As was usual, the doors swung by themselves, allowing her to enter. [color=feec96][b]"Please excuse me."[/b][/color] The white-haired girl promptly sauntered forward as they closed behind her; she soon occupied one of the vacant chairs facing the Grand Minister's desk. Now face-to-face, Lucette was again reminded just how similar she looked to Liliana; with matching clothes, it would be justified for unfamiliar observers to pass them off as sisters, with Lily being the older one, coincidentally true in both physical [i]and[/i] chronological sense. This fact made slight blushes crept onto the younger girl's cheeks, not sure whether Liliana was specifically teasing her about it or was it just a mere coincidence. Lucette blinked, debating whether to humor the other silver-haired girl or not, but since they were in private... she guessed there's no harm if it would make her happy; God knows that Liliana deserved every bit of warmth she could get in these trying times. [color=feec96][b]"Very well... Big Sis..."[/b][/color] Lucy's voice faltered a bit, no doubt trying her best to hide her embarrassment; did Liliana do this with everyone or just her? It'd be nice if it's the former-... but wait, on second thought, the latter would be better since the other could imply that Liliana was starving for affection. [color=feec96][b]"I have a few matters to talk with you,[/b][/color] The untransformed angel got right to business, she didn't want to waste the Grand Minister's time for a second longer than necessary, [color=feec96][b]"The last operation went well for the most part..."[/b][/color] She then began summarizing the events that transpired at the abandoned construction site last night; the bewitched innocents, the giant pageless, and the birth of the Lady of the Lake among other things. While indeed that most things went well, there were a few concerns to express, one of them was related to the bearer of Clas Myrddin's sister grimoire, Le Morte d'Arthur. [color=feec96][b]"As you may have known, Chinami Nadakai - Camelot - has been using the Round Table to feed the homeless and destitute on an almost daily basis. While I have little doubt that she has nothing but altruistic intentions, this careless use and blatant exposure of magic to the common folk are more dangerous than it's worth. I've tried to warn her of the possible dangers, but she never listened..."[/b][/color] Or else they wouldn't be having this conversation. Lucette closed her eyes for a moment as a heavy sigh left her lips, [color=feec96][b]"In that very same night, Pageless attacked the Round Table and its attendants, I am to believe that some of the horde were attracted there from the main bulk at the construction site, lured by her magic. Fortunately for them, Camelot was still there to protect them and no more of the creatures arrived after she left, hopefully. However, if she's going to do this daily... how long will it take until she slips and innocents are devoured? What's the merit of feeding them if she's just unwittingly fattening them up for the Pageless to consume?"[/b][/color] Although Lucette kept her tone calm, someone as sharp as Liliana could definitely see the passion underneath. [color=feec96][b]"I think it has gone on for far too long and we should nip it at the bud before actual lives are lost,"[/b][/color] She continued, [color=feec96][b]"Our enemy aren't mindless beasts, something sinister is pulling their strings... and I fear Camelot is playing right into its hands, her sense of altruism overpowering rational sense. I'd never claim to know more about King Arthur's story more than you do, Big Sis, but... I'd prefer if Chinami doesn't follow his tale to its tragic end."[/b][/color] She paused to let her words sink in before asking the million pounds question. [color=feec96][b]"What do you suggest I should do?"[/b][/color]
