FIVE YEARS PRIOR…
The day after Luna left, or rather whisked away by Sun Wukong under the orders of her sister…
Thomas was making his way to the mansion of the Celestine Family in Azte. Apart from a few trusted aides of the archduchess and the members of the family itself, Thomas could come and go whenever he pleased inside the mansion. He was usually the one to wake Luna up on the weekends when classes were still going on. He was very surprised when he was met with Archduchess Zaira before he could even go up the stairs.
“Good morning milady.” he greeted and bowed.
“Hello Thomas. Are you here for Luna?”
“Yes milady. We were supposed to help out with the renovations of the Imperial Academy.”
“Ah, right. Well, I suppose there was that. Why don’t you wait in the living room Thomas? I have invited a few of your friends as well. I have some things to announce.”
