3 days after the incident, The news spread throughout the continent, and some suspected it as a coup attempt, and many people around Odgard became inspired by the idea.
Since then, The Capital and Other Major Cities had their security levels increased due to the suspicion of spies and even rebels lurking around. Since then, Princess Mineva, Duchess Mabel, and their Soldiers stayed in the city for the recovery effort in Cordia and the Capital before they were to head back home.
ASHERIA 20TH, 2200 MC
Today is their last day before they were to leave the country tomorrow. The Aenida Order and the Midguardians were waiting outside the Castle Halls since the 3 leaders are holding their planned meeting and with a new topic: regarding the mysterious lady, Solomon.
Everyone seemed to be doing their own thing, but Alonso didn’t want to end the day without knowing anything about the famous Midguardians.
“Well Then, Why don’t all of ya Introduce yourselves, Midguardians?” spoke Alonso, gaining everyone’s attention.
Sully seemed very eager to meet these powerful knights, while Oliver on the outside did not seem interested at the least, but deep inside, he was trying to calm down his excitement.
The Midguardians are an Elite Army of Knights, and only the best of the best are chosen to join. The Midguardians are especially very well known for their special units of cavalry, called “The Bergritter”, one of the most feared in the continent.
A Man in Black Armor in a white coat stepped up and replied,
“I am Gabriel von Claudius. I am a Head Scientist from Midgardius, merely just joining Lady Mineva to have a word with someone around here, but looks like that can wait...I run a small pharmaceutical company creating medicine via the power of Mana...The way how we unleash magic and prana every day is thanks to this very life force that is called Mana. Every day, I want to learn new things for my company, thus I travel with the Young Master, hoping in seeing...INSPIRATION!”
The Young knight was startled by the sudden change of attitude but replied, "So dramatic...But Really...? A battlefield to find inspiration?"
The Scientist nodded his head quickly up and down.
Oliver notices Gabriel's Tome then asked, "You are a...magic-user, yes? What's your Element?"
He replied, "Earth! Isn't magic...beautiful? There's so much we barely know about it...especially with Ubemagi- Ah!"
Oliver frowns. "Ubemagi?"
"M-mmm... Well...This is a thought, but I believe there is a possibility of Elema...well, combining into creating more sorts of...New types of Magic? It's just a crazy idea..."
Oliver stares at him for a good second, and replies,
"I see...That does sound....weird. But, If this helps with your medicine research, then I pray for your success."
He then gives a faint smile.
Gabriel smiles back behind his glasses. "Thank you so much....err?"
"Oliver."
Gabriel then looked at him for a good minute in what looked like dismay...until he nodded.
"Noted....Next! Who else would like to introduce themselves...Come on, don't be shy!"
Behind Gabriel, 3 Women stood by altogether. The Tall One then spoke, “My Name is Ishild Felsing. The 3 of us here are Sisters. We used to be a group of Mercenaries until we were hired By Princess Mineva herself in the past. Now, We are a part of the Midguardians as we promised to guarantee her safety, and to dedicate our lives to her.”
Then the Sister in the middle moved up. “I’m Klara Felsing. Pleased to meet you all.” She gently smiled.
Alonso blushed a bit. “She’s kinda cute....”
Then the Smallest One moved up and replied very casually, “Hey, I’m Sara. What’s up?”
Ishild then scolded her. “Sara….Show some manners.”
Sara then looked a little nervous. “Er...I’m Sara Felsing. Hope We get along...” She then got a little flustered, as she hates getting formal.
Ishild then spoke. “I hope we all can be of service to you all while we are here. Looking forward to working together in the future.”
Sully smiled brightly. “So Cool! Right, Oliver?”
Oliver chuckled and as he smiled, he thought to himself.
“Yeah… I wish I had siblings. I don't even know if I ever had a family before meeting Sully...or everyone here.”
Then a Man in White Armor stepped up, very energetic. Alongside him was a beautiful woman, with noticeable white hair, with strands of brown hair. She had a very gentle expression.
“I am Ewain Von Trausch! I am one of the Midguardians that serve under Princess Mineva’s Army. And this is my Best friend, Katarina Lene Fleiss! We've known each other for a while since we were kids! She's not a talkative person, but trust me, She's got a good soul. We fight for what is right."
He then looks at her and she speaks up softly with a smile:
"I-It is a pleasure to meet you all. I am an Ice Magician, One of the very few in Midgardius. One of my Grandparents was from Drust. I look forward to working with you all. Please treat us well."
Everyone smiled and thought,
"Wow, She's so refined and has a nice voice...."
Sully then asked, "Are you 2 dating? She really has nice manners, lucky you."
Katarina then turned away from the crowd in Embarrassment. Ewain laughed nervously.
"Um...No, But I like to keep our great relationship private for now. I hope you understand."
"Ahh...I'm so sorry."
Ishild chuckled and then shouted,
“Alright Who’s next….?”
