Lord Zaizen was eating his breakfast when the spy came.
"Milord, I have here the account of everything that has happen on the Second Princes' journey. I heard the one called Robin pour her poor little heart out to the one called Raven. I had to bite my hand hard so I could not laugh at how pitiful she is. Here milord, what do you wish of me now?" the man asked. He stayed in the shadows of the room, and then he tossed a scroll to the older man.
"Thank you, Shadow. Now all I want you to do is keep an eye on the blond. Find out anything you can. When I tell you and when the time is right kidnap her; hold her for ransom and then I want you to kill her in front of her sister." Lord Zaizen said.
"What should I do with black haired witch?" the man asked.
"Kill her, keep her do whatever you want to her." he said carelessly.
"Thank you milord, enjoy your meal." The man said and disappeared. Lord Zaizen started to read the scroll and smiled as he read the account of one Robin Sena-Hellsong.
Amon's room.
Amon laid in his bed; he couldn't stop thinking about Robin. He sighed and got up. He wanted her to forget about him, hoping if she did forget about him, he could be his old self again. Amon got dressed and was getting ready for court when someone knocked on his door.
"Enter." He said, he turned around and saw his brother standing there.
"What is it; I'm going to be late for court." Amon said turning his back.
"You bastard, how can you be so emotionless when you broke that girls' heart?" Syunji asked his brother.
"Because, if she forgets about me, then she will have a better life. Besides, I cannot marry her, you know why. I can tell that she wants to be married to someone, I can't be that someone. No matter what I want, I cannot have it." Amon said.
"I'm glad you are being so open with me. Brother, maybe there is a way to get you out of the contract?" Syunji said.
"Forget it brother, you were able to pick the woman you loved to marry. Only one of us could do that, you knew. Shall we leave now?" Amon asked as he secured his sword and was leaving.
"Of course brother." The two left Amon's room and as they walked to the Great Hall, they past a door way. Beyond the door were Robin, Raven, Yurika, and Miho. They were talking and holding the baby. Amon looked and caught Robin's eye, they stared at each other for a moment and then both looked away.
A large grove a trees some where...
A woman in a thick rose colored cloak stood by a horse and her lady in waiting, the woman was waiting for her father's spy to return. She knew that women were supposed to remain seen and not heard, but she did not care.
'If I want something, I get it.' she thought. A figure in a black cloak appeared and bowed before the two ladies. The woman and man walked out of ear shot distance from the other woman.
"Milady what do you require of my services?" he asked.
"I want to know what you told my father. In addition to that I want you to tell me when you finish your...errand. I wish to see the birds when you acquire them. I shall pay you well for them." She said, indicating the large pouch she had on her hip. "If this will not satisfy your greed, then I will satisfy your lust sir."
"Of course milady, however, what of thy future husband? Is it not his duty and honor to deflower his wife?" he asked, bowing still and his mind coming up with ideas all its' own.
"I have long since been deflowered sir. Do we have a deal sir?" she asked, not wanting to waste anymore time than she already had.
"Yes Milady. I shall have a scroll of what I told thy father in the marrow, I bide thee a safe journey home." He said and vanished into the shadows.
'My plan is going as I had predicted. Now what shall I do of...'
The old chapel.
Raven had her sister sit down as Yurika, Miho and herself set up dozens of unlit candles.
"Sister why are you doing this?" Robin asked.
"Because I do not believe thee when you said that you have used thy magic everyday when on thy trip. So thou will perform our standard test." Raven explained as she put the last of the candles down and went to her sister's and friend's side. Robin sighed as she stood up and looked around.
"All the candles." Raven said.
"Yes sister." Robin replied and concentrated. She tried lighting a few candles on her right side, but only got nine out of thirteen. Her sister made a sound of displeasure. Next Robin tried lighting the candles on her left; she got ten out of thirteen that time.
'She lied.' Raven thought as she watched her sister catch a pew on fire.
"Oh no!" Robin said, but Raven used her power to put it out.
"Keep going dear." Miho said gently, hoping not to discourage the young fire witch. Robin nodded and continued. In the center of the room there were fifty candles, Robin manage to light thirty. After a half hour of lighting and un-lighting candles they were finished.
"I am deeply disappointed in you sister, fore I believed you when you said that you used your power every day and thy aim was perfect." Raven said.
"I am sorry, forgive me. I felt like the Prince would not feel comfortable when I used my powers." Robin said referring to Amon with formalities. The three other women heard the cold and the venom in her voice when she referred to Amon.
"Sister, from now on you are practicing with me everyday." Raven said as she put an arm around her sister. Miho and Yurika left ahead of the two sisters.
"Oh, your highness, Lady Yurika. What a pleasant surprise to find you two here." Lady Touko said as she stopped in front of the two younger women and bowed her head.
"Hello Lady Touko, it is a pleasant surprise to find you here." Miho said.
"I was hoping that you ladies would join me for lunch on the morrow." Touko said bowing.
"Of course we would, wouldn't we milady?" Yurika asked giddy.
"Yes, that would be wonderful. I would like to get to know my future sister in-law." Miho said, she acted like she was happy about, but really gagging.
"Oh that thank you, you two are too kind." She said and bowed before the two women and left.
"Yurika, my friend, who shall tell Raven and Robin?" Miho asked.
"I was hoping you would, milady." Yurika said as they started to head to the Royal Nursery.
"No, I think you shall." Miho said as they went in.
