The three's eyes went by the door as it opened, a boy with shoulder long straight blonde hair smiling with eyes closed next to him a young boy with dazzling blond hair and those fascinating blue eyes holding a white bunny with red eyes.

'Ahh! The sadist-brother is here.'

"May glory bestow upon the future sun's of our beloved empire."

Luis politely greeted Calrin and Ehrlich that was carrying ruby on his hands, while Ashtherielle is having a mix fellings of anger, frustration and pain.

"My lady, your having an odd expression again, do you not want us to be here?"
