CHAPTER 2- UNKNOWN FORCES

~a day before Liberty went missing~

Today is the eighteenth of June, the coming of age ceremony for the princess of the Arcana famiglia,Felicita. The main hall is decorated with many colors as to celebrate not only the birthday but also as the day Felicita took over the crown from her father. It's been a year since the arcana duello take place, Felicfita also had done well as the head of the sword division and handling few of her father workloads. Bit after this, all the responsibility towards the famiglia will be handed down to her.

As usual, arguments could also be heard from the main hall as the trio, Pace,Debit to and Luca decided to debated about what kind of drinks should be served for the guests. On the other hand, Nova's with Felicita at the moment because both of them are formally engaged now. After the Arcana Duello both of them started to take their relationship more seriously and last Christmas, Nova had pulled off the final string that let them into their position right now. as far as Liberta could see both of them are doing just fine.

liberta sighed as Dante makes his usual lame jokes and commented that the man is too old for those kind of things anymore. Meanwhile, the kitchen had been the busiest part of the mansion. The chefs are working at top speed while the maids had to keep an eye and guard the foods as the glutton Pace keep sneaking in for more food. Members of the famiglia had gone in and out of the mansion at a ridiculously high Pace, Liberta fears that they might be fainting from overworking. Nevertheless none of them seems to succumb to Liberta's prediction much to his dismay.

The sunny day went by and nightfall seems to be emerging from the horizon. After cleaning himself up, Liberta started to dress up for the party. He donned a fitted tail vest with white short sleeves shirt on the inside, some casual trouser and sparkly black shoes. He styled his hair into a messy bed head and on the left side he adorned it with silver hair clips, almost revealing the scalp.

"Liberta, are you done yet"

He could hear Pace's calling from the other side of the door.

"Liberta..."

Pace opened the door as he heard no answer whatsoever. He stunned when he saw how Liberta dressed. He himself had dressed in his finest suit and style his hair like the others except that it makes him look like a second Debitto.

"Well how do I look ?"

Liberta asked him whom still had his eyes bored right onto Liberta's curve.

"Pace?"

He shook the older man out of the trance.

"Pace, are you sure you're okay"

Liberta asked him, he notice the slight concern coming from those words and the turquoise eyes.

"I'm okay, well you look beautiful"

Liberta smiled at the older man praises.

"You should say handsome, not beautiful"

However Liberta just let go of the fact.

~at the banquet hall~

"Please welcome, Lady Felicita and Master Nova"

The master of ceremony announced the arrival of the couple whom newly appointed as the heir of family. Both of them look absolutely amazing, they adorned similar patterns on their suit and dress. The only different is that Felicita's hair is tied into a bun and covered with white roses. They stepped down the staircases leading towards the guests. First they greet the former family head Mondo and his wife Sumire before blending in with the crowd. Both of them look happy and the though Liberta's heart fill with jealousy, the feeling is washed away by the bonds that they share together. He never resent at the fact that Felicita choose Nova over him.

The party went on and on when suddenly a loud booming sound shocked the whole crowd. A bomb had exploded near the party site. The famiglia members rushed the crowd for the safety. A few whom went down the street to investigate had been thrown back into the banquet hall.

"HELLO THERE, ARCANA FAMIGLIA'S"

A man with a mask covering his face and a few followers appear out of thin air.

"Who're you"

Felicita stepped forward and asked the man.

"Oh, the young lafy , I'm just a mere merchant passing by"

The man replied with a hint of loathe laced within his words.

"Merchant, then why did you attack us"

"Well I heard they this place hold a rare treasure"

He look at Liberta and slowly moved towards the crowd. All of them ecmxcept for the family members with tarocco back down a little.

"The power of words... Isn't that right~~ IL MATTO~~~"