Ishild then remembered. “Ah, and that tall man with Princess Mineva right now is Edward Alder Muller. He is the Country’s Tactician and a friend of the Previous King. You’ll see him in a bit.”
“I see….Well, I guess it’s our turn now.” Spoke Bruno.
Alonso then rushed and then held his arm around Bruno, taking him by surprise.
“I am Alonso del Medichi! This man here is my younger bro, Bruno del Medichi! And we are willing to fight for the greater good!” shouted Alonso in excitement, While looking to see if Klara was looking, But She didn’t react the way he hoped for.
But she then took a good look at them and said: “Nice to meet you, Medichi Brothers!” She smiled.
Alonso quickly looked away, trying not to show his blushed expression. “Tooooo cute!!!”, he thought.
Bruno sighed…. “I apologize for my brother’s actions…”
Then Cormac stood up. “I’m Cormac Udo. I...am a soldier that recently joined the Aenida Order, just as everyone else here next to me did. Pleased to meet you all.”
Ishild then thought to herself. “What?! All of these guys save the retainer over there…”
“I'm Sully Aurik!” he replied.
“...are new recruits? But they did really well the other day...I truly thought they were experienced in the Army already…”
“And I’m Theon Oliver Nado….But You can just call me Oliver.”
Sully then was shocked. “Oliver! I thought-”
Oliver whispered. “Shh...It’s fine. I don’t mind this time.”
"Is it because you're trying to show off?! Not fair!!"
"S-Shut up!! That's not-"
As the 2 bicker, When Gabriel heard this, He looked carefully at Oliver.
"That man...", he thought.
"I think he might be the one that they were looking for all this time. But I doubt they're interested in him at all."
Next to Gabriel, guarding the doors, Reinhardt spoke:
“I’m Reinhardt Achates Dominic. I am Aeneas’s Right Hand Man and General of the Calydon's UNO Branch, The Aenida Order. Nice to meet you, everyone.”
Klara blushed and thought to herself,
“He’s quite charming…He seems like a gentle person. I wonder if we can be friends...”
After the introductions, Everyone then started chatting with each other, talking about their lives at their homes.
“SO WHAT’S MIDGARDIUS LIKE?!” shouted Sully in excitement.
Everyone then looked.
Oliver then whispered quietly to him. “Shh...Lower your voice! Nobles or not, It’s a little rude to be shouting...Calm down.”
“Hehehe….Sorry Guys.” Sully felt a little bad and apologized.
“Heh, No Worries! Actually, I understand your excitement! I can tell you have a passion and love for knights AND justice...Am I correct?” said Ewain.
“H-How did you know?”
“Heh….” Ewain Chuckles.
“It’s Because I can read that very sentence in your eyes. You...always wanted to be a knight. We share the similar passion, Mr. Aurik!” His eyes were sparkling.
“Woah!” Sully’s eyes were sparkling as well now.
Oliver was just sighing. "Oh Brother."
Ewain then changed his tone and got serious. “It really reminds me of my passion when I was a child. But The truth is, Unlike you too, I was different. I used to be a noble...or rather, Part of a Rich Family. Unlike Most Nobles..Err, Wealthy People, I always had that dream of wishing to serve and help the people.I admired my father. But then...”
Katarina then interrupted the conversation, then looked up at him. “Ewain...Are you sure you should be telling them about...that? If you do, you...you should also speak up so everyone can listen...You were planning to say this at the meeting anyway, right? They also deserve to know. I'll help since...”
Ewain was flabbergasted that Katarina spoke...She was always the quiet type, but...He then smiled. “Alright, I will. Besides, We are allies, right? The Aenida Order is blessed with such interesting and wonderful people. I think it’s only right that we should bond and trust them. Besides….I’m already growing fond of Sir Sully over here!”
The Young man Chuckled. “You're a nice person too, Mr. Ewain. I think you should tell everyone here in this room!”
Oliver sighed but then smiled. “Well If Sully says so, I agree. I’m rather curious about what you have to say.”
Gabriel followed up and replied,
"If there's anything juicy that can provide for my inspiration....I'll be more than happy to hear you."
He then giggled.
Then, Reinhardt nodded as if saying Yes.
"I will pass this information to Lord Aeneas as well. It must be very important, correct?"
Ewain responded, "Yes Sir. That would be very much appreciated. Princess Mineva knows about this as well, so I have nothing to hide."
Alonso then smiled and gave a thumbs up. Bruno nodded. Cormac did as well.
Everyone was now paying attention to Ewain.
“You guys...For real? Even though We all just met?”
Everyone nodded.
Ewain smiled. “Heh...You guys sure are weird….but alright. We are comrades...so I trust you all. Some of my allies here don't know about this either, so... I and Katarina shall explain.”
He then called over Katarina, and the 2 of them took deep breathes. Ewain then spoke in a serious tone.
"Katarina and I were once part of the "High Nobility", not in Midgardius... but in the Republic. That's right...The Republic of Brandenburg, One of the most fortified nations in all of Odgard...”
