In the same night, princess Dunishia was restless, tossing around her bedroom while trying to sleep.
But she couldn't. She involved herself with a responsibility that she didn't thought it would be to much for her.
So she stopped. Instead, she decided to do what she loved the most. Learn and analyse.
She sits on her bed, her hand going on her chin, as she started to analyse Amethyst personality, and then, on Nayoto.
Since Amethyst is a noble person as well, she couldn't help but notice that, even so having jobs, her 'richy girl personality' didn't fade away completely. With a healthy family connection and very present parents in her life, that would confirm many things that contradicted with the assumptions of others.
But, it was then where, a sudden encounter happened inside of her room.
It was a woman who enter in her room by the window. A woman of the sea it seems. She looked at the princess, and the princess looked at her, and she looked at the princess... And the princess looked at her again.
"By any chance. Where's the pink dragonet room?" The woman asked.
"Is in the line of the prince's assistants chambers." The princess responded.
The woman nod and leave the room by the entrance door.
"Wait..." Dunishia realized, the big mistake she committed.
In a hush she goes out of the bed, to chase the woman, but as she reaches the door, she stopped.
"No." She said. "It's better I make a plan rather than just chase without anything in mind..."
***
The woman was walking around, searching for the chambers line, as she complain about how she forgot to ask where the line was to the kid. She made the big work of opening every door she could find, until she finally reach out the chambers line of the prince's assistants.
She open the first door, and found exactly the woman she was searching. Aya.
She was sleeping peacefully in her bed, sound and comfortable. Carefully, the woman approached the bed, looking at the sleeping woman.
As she was about to search the circle, the temperature starts to rise up, and before she could think, a fire ball comes out of Aya's mouth.
The woman almost manage to dodge the fire ball, walking backwards and keeping an distance.
Aya sit up and directly to the woman.
"Ha! You thought I wouldn't notice your presence? You're exhalating mana from here." She jabs out.
"You must be the one of the hired ones for the test right?"
The woman looks at her confused, and just nods without knowing what Aya is specifically talking about.
"Okay then." And with what, both of them stand in a fighting position, ready to attack each other.
***
In Lun Re's chambers, Rick was already there. He was efficient, he followed where the tiger's presence felt the most.
Lun Re was trapped in both wrist against the wall, stunned by the amount of electric shocks he took.
"Oh Lun Re, you're still resilient as the times we we're teenagers." Rick coos, Grabbing his chin up. "And here I thought that, by you taking this job, your body would soften. I guess this imperial family is not like the some of the other ones that was is power of that centuries."
"Do you still remember the time that we passed together, Lun Re? Do you miss that times? Where was just you and me?" His finger started to caress his cheek. "I miss it. Sometimes, in my bed i would find myself lounging for you. But enough talk."
The metal surrounding Lun Re's wrists shines again, preparing for another shot of electric shocks.
"Now, tell me, where did you keep the scripture?" Rick voices seems to low down as he approaches unnecessarily closer. "Or do you prefer taking another shot? You're lucky i'm in a good mood, so, I will take the pleasure to search it. I won't be a brute, don't worry."
"... THE END!!!"
Rick stops, surprised by the sudden shout. Before he could even speak, He is dragged by a strong wind inside of a circle spell, being trapped inside of a trunk spell.
It was the princess Dunishia along side lady Wunxule and Aya, holding the paper firmly until she was sure he's fully trapped and folds the paper.
Her confident brave expression turns into a worried one once she looks at Lun Re, who's now on the floor after the metal disappear once Rick got trapped.
"Lad Lun Re!!" She shouts, both of them rushing up to him and crouching. "You are okay now?"
Lun Re only nodded, he had resisted to the shocks but he's body is quite numb and weak after such voltage. "How... How did you...?"
"Don't waste your strength in speaking Lun Re, you need to rest." Dunishia shush him, Wunxule took the moment to draw a healing circle. It wasn't a super strong one since heal spells they only function to make the injured person temporarily close the wounds until proper care, but it was something.
"How did i trapped that guy? Simple! By using the same spell Amethyst did to keep the scripts!" She responded, while receiving the spell from Wunxule. "I was paying attention on how he did and the symbols she used, and tried many times in my room until i did it right."
Lun Re couldn't help but giggle silently, it was a good idea and she executed it well.
"We have to call lady Amethyst, your grace. As quick as possible." Gestures Wunxule, approaching the phone in Lun Re's chambers. The princess nods firmly, starting to activate the spell as Aya puts the number down and they wait.
***
It didn't took much for Amethyst to arrive, seeing the tiger on the floor while princess Dunishia helps out, she quickly rush towards him.
"I don't know what happened to you, but you look horrible, big tiger." Amethyst comments out, opening her case and taking some medicines. "Open your mouth, this will make you better."
"Your grace, you did a great job at appearing right on time. Intelligent choice using the trunk spell." She praises.
"If... Rick was here... Then it proves that..." Amethyst shush Lun Re out.
"There is no test." Aya finishes. "But who send him and the other woman?"
"The priest, I guess?" Dunishia suggested. "He must had heard about the scriptures and decided to take it to himself. But sent different persons."
"If is truly that, then why not confront him directly?"
All of them look at Amethyst with surprised expression, as if she said something intriguing.
"What? We just make a plan, make him loose his religious position, loose his status and humiliates him in public by showing who he truly is."
"That's too much." They all say, which makes a pout leave of Amethyst.
"Let's plan this properly, with the presence of his highness if we want to keep the scriptures until the prize day." Lady Wunxule proposes. "Tomorrow morning, we bring this up."
