Caroline sat in stunned silence after she heard the headmaster's announcement. What he said got stuck in her head, each word cutting at her self control as they echoed through her thoughts. Eleshir attacked. The palace has fallen. All slaughtered. Caroline felt her control start to break, and abruptly stood. Tears in her eyes, she ran from the hall, wind already picking up around her. She needed to find someplace safe, someplace private with nobody around. Just as she was passing one of the towers, she felt herself being pulled off the ground. Just as she was about to scream, she heard a familiar voice. "There, there Carol, what could have my little genius all worked up?" Caroline looked up at the woman who was holding her, blinking through the blur of tears. "M-mother?" she asked tentatively, afraid that she was wrong and not understanding how she could be right.
Elizabeth McArthur held her daughter for a while, stroking her hair and humming softly, and once she had calmed down asked "Now tell me what could make my daughter, a girl who didn't shed a single tear after breaking her arm as a child, cry like that." As Caroline repeated what the headmaster had said, Elizabeth's expression went from concern to astonishment, through despair and into rage. Quickly suppressing the anger for now, Elizabeth stood up and started walking toward the assembly hall. Pushing the doors open in front of her, she strode into the hall with Caroline on her heel, trying to get her mother to calm down. Cutting directly across the room toward the headmaster, she stopped directly in front of him and glared at him, a look that had caused many proud men to think twice about challenging her. "Where did you obtain this news? I was in the palace just yesterday, and there was no sign of any invasion. Surely the queen would have..." she trailed off, realization suddenly dawning on her. "Is that it?" she mumbled to herself, falling into the nearest chair. "I knew the queen wasn't acting like herself. Why would she keep such a secret from me?" She looked around the room, as if someone there might be able to give her an answer.

Eidren and Charles, two dominant personalities working together without a clear leader named. I don't think they're gonna get along...
Charles turned to Sigmund, considering him for a second before nodding. Without another word, he bowed to their hosts one more time and turned, leaving Kurotori there and hoping he could help. Thank you, Sigmund, I'm glad you have a cooler temper than mine. I'll see what I can do about getting us onto a crime scene. He said directly, while opening a second link to Kurotori. I'm sorry to ask you this, but could you stay here and try to smooth things over? I'm afraid I'd only cause more damage. If you need any of us, reach out to me with a thought. I'm going to leave a link open to you.
A minute later, they were standing outside of one of the victim's houses. Not many people were around, but the ones who were there were looking directly at them. "Alright, I have an idea." he said, eying Sigmund. switching over to telepathy, he continued I assume you're not a stealthy kind of holder, and I don't think we want to be seen breaking in. What do you think about me going in there and being your 'eyes', relaying what I see back to you?
wow. even more surprising than what will eventually happen to Caroline, which nobody but us two could see coming (probably)? be careful nobody dies of heart failure.

Just to let you all know unexpected things are about to happen so be ready for confused characters!Also Wernher: The statues across the Academy are magically enchanted to attack any unauthorised armed presences on the Academy's grounds so your men might have a nasty surprise awaiting them.
Just for clarity, is it going to be as unexpected as Caroline's plot?
You have helgland statues on your side?
I thought you were waiting.
