Yule wasn't the most particularly fun time for Lustian, in fact, he often had a small feeling of displacement when it came to it. It had been years since he had celebrated the holiday in full, at least the way he used to as a child with his parents that is. With his caretakers, they often tried their best to make it fun but considering their residual traumas and illnesses they often ended up pushing themselves too hard in an effort to better make it enjoyable for Lustian. It was because of this reason that he'd in turn have small moments of fun to make them feel better, but secretly would worry day and out about their health. Now that they too were gone, he felt a hollow feeling where his happiness used to be. Although he had made it into the Golden Dawn, had reunited with some of his families like his cousins Dante and Alessia, the holiday was still lost on him. It no longer sparked the joy it used to and with the added pressure of now being chosen as the heir to the family, it brought with it a ton of pressure. He had spent most of the holiday season thus far, helping with the families financiers and running around and taking care of business, it was for the most part draining, and he also felt it took away from his enjoyment and adventures of being a magic knight.
His family kept pressuring him into the fact that he needed to do something, anything to better acclimate himself to the fact that he was Wilhelm first and a Magic Knight second, and that he needed to show such in his representation to the public. It wasn't until Alessia approached him with a possible solution to his latest problem of doing so that he was able to form a smile on his face. As she approached, he sprung into excitement, with a chipper tone and expression from his smile to frantic waving at his cousin who to his guess had to have just come back from praying at the church. Lustian smiled and waved to Alexander and Alexis, as they neared with Alessia, although Alessia wasn't the immediate family she was related to them as first cousins, whereas with Dante and Lustian she was a second cousin. Lustian waved to all three of them. "Hello, Lord Wilhelm" Alessia stated with a smile and chortle. Lustian in turn frowned and Alexis and Alexander didn't even bother to introduce themselves, that is until Alessia smacked them both upside the head with a frown and shouted "manners!" She had always been a strong-willed woman, and though at times she could be peaceful and innocent, she was usually stern, stubborn, and heavy-handed toward the family members. Alexis and Alexander in turn begrudgingly stated "Lustian," in unison, to which he nodded. Alessia in turn made her way over to Lustian and handed him a parchment of paper with a smile. "I believe this will solve your issues, Lord Wilhelm," she stated once more with another chortle.
Lustian in turn took the parchment, read it, and shouted "you're an angel, Alessia, and stop calling me Lord. You know I hate that!" To his surprise, Lustian had been given a mission that could solve two birds with one stone, make his family look good, and help out the citizens of clover as a magic knight. However, he decided why to do it alone, when he could have another family member he actually liked join to help. As such he sent out a message to his fellow Magic Knight and cousin to join him: Dante, and just for the disrespect they had given him earlier, even though he didn't truly care, he made Alexis and Alexander be the ones to deliver the news to him.

Dante lay in his bed, staring up at the ceiling thinking about the events of the previous night. The grand ball had gone off without a hitch with many of the attendees having donated large sums of money which had gone towards helping out the local churches as well as towards the many orphanages that had sprung up after the daemon attacks. He wasn't sure what exactly they were going to do with the money but he hoped that they purchased some toys for the kids to be able to play in order to distract themselves from this time of year. That wasn't where his thoughts currently lay though sadly even as he felt for those kids. No, what was on his mind were the words that Alexander had thrown at him, calling him a failure. He was no stranger to hearing it for the twins but this time their words hit with a bit more force this time as it played on his current insecurities. "I can't let them get to me. The only thing I can do is prove them wrong." he muttered, rising from his bed and quickly throwing on some shoes before moving towards his bedroom door, planning to head to the training ground in the back of the Wilhelm estate.
Just as he opened the door, he noted that both Alexander and Alexis were standing outside, a sour look on both of their faces and Alexander with a hand raised about to knock on his door. "What are you two doing here? If you came to rub it in my face about being weak, allow me to save you the time." he stated, not in any mode to deal with them especially after how things went with them last night. He would have loved to be able to put them in their place but the facts were that even though neither of them was magic knights, they were still stronger than him due to their father giving them training, a standard for members of the Wilhelm family. "One day though. One day, I'll finally be able to shut them up once and for all. They won't be able to say anything once I've soundly beaten them in a fight. he thought before being drawn out of his fantasy by Alexis. "Trust us, we don't want to be anywhere near you either savage. your failure might rub off on us after all but...Lustian has requested your presence. Something about taking you out on a mission, I didn't really care to stick around to find out." stated Alexis before the pair walked off, their task finished.
Dante contemplated calling out to find out more about what sort of mission that Lustian had requested him for but thought better of it. It was clear that they had only begrudgingly come to deliver the missive, probably because another family member had been there to hear what was going on so they couldn't follow the orders of the family heir without being reprimanded. Turning back into his room, Dante grabbed his Golden Dawn cloak, fastening it around his shoulders before making his way down to the front of the mansion, figuring that it would be the best place for Lustian to be waiting for him. He ended up being right as he found both Lustian and Alessia waiting downstairs chatting. Hey Lustian, Alessia. The terror twins said that you wanted me for a mission though they didn't really specify what it was that we would be doing." he said, stopping in front of the pair and fist-bumping Lustian. He didn't really care what the mission was going to do as anything would be good especially if it got him out of the house and starting to work.

