A/N: Hello~ There's a new chap of Hämnd :D This time we'll meet a new character who is half made by Daxelli-san and half made by me :D And I'll also reveal Kanon's real first names (but her family name will still be a secret :D It'll be a big shock to everyone *evil smirk*)

But don't worry~ The end won't come anytime soon :D


"There's a letter for someone called 'Lydia'!" a postman exclaimed when he walked into the Blackhawks' office. Everyone looked at him with a long silence. When no one answered, the postman said: "Uh… I was told that this Lydia works here… Am I mistaken?"

"No", Kanon said. "No one just uses that name when they address me so I was a bit surprised…"

"Oh, so it is you!" the postman laughed with relief. "I already thought that I had stepped into a wrong room…" The postman handed the letter to Kanon and left. Kanon smiled at the postman's back before walking back to her seat.

"So… You have another name?" Konatsu asked awkwardly. "Is your whole name Kanon Lydia?"

"Actually it's Lydia Kanon", Kanon laughed. "And actually Kanon is derived from Calanthe, which means beautiful flower in the ancient Raggs."

"That's so cool!" Hyuuga exclaimed. "Did Aya-tan make that up?"

"No!" Kanon laughed. "He'd just invent something stupid! I was given that name in the circus. The one who made it up was the mother of my caretaker. I think that her name was Daina…"

Kanon sat down and started reading the letter. She almost screamed when she realized that the letter was from Shade but she managed to suppress the scream and made it sound like a cough. Yukikaze raised his eyebrow when he heard Kanon's surprisingly loud cough but let Kanon be. He could never really understand Kanon and her brain. He turned to look at the document and suddenly he started coughing too. In his case it was because he had seen Kanon's face on the document. He started examining the document and realized that it was a part of the missing Replica Project file.

"What the…?" he mumbled while he was almost done with reading the paper. "I might need to keep this…"


Later that day, Kanon was walking around the city with the letter from Shade in her right hand and a pack of white lilies in her left hand. She was going to the graveyard where the remains of Shade and Svida's parents had been buried after they had died in the attack that should have killed Shade and Svida. Kanon had been a good friend of Scarlet, who was the mother of the twins. Kanon also knew who had been behind the attacks but she needed to make sure that she was right and that day was the only day to do it since it was the anniversary of Scarlet and Atle's death.

"Are you going to visit them too?"

Kanon turned around and saw a boy who was around twenty years old. He had a curly, light brown hair and it was tied to a short ponytail. He was wearing a white dress shirt and dark brown trousers that had been made of corduroy. He also wore a light brown vest which was like the ones that people in the 7th district used. On top of all that, he was wearing an old dark green coat. In his hands he carried a pack of lilies. His eyes were sad like his smile. Kanon looked sadly at him before opening her mouth to greet him.

"You've grown up, Aaren", she whispered because of the shock.

"And you have gotten younger, my dear", he laughed and grinned like Hyuuga. "How can it be so that you're always so youthful when we meet?"

"If you're trying to flatter me, shut up", Kanon said and started walking again. "What brings you here?"

"I've visited their grave every year since they died", Aaren said quietly. "Don't tell me that Shade didn't tell you?"

"He never told me", Kanon admitted. "He must still be angry about what you did that day."

"It was indeed my fault", Aaren mumbled. "I should have declined instantly and gotten them safe…"

"Saying that won't bring them back", Kanon said and stopped. She had found the grave she had been looking for. She stood in front of two gravestones which held the names of Atle Idan Mondrok and Scarlet Alodia Löngja.

"I can't believe that it's been over five years", Aaren said. "Seeing Shade's angry look and Svida's sad eyes make it feel like it's happened yesterday…"

"It would feel the same even if it would have been over a decade", Kanon said with a sad smile. "It hurt them too much…"

"What about you?" Aaren asked suddenly. "You can't say that it didn't have any effect on you! How did you react when they died?"

"If we weren't at the graveyard, I would have killed you already!" Kanon hissed and Aaren could see how hurt she was. "How could I ever forgive you for killing the only person I cared like a mother?"

"I… I'm sorry", Aaren stuttered.

"Shut up for now", Kanon said and crouched down to place the lilies on the graves. For few minutes she just stared at the graves and then she whispered in Raggs:

"Take care of Scarlet in heaven, you stupid scientist."

"What did you say?" Aaren asked.

"Don't tell me that you've forgotten your native language, Aaren?" Kanon said wryly. "If you can't understand an easy sentence like that, you've really betrayed your kingdom!"

"I haven't betrayed Raggs!" Aaren said. "You should know to not speak Raggs in this country! You can be killed anytime if you speak Raggs these days!"

"Military won't kill their assassin like that", Kanon said. "I need you to come with me. I'll have you tell me some things."

Kanon dragged Aaren out of the graveyard and into the city. They walked and walked until they were in the poor area of the city. They turned right and suddenly bumped on someone. All three looked up at the same time and Kanon almost screamed from happiness and surprise. The person whom they had bumped on had a dark brown hair and brown eyes. He looked even more surprised than Kanon and Aaren.

"What are you doing here, Lydia-chan?" he managed to utter.

"I'm hiding", Kanon laughed. "What are you doing here, Christian?"

"The same as you", he said and smiled confusedly. "I broke one of Daina-san's precious vases and I'm afraid that she might kill me…"

"Poor you… You have so hard life", Kanon laughed. "But I need to go to question this guy so see you again when I have more time!"

"You too…" Christian mumbled and stood up slowly.

"So, who actually ordered you to kill the Löngja family?" Kanon asked when she had gotten into a safe place with Aaren.

"I'm not sure… I think that it was professor Nanase from the Houburg fort", Aaren said. "He said that it was because the princess' life was in danger."

"So he only wanted to hide the replica project", Kanon whispered. "Thanks, Aaren! I need to go now."

"Uh… Okay", Aaren said and only stood where he was while Kanon started running away.

That damn Nanase… I'll expose the Replica Research Project myself!


So... Who actually said the last line, I wonder? While we all are wondering that, please tell me your opinions :D
