"Well, putting that aside, I have a mission for you, in 1 weeks time, one night before the full moon, I want you to investigate the underwater temple, report to Yami who'll be there on the morning of the day of the full moon.The underwater temple is located in the noble realm in a town called Raquey.I want you head out in the next 2 days."Julius says to me.

"Sounds easy enough.Why me?"

"You have doubts, take this mission to think them out."

Even if I do have doubts, I know that they're true, you can't trust anyone.

I nod my head and Julius dismisses me, I decided to head back to Nean and grab a flower that I originally went there for.

In the town of Nean...

I spot Asta, Rebecca, Noelle, Marie and Gauche.

"Hey guys!"I shout to them while running up to them, I jump behind Asta and hug him from behind.

"How's it going?!"I ask them while letting go of Asta.

"I got a kiss from Rebecca!"Asta exclaims to me.

"Ah I see. Brat.I thought you said you'd be faithful to Sister Lily."I grip his head as Asta apologises profusely.I start to crack up when he starts to bow up and down.

"Pffftttt!I'm sure Sister Lily still loves you!"I laugh.He stands dumbstruck when I turn Rebecca.

"So?Can you take me to the greenhouse?"I ask her.

"Huh?Oh yea.I'll drop my siblings home and I'll head down with you."She answers picking one of them up.

"I'll take her." A voice says behind Rebecca.

"Gauche?"I question

"I said I'll take her to the greenhouse.Let's go before I change my mind."He tches and starts walking away.I laugh and start wlaking behind him waving to Asta and his group.

"So what suddenly changed your mind?"I ask mockingly.

"Nothing.The peace of mind."He answers.

"Well duh.I don't recall my name being Marie."I mutter.He narrows his eyes at me before returning his gaze to the road.

A few minutes later...
We arrive in front of the greenhouse a while later.We enter and was greeted by the gardener.

"Hello there youngins!"He shouts whipping some sweat from his forehead.He was piling some fertiliser into his wheel burrow.

"Hello!"I call as Gauche just heads straight in, the gardener sighs at Gauche as I catch up to him.We look around and I spot the red flowers.

"Ah! Red Gerbera Daisies!"I beam as I bend down and look down at them.

I hope Captain Fuegoleon feels better, I'll grab one for Leopold too.

The gardener walks up to us and laughs.

"Here to pick some up for someone special?"He asks me.

"Hmm?Yea, actually two people, I look up to them, they recently got injured in a battle so I though I'd grab some flowers for them."I answer.

"And how about you, Guache?"He asks sternly narrowing his eyes towards Gauche.

"Nothing."He answers, returning the stare.The gardener passes me some tweezers and I cut put a six flowers.After I finished, I start to pass it back to the gardener.A hand snatches it away, Gauche bends down and picks up two flowers of the same kind and hands them back to the gardner.

"Let's go."He tells me.I stand up and wave to the gardener goodbye, he waves back as Gauche and I make our exit.

"You mnow you could've at least waved."I tell Gauche, he looks down at me as we near the hospital, he stops at the entrance and turns to me.

He shoves a flower into my empty hand and looks to the side.

"You were hurt, weren't you?Even though it's better now, take it."He says.

"Uhh...thanks."I say, he covers his face with his hand as I say it.

"See you around."He says before heading up to the hospital with the other flower.

"Uhhh....yea."I say after he opens the door.

He might not be as bad as I thought....hmmm....

I make my way to the broom station, Broom Transportation System for Magic Users.They're enchnated brooms, they let you rent the broom and when you gwt to your destination, they teleport back to the station.I pay for my broom and set off towards the hospital in the capital.

At the Capital...

I land off my broom and stand in front of the hospital, I send the broom back to the station and enter the hospital.

I walk uo to the receptionist who was writing something down.

"Uhh, I'm here to see Fuegoleon Vermillion, and Leopold Vermillion."I say to her, she looks up at me with a frowned expression.

"You're the 4th person today.I'm sorry but I was told no one without permission could see them."She says to me.

Someone must be here to kill them or something.

"Actually, I'm the Crimson Lions Representative, you could perhaps let me slip by?"I plead her.

"No can do."She answers slightly irritated.

"I'll accompany her."A voice says from behind me.

"Nozel?!"I whisper in shock.

"And you are?"The receptionist raises her eye brows at the voice, Nozel comes closer and his features make the receptionist flush.

"Nozel Silva."Nozel answers.

"O-oh! Ah! O-of course! 3rd floor, room 345 and 346!"She answer looking down at her work and batting her eye lashes up and down taking glances at Nozel.

Sucker for handsome men, I wonder if she would die from seeing Yuno...

"Let's go."Nozel mutters walking past me and towards the stairs.We take a few flights of stairs before ending up at room 345 and 346.Grand large doors, fit for a royal.

"Er...I'll go see Leopold first, you can go ahead and see Captain Fuegoleon."I say to Nozel, he nods and enters room 345.I open the  door of room 346 and see Leopold still sleeping on the only bed in  the room.I walk towards his bedside vase and place three flowers in it.

"Hey...Leopold, get well soon.We'll spar when you get back.Things aren't looking good, one of the captains was a traitor and now everyone is on high alert.I'm going to see Captain Fuegoleon now, get better soon."I say to him, even though he wouldn't hear me.I stare at his face when I notice the red diamond mark on his forhead.

It wasn't there before...I'll ask him when he gets better...

I walk out of his room, closing the door behind me.I walk into Fuegoleon's room to see him on the bed with Nozel standing in front of him deep in thought.I walk over and place the flowers in, when Nozel narrows his eyes when I don't put the last one in

"Isn't that for Fuegoleon?"He asks me.

"This?A friend gave it to me."I say looking at it and remembering Guache.

"I see."Nozel notes.

It's my fault....if I didn't stall so much, and gotten there quicker, you wouldn't have been.....

I feel my eyes getting heavier as something hits the ground.

"If you're blaming yourself, don't.It's pointless, no one wished for this to happen, nor was it anyone's fault."Nozel looks at me.I wipe my tears and look at him.

"I would've tried to convince you if I could, but I can't help but think that if I hadn't done what I did, this wouldn't of happened.I stalled, pointlessly, and in that time, I could've prevented it."

"No. We could've prevented it, if you blame yourself, we're to blame too."

I hate to say but he's right, right now.I need to keep everything stable.

"No one is to blame.Huh.I guess I get back to Head Quaters and settle things.Thanks for your company."I say to Nozel, turning my heel to the exit.

At the Crimson Lions HQ...

I explained everything to the vice captain and he went and took measures on the teams.I walk back to my room when i hear intensive cries coming out of it.I open my door to see a complete mess, puddles of liquid everywhere and a crying yell from my drawer on my desk.I pull it open, highly irritated.

"REVEL."I hiss as he flies up and hugs my face.

"DON'T LEAVE ME HERE BY MY SELF!"He cries, I peel him off and sigh.

"You big baby.I was only away for a few days, don't tell me you were crying all that time."I look at him sternly as he hiccups while nodding.I sit him done on my desk and clwar the mess on my table, I asked a passing maid to clean my room as I headed to the library with Revel.One of the eight libraries, two stories each and as big as 10 of my rooms in one.I go up the stairs and into a corner where three comfortable red chairs surround a circular table.I sit down and Revel flies down onto the table in front of me.

"Okay.Interrogation time."I sigh.
