"Hack!" Blood mixed with spit fell out of the young girls mouth. She quickly got her medicine and cleaned up her now ruined dresser. Grabbing her bag and putting on her cloak the girl locked her bedroom door.

Looking out behind her, the second youngest Silva snuck out from her room window at the break of dawn. Getting out of the Clover Castle unnoticed wasn't easy but thankfully Silalynn knew a few ways to leave and she had a friend in the other side that would help.

After (somehow) sneaking out of the castle, the Silva Prodigy pulled out her Magic Knight Cloak (with hood) from her bag and pulled it over her head so no one would be able to recognize her too easily. She headed towards the forest and made her way through, but about half way she was met with a certain hopeless romantic spacial mage. Silalynn let out a scream as he happened to pop up from on of his portals in front of her. She by instinct backed up and fell down from hitting a tree behind her falling onto the soft snow.

"Ow.." the silver haired female rubbed her left leg, which she landed on in a weird position. "You can't just pop up out of nowhere in front of me like that Finral! Gosh!.."

Final stepped out from his portal and held out a hand to help Silalynn up, which she took. "Sorry, sorry. Do your legs hurt?" The special mage asked.

"Of course, idio-"

"you've been running through my dreams all night after all" Finral had a very prideful smile on his face after using that pickup line.

Silalynn mentally sighed. "Hey, Finral"

"Huh, yes?"

"Let's commit the perfect crime-"

"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" Finral immediately freaked out.

"You steal my heart and I'll steal yours, deal?" Silalynn smirked as Finral froze in place. Silence befell between the two Magic Knights.

"Geez was it that bad?" Silalynn sulked.

"Well, though I wouldn't want to hurt a lady's feelings but...it was awful" Finral let out a disappointed sigh. "But a good attempt" the purple eyed man said, trying to raise her spirits.

Silalynn let out a small smile. "Why are you here today thought? I need to go to the border of the kingdom and the Spade Kingdom" Ever since Silalymn started to be a Magic Knight, Finral was basically transport for her to get to some mission sights without being spotted. Silalynn was skeptical about Finral knowing but she's now thankful for it since Finral and Silalynn became friends (best friends in Silalynn's eyes) in the short time they knew each other.

"Uh well, I still have to get you out of the capital"

"Finral, I don't mean to be rude but. You've never gone anywhere near the border" Silalynn sweatdropped.

"But I've been to cities outside the kingdom and you need to leave the kingdom for your job" Finral proceeded to list other reasons he was there.

Silalynn groaned. "Ok ok! I get it! Just!..get me to the farthest city you went to"

"Geez Sila, what's got you in a bad mood" Silalynn quickly brushed off the question and had Finral make a portal and tell her what city it was.

"Thanks Finral!" Silalynn smiled. "I guess I can say you're a great friend"

Finral widened his eyes but they quickly turned normal. "That's strange, you're not one to express your feelings"

"Ha ha" Silalynn said dryly. "Don't get used to it...but I'm thankful. Oh I gotta go! I don't want to waste more time"

"Bye, work on your pickup lines when you have time" Finral waved. Silalynn stuck out her tongue playfully, waving goodbye she then stepped in the portal.

------------------------

"Mercury Magic: Metalwork!"

-Offense
-Creation Magic
- large spikes of mercury sprout out from the ground, they have smaller spikes coming from the bigger spikes so it's going to be hard to avoid it. And Silalynn can make spikes grow from other spikes as long as she has enough mana
-this attack is good for relentless attacks because Silalynn can just keep sprouting out spikes from the other spikes

The spikes took out the final bandits and Silalynn sighed. "They were so easy to restrain, that's weird. Usually they a bit stronger...." suddenly something caught Silalynn's eye.

"Is that a kid?.."the Silva thought seeing a unconscious child being dragged away by some figure, and being curious she followed them, making sure to stay out of view. She then saw it meet up with two other hooded figures.

