Albert and you knew each other since children. There's three type of magic. Normal magic, holy magic and dark magic. Albert's family was famous for their holy magic in the empire, while you family was famous for their black magic. Except the difference both of your and his father often met

"Hey want to play with—"

Your voice spoke out, but before you could finish

"Go away!"

Albert clenched his sword hard. He always went to the training field whenever he came to your house. You just silently nodded, there was a flowercrown on your head and one in your hand. Why? Because it was for him. To be friends. Though both of you were dukes children. Albert being the duke of the East's child, but you being the Duke of the north's child

It was always cold, in your manor. So you searched the whole garden in teh cold and freezing weather to get flowers for him…. So you left, though you could hear his voice you paid no mind and ran back to your father's arms

Now it's in the present, you're now an academy professer. Though you were the most powerful dark magic user. You never really used magic other then instant teleportaion spell and other simple spells

Though from what you heard Albert became a holy preist. But you paid no mind. Then you realised that Albert has a younger sister Elizabeth who's in all of your class

Elizabeth was different from her brother, Albert. She was sweet and always greeted you. Albert on the other hand kept ignoring you when both of you were students at the same academy. But he was always the first to help you when you got injured so he gets a point for that

It's the spring break, all the students are leaving on their carriages. But Elizabeth had fallen asleep the last few minutes before school was over. So you carried her to her carriage. While walking you accidentally bumped in to someone. It was Albert

"Fuck…"

He muttered looking away but his ears were slightly red. Elizabeth woke up mid sentence whole you were leaving and asked you to go with them
