A short while after this incident, Vincent arrived at the Benedict mansion with his entourage. He was quickly brought up to speed with what had occurred earlier in the day, and when he asked Prisca what the origins of these assassins were, Prisca replied that she didn't have any idea. Vincent equally wasn't sure, though he offered Prisca that he would try and investigate about it when he returned back to his mansion. During their talk, they were interrupted by [[Cecilus Segmunt]] coming back from his patrol of the surroundings. He quickly took note of Arrachia, who was beside Prisca, and riled her up, provoking her into attacking him. Cecilus defended against her attack with one of his katanas, and pulled out a second one, holding it against Arrachia's neck before sheathing them again. Following this turbid exchange, Vincent commanded Cecilus to stop this, since he had no intentions of making enemies with Prisca yet. This wording didn't escape Prisca's ears, and she eventually asked him if it had begun. To which, Vincent replied that indeed it had, that the Emperor Selection Ceremony had begun, and that she too would need to come to the Imperial Capital. |

Sometime later in the Imperial Capital Rupgana, Prisca, Vincent and all the other living children of [[Drizen Vollachia]], the 76th Emperor of [[Vollachia Empire|Vollachia]], gathered in a building for the upcoming Imperial Selection Ceremony. As they waited for the Emperor to make his appearance, [[Lamia Godwin]] came over to greet Prisca and Vincent; however, Prisca didn't take too kindly to this, and told her to vanish from her sight. However, Lamia continued to taunt her, and brought up the attack that had happened back at her mansion, causing Prisca to burst out in anger. Eventually, after Lamia had moved over to talk to Vincent, the Emperor made his appearance. Nearly all of his present children kneeled as he walked through the building, however, several of them including Prisca, Vincent and Lamia did not bother to pay him any such respects. One of Prisca's older half-brothers, [[Minor Characters#Rommel|Rommel]], took offence to this and called her out on it. However, Drizen was not displeased by Prisca and the others' lack of respect, rather, he was okay with it. He queried Prisca personally about why she hadn't paid her respects after he'd silenced Rommel, and Prisca replied that she saw no value in waiting upon him, and that he'd grown old. She brought up the mantra of the Empire, "The people of the Empire are Strong", mentioning to him that she couldn't think that of him, who was the person standing at the apex of those teachings. This response greatly pleased Drizen, and he then turned towards Rommel and offered him to try holding the Yang Sword Vollachia, which he had just summoned from mid-air. Rommel tried to grab it, however he was incinerated. Straight after Rommel's death, Drizen went to grab the hilt of his Yang Sword, however, he too was incinerated by it, having lost his qualifications as Emperor presumably due to having grown weak. As everyone else was occupied watching Drizen's death, Vincent called out to Prisca and after exchanging a brief glance Prisca grabbed the Yang Sword that had materialised by her without any hesitation. Similarly, many other Yang Swords had materialised by the other candidates, testing whether they possessed the qualifications to wield it. And so began the Emperor Selection Ceremony. |

Summary
Part 1
One day at the Barielle Mansion, Priscilla Barielle decided to read a story from a book that she described as being something like memoirs to Schult. Schult attentively listened as Priscilla began to recount the story of her ownself to him.
Over seven years ago before Natsuki Subaru was summoned into the world, there was a young girl of around 11-12 years of age called Prisca Benedict. She had crimson eyes, porcelain white skin, orange hair and wore a luxurious red dress. One day at her mansion, the girl who had named herself Prisca was readying herself for the visit of her brother, Vincent Abellux. She first went to eat a meal, which had been taste-tested by her poison tester. However, the poison-tester had been poisoned, and had hidden the effects of the poison from the girl called Prisca. As a result, both of them were poisoned leading to both of their deaths. However, it was quickly revealed that this Prisca was just a stand-in body double that the real Prisca had employed to ward off assassination attempts, which were common when it came to Vollachian nobles. Prisca, who had shown herself in the dining hall, knew that the maids present had conspired to kill her and were actually assassins. Prisca ended up in a scuffle with them, but with the help of her closest servant, Arrachia, they easily dispatched of them, with Arrachia using her Spirit Eating powers to burn the majority of them.
A short while after this incident, Vincent arrived at the Benedict mansion with his entourage. He was quickly brought up to speed with what had occurred earlier in the day, and when he asked Prisca what the origins of these assassins were, Prisca replied that she didn't have any idea. Vincent equally wasn't sure, though he offered Prisca that he would try and investigate about it when he returned back to his mansion. During their talk, they were interrupted by Cecilus Segmunt coming back from his patrol of the surroundings. He quickly took note of Arrachia, who was beside Prisca, and riled her up, provoking her into attacking him. Cecilus defended against her attack with one of his katanas, and pulled out a second one, holding it against Arrachia's neck before sheathing them again. Following this turbid exchange, Vincent commanded Cecilus to stop this, since he had no intentions of making enemies with Prisca yet. This wording didn't escape Prisca's ears, and she eventually asked him if it had begun. To which, Vincent replied that indeed it had, that the Emperor Selection Ceremony had begun, and that she too would need to come to the Imperial Capital.
