After Ernaut and Genevie had undertook the "test of mind" earlier, they overheard some townspeople talking about a meeting regarding mayor Wally's new schemes, as if Wally had finally had some new tricks on his sleeve to take down Ernaut as last. Ernaut wanted to investigate, but Genevie decided to investigate for herself because Ernaut would end up using his powers trying to find his way and if Wally saw Ernaut during his meeting he would've been in big trouble with no way out, so Genevie decided to volunteer instead as she'd be easier to sneak through than Ernaut. It was a very risky challenge, but Genevie still decided to undertake it for herself to find out.
It is already midnight in the Nexus. Genevie was having the feeling of investigating what were the people of Castlemore doing at night, because earlier she had witnessed some townsfolk talk about a meeting with Wally at nighttime while they pass new laws, with a law she knew that would be against her forever. Genevie was slowly walking from her estate while Ernaut was still sleeping, she had been walking, walking very quietly to avoid potential noises to alert anyone, because unlike Ernaut, she doesn't have any powers to even assist herself. Not to mention, she's not using any witchcraft because she is being suspicious on what Wally and Shion are currently planning to get rid of Ernaut. At first, Ernaut wanted to investigate, but Genevie knew that would be too risky for Ernaut despite his ability to use his powers without anyone noticing, because the guards would've easily caught Ernaut easier because he was already a wanted fugitive in Castlemore.
Genevie had no choice but to begin at nighttime while Ernaut was already asleep, so she had no potential of actually waking him up. As Genevie knew, anything that could alert her would actually be enough for things to change at her own situation; getting to Castlemore and finding out what Wally was planning to get rid of Ernaut and Genevie, which obviously meant that Genevie would have to let go of Ernaut tomorrow while he goes on to Evergrove.
Carefully, Genevie knew that she shouldn't make any noise to alert anyone of her presence, and she would also know that the people of Castlemore would already know that she's defending Ernaut, the boy who got the Tear of Heaven and is currently on the run from them, but Genevie also knew not to make a sound on the way out, so she insisted on avoiding potential noises by walking very carefully. She was walking through the forest without making any noises while also keeping track of any potential trouble; whether it be guards or anyone else on the lookout for Ernaut. Sure, not many people work at nighttime, but the guards usually have their eyes and ears open to keep on the eyes for any potential trouble, such as criminals or any wild animal threats. Yes, it is common for crimes to mostly take place at night, the time where most people are asleep usually due to their nature of being hidden out of their sights.
Upon entering the fences of Castlemore, Genevie knew she had to sneak by the areas to get to where the town hall could be so she could hear what Wally was planning, because she was getting worried of Wally's plan to take care of Ernaut, and when to release him to go away from her as far as possible. Genevie remembered when Ernaut got to her estate while he was on the chase from Castlemore's mob trying to get his head for money just for being possessed by the Tear of Heaven, an artifact that no one believed in, and how it all started it all; the Tear of Heaven fell down in Castlemore, Ernaut grabbed it and unlocked it into his body, but no one believed where it came from or why is it here, because they're never used to studying research outside of the Kingdom of Nexus, apparently "if there's no legible evidence, don't bother" was a standard to Wally at all times.
Genevie was in the suburbs of Castlemore, and right now no guards were seen. During her sneaky approach to the town hall, she noticed that Ernaut's estate, as indicated by ruins, was already destroyed and never repaired, which was started by the Chromas and the reason how Ernaut got convicted of identified witchcraft and started everything that would get in the way of his journey. She also saw Janice's estate, with a notice that the previous owner of the house has been arrested with a note saying "Defending Ernaut, the boy with unidentified witchcraft". She lastly saw what started the chain reaction that might've been why Ernaut escaped from Castlemore and was on the chase from an angry mob, a wanted poster for Ernaut with reward saying 100 diamonds in it. To Genevie and most people of Castlemore, 100 diamonds meant a huge fortune. In Castlemore's currency, 1000 pieces of gold would be 1 platinum, and 1000 pieces of platinum would be 1 diamond, so that meant 100 million gold to anyone who takes down Ernaut. Genevie knew this poster was made to join Wally's crusade to take down Ernaut and stop whatever is causing the Chromas.
"Making it through the suburbs of Castlemore. No guards to be seen, and the coast is clear." Genevie said to herself while walking quietly through the area. This was the time where most people are either asleep or attending Wally's meeting. There wasn't anywhere else to go. She saw where Ernaut's original house was, as indicated by the destroyed remains. She even saw Janice's house and a notice that the "tenant in the house was arrested" on the door.
Genevie finally made it to the window of Castlemore's town hall. There, she saw Wally and Shion planning out an act as indicated by the audience by the tall windows. Genevie needed to listen carefully on what Wally was planning out that could be bad news for Ernaut.
