The Nation of Abros was a very vast and a powerful country and strived with riches and prosperity. Its name and fame were well known throughout the world, which also gave rise to the number of envious other nations that loathes their progress.

Abros had the finest and the powerful army called The Imperial Knights.

The Imperial Knight army was formed by former Commander, Viscount Theodric. Abros was an ordinary small country that was under constant attacks from Bandits and Barbarians. Later, Viscount Theodric adopted the Knight's chivalric code for himself and his men. He trained every soldier very strict and harshly and was a fierce commander. Soon after, he recaptured all the lands from the Bandits and also from the neighboring countries that were taken. He started to expand the nation by aggressively consumed all other small kingdoms. He helped the expansion of Abros, which made the country to stand toe to toe with the-

Seven major Kingdoms-

1.Tholux Empire

2.Zekar Empire

3.Kutor Kingdom

4.Shenia Dynasty

5.Stezar Empire

6.Kaburg Empire

7.Chudosian Dynasty

All this nation had Supreme military power and vast lands. They had well-skilled soldiers, some generals in their army had extraordinary powers and skills that far surpassed the Human being. If a war sparks between the major country, the result would have heavy casualties and losses on both the sides.

So to avoid such crisis, they made a peace agreement between the eight major countries, called Pact of Trost.

In this eight kingdom, the Supreme country was the Thulox empire, as they had the biggest region of land under their control compared to the other seven nations. Abros ranked 5th in the land mass count. The fast and steady progress of Abros had given rise to hatred and jealousy from other countries including some of the Major Kingdoms. The Stezar Empire and the Abros Kingdom were warring nations until Abros received the title of major country and was admitted inside the alliance.

The Imperial Knights were the backbone of Abros army and their frightening skills, kept the enemy at bay.

The main Headquarters of the Abros Imperial Knights were situated near the heart of the capital city, Rublor. It housed the biggest Knight training Barracks which trained a large, diverse number of students who were converted into Knight. The White knight title was mostly appointed to noble and brilliant students. The White Knights had the authority to create and lead other minor soldier squads. Soldiers had to obey and respect every White Knight’s order.

The Knight school barracks, Archangel Stronghold, was the main headquarters base of the Imperial Knights army as well as the training camp.

Cecilia Heller was the commander of the Imperial Knights, and also the Head Administrator of Archangel stronghold's Knight Barracks. She was a brilliant strategist and a fierce leader with Superior Battle skills.During a war between the Abros and Voltysk nation when she was still a White knight soldier. She held back the enemy and acted as a decoy, so just that her squad could retreat. Her guerrilla tactics came handy in the forest region to ambush Voltysk soldiers. She was severely injured and lost her left eye after her battle with the general of Voltysk, and his squad consisted of 70-foot soldiers. She was hence called the 'the one-eyed cyclops' from since then.

Lady Cecilia Heller with an eyepatch on her left eye wore, the Knights Scout full body male uniform, tight pants, and shirt walked the hallway passage. She owned dozens of Medals that were attached to her shirt pocket. Her companion, the female knight officer, wore glasses and had a long pony-tailed hair. She had a bulk of reports and files at her grasp. She was the personal secretary of Imperial Knight commander, Reeve Joneta. She walked behind the commander, in the hallway passage that leads to the Assembly Hall.

"This year we got lot more students than last year. I guess there's an increasing amount of Noble classes families joining the Barracks. Everyone seeks, the White Knight title but not all of them were even worthy."

Lady Cecilia was the first to break the silence,

Reeve took just a second pause, to recall the records,

"Well last year, we had almost 6,000 students and this year it has risen till 9,000..and before that was around 5500 in ..."

"Well It's all right, I didn't ask for the details! Let's get this Inauguration ceremony done already!" Commander interrupted, while still had irritated expression,

"I don't get this what's the necessity of this speech and stuff! Students who want to become a knight should know that they have to 'protect the honor of The Abros nation.' -Now that’s a common knowledge and has been acknowledged by every citizen in our country! So why to repeat all this Nonsensical stuff over again. I need to complete the paperwork and submit it to the chief of defense about increasing security at the North Border Frontier, that's been under constant attacks from Bandits. I didn't have a bit of sleep yesterday, night!" frowned Cecelia, while took a deep sigh.

Reeve, was a little bit pumped up as she got an opportunity to motivate the commander. A smile emerged out of nowhere, she forgot about the heavyweight books, With a cheerful and enthusiastic way,

"This Speech is about conveying an important message. You must pass this message to the upcoming generation of new Knights of our country as the duty of the Commander of Imperial Knights! You have to describe, what does it means to be a Knight and how much big responsibility we have. Explain them, how much grand and glorious this position is, share your experience and tell them to strive and master the way of Knight in this School. This speech would make them aware and also help in motivating them to devote themselves to become a Knight."

Reeve was a geek and had collected many vast dozens of data. She loved to read, and her brain was not of an ordinary human at all. Everything she reads or hears gets etched in her memory, which made her stand out. She has been termed as 'the walking library.'

