Just after King Valemir agreed to the alliance, Queen Lucy informed him of a summit to be held in the Tempest Kingdom in two days. It would be the first official gathering of the three kingdoms, a meeting to strategize their response to the looming continental threat and finalize the terms of their union.
Without delay, Queen Lucy, Mystica, and the accompanying knights stepped into the glowing magical portal, vanishing just as they had arrived in the Crescent Kingdom.
The moment they returned to Tempest soil, Lucy and Mystica parted from the others and made their way to the private chamber deep within the castle. The doors shut behind them with a quiet echo as they settled into velvet chairs, facing each other.
"So," Lucy began, her tone low and curious. "You said you found a dark magic user."
"I did," Mystica replied smoothly. "And it wasn't recent either. We've been watching him since the day he enrolled in the academy."
Lucy arched a brow. "Enrolled? What year is he in?"
