"Did you see this happen? I mean Theodore had gone through the familiarity test beforehand not to mention was changed in his attire for the tournament. Once I and Randolph left there was an amount of time that something could have happened," 

Maxence really wanted some answers to help with his investigation.

"I thought I saw an envoy had taken Theodore away from the group they were going to be dressed in their cloaks for the unveiling. I didn't want to look too obvious to notice. I lurked and watched the envoy take Theodore to the portal that deposits souls into the world below. The envoy had for some reason then fished Alice out of the crowd of souls cloaked them and placed them in Theodore's place,"

This was purely the information Maxence needed to know right now and the urge to take drastic actions and report had risen.

"We should notify the Adviser at once," 

Maxence said promptly though the lower class reaper protested the idea.

"No, it could jeopardise the tournament, especially for your contenders. You're lucky the Grand Master had allowed the change to occur that normally wouldn't happen at all. Best you let things play out," 

The lower reaper spoke quickly in hush tones Maxence was eager to leave them and pursue after Maddie.

"Maxence I feel like I know who they are. It's not possible for them to even be here,"

The lower reaper expressed their concern.

"Someone you know.... Maddie has been a top-level reaper for a while now. You might have conversed with them,"

"Listen to me, does the name Mandy Walker ring any bells to you," 

The lower level reaper watched Maxence's eyes widened at the name.

"Yes, that was the woman that Randolph had somewhat a married life with. Mandy had been Theodore and Alice's auntie due to the death of their parents," 

Maxence looked into the lower level reapers eyes noticing they were blue and their eyebrows were very much like Theodore's and Alice's. There were peaks of red hair that came out from the grey hood they wore.

"I'll tell you this Maxence keep this to yourself. Mandy Walker was my sister, not physically possible for my sister to assimilate a reaper form she never was one of us,"

"If Mandy was your sister, Mandy never mentioned anything besides,"

"Maxence I can tell you already figured out. My identity which I keeping secret for many reasons,"

"I need to report this to the Adviser more so the Grand Master. Maddie and Brian trying to sabotage our chances in the tournament," 

On that note Maxence left the lower class reaper his mind now determined to try and tell his soulmate. There was an opportunity there for something to happen even though the race had gone ahead with the changes Maxence and Randolph were unaware they had a traitor in the midst.
