Alice & Alicia: Religious Twin Daughter

Bad News

“Sorry, Princess. I have made a big mistake,” said Maria who then took a breath, “This is a trust from the boss. We cannot tell you about the activity in Saville.”

“I understand. It was natural,” Alice's reply made Maria squint. The director of the Saville Trade Union Center did not expect that Alice would give up quickly and did not try to dig any deeper. He was grateful in his heart for it.

“At least I know what makes Sister Anna sad. I'll give her a day off after this,” Alice said as she took a breath, then chatted some things over tea with Maria. They discussed the economic development of the Kingdom el Vierum, financial turnover, food equity, and so forth. Akilla, who is the secretary of the Scholar Girls, also participated in the conversation. His experience in processing and analyzing data for several months has really made him grow rapidly without realizing it.

“Dah, Madam,” Alice and Akilla compact leaving the Saville Trade Union Center. A horse carriage had been waiting for them in front of the guild building. Quickly, they drove to the residence vi Alverio to give their farewells to Derrick and Duke vi Alverio, only then did they return to the busy Pearl Palace.

“Sister Anna, how are you doing?” alice asked as she knocked on the door of the lady-in-waiting that had nurtured her since childhood. There's no answer. Alice knocked on the door a second time. Still quiet after a while. Alice knocked for the last time. There was a loud noise coming from the room. Soon the door opened and Anna appeared from there.

“Sorry, Miss. I can't immediately answer your call,” Anna said with a tired and dull face. There were traces of crying in his eye patch. It must have been a hard day for him.

“Not a problem, I heard your sister is sick. You ...,” Alice's speech was cut off when Anna suddenly denied it, “Haha, you must have heard it from Maria. No need to worry about it, miss. I've sent the parcel to the boy. Ada ...”

“Hehe .. instead Brother has no sister. What special cousin is Brother?” Alice countered to cut Anna's words with nosy questions. They were walking into the private hall of the Scholar Girls right now. Akilla was already there reading a book.

“Dia ... good child. Definitely not what Miss thought,” replied Anna with her smile mask. It was Alice who put up a search eye. The girl will not believe it easily.

“Really? Just a good boy?” Alice asked with her plain mask. He was very sure a thousand percent that it could not be just that. There must be something Anna's hiding from him.

“Think of that,” Anna put a smile on her face, then said something she had been wanting to report since, “There are problems in the Count de Vool area, Miss. Some of the children who participated in the hunting event reportedly disappeared.”

“How about friends?” Alice took off all her face masks. His face looks very serious now. Akilla stopped reading. The hooded girl put the book down, then joined Alice.

“Nona Aristia and Miss Mainne are fine at the campground, while Miss Aria joins the expedition to search for Miss Rosemary and the other children,” Anna reports. He casually opened his account in front of Alice and Akilla, then continued, “The nearest team of researchers has detected an irregularity around the Valent Forest. They found the strange behavior of wild animals there, even animals prepared for hunting also acted strangely. They seem to go crazy because they are infected with something.”

“Is the case similar to the one in Ilios City?” alice asked ascertaining the guesswork. As Crown Princess el Vierum, in charge of overseeing the running of the government and the prosperity of the country, she always got reports on things that happened in the kingdom. That task was under her mother's control 5 years ago. Actually he is not obliged to do all the supervision weighing his age is still too young, but he is a hardworking and workaholic girl like his father and brother. If there were no holidays, he would not be playing around like today.

“Hm, so, yes. New sister tells it now after so long?” Alice looked at Anna. Agent Saville's head was just smiling. He said, “Congratulations, Miss. You got one higher access since today. Marchioness van Ryvat send congratulations and greetings to you.”

“Hah? How could it be so?” Alice did not understand completely. He wants to know the aspects that can make it grow. That way, he can focus more on determining his target.

“Marchioness said, Miss just need to run the task as Crown Princess el Vierum as usual,” explained Anna straightforwardly, “You don't need to think about anything beyond that. We better continue the discussion.”

“Has the letter been sent?” ask Mainne worriedly. The hue on his face looks bad. It had been since yesterday that Rosemary and the other Royal Academy disciples had disappeared. As of now, they have not been found either.

Aristia nodded slowly. The cloudy expression on his face was not much different from Mainne's. This morning, Aria joined the expedition to conduct a search, while she herself rushed to report this incident to the Pearl Palace with the fastest courier. It is estimated that this news will arrive at Alice tomorrow.

“Actually what happened back then?” Mainne tried to remember the events that happened yesterday afternoon. I don't know why they went into the woods. When they woke up, they had arrived at a lake surrounded by thick bushes and trees.

“If Aria didn't pull us back then, we might get dragged into it too,” Aristia thought the same. Among the children who went into the forest yesterday, only the three of them returned. Aria became furious because she could not find her other friends at that time. They returned empty handed in the afternoon.

The adults are busy searching the corners of the Valent Forest right now. Count de Vool, in charge of the event, led the search. He was also very worried about the safety of his second daughter. When the missing report came, he immediately rushed to lead the knights to assemble a search team.

“Nana, will we just shut up?” ask Melissa with a lazy face, “Our little princess is also stuck there.”

“Is your brain dull? Of course we have to come look for it right now,” Nana replied sarcastically. He was shocked to hear the unexpected news this morning. The feeling is so chaotic because of the news of the disappearance of Charlotte de Vool, “We can not let the thieves of the bastards ruin our plans. I'll burn them when I meet.”

Melissa put on a flat face. This was not in his plan. As Nana said, she could not let this happen just like that. They also cast their own flying magic. In an instant, they shot into the sky at high speed.
