[center][h3][color=fff200]--Lisia--[/color][/h3][/center] [@PaulHaynek] [color=fff200]"Thank you Doctor Elma."[/color] Said Lisia with a weak smile. She watched as the nurse made her way out of the infirmary. However, just as she left another familiar face came walking in. [color=fff200]"M..Mother?"[/color] Lisia said in a rather stupefied voice. She then listened to her mother as she told her how her father the king was disappointed that she lost her match to some no name dark elf. She seemed to be infuriated that the training her family put her through went to waste with just that one match. After Lisia recovered enough, she was to return to the palace as soon as possible. The Queen stormed out promptly after tell you off; Lisia got the feeling that it was full of simple spite rather than parental discipline. More than that, she thought of her father. [color=fff200][i]How can I possibly face him with this shame...?[/i][/color] Regardless of her feelings, Lisia knew better than to disobey her parents and/or keep them waiting. After getting herself together the best she could, Lisianthus got dressed in her normal garb and began to walk out of the infirmary. Unless someone stopped Lisia for her attention, she would begin her long trek back to the royal castle. As she walked, anyone would be able to notice the somber and zoned out expression on her face. [hr] [center][h3][color=9e005d]--Hisana--[/color][/h3][/center] [@PaulHaynek] [color=9e005d]"Enishi, I believe in your native language the proper phrase would be [i]ja ne[/i]? Teehee~❤️"[/color] With that last tease, Hisana escaped from the investigations, having successfully killed Juan. She was a little disappointed that masked sorcerer saved Keith from being stabbed as well, but oh well. There's always next time. She heard Enishi muttered a curse at having her slipping away, which tickled her inside. Later that knight, Hisana meet up with Annabelle back at her alley hideout. Anna of course, was not pleased that Keith ended up being captured. He apparently knew just as much about their operation as she did, indeed he could end up compromising everything. Of course Hisana couldn't care less, but she decided to keep the charade up for a bit longer. Anna then interrogated Hisana as to how all this happened. [color=9e005d]"Dear me, I'm afraid it all stemmed from Keith's brash attitude and terrible memory. Even after I was nice enough to show him a picture of one of the investigators I was well acquainted with, he still ended up mistaking him for an innocent bystander who turned out was a sorcerer of some kind.💧 He began fighting Keith for self defense, the skirmish prompted the other investigators to spring forth.[/color] Hisana held the back of her hand to her head as she spoke, feigning distress for the sake of irony. [color=9e005d]The beast girl joined the masked magician against Keith, while I took on Enishi and a guardsman who was summoned by some sort of teleportation magic."[/color] Using the hand that rested on her forehead, Hisana seemed to have pulled 2 cards out from the back of the hair. She then continued her explanation. [color=9e005d]Then, two unexpected characters entered the scene, A young man and a mage who wore a cloak. It's worth mentioning that the hooded man has a tiger that has the ability to cast ice magic; I recognized the mage from the tournament, guess he must have either lost or forfeited his match if he has the time to aid civil servants. Anyway, they tried to apprehend Juan from our custody. I injured the boy and killed Juan, the but the masked mage took Keith away via teleportation. That's pretty much the gist of it.⭐"[/color] Done with her explanation, she held the two cards out for Annabelle to see. One had a picture of Enishi, and the other had a picture of the masked sorcerer that Keith attacked. [color=9e005d]"Now tell me dear, does this masked man look [b]anything[/b] like my beloved Enishi?[/color] [hr] [center][h3][color=00aeef]--Enishi--[/color][/h3][/center] [@Frozen0Titan] [@CitrusArms] [@ZAVAZggg] [color=00aeef]"Hisana, get the hell back here!!"[/color] Were Enishi's last words before Hisana made her escape. The bounty hunter looked in shock as he saw that Juan was killed by the escape ploy. He turned to the knight for a moment. [color=00aeef]"Knight of Razelia, forgive me. We couldn't save that nobleman for questioning. But your assistance is greatly appreciated."[/color] He then made he way over to Lumina. [color=00aeef]"Lumina-kun, are you all right? You narrowly escaped those cards, no injuries I hope? Thankfully that masked man was able to capture the thug from last night, so we still have someone to question."[/color] Noticing the hooded mage and and young man, Enishi made his way over to them next. [color=00aeef]"I really don't like the idea of different people getting involve in these clandestine affairs, but you have my thanks for your aid. Tell me, who are you?"[/color]