"Now, what we need to do now is pass this new law. This would make it that all witches and wizards are illegal to have in the Nexus. That means, we will get rid of that defender Genevie and get our reward on our fugitive Ernaut, so that means Ernaut will be out of options, and we'll have him cornered in no time!" Wally said, declaring to pass a new law via the signature he had with the inked feather.
"Good work Wally! That way, I can get my fill in no time and get rid of that annoying pest!" Shion said, looking gritty with the feeling of victory on his face.
"Now, what we have here are our votes. Out of 93 votes, all 93 of those votes are for this law, so that means we won in a knockout!" Wally said. "We're going to have to pass this so we can get rid of Ernaut and get rid of those Chromas as well and whatever else stands in our way! This will be the new direction the Kingdom of Nexus has to face, since we know that boy is using such witchcraft that he expects us to believe but we don't, and we'll be able to make an even safer tomorrow!" After Wally made this speech, the audience let out an applause with some cheering.
"They're considering Ernaut the reason why those Chromas are here?" Genevie noted. She discovered that they thought Ernaut is responsible for bringing the Chromas to the Nexus, even though it was likely linked to the Tear of Heaven, not Ernaut himself. Although Ernaut was capable of fighting the Chromas and even defending himself from such actions, Wally thought that he himself brought the Chromas in most likely because he choose to "mess with the tools of the unknown", or should it be called the Tear of Heaven.
Genevie gasped when she overheard that Wally had been passing new laws to stop her, and she knew she was becoming fugitive at this point. She knew that this was her last day of partnering up with Ernaut, and Ernaut would have nowhere to go after that. Where would Ernaut go and plan to continue on his journey? Was there a way to get to Evergrove and continue on from there?
"Oh no, it looks like I have to let go of Ernaut tomorrow, because they're going to set up a way to get rid of me everywhere, it seems like Ernaut will be on his own during his journey tomorrow, but the ship that Ernaut is to go to, the ship for Evergrove, arrives tomorrow, if Ernaut has got the right strategies and powers from the Tear of Heaven, I think I have high hopes of him going on his own to Evergrove tomorrow on his own, but I don't know what they're going to do with me anyway.
Upon looking through the area, Genevie saw patrol guards that were marching around Castlemore, Genevie knew that she had to get out of here after getting what she needed to know, but getting out of here was a very risky choice, she had to avoid being seen by the guards or else they'll take her in.
Genevie saw a stack of wooden crates and a rack of shields. She looked up to see a guard that was patrolling the area. Genevie knew what to do; she had to take a shield and then slide it on top of the crates to alert the guards in order to buy her some time to the next area, but considering how the guards were patrolling, Genevie knew that she needed to take advantage of everything to get out of here. It was one of the riskiest challenges Genevie had ever taken in her life; sneaking through guards without being noticed.
"Hey! What was that?" the guard said, upon the sound of shields being knocked to the ground. The guard then walked towards the fallen-down shield. Using this tactic, Genevie stealthily walked her way over to the other house, and avoided the guards by walking in the shadows and avoiding their sight. After quite some risky dodges and dangers with the patrolling guards, Genevie finally was bound for the exit of Castlemore's boundaries.
Upon leaving the fences of Castlemore, Genevie ran and ran her way back home. Genevie went through her biggest nightmare; being cornered by guards with no means of attacking them and the only way out was to take a risky escape, but it was for a reason; acquiring clues on what could Shion and Wally be planning to get rid of Ernaut. In conclusion, it was obviously up to no good, getting rid of her so that Wally's crusade could finally get to an end, but Ernaut would still push through via sneaking into the boat and continuing onto Evergrove.
Genevie went back to sleep back on her bed. She didn't want to disturb Ernaut in his sleep, so she figured to wait it out until the morning, and she knew she had to let go Ernaut on his own, but tomorrow was also the day that the Galleon, the ship that would come and board passengers to Evergrove, would arrive.
"Dear Diary. If you're reading this, then I am no longer able to support you. They're passing a law that makes me unable to continue my career and I'll be taken away by the authorities quickly afterward. They likely have spotted us and are planning to up the game even further by making it so they now believe that you, Ernaut, are the one responsible for bringing the Chromas in, even though these Chromas come from the Unknown and what they think is the "mysterious crystal", the Tear of Heaven, is too dangerous for even a Nexusian to handle, and should be condemned to the highest level of security; sealing it away forever. I wish you good luck on the journey to Evergrove and whatever it awaits after you, Ernaut. Good luck." Genevie wrote on her diary before she went to bed and wanted to tell Ernaut about the notes about what happened in the meeting in case she was unable to tell him the morning that the ship arrives.
