The next day after Eileen dropped Erza off at the school she went to the Director's office.
When she got there Eileen and the Director, Zeref were meeting.
"What did the doctor say?"
Eileen looked at him.
"The doctor told me that I have Lamington's disease."
Zeref's eyes widen then he sat back in his chair.
"Does Erza know?'
"No."
Zeref nodded then pulled out a record.
"Honestly, I'm not supposed to do this."
"Do what?"
Invel, Zeref's right hand looked at her.
"In our academy anytime a student becomes an orphan we give them a quarter of the semester to find a sponsor. If they can't find anyone then we transfer them to the next academy."
Eileen was in shock.
"So what are you going to do with Erza? She's in the Honor ranks of this academy and always has been in the past."
Invel adjusted his glasses.
"Yes she is but this academy holds records of stable students."
Zeref looked at Eileen.
"I'm extended her time by double. For now she only has you and if she were to find out now she won't be focused on anything else."
He then handed her a check.
"During her time I will allow her to stay in the staff housing."
Eileen nodded then stood up to leave.
"Eileen."
She looked at him.
"Yes?"
"Take the rest of the semester off and if you plan on taking Erza with you then you may. I will excuse her from all her exams and classes."
Eileen nodded then left.
She went out to her car and drove to the bank. She couldn't look at Erza, not yet.
When Eileen got to the bank she took out all over her savings and bonds then went home. When she got there she went online to see if there were any rooms for the Ruby Sphere Hotel. She booked a room for two weeks which covered for Christmas and New Year's. After that she got plane tickets to get a ride to the hotel but one that would be returning.
When she was done she began packing until she saw that it was time to pick Erza up from the academy.
As they were on their way back home Erza wondered if something was up so she looked at her mother.
"Mom, is something wrong?"
Eileen glanced at her daughter then smiled as she looked back at the road.
"There's something for you in the glove compartment."
Erza looked at her mother and got what was inside. When she saw it her eyes opened in shock.
"Plane tickets? For what? Where are we going?"
"To the Ruby Sphere Hotel."
Erza's eyes went into extreme excitement.
"Really?!"
"Yep. We leave in two days."
When they got home Erza wasted no time as she tackle hugged her mother to the floor. Eileen smiled at her daughter and hugged her back.
Go ahead and pack up."
"Alright."
Two days later
Eileen and Erza were on the plane riding in first class. The ride was fun then they arrived at their stop which was a taxi place to the hotel. When Eileen saw the line she didn't like how long it was so then she and Erza took a helicopter to the hotel.
When they arrived at the hotel both of them were amazed at the sight of the hotel. It was the sight for a rich family there were angel statues in the ceiling and white flowers on both sides of the grand stair case.
Eileen checked in and Erza's eyes widened as she gently tugged her mother sleeve.
"Mom, look."
Eileen looked at her daughter then turned to see who her daughter was looking at.
Standing at the top of the stair case were two men.
The one of the left was a tall and slim man. He had dark tanned skin and a mane of black hair that hung to his lower back. He wore a three piece black suit and black gloves. He wore black leather shoes and had dark green eyes.
The other man was also tall and slender. He wore a black suit as well but he wore a tailed black coat. He had dark tanned skin and his hair was put into cornrow braids that hung to his lower back. He wore leather black boots and white gloves.
Eileen looked at her daughter.
"I don't get it."
Erza looked at her mother.
"That's the Severin Brothers. The one on the left is the Mr. Rhonith and the other is his younger brother Mr. Nyxiah."
Eileen looked at her daughter then the lady behind the desk smiled at her.
"We are very pleased that they come to our hotel every year at this time."
After getting checked in Eileen and Erza headed to their room.
When they got to their room Eileen and Erza wasted no time to plop onto their shared king size bed.
"So relaxing."
"indeed."
Just then Erza smiled in a sneaky way as she climbed on top of her mother and began to tickle her. Eileen flipped them over and tickled her daughter back.
When they were done with their tickle war Erza looked at her mother.
"What should we do first, Mom?"
Eileen looked out the window then spotted a clothing store.
"Let's go shopping."
They both got their room keys then left out of their room.
Elsewhere in the hotel
Rhonith and his brother Nyxiah were both at the bar having a drink.
Between the two Nyxiah looked meaner because he always had an expression on his face that looked like he would kill anyone at any moment. His brother on the other hand just had a frown then Nyxiah spoke.
"What do you think so far, brother?"
That was another thing, they both had accents.
"I don't know but I thought it was my imagination earlier."
"About the two women that had scarlet hair."
"Oui."
"Who knows, we just might see them again."
"I hope so."
