Prologue

I have a bad feeling about the mission… The man wearing a cloak stood in front of his two subordinates. It has been more than two hours since the mansion was deserted. His right-hand man ordered to dispatch all the men to the fight, leaving only the ones guarding the mansion. Should I go there too? No, that would be reckless. Now, he was walking to and fro inside his office. He knows what he is doing but he is hesitating about his decisions.

"Should I dispatch the remaining men here?" a man in Japanese priest clothing asked. He too is suspecting that something is happening beyond this attack.

"There is no need for that. I think—" the man in cloak was interrupted by the knock on the door. His remaining subordinates inside the mansion looked at him. He then nodded, giving a signal for them to open it. As the door opened, the three saw a letter. The Japanese picked it up and gave it to the man in cloak. He took it, opened it carefully, and read it to himself.

"What does it say?" the other subordinate asked.

"This seems to be suspicious." He whispered to himself and showed the letter to the two.

The dark past shall be opened to the future. "Does it ring any bell?" the Japanese blurted.

"I don't think the top-secret information of the family have been leaked out." The man in cloak - the boss to be exact - walked to the window behind an oak table. He looked at the dark, empty yard of the place. This peace will be gone soon. He heaved a sigh and looked further towards the forest, where the battlefield roared into life. From his view, only the smoke can be seen. I hope everyone is all right. I want to go there, but for this to stop I need not to fight with them. He turned around and saw the two men, still on their post. He saw that they are ready to fight anytime; brought their own respective weapons and the confidence that they will win the battle.

The Japanese walked to the nearest chair and sat. "If only I have my flute this time, I will play something to calm your minds," he spoke and looked at his boss. A smile formed on his lips, and his boss did the same.

"Grazie," he replied. "Really, I am thankful for that" His eyes then turned to the other. "About the negotiations, what is the progress?"

But before the subordinate can even answer, a bright, blinding light exploded at the battlefield. The three covered their eyes, and in a few seconds it vanished. The subordinates ran to the window and found the location of the bright light. Their eyes froze in a moment. The location of the light is the current location of their troops! What is that? What happened to them? G. and Alaude, please contact me! Then there was a knock on the door. This time, the boss took the chance to open it. To his surprise, he saw nothing except for a small box at his feet. He was about to pick it up when it suddenly opened and another blinding light shone.
