It was during the sunset that signaled the end of the 118th Annual Hunting Tournament. Every Lady was cheering for her husband's return, while some were waiting for them to return in the safe zone. A young girl was playing with her friend while waiting for her father's return. Both girls caught a rabbit and brought it to show their mother.
One of the girls was Lady Cecily Arden (15 years old), only daughter of the Duke of Arden, and the other was Lady Alicia de Rayvine (10 years old), sole heir to the only Archduchy of the Empire. She said to her mother, who was chatting with the Duchess Christina, "Mommy, mommy, can we take Mr. Rabbit back to the castle?" The Archduchess, swinging her crimson hair, replied, " Sure, Cia, first wait for your father to arrive..." As she was completing, they saw Archduke Rayvine, his golden eyes shining like amber (the sign of a descendant of the Imperial family) and Duke Arden, whose eyes were blue as the deep sea, on their horses with an enormous hunt.
Both the mothers and daughters ran towards them, but suddenly, a group of trained Assassins jumped towards them, leaving the mothers gravely injured. Seeing their wives' state, both the Archduke and the Duke rushed to save their daughters but were attacked by a Chimera, a ferocious monster known to reside in deep forests. As both mothers were barely hanging on to their lives, the Archduchess shouted at Alicia and Cecily to run and get help. Alicia, in tears, ran towards the tents, but Cecily had injured her legs and was killed by the assassins while saving Alicia. The assassins didn't pay attention to Alicia as they thought she was not their "Target".
