Caspian and Elincia stood in Sylvia’s office, in front of the lady herself, who sat behind her desk, a stern frown marring her face. Raven locks of hair framed her delicate features. Her silver eyes gazed upon them with a coolness that was reminiscent of ice. Her body, clad in a dress that was simple yet somehow seemed imposing, barely shifted as she sat with her hands clasped in front of her body.

As always, the oldest living Sorceress was composed. Her expression gave nothing away. In all the time that Caspian had known her, he didn’t think he had ever seen her smile, not once.

Behind Sylvia stood D’artagnan, her Knight, the man currently known as the strongest Knight. Glistening armor shone from the sunlight piercing through the window behind him. His hand rested lightly on the hilt of the sword sheathed at his waist, as though he was ready to draw it at any time. He, like his Sorceress, retained a calm composure. Caspian thought it made him look like a statue.

“We are currently facing something of a crisis,” Sylvia said, and much like her face, her collected voice gave none of her emotions away. She really did remind him of ice. “News that you are an elf has spread, and it has been causing much unrest among the people. They are frightened.”

It had been about a week since the incident with Davidson since people had discovered that Elincia was an elf. It hadn’t been so bad at first. Many people hadn’t treated her any differently, but the further the rumor spread, the number of people who began showing fear toward her increased. The last time they went out, a majority of the people they walked past had whispered horrible things about her, and a few people had even thrown stuff at her and told her to go back to Fas Seras. Just remembering what happened during those times made Caspian angry.

Only a few people still treated Elincia like a human being. Mr. and Mrs. Légumes didn’t treat her any differently. They, along with many other people who worked or shopped at that particular open market, had said that it didn’t matter if she was an elf.

While he and Elincia were grateful for their support, they didn’t want to get those people involved in their conflict. Neither of them would be able to forgive themselves if something happened to the few individuals who still treated her kindly. That was why they had stopped going for their morning walks through that market.

“I’m sorry,” Elincia said quietly, her shoulders slumping.

Caspian reached over and discreetly held her hand. His emotions flared through their bond. He tried to shower her with the love and affection he felt for her through their connection, which caused Elincia to straighten and her cheeks to flush red. She cast him a grateful smile, and her hands tightened around his. Right now, this was all he could do to support her.

Sylvia looked down at their hands and frowned. Thankfully, she didn’t say anything.

“I am not blaming this situation on you,” she said at last. “In truth, the fault lies with me. I should not have kept this secret for so long.”

Astonishment coursed through Caspian like a bolt of lightning. Had he ever heard Sylvia admit to being wrong? No. Never. Granted, he had rarely interacted with her on his own, but still, the times they had interacted when he was younger, she had never once admitted that she was at fault.

“W-what? Lady Sylvia?” Elincia looked even more surprised than him, a consequence of her living with Sylvia for most of her life, no doubt.

When Elincia had been rescued after the rebellion at Fas Seras, the last remaining elven kingdom, Sylvia had brought her to this very mansion. Here, in this place, Elincia had lived. While Caspian, who had also been rescued by Sylvia, had gone on to Arcadia’s Knight Academy, Elincia had never once lived elsewhere. One could almost say that she was a bird locked away in a cage.

She knew Sylvia even better than he did. That must have been why she expressed even more surprise than him.

“My original plan called for you was building up a reputation of goodwill first,” Sylvia explained. “My hope was that the people would see you for who you are, rather than what you are. I wanted them to become taken in with all of your good qualities. I wanted them to respect you for your accomplishments and compassion, so that when we finally announced that you are an elf, they wouldn’t care because they know who you were as a person first.”

In theory, Caspian thought that Sylvia’s plan was sound. If people spent enough time with someone, had the chance to judge them without prejudice, then when they suddenly learned a huge and potentially damning secret, it wouldn’t have mattered. They wouldn’t have cared because their perception of that person would have already been cemented. That was the theory anyway.

However, theory and practical application were two different things. Caspian wasn’t sure if Sylvia’s plan would have worked even if this incident hadn’t happened. Then again, he would admit that he didn’t have much faith in humanity’s ability to accept people who were different.

“Now that this has happened, what should we do?” Caspian asked. “Ele can’t do her job if no one will even speak with her. Even worse, the situation might escalate if she goes out. Suspicion and distrust will follow her, and it will only increase as time goes on.”

“Please address Elincia by her proper title, Caspian,” Sylvia admonished him. Behind her, D’artagnan shuffled his feet. “Since Elincia’s presence is currently a cause for concern, we have decided to send you on a task that will take you out of Casadinia and return after the situation has settled. This task will likely take several weeks, maybe even a month, depending on how difficult it proves to be.”

Caspian glanced at Sylvia’s Knight. D’artagnan el Melloi was a middle-aged man with angular features. His face appeared to have been chiseled from stone, further hardened by his intense demeanor. Long bangs framed his face, and a light fringe hovered over eyes of burnished steel.

He wore light armor. His leather jerkin rustled whenever he shifted, dark brown and freshly polished. The shoulder pauldrons, greaves, and vambraces that he’d donned were made of steel, and they shone brightly underneath the light of the afternoon sun, which streamed in through a window at his back.

That reproving look he’s giving me…

Caspian wondered if D’artagnan also felt the irony at Sylvia’s statement. How many times had her Knight told him the same thing each day, that he should address the Sorceresses by their proper titles, or that he should call them “Lady Sorceress” or some such? More times than he could count.

“You’re sending me away?” Elincia asked.

Caspian winced. That tone, suffused with such sadness, caused a sharp pain to pierce his chest. It made him want to hold her and never let go. The only reason he didn’t pull her into his arms right then was that Sylvia would have disapproved.

He had no desire to be lectured.

“Just temporarily,” Sylvia assured her. “Given the current climate, having you here isn’t a good idea.”

“You mean that my presence might incite riots,” Elincia said, her voice making it clear that she was on the verge of tears.

“Yes,” Sylvia admitted. “At the moment, your presence is causing a lot of problems. Just as Caspian said, you can’t do your job as a Sorceress if the people you’re duty-bound to protect don’t even accept you.”

Elincia stifled a sob, and Caspian, not knowing what to do but wanting to do something, stepped closer and placed his hand on the small of her back. It was a small thing, but he hoped it would help.

“It’ll be okay.”

“Caspian?”

“Everything will be okay. We’ll get through this.”

“What’s our task?” asked Caspian out loud.

“Your task will be to investigate the rumors of a necromancer appearing in the northeast part of the Ruudon province,” Sylvia continued, either not seeing or, more likely, willfully ignoring the physical intimacy between him and Elincia. “We’ve received several reports of the dead rising from their graves and attacking the living. Caspian, I believe this task will be of personal interest to you.”

Caspian felt a chill run down his spine. It wasn’t just what Sylvia had said about their new task being of personal interest to him. A necromancer was a major threat. Caspian knew that from personal experience.

“Why do you say that?” asked Caspian.

Sylvia graced him with a grim look. “Because there was a rumor among the reports that the necromancer has taken residence in Parumé.”