Suddenly Cecelia had an idea, she turns back and holds Reeve by her shoulder.

"How about you give a speech behalf of me!! Please, Reeve! Do this one thing for me, and I shall give you a bonus on the next pay."

Cecilia was not your typical schooling teacher, and she avoided human interaction. So the role of the teacher was out of her league, as she can't stand crowd other than the battlefield.

Reeve lost her enthusiasm and was annoyed that her motivation was wasted.

" My lady I can't-do that! In the behalf of Commander of White Knights and as the administrator of The Archangel Stronghold, You have to do interact with your fellow students on your own."

After Reeve’s rejection, Cecelia again started to walk towards the hallway, while the irritation expression came back.

"I can't make a Glorious and Heart moving speeches at all. I don't like to play with words, and I didn't have the time to read and go through your speech that you wrote and gave me yesterday! The speech was SO LENGTHY, and I couldn't even understand some of the words even meant!! How can I read and learn such speech in one night, not everyone is gifted with the same Brains like yours."

"It was just a 456 words of a speech that I wrote, whereas you don't even need to know the meaning of the words in the speech. The message would easily get conveyed to the nobles as they are the bright students. And last night you were having a drinking feast with your former squad members.

How could you possibly able to learn a speech while you are Drunk?” Reeve's eyebrow twitched in anger, and she continued,

“I bet you just noticed and remembered about the speech that I gave you only after you woke up this morning! How careless can you be Commander? Now you have to say something yourself, and I won't help nor let anyone help you. You bought this for yourself. The Chief Minister of Finance is going to visit the assembly hall today as his daughter has joined the barracks! So I don't want you to disappoint him otherwise he would report to the king."

".Reeve? You are starting to sound like my mother! Try to keep it short from now on. I shall do this troublesome Speech of yours."

"Ah, My apologies but madam you have to get serious about work, other than the battlefield. You have other duties as well. Now you are a Role-model for the upcoming generation of Knights."

"I really, don't like to stand in the spotlight, but anyway I shall think something to talk at the hall. Hope everyone has assembled already on time."

"Um... what about Lucifer? are you sure to let him continue here, in this same Academy?"

"Well, this is my Academy, after all! I won't be able to keep an eye on him from long distance. It's better that he stays here. It would be dangerous to keep him away as you already know that he has been possessed, it shall be hazardous if he went out of control. I already discussed with him about training in this school, and he doesn't mind at all. I guess things won't be the same as last year as his middle school. Now he's going to learn to be official Knight, and it's his dream to be a famous and vigorous Knight."

"Haven't you told him about ‘the possession,' yet? You have not even informed, this to the King yet and it's a very crucial information. At least I think it's better than Lucifer himself should know about his condition. That would make him aware of himself, and he might take precaution from now on."

"No, I don't think it's a good idea to let him know about the possessed spirit. He would isolate himself from his brother and sister for their safety, and that might affect Rose and Armin adversely. Well, nothing has happened in this five years. We have enclosed the seal entirely. He can even spill the beans to everyone, and I don't want to make a Global Pandemic about this. So it's better to keep it under wraps, and I hope you would not let anyone know about this, I m counting on you, Reeve."

"I swear on my life that I will take your secret to the grave, and also hope that he would have a better year from now onwards."

"I bet he shall get late and make an ass of himself on his first day! If that happens, then I don't think Lucifer shall have a happy-go-life in this year too."

"That's so negative of you, my lady. You must think positively, Lucifer would try his best to be formal and not to stand out, and by the way, A woman must not use absurd language like that! You need to do-..."

"Sorry, Mom! I shall remember that, and I hope that I should be in the wrong. Now let's get going to the hall, damn this Hallway passage is little too Big, don't you think so? I think I need a ride on a horse or something now."

Lady Cecilia continued to march towards the Hall and made a Grand Entry. All the students stood in a queue like soldiers parade.

On the entry of the commander, there was an applause of Clap's all over. From her behind entered Reeve from her commander’s blind-spot and tucked away from the massive report files to another room at corner. She placed the books and returned the stage while stood aside in the corner. Started to clap with the crowd, with a gentle smile.

Lady Cecilia stood at the center of the high ground stage.

Most of the students present at the hall where the children of Nobles and Rich class family, they all had pricey and luxurious silk clothing under their white coat, the uniform of the Knights Academy. There are also a bunch of students that came from an ordinary pitiable family, some from the help of noble connections, and some were an academic-wise genius, so they got a scholarship. Such students that came from pitiable family, always kept a lower profile because they were the favorite picks for bullying. This whole regular bunch formed their own, separate queue and stood in the last row. They never once forgot their place, and where they belong.

The Sound of claps echoed all over the hall. The commander raised her hand to signal them to stop. As soon as the clap's ended, she took a serious gaze towards all the students faces with a sour look. She observed each and, every student. Everyone stood in attention with pin-drop silence, waited for the Lady Cecilia to make, a comment. After she looked all around, she smirked a grin.

‘I won the bet, Reeve. Lucifer was not to be seen here as I expected.’
