Rufus has had it.
He stared at Leon and Jennifer Lovefield at his peripherals, and they are so lovey dovey that it made him want to vomit but he can neither say that out loud or even show it.
"I should've said no when I was asked to be the Solin's ambassador." Viola grumbled next to Rufus.
"I have to agree. I never wish to go home even more than ever." Melissa agreed.
Rufus stares at her with concern, "Are you not concerned, Melissa? This involves you. As the future Crown Princess, that girl jeopardizes your position."
Melissa shooks her head, "I never cared too much about the position. My concern is for Solin when he becomes King, and she becomes queen."
Viola and Rufus shivered upon that thought. Rufus thought of her as a skank while Viola thought she is a gold digger. Either way, they think the worst when it comes to her.
"I see that she is showing off her new bracelet. It is so beautiful. The design looks simple but you got to look at that sapphire! It is definitely made with love." One of the passing girls says to her friends who are watching Leon and Jennifer lovingly.
Viola is angry. That bracelet is a birthday gift for her from Amy who wishes to show off her jewelry making skills. But Leon took it before Viola could retrieve it and gave it to Jennifer instead. When Amy found out, she grew angry but couldn't do anything about it.
Every day is unbearable whenever they see those two and as if the day isn't already bad enough. Things are going to get worse.

Amy looked at the magic circle in the magic room and start practicing again. This is not Triponia or Arkyia but a completely new one; Ekolotis. It is sapphire blue in color, and it is made using Leon's blood.
The circle appeared in front of her, and she grabbed something on the other side and pulled out a transparent spear. The spear isn't real but is brought physically by magic. She twirled the imaginary spear around and then stabbed the wall. Seeing the damage it did, she is finally satisfied. The spear then dematerialized in her hand. When she created Ekolotis, the spear was incapable of maintaining its form for long, not to mention, it is weak. It was incapable of doing any damage like a regular spear would. It feeds on too much magic to make an imaginary weapon for even a few seconds. To make this, she used the essence of several monsters from the isles and some mermaid scales that the merman shed when she had to comfort them all that night. She added everything that can induce some creation type ability to the circle, and it is not strong enough until she finally got that favor from Leon; a small vial of his blood. Due to Leon's reality manipulation ability, it is a prize to Ekolotis and it finally gave her the result she wanted.
"I finally got it to work." she says proudly then she heard the announcement.
Amaryllis Anthos! Please report to the Headmaster's office immediately.
Oh boy,
Amy quickly packed everything up and head to the Headmaster's office. After getting there, she could see the Queen's guard in their black and purple cloaks. That means the queen is here.
Ursa appears torn between congratulating or complimenting Amy and her health and telling her bad news, "Hello again. Her Majesty is waiting for you." she says and knocked on the door, letting Amy inside.
Queen Helena and Martine Zoe are both conversing before she was called in.
Amy is surprised to see that Queen Helena looks a bit dim than the last time she had seen her. She looks tired and a bit thin, but she still maintained her dignity. If she were meeting the queen for the first time, she would not think that but after seeing her many times, she can see the difference.
Headmaster Zoe smiled at Amaryllis, "Please take a seat."
Amy sat at the seat on the queen's left.
"Now that we're all here, I have to explain my reason for this abrupt meeting." The queen explains, "You see," she turns her head to Amy, "There are issues stemming in Getel. You probably heard of Leon's infatuation with a girl in Getel. He recently sent me a letter asking to bring her to Solin. I am not entirely sure if he intends to marry her, or gods forbid if he already did. But this cannot happen. I need you, Amaryllis to go to Getel to investigate Leon."
Amy is a bit stunned to be given a mission like this. "I don't understand, Your Majesty. Prince Leon isn't the only person in Getel that came with him. Why must it be me?"
"There are multiple factors. One, everyone there has lost his trust with persuading him. You are the only one who can maintain a good relationship with him. I am not asking you to persuade him but to see why he is so infatuated with this girl. Get to know her and offer to teach and tell her what she wants to hear. Killing her is out of the question because she is Getelan's nobility. It will cause an international dispute. Two, because they are dealing with another issue while you get there."
Amy's stunned look shift into horror upon hearing the queen's next words. "Your sister, Violet Anthos is missing."
"Missing? But why?"
"We don't know. Unfortunately, Getel has ensure me that they are at work as to who would capture our Saintess. In addition to you, we will be sending members of the guard to investigate her disappearance. No one knows that she is missing, not even your parents. I understand that you wish to look for your sister. In fact, no one will be surprised to see you in Getel once they see you. You have a history of being kidnapped by Getel and now we believe that the same thing has happened to her."
Amy has trouble hiding her fury. Who the hell could kidnap her? Viola is the most attuned person she knows. She could recognize anyone malicious and hidden from miles away especially towards her. How did they bypass her senses and kidnap her?
"Rufus Valerian and Melissa Orlando have given me their word on tracking and rescuing her. I promise that I will do whatever I can in my power to bring your sister back. But I need you to promise me you do what I say." She says sternly.
Amy wanted to retort and say that she will go ahead and rescue her but seeing how the Queen looks at her and regarding her past actions, she decides to listen to her.
"Yes, Your Majesty. When do you wish for me to depart?"
"As soon as possible. There is a carriage waiting for you outside. Go to your dorm and pack as quickly as you can. You have until sundown."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
