in the ‘Entoho Operation’ is the most dangerous and the most important.”
It had been nine years since their days at the Academy. Ray was now a young man of twenty-two.
Unlike in his youth, he wore his short, sky-blue hair tied in a ponytail and round glasses perched on his nose.
But his pale, almost translucent skin and jewel-like blue eyes remained unchanged.
“I do feel a bit guilty for giving you such a risky task...”
Seated across from him with his legs lazily crossed was Zahid.
He had become Duke at the age of eleven and had rapidly built the Dyfenril Duchy into what it was now.
