Aerobella~

Aerobella stepped down from her horse drawn and looked up to the sky. It was a clear day. She hugged Merucci closer to her chest as her bunny deity squirmed with displeasure.

“Stop! I’m a boy!!! A BOY!” Merucci kicked and pawed as he tried to get out of her grasp. “Stop treating me like a girl. Stop putting all this fluffy bows on me!”

“But you look so cute with them.” Aero replied as she walked through the stone walls of the school yard. This place was originally the castle for the central kingdom. A grand place this is. Gold and precious stones decorated the roofs and garden. Aerobella’s servants scrambled to unload her luggage as one maid took a rather big and well decorated box to her.

“Your Lady Grace, her Majesty the Queen had prepared this gown for you.” The girl said opening the package to reveal dazzling white gown.
Aerobella smiled as she took the note on top.

Dear Aerobella,
Like your name, you will be as beautiful as the summer Wind.
Best wishes,
Your Mother.

Without a second thought Aero took the gown and rushed to her room to try it on.

Rosetta~

“Personal Knight of the East Nation, Rosetta Roulette and her honorable deity Pro Patria!” the announcer said in a nasal formal voice as the redhead descended the staircase. She could feel eyes on her and she knew her deep crimson dress only accentuated her lush hair. She narrowed her eyes, giving the room a sultry look before continuing her descent.

Rose scanned the room, taking mental note of all those who are suspicious and those who could one day become an ally. No matter where or when, her duty as the Personal Knight comes first. Rose would not let anything be in her way of completing her tasks. ProPa beside her snarled at another deity, making the poor squirrel crying back to its master.

That scene made Rose smile a little. She had come so far. Personal Knight is a title she could get used to.