Lustian waited for his cousin at the front of the mansion, he stared off into the sky, happy that he had already gotten permission to do the mission from his Captain beforehand. Lustian starred up at the morning sky, letting the cool morning breeze rush across his skin, ordinarily, he preferred to be in much less clothing, however, the cold weather wasn't something he much enjoyed even though he was used to it. As such Lustian wore a large white coat, with fur on the lining of it, meanwhile Alessia was in something similar, but it only came down to her waist alongside some leg warmers. Underneath his jacket, Lustian wore his usual outfit of white clothing, while Alessia was in stark contrast with her black clothing.
As Dante, arrived Lustian waved hello to him. "Hello, cousin, ready to get to work?" he stated as he fist-bumped Dante. He put his hands to his waist and put his gloved hands atop his eyes to look into the sky. He sighed as he'd much rather prefer to fly but considering the gray clouds now slowly overtaking the sun in the sky, and the snow falling down, flying would prove to be more treacherous and uncomfortable than a simple carriage. As such, almost as if she had already thought the same as Lustian, Alessia smiled and tapped his shoulder only to point in the distance for Lustian to notice the carriage that was now being pulled away to whisk them away to the lord they were supposed to meet.
They had a long ride to the Forsaken Region, but luckily Alessia had already made preparations and packed snacks, so as they road Lustian helped himself to food and wine, but he made sure to leave enough for Alessia and Dante to enjoy their fill. "Great job, Alessia and the food and wine are delicious," Lustian said with glee, then finally after a long ride of conversation, food, drink, and the occasional nap the trio would land in the Forsaken Region, Sosshi to be exact. Upon getting out of the carriage the trio would make their way to the nearby lord's estate, and after waiting for him for a couple of minutes they'd simply be directed to the area where they had to pack and load food, then serve it out to the general public. As such Lustian made sure to do just that, giving out food to every person that came to the wooden stall they had been assigned, from the elderly to the young he made sure to fill their plates and their cups. His mind flashed back to the times when he was young and displaced from the family. Living in the Forsaken Region, often charitable events such as this were the only things that kept him alive and fed during the winter, and as such he was more than happy to pay it forward. Upon finishing up, Alessia, Dante, and he would head back to the Lord's estate to gain their reward and head home.

As Dante walked down the stairs, he noticed the fur-lined coat that Lustian was wearing as he stared at the morning sky. It was a nice white color, one that Dante wouldn't mind having for himself though in a different color; perhaps in a blue or red. "I'll ask him where he bought it and see if they happen to come in any other colors." he thought before greeting the pair, fist-bumping Lustian. "Ready as I'll ever be. Thankfully, I was already up and mostly dressed when the twins came and knocked on my door." he said with a small grimace. He was curious about what sort of mission this was going to be given the time of year that it was. Since most beasts would be hibernating, most of the missions would be something mundane like snow clearing, gathering firewood, or helping out at local shelters. Don't get him wrong, he didn't mind helping out with those sort of things but he was simply hoping for something more exciting or some sort of adventure.
Entering into the carriage, Dante was quickly brought up to speed about what kind of work was expected of him. "So helping out with a food drive huh. And in the forsaken region too. At least whoever this Lord is thought things through and decided to help those that really needed it." Dante stated as the carriage made its way through along the countryside. He had never been to Sosshi before and the only thing that he really knew about it was that the headquarters of the Black Bulls was located there. "Wonder if I'll see Griswold while I'm out there." He hadn't seen the royal knight since the spirit festival where they both ended up participating in the zombie hunt game. That was when Dante had gotten a glimpse of what the top brass of the Clover Kingdom was capable of even if he didn't get to physically see his prowess. The lava user hoped that he would eventually be able to match that level of strength someday soon.
As they made their way closer to the city boundaries, Dante sampled some of the snacks and drinks that Alessi had pre-packed for the trip. Some part of him felt a bit guilty to be eating such luxurious foods when they were on their way to help out families who were most likely struggling to eat daily. This thought caused him to slowly set down the snacks he was eating, making Alessi turn to look at the contemplative look on his face though she decided not to ask him about him. "Maybe I can pass out some of the candy to the little kids. I'm sure that they would love to have some sweets to eat and I doubt that candy was on the list of priorities for the noble to buy." Dante thought, nodding to himself as he felt the carriage begin to slow down before finally stopping outside the house of the nobleman. Before exiting, he loaded numerous different kinds of candies into the pockets of his coat before following behind his cousins who were currently being directed on where they would be working.
The grateful looks on the faces of the families who came stirred something in Dante and made him realize just how privileged a life he had lived. Growing up, he hadn't wanted anything in terms of food or shelter as his mother had the resources of the Wilhelm family to call upon as well as that of her own business that she owned. He had never really given much thought to those less fortunate than him due to the fact that he had never really seen any underprivileged family growing up. "Out of sight, out of mind would be appropriate here I guess." he thought as he handed another box full of food to a family of 5. Crouching down, he also gave the 3 children a piece of candy each as well as a small figurine made using his lava magic for them to enjoy. Seeing the sheer joy and giddiness that they had at the sight was something that was going to be staying with Dante for a good while and he honestly might end up doing this again next year.
As the sun began to set, Dante helped the other groups pack up and made their way back towards the mansion. Even though he didn't do any sort of fighting or go on an epic adventure, Dante was quite proud of how he had spent his day and began to think about what other sort of missions that were going on currently that he could go and help with. "There have to be other families out there in need and it's my job as a magic knight to help in whatever way that I can. I'm sure Lustian would be glad to assist as well." he thought as the nobleman thanked each of the knight squads that had come out. "It was no problem Sir. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need help with anything else. It's out duty to serve the Clover Kingdom in whatever way that we need to."
