After the ball was over, April started on her way to her room. She wore out. It was hard for her to keep up a fake smile while being disliked by everyone.

"April?"

April turned towards whoever called her name.

"What do you want Chris?" She asked, noticing it was one of her father's guards. He had shaggy blonde hair with hazel eyes.

"I thought you would like to know, your father has ordered me to "take care" of the sinful sister. I am afraid your efforts are going to be all in vain." He told, waiting for a reaction.

"Do as you wish. I do not care at this point. She serves no purpose to me."

"You may say this, but do you mean it? I find your words hard to believe your highness. I am 100% sure you know she poses a threat to us, so why would you keep her alive. It's best to take her out before she learned to use her powers."

April looked away, turning her attention to the creamy walls. "Why would I try to protect her? She is part of the reason why everyone looks at me with disgust in their eyes."

An amused chuckle slipped out from the guard. "She would be the only one that could kill the king. That's why."

April glared at Chris before leaving him.

~/// To Alexis ///~

"Faster, you're going to slow Alexis."

"I-I'm trying Oramis."

"Harder!" He yelled out.

Alexis fell to the ground in exhaustion. Oramis looked down at her panting form. "I guess that's enough sword practice for today."

(hehe...I hope Y'all weren't thinking of anything dirty at first >;3)

Alexis glared at Oramis. "What was all of that about!?"

"You need to get better." He said, crossing his arms.

"For the past two weeks, I have been practicing a lot. Why have you all of a sudden gotten harder on me?"

"Stop complaining. Did you really think I would go easy on you forever? Now, how would you learn?" He asked.

Alexis puffed her cheeks.

"Ah, how amusing," Tristen commented as he Alexis up.

"Shut up....but thanks for helping me up." She faintly blushed.

Tristen pulled her into his chest and smirked upon seeing her face grow redder. He smoothly leaned down, just a few centimeters away from her face. "Would you like for me to help you relieve some stress?"

Before Alexis could say anything, Oramis pulled her behind him and away from the pervert. "Don't suggest such sinful things to her, you filthy vulture!"

"Why do you have to be so cruel to me Oramis?" asked, pretending to be sad.

Oramis looked down worriedly at Alexis, completely ignoring Tristen. "Are you okay? He didn't do anything too bad to you, did he?"

"You were just being all jerky to me earlier, why be so nice now?" Alexis asked, her arms folded.

"So you would rather me let him continue?"

"N-no it's fine."

"Okay then..."

Tristen sighed. "You're no fun. When I try playing with her, you steal her away. It's not like she belongs to you." Tristen narrowed his eyes at Oramis. "Or did you already take her?"

"Of course not! I would do such a thing without her consent!" Oramis yelled.

"But you would with?"

"...Why don't you just shut up, you filthy pervert!?" Oramis looked away, feeling his face heat up.

"The both of you are perverts!" Alexis announced, trying to control her own blush. "Can we just g-"

Before Alexis could finish, she was tackled own. She looked into a pair of green eyes with her blue hues. The stranger smiled innocently at Alexis. "Hi hi!"

Without saying anything, Alexis noticed the female stranger had cat ears and a tail. She reached up and started playing with her ears, ignoring Tristen and Oramis who, at this point, are facepalming. "They are so soft...." Alexis mumbled before stopping.

"Th-thank you...um...my names Hannah a-and...I-I'm here to talk t-to an Oramis?"

Tristen pulled Hannah up onto her feet. "That would be me, darling, how may I help y-"

Before Tristen could finish, Oramis slapped him. "I am Oramis. Please ignore that ass excuse of a man."

Hannah looked between the two of them. "O-okay?"

"Why are you looking for me?" Oramis asked.

"Well you see, I have been staying with someone by the name of Oxlicon. He told me to find you and give you this." Hannah pulled out a letter from her pocket and handed it over. "He seems mad you didn't attend the ball."

"Who is Oxlicon?" Alexis asked.

"My brother." Oramis sighed.
