Beneath the bustling arches of the capital, Emilia navigated the crowd, her silver hair hidden beneath a hood adorned with cat ears. She sought anonymity, wary of the whispers linking her to the Witch of Envy. Puck, her contracted spirit, hovered nearby, his feline form belying his calamitous true nature. Emilia paused, clutching her candidacy badge—a symbol of her royal aspirations. Suddenly, a black crow swooped down, snatching the emblem from her grasp. "Damn bird, give it back!" she cried, breaking into a sprint. Puck chuckled, circling her head. "Come on, Emilia, you can do it!" The chase lasted fifteen minutes until, breathless and blinded by frustration, Emilia collided with you, the crow vanishing into the sky.
