Miyu smiled as well, "Okay, okay, this will help you feel better," She also offered cups to the others, even though Ayuri politely declined. The air within the headquarters felt charged with a quiet intensity as Hiroki, Miyu, and Ayuri gathered around a large wooden table, and they sat down on the brown floor rug that they had cleaned a time ago, while Amaya was sitting on a far chair drinking her tea, and Kenji was standing at the door as his mood prefers. The dim light from the candle chandeliers above cast soft red rays across the room. As all their gazes fixed on Ayuri, she released a weary sigh and declared, "Alright, I'll speak.. about my past.." With a serious tone, she straightened and began to talk.. "At one time, the kingdom of Yumix was under the rule of the first royal family. It was a phase marked by peace and prosperity, which shifted profoundly with the arrival of the power upheaval." Her eyes dulled. "Two sisters were next in line to rule, but neither was interested in taking the throne. Yet, there was someone who sought to manipulate them, to force one of them into power for his own gain." The room felt as if it were shrinking around them, the dancing candlelight creating haunting shadows on the walls. "A rebellion erupted against the sisters, plunging the kingdom into turmoil. There was a lack of information in first place, and many details were lost in the upheaval. Yumix then divided into two factions; supporters of the old regime and advocates of the new one." Yuri's tone became frosty, and her demeanor stiffened. "The new regime, fearful of the old system, tightened its grip and became increasingly oppressive.. punishing anyone who maintained ties to the past. However.. A third faction made the decision to completely turn against Yumex. These people… they were different. They harbored a deep-seated hatred for the kingdom, they were willing to go to any lengths to see it fall." A thick silence enveloped the room as Ayuri took a brief pause, Her eyes wandered off into the distance, as though she was trapped in the painful memories that replayed endlessly in her thoughts.. As it seems to them only. "My family.." she continued, "was entangled in this conflict.. They went missing during the upheaval. I believe it could be a result of these Yumix enemies." The words she just said loomed over the group, Shock was evident on their faces, that was entirely unforeseen. Amaya felt a surge of sympathy for Ayuri, her eyes revealed it, despite Ayuri's faint smile. Ayuri resumed her serious conversation, "And through the information I obtained from my researches that I collected from my works with the elite royal team, I have come to something about one of the most dangerous men who are against the current regime.. a man who is almost like a shadow in the dark." As Ayuri spoke, Hiroki's eyes began to widen in panic, "He was known for his magic, known as the hands of an octopus, which were enough to crush anything in its path, and his name was.. Eldarion." Her words caught everyone's attention and attracted them even more, "If that accurate, then it seems that he is the same person, who attacked Amaya and her brother.. He is the one involved with these enemies, and may even be one of the organizers of their plans." Shocked murmurs filled the room, with each person responding differently to the tale. Yoru kept her feelings to herself and was somewhat reserved. The only one who stood out differently in his reaction was Hiroki, whose quietness revealed his inner tension and confusion. "Ev
