Life seems to have settled down in Sutrena. The school has begun operations, most damage from the heavy storm has been repaired, and Solis is growing up just fine too. However, the quiet never lasts for long. Prince Valen of Polpystan visits and brings with him his country's problems, like Myzahn's suspicious activity. Nazelbart does his best to keep himself in a neutral position, but will that work out? As Agnes and Nazelbart set off for the capital to celebrate the second birthday of Desnim's twin princes, Agnes worries about Kelly's unusual behavior. Something seems to be troubling the handmaiden, but she isn't the type to bother others with her problems. Fortunately our heroine isn't one to back down from a challenge, even if said 'challenge' is lending an ear to her good friend.

Prologue


Inside a tower illuminated by a pale half-moon, Prince Rivage Myzahn was currently testing out new magic. The walls were made of timeworn stone, and the flames of torches placed across the room swayed, casting the shadows of the people inside.

While Rivage was using magic, his older brother, the king, sat on a wooden chair across from him.

As a result of their cooperation, Rivage’s older brother had become the king by taking the position from their father; a common occurrence in Myzahni history. Rivage helped his brother, and by working together, the two of them had maintained the barren desert country of Myzahn to this day. The king looked similar to Rivage but also possessed a powerful presence. Rivage had always idolized his half brother. If he so desired, he could even obtain a saint’s magic and invade Polpystan. Rivage didn’t trust another soul, but his brother was the exception.

Everyone else had been ordered to leave, so the two of them were currently alone in this room. After Rivage finished testing out various things with magic, he turned to his brother.

“How is it, elder brother? Apparently, this is the psychosomatic purification magic possessed by Robin, the one said to be ‘close to a saint’ in Desnim.”

The king was going along with Rivage’s ma
