Prolog
The guild boy stood in the shadows of one of the ships cargo rooms. Few crew members, and passengers took notice of him as they left Exile's dock, after a day of preparing for the ships return. He would rather it stay that way, mostly he wanted to avoid other guilders. He could think of only two he knew he could trust, and he had no idea where they were.
Only a week ago he had escaped the current hidden base of the Blood Rose army, and he wanted to avoid capture at any cost. He needed to get to the Empress and warn her of the rebel's plans.
Afterward, he would find Lord Dio, no matter how long it took.
He wasn't sure who he was, or if he had been anyone else before waking over a month ago. But he remembered being Lucciola, he looked like Lucciola, he had the same thoughts, and feelings as Lucciola. He also remembered Lucciola had died.
Regardless of that 'Lucciola' wanted to be with Dio.
