Alice & Alicia: Religious Twin Daughter

Aria Research

"Grandmother Yulia, has anyone in town ever vomited blood all of a sudden?" Jasmine represented Aria asked.

"Vomiting blood? Your friends experienced it?" Grandma Yulia made sure her hearing was correct. Jasmine and Aria nodded. Yulia's grandmother continued, "Vomiting blood is caused by problems in the internal organs, especially the stomach. Did your friend drink poison or something?"

"No toxins were found, both in the food and drinks consumed," explained Jasmine.

"Is he an alcoholic?" ask Grandma Yulia again.

"That's impossible" Aria argued. Obviously that's impossible. Scholarly girls will not be given and should not drink alcohol. After all, Mainne wasn't that stupid to the point of consuming alcohol secretly.

"Oh, has he been vomiting a lot lately?" Grandma Yulia kept asking. He was like a doctor who was diagnosing patients.

"No, before he was healthy," explained Aria from behind his hood, "He had vomiting blood suddenly yesterday."

"That's it, huh?" Grandma Yulia seems to have made a conclusion, "There are some similar cases in this city. Actually, it was quite famous a long time ago. Let's just go to investigate."

Grandma Yulia got up followed by Aria and Jasmine. They left the alley where the agents of the Pearl Palace had settled. Before leaving, Grandma Yulia gave a rapier to Aria and said, "I know Princess de Ernest can use it."

"Thank you, Grandma," Aria accepted happily. He hid the thin double-bladed sword under his cloak. It would be better not to look flashy.

"A sudden illness like that?" one resident stared intently at the question, "What a poor person. He might have already offended the great ruler of this city."

"That's definitely magic," residents elsewhere also explained the same thing, "The big guys in this town like to come to the psychic to avenge the targets he hates. Y'all careful. Even though the city lord has been captured by the princess, it does not mean that everything is safe. Don't let you offend those nobles alone."

"We understand. Thank you for the advice" said Jasmine representing his entourage. They've gone to some places. The majority of people asked answered with almost similar answers. In essence, the sudden illness was caused by magic and witchcraft.

"Miss, are you the emissary of the Crown Princess El Vierum?" a man asked with a wrinkle as Aria's entourage was having a discussion in a tavern.

"Right," Jasmine replied.

The man so trembled that it made the people around him astonished. He bowed down before them and begged, "Mr Princess, please forgive me. I had suspected that the illness came from magic, but I was still not sure at the time. I'm trying to find evidence. Please forgive me."

The atmosphere in the shop changed. People are silently watching. A princess is still a princess. Very rarely does he go to such a simple shop.

"Regend! You were a healer back then, right?" aria said with a cold and distinctive tone.

"Be .. right, Princess. I was the healer who examined Princess Hamra at that time," the old man got up on his knees, "I am the original healer of this city."

"Explain your guess!" Aria's Word.

"In ... understood," the physician was still trembling violently. It was her trauma in the past that made her so. He was once captured and tortured by the city's rulers. If he had not saved one of his relatives, he would have lost his head.

Now, he is confronted by a princess envoy Crown Princess el Vierum. If he doesn't explain his hypothesis well, something worse could happen to him. Well, it's just his exaggerated thoughts. Aria wouldn't do that.

"This kind of case has happened several times. Initially, it was completely unknown the cause. However, one day a resident listened to a strange conversation of unknown people," the physician paused to take a breath, "The man reported to me that it had something to do with the sorcerer. I'm investigating it too."

"Ba .. well, Princess," the physician responded, "The disease is a witch. I've confirmed it."

"Do you know where the psychics are?" Jasmine got up from her seat.

"Typically they were hiding in the forest south of the city" explained the healer without daring to look at the face of the girl wearing the hooded robe, "The place is dangerous. Please don't act rashly by going in there recklessly."

"We understand, thank you for the information," Aria also rose up, as well as Grandma Yulia, "Come, Brother. We're leaving with the knights of Pearl Palace."

"Eh? Okay," Jasmine didn't expect that Aria would leave so soon. He had not even reported the results to Anna. "But, how are we going to take the knights of the Pearl Palace?"

"I am the scholarly girl of the Pearl Palace. Enough with the permission of Crown Princess El Vierum, we can move the knights," Aria said confidently. She immediately went followed by Grandma Yulia. Jasmine could only sigh and surrender.

...***...

"Miss Aria will do that?" anna asked as soon as she received Jasmine's report with handsfree hidden behind her veil, "Actually, it doesn't matter. We've been doing surveillance there. Miss Aria's investigation has already completed our hypothesis."

"Are you going to allow it, Madam?" Jasmine did not expect that Anna did not feel any objection at all.

"The right to give him permission is not in my hands. It's all up to the princess's decision" Anna said lightly.

"What adultery?" alice had just come out of her room. Now it's a rest session after this whole day of discussion with the executives.

"Turning on the knight," Anna was no longer surprised whenever Alice saw him using a device. He also told about Aria's investigation with Grandma Yulia today.

"What do you think, Miss?" asked Anna who had forgotten that her phone was still connected to Jasmine.

"So, that's a curse?" flames of hatred lit up in Alice's eyes. His body trembled because it remembered the memory that had just flashed. Her tears spilled to the point of surprise for Anna. He does not want his friend to have the same fate as Duchess Evianna, his mother who died from poison and the curse of an evil witch.

"Madam, what's going on?" Jasmine again asked as her phone suddenly went silent.

"Jasmine, continue with your duties! I'm waiting for you at the hotel" Anna turned off the phone. Jasmine who was still on the road had yet to finish her report. He was astonished and rushed back.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Anna hugged Alice who was crying. He patted the girl's back gently as it calmed his own sister. The little princess gave him warm words so that he quickly calmed down.

"Miss, we're here. You are the bravest girl" Anna said, imitating the way Duchess Evianna took care of Alice. The memories come to Alice's heart, caress her with longing, and pull her into the past.

It was as if Alice had heard herself saying softly, "Alice dear, mother here. Alice is the most powerful and courageous child. Alice will not be alone. God is always with His servant."

"Why?" alice said with a sobbing, "Why are they always after us? What's our fault? They killed my mother, now they want to kill my friend."

Anna stroked the hair of Alice who was still crying in her arms. He understood his non-feeling. When Duchess Evianna died, she was also beside him. At that time he was 17 years old. He still did not understand much about the matter of the princesses and the Witch Tower.

Tragedy is what makes you dig up information about the Witch Tower. He was put into the Secret Bureau's investigation division by Saville officials. It was from there that he climbed up his career until now, the head of the Saville Secret Bureau. He was determined to protect his wife. He did not want to let Alice suffer.
