Crystal's POV
Its been a month, since my brother's birthday and today is the day all five years old in the empire need to check their magic and mana at the magic tower. That is why now I'm preparing to go out, to go with my brother.
I walk towards our living room to find my family. Father wasn't able to come with us, because there is a work on the palace he needs to do. As I was about to approach my mother noticed me.
"Crystal there you are, let's go and see you brother's powers!" My mother said happily.
"Yes, mother." I said and proceeded beside them.
We walk towards the exit, and entered our carriage. I was seating beside my brother, and mother cross us. Its an hour ride to the temple so we talk amongst ourselves.
"Are you excited brother?" I asked my brother while looking at him.
"Of course, I'm just scared that I will be weak." My brother said feeling dejected.
"No brother! I know you'll be strong, because you have always been strong." I said to my brother.
"Yes, and no matter what results show up it doesn't matter. We still love you." My mother said to brother reassuringly.
"Thank you mother and Crystal." My brother said relaxing his face.
"Duchess, young master, and young lady. We have arrived at the magic tower." Said our knight as he opened the door.
"Let's go?" My mother asked us.
"Yes mama/mother." I said in unison with my brother.
The magic tower is where magicians are researching about magic, maintaining the kingdom's barrier, always getting ready for war to aide the knights, studying alchemy, and things that will help the empire prosper. My mother is the head magician in the empire, because her mana is 10,000 which is the highest in the history.
The mana that a person have corresponds to how strong a person can wield magic. The empire doesn't have a standard measurement for mana, meaning they don't know what is the maximum mana that exist, but for now the maximum mana that exist is 10,000 which makes my mother a prodigy.
We exited our carriage and walked at the stairs of the magic tower, actually rather than tower it looks like a castle.
We sat at the second row that represents that we are from a duke family. Beside us is the Duke Harry Willis Black with his wife, Duchess Sarah Odette Black and only son, Xeon Charles Black.
As we sat down, the Duchess of the Black dukedom talk to my mother and my mother sat beside her.
"Ameryllis! Its been a long time since I've seen you. I heard about you having a hidden daughter and how adorable she is!" Duchess Black said excitedly.
"Nice to meet you, duchess, duke and young master Black. I'm Crystal Amellie Arien White." I said as I stand up and curtsy beside mother.
"Oh! Now I feel like, I want to have my own daughter, if not you can be my daughter little cutie." Duke Black said to me as he patted my head.
"No, no one is getting my daughter." My mother said frowning at the duke.
"Yes, no one can take my little sister." My brother said also frowning at the duke.
I can't believe they are being like this at a joke.
"Hahaahahah, you are certainly loved by your family aren't you?" Duke Black told me.
"Yes, I'm lucky to have them as parents." I answered smiling.
"What an adorable child! Oh Xeon don't hide behind your father, introduce yourself to the young miss of the White dukedom." Duchess Black said to me while gesturing her son to show himself.
Xeon slowly approached us, showing his beautiful green hair in our midst.
"Hello, I'm Xeon Charles Black." Xeon said in front of me.
"Hello Sir Xeon, I'm Crystal Amellie Arien White. It is nice to meet you." I said while smiling at him.
He became red when I smiled, was he sick or something?
"Uhmm, are you sick? Are you okay?" I said worriedly.
"No, no! I'm fine!" Sir Xeon said while waving his hands.
The adults laugh at Xeon's respond.
Wasn't he supposed to be a ruthless aide to his highness, that doesn't let any nuisance or disturbance near his highness? I guess he was still training to be like that.
"Uhmm, just call me Xeon." Xeon told me as he smiled at me.
"Okay, and you can also call me Crystal." I said at Xeon.

Lorenzo's POV
Just how many people is my sister going to captivate with that smile! Even Xeon is captivated!
"That's enough getting close with my sister Xeon." I said irritatingly.
Xeon just nod at me and returned at his seat.
"What a protective brother, how admirable." Duke Black said to me and returned at his seat.
"Ehem! We will now start the ceremony for knowing what affinity our children have and their mana capacity." The magician at the stage said and a big ball went out.
"Children, today you will start to use your magic after this test and develop skills that will help you in the future." The magician said.
"Now let's start with his royal highness Jacquess Argen Florence." The magician said and Prince Argen stood up from his seat.
Prince Argen stood up beside the big ball and touched the ball. The ball showed a fire, then trees which represents earth, and then blocks breaking, which represents destruction. With a mana capacity of 10,000.
The people gasp, his highness has two offensive affinities and even one special magic, that doesn't show a lot in a person. And a mana capacity of 10,000 same as the head magician.
His highness got off the stage and turned to look at me and smiled?
