Alice & Alicia: Religious Twin Daughter

Letter from Marianna City

"The conditions are not kidding, though" Issac commented after hearing Lut's explanation. Regrets were clearly imprinted on his face. He seemed to be thinking something complicated

"Yes, the union is also complaining about this. Unfortunately Marianna City is outside the jurisdiction of the Van Ryvat Family" Andreas added. Before hearing the story from Lut, he had already heard from the others. "But maybe my grandson can."

"Crown Princess el Vierum?" guess Issac. He was sure not his children were meant. So it was definitely Alice.

"True, therefore we must deliver this letter from the people of Marianna City to Crown Princess el Vierum," Andreas replied, "She is a smart girl like her mother. His words were also heard by the king."

"I heard that Crown Princess el Vierum has only arrived in the capital today" Issac considered. Alice should have come since yesterday, but the little princess asked for something before returning. "Is this the right time?"

"At least leave the letter to my sister. Can it be done?" this time it was Lut who gave the advice. There were two letters he took. One personal letter, one more application. From the beginning, their plan was to ask Mainne to hand the letter over to Alice.

"It's easy" replied Issac without much expression, "If Mr. Lut wants to meet Miss Mainne, maybe we can convey it. Crown Princess el Vierum won't ban it."

"Is that so, Young Master Marques?" lut asked happily to the point of almost embarrassing herself. Var doesn't express anything. There is no pleasure whatsoever that he gets.

"We just try," Issac gave a warm smile. That's his way of thanking Lut for making his father come to visit. Previously, he had always had trouble finding the whereabouts of the old man.

"My business is done here" Andreas stood up from his place. Issac wanted to persuade him to stay a little longer. However, the old man first said, "Give this business to you. Give my regards to Lord Crown Princess el Vierum."

"All right, Father," Issac saluted Lut and Var. The discussion continued after Andreas left. They told him every detail they knew while Issac matched it with the information he had.

"So, have you known about our problems for a long time?" Var asked emotionally, "Why don't you guys act and drive the pig away?"

"Calm down, Var," said Lut, apologizing to Issac. The young Marques did not seem to care. "We've told you that Marianna City is outside our jurisdiction, so we can't do much."

"We understand, Young Master Marques," Lut representing his comrade nodded. The two young men were allowed to stay at the van Ryvat Mansion until their affairs were completed. A few days later, they received an invitation from the Pearl Palace.

Their letter came first to the Pearl Palace. Mainne is happy to accept it. His expression changed as he read the letter. After reading through all his letters, he was overwhelmed with worry and fear.

...***...

"Safety to the Lord Crown Princess el Vierum, welcome back, Princess," greet the scholarly girls. Alice returned their greetings cheerfully. This morning he was suddenly invited by Queen Clara before he could return to the Pearl Palace. His arrival was later than planned.

It's afternoon. All of the scholarly girls had already returned from the Royal Academy. If Alice had been until noon, she would have been welcomed only by the household in charge of this palace. Therefore, he did not hesitate to welcome Queen Clara's invitation.

"Fortunately I didn't meet the boy" Alice grumbled inwardly. Of course the boy meant Antonio. He was a first year Royal Academy student.

Alice has not been able to enlist there because she is not old enough. Anyway, he doesn't need it. He was awarded the Honoris Causa title a year ago because of his method of administrative improvement. So, she could instantly focus on her work as Crown Princess el Vierum.

"How's he been doing all this time? I hope the Pearl Palace is comfortable for you," Alice asked as she walked towards her office. He immediately intended to check his work that was missed two weeks.

"We are very comfortable here," Akilla replied, "Just, I still can't believe you overcame all those documents alone."

"True, the first time I saw her," said Rosemary, massaging her forehead, "I couldn't blink so much."

"Of course not alone" Alice replied, "I'm with Anna every time I check on her. I've learned so much from him."

"You mean Aunt Anna Saville?" Akilla confirmed his shadow. They were already close to the spacious office that was already like that library. "Where is he?"

"Sir Anna is in and affairs at the Saville Trade Union," Alice enters the office and as usual, there is always a mountain of parchment there. It also sometimes makes his morale to work down. However, because he considers his work as a hobby, it rarely happens.

"I'd like to request a meeting with the Saville Trade Union's supreme superior" Alice explained. He had already started tidying up the documents on his desk. Akilla and Rosemary help the little girl put the documents on high shelves.

They only intend to check for a moment because Alice has just arrived from a long trip. So he decided to take a break and invited Akilla and Rosemary over for tea while discussing something.

"Alice, a few days ago we received someone's personal letter from the Regional Supervisory Hall," Rosemary recalled something as she looked at a letter that had already been unsealed, "The man claimed to have noticed the oddity of the reports coming from the port city in the south. I forgot the name of the city."

"Marianna City, it's Mainne's home town" Akilla added. He also read the letter. Because the letter was shown to the Pearl Palace, so those in charge of inspecting it. The two of them did not tell the others because they had to wait for Alice's decision.

"really? Then I'll check it out tomorrow, "Alice put the last document in the desk drawer. It was the Pearl Palace investment document that he planned to take care of first tomorrow. "Let's rest first."

"Excuse me," Aristia walked into the administrative office in a hurry. The blonde girl's face looked anxious. He said that something had happened to Mainne. "Suddenly his body trembled after reading a letter. We don't know why. It seems like it's something bad. Madam Florence asked me to call you, Alice."

"Mainne's? Could this be related to his hometown?" Akilla. Aristia shook her head not knowing for sure. He continued to invite his three friends to hurry immediately.

"We'll see first. After all, here it's done," Alice decided. They immediately headed to the park where Mainne was. The girl was crying in a garden chair. Aria patted her back soothingly. The scholar of Florence was there as well. He brought the letter that Mainne had just received.

"What's going on?" ask Alice to worry. Although in social circles he looks cold, in fact he is very attentive with the people around him.

"The city of Marianna is in serious trouble, Miss," the Florentine scholar replied. The blonde-haired scholarly woman looked serious. He handed the letter he had brought to Alice.

After reading the letter, Alice's expression changed greatly. The anger is clearly there. Unknowingly, his left hand clenched tightly.

"Who sent this letter? Has the truth been examined?" ask Alice furiously.

"The letter was sent by the lackey of the Van Ryvat Family on behalf of Lut Hamra," the Florentine scholar replied, "We will contact the Central Supervisory Hall tomorrow."

"Begging for all the reports regarding Marianna City as well," Alice said, "Write a letter to the Director of the Central Supervisory Hall to prepare it immediately."