"Why does the Lady even want children, all they do is whine and cry" One of the asked. Another figure walked up to the child and immediately walked away it what seemed to be disgust.

"This child is hideous too, but I guess no one can compare to my beauty..aside from Lady Vanica of course" it was a female voice that spoke and even went as far as to kick the unconscious kid.

"Stop questioning Lady Vanica and do as she says!" Another male voice spoke up in a very defensive tone. Silalynn narrowed her eyes as she tried her best to hear the conversation.

The Silva then felt something the made her become a shaking mess. "Their m-mana, there's s-so much of it.." Silalynn thought. "Run away you idiot! You have no connection to that child whatsoever! Plus the levels of strength between us are clear!-

"Oh what's this? Some girl was listening to us" the female voice sounded as if it got closer. Silalynn turned to the side so see a tall woman with very long light hair next to her.

"It's rude to eavesdrop, but I can let it pass since you have the tiniest drop of beauty"

Silalynn tried to mask the fear in her eyes but this was a impossibly feat. The Silva prodigy tried to respond but felt the words remain stuck in her throat.

"Shall we kill her now? We can't risk a single person knowing about this-"

Silalynn immediately panicked as she heard "kill"

"Mercury Magic: Silver Showers!"

-Offense
-Creation Magic
-Mercury literally just rains down (it's basically a weaker version of "Rain of Silver")
-good for attacking many opponents or at least weakening them

Silalynn hoped her mercury would make the strange people at least back a way from her by a few inches, which they did.

"Halbet, Sivior, let's kill this girl already. We can't keep Lady Vanica waiting!" The second male, from Silalynn's point of view, was a simp for this "Lady Vanica".

"Hmm" the woman put a hand to her chin.

"Stupid legs! Run!-" Something then wrapped around Silalynn's neck making her choke before she got to finish the thought.

"W-what is..." Silalynn looked up at the three people. The one woman was using her hair (strangely enough) to restrict air from passing through Silalynn's trachea. "Wait that grimoire!" The Silalynn's heterochromia widened, seeing the floating grimoire.

"Spade K-kingdom?..."she managed to breath out. The woman walked closer towards Silalynn.

"Don't you think Lady Vanica would be interested in her..." simultaneously as the woman spoke the hold against her throat became tighter.

"I don't care just let me kill her!"

"No!" The woman answered. The three the proceeded to argue about what to do.

"They're actually going to kill me...!" and at that moment Silalynn truly realized what was going on.

Silalynn created a blade of mercury and brought it too the hair, trying to cut it off. She went slowly to not alert the woman but this immediately did the opposite, making the grip tighter.

"It would be wise to not fight against Halbet" the male who was likely named Sivior since he called the woman Halbet and the other man called him that.

"What do you plan to do if Lady Vanica says no! She'll punish us for sur-...actually I wouldn't mind a punishment from Lady Vani-"

"Yes yes Robero whatever you say" Halbet cut the other man, now identified as Robero, off. Silalynn attempted to us her mercury Magic one last time but was stopped by another section of hair binding her arms and making the grip of her neck tighter, making her wonder how she hasn't suffocated yet. But her vision was getting blurry and darker and it was hard to breath.

"I-Insolent buffoon! I'm r-royalty! K-killing me is begging to be come after by the Clover Kingdom" Silalynn gasped out. However all of the words that came out from the Trios mouths weren't heard anymore, the Silver haired girl was going unconscious and because of this she wasn't able to use her ears to pay attention to what they were saying and was just barely able to read their expressions. But there was one word which she was able to make out.

"Devil"

~Prolouge: End~

A/N: thank you for reading my book and I really hope you liked it so far. Also if anyone is wondering what Silalynn looks like then here

(Horrid Drawing by yours truly)
Silalynn is currently 15 during the time of the prologue (and the first part of this book) so her current look is the smaller drawings on the right and not the big drawing on the left.
