"Suck give me your money!" Say a soldier by force
"But I really don't have any money" replied an old man
"Damn it! Do you think being a soldier is a good thing! Fuck those! I'd better sell your organs, hmh"
"No! Please! Please don't hurt me!!" Shouted the old man's son earlier
*What is that? The blackmail? I thought this kingdom was a prosperous kingdom, but in fact it was just a graveyard kingdom.* Sucy's inner being then approached them in an alley
(Tsuukk) The sound of Lucy's sword piercing through the man's chest, then ejects his heart
"You want an organ, right? This take yours, I give you"
"A-what's y-.."(dugg)
The man immediately collapsed and died.
For most people, it is a terrible thing. But for a little boy who lives in a village that every day can always see the dead is not something surprising. At least that's what Lucy thought when she saw the girl's reaction. The little boy immediately ran to hug his father and the two hurried away.
*The boy.he is similar to Tara...Is it just my feeling?*
To confirm it again, Lucy follows him. Although their hair color is different, their faces look similar.

"Go from us! No one wants to play with a smelly kid like you! Go!!" Said a boy
"Even we've been wanting to vomit, go stink!!" Sahut other boy
*Discrimination well. Unfortunately I am not a good person who loves small children*inner Lucy who then approached them and raised a boy with one hand.
"Do you know son? If your neck is broken then you can meet your ancestors"
"Stop! Please no! Let me solve my own problems. I.., I don't want to depend on people." Prattling
*His firmness is also similar as it seems* Lucy's inner being
Lucy then takes the boy off while looking at what the girl is going to do
The girl then punched the bad boy until he fell. Not until then, he trampled it in front of the other children. In the middle of the fight, came a teenager who was the older brother of the boy who was beaten by the girl.
Seeing his sister being beaten, he then ran towards her but was confronted by Lucy.
"Who are you?! Why arrest me?! BASTARD RELEASE!!"
An irritated Lucy then clasped her head until she fainted.
"Continue" Lucy told the girl
"No. This was enough, after all I had no intention of killing him, I just taught him a lesson to make his arrogance disappear"
"Ah, wait! Masked man wait!!" The girl does not know that Lucy is a woman.he then chased after Lucy, but of course he did not catch up with her
"Stop." Said an old man(?) suddenly he stopped Lucy. The man was the one who was called father by the girl earlier
"I know you've been following us since"
"That's your thanks after being rescued?" Ask Lucy
"I can fight them myself without your help. Now tell me your intentions"
"If I don't want to?"
"Then don't blame me for what I'm going to do to you "
"Do it "
When the man was about to make Lucy faint, the girl came over
"STOP!!! MAT-DAD STOP!, DON'T HURT HER!" Shouted the girl loudly
*"Mat-"? Ahh.so this man is not her father, it seems they are not ordinary people* Inner Lucy
The man stopped immediately."Why can't I?"
"He helped me earlier, so don't hurt him" the girl replied
"Alright, but at least we should know what his intentions are."
"I got straight to the point. But before that there's something I want to ask you"
"Ask" the girl replied
"You're not a pair of fathers and sons, are you?" Ask Lucy
"Really"
"Miss!"
"It's okay, Matthew, it's free to lie to him. Well, you already know the truth, then, what's your purpose in asking?"
"There's a girl I know, she's your age, she even looks like you. Actually I don't want to interfere, but he's a unique boy. So, I want to properly confirm your identity"
The girl initially looked at the man. After thinking for a while, they decided to introduce themselves and explain the purpose of their trip.
"I am Nera Befillea, the princess of the kingdom of Befillea, and she is Matthew Ferdinand, my personal bodyguard."
"Befillea.if I'm not mistaken, it's a small kingdom to the west. To my knowledge, Befillea's kingdom did not belong to the Altopheuz empire." Lucy said
"really. Our kingdom is a small, peaceful kingdom that knows no war and is far away at the tip of the Alokkha continent. However, the impact caused by the war between kingdoms in the Altopheus empire was once very large. As a result, our kingdom also suffered. We were all forced to flee to a place far up the mountain, however, my twin sister, Vera Befillea, who was with a soldier fell down with their horse during a landslide. Unfortunately, they have not been able to return to us they were found by the Valdimora kingdom soldiers who then chased after them. And we still don't know where they are, and that's what I'm looking for." The girl (Nera) explained
After hearing the explanation from them, Lucy also recounts her encounter with Tara who is thought to be the twin sister of Nera. Hearing Lucy's story, they plan to go to the place where Tara is. Lucy leads the way for them.
