Chapter 9
Constance Ruche, the woman with a giant hairdo ten times the size of her (not to mention her giant pink beehive!)
May walked through the teleporter and found herself in the Enchanter of Water's conference room. The Enchanter sat there and smiled.
"Excellent. May, you have done very well. You have completed your part of the mission. Matthew, you will need more speed to get the next augury. Now, after the feast, both of you will go through the portal in the School of Enchanted Love." The Enchanter of Water told them.
May found herself back in the School of Enchanted Love and sat in the Heart Team's table. She saw Dicup whose face remained beet red. May waved her wand, taunting Dicup he could do no better. Everyone became quiet as the headmistress waved her hand in the air.
"Students of the School of Enchanted Love. We are delighted to have you back again. Year 1s, welcome. Now, we have a change in staff." Colette spoke. "We welcome Professor Loony Treah to our standardized staff of history of magic! Please give an applause!" Everyone started clapping. Dicup looked particularly smug. He mouthed My aunt! A racket went across the hall.
May was shocked, but she didn't show it. She also didn't have to deal with her until January.
"Silence!" Colette spoke "I now assign new captains for your teams!" Everyone became quiet, desperate to hear the name of the next captains.
"For Team Heart,we have Coriolis Lyre as the captain of Team Heart." Colette announced. May looked around and saw a girl with blonde and green eyes standing up. She resembled Clair, and might even be sisters!
May heard Colette finish the rest of the captains and the feast began. May quickly finished her food and waited for the feast to end. She sent letters and quickly received empty answers. Her mother would not tell her the answer to her question.
"May!" Coriolis yelled
"What is it?" May asked
"You'd better watch out! Clair told me all about you!" Coriolis answered
"It's not like I need protecting anymore nor that I am a bad girl." May snapped back. "I won't even be seeing you for half the year. Look forward to see me on January, or not if I die." May walked to the headmistress' room.
"So you got the Love augury?" Colette asked
"It's right here." May replied. She held it up. It was truly beautiful. She can't seem to lose it. The augury now is orbiting her, keeping her distracted.
"I see." says Colette. That was that. Matthew came in the headmistress' room.
"You are ready to go?" Colette asked.
"Yes, but I have one question." May asked.
"Fire away." says Colette
"Who are my cousins?" May asked. "I have been trying very hard to find out who my cousins are.
Colette laughed very awkwardly, like she was trying to hide something.
"May, I have no idea who your cousins are. You mean Constance Ruche? The one who runs the top circus in Elemente?"
"Oh, she is my cousin?" May asked
"Oh, I am pretty sure she is. She should be in Heartelle." Colette answered. "Come back to me after. You will have enough time after to get the water augury"
Colette waved her wand at May and Matthew. May and Matthew felt as if they were sucked in a vacuum.
May appeared in a beautiful circus. A woman with the largest hairdo in the universe with pink hair noticed them.
She has hair the size of ten times bigger than her physical body! May thought. And the size of her beehive, it is twice as big than a regular watermelon!
"Hello, I am Constance. Please come sit with me, cousin May." Constance smiled. "Don't mind my beautiful lush hair!"
Lush hair? To me, it looks like cotton! Cotton dyed in pink! May thought.
Constance led them to a tea party. May can't help but to sit down on the most comfortable chair which felt like moss, her favorite thing to sit on.
"So, who sent you?" Constance asked
"Oh, Colette did." May answered "She told me you might have answers on this!" as she held out the love augury.
"What is that?" Constance asked, looking very confused. May could tell that she wasn't lying. "Colette sent you here for this? I have no idea what that is. I am pretty sure my little sister Carmen Roberts would not know what that thing is either."
"Wait Carmen Roberts?" May asked.
"She is my little sister who is also your cousin. She is a Robert, because of her brown hair. I have pink hair so I'm a Beaulieu, but I married, so my last name is now Ruche." Constance spoke.
"Ruche? That isn't part of the required." says May. Constance knew exactly what May was talking about. The required is one of the four families the woman or male is supposed to marry. The families are between the Fry, Roberts, Beaulieu, and one other family May did not know of.
"If you marry another family, your family traits never pass on to your offspring. I truly love my husband, Christopher. I'm sure Colette didn't ask you to come for that!" Constance squealed "You go back where you came from"
With that, she waved her wand and sent them both back to the school.
"Any luck?" Colette asked. May shook her head.
"Alright, continue your mission. Our enemies have already penetrated our cosmos system. Hurry!" Colette spoke urgently as she shot them in the portal.
