"Marie."
"Ah, Qing Jue! what brings you to Belladonna Hall?"
The woman asked, cocking her head to one side as look at the black hair man with a curious gaze.
"I like to speak to your lady. It's urgent."
"Lady Violetta?"
"Yes, please. This is very important. It concerns my master!"
Marie seemed to get the memo and hurried into the hallway, emerging a few minutes later, bowing.
"Lady Violetta asks you to go in to meet her."
"Thank you, marie."
Qing Jue nods at the woman and walks briskly down the hallway to find the violet hair lady seeming perplexed as she prepares a pot for tea.
"Qing Jue greets The Camellia Diviner."
"Qing Jue! Good, good. Come and sit down."
The purple hair lady ushers him into the seat across her, looking rather...happy? No matter, he should just tell her what he saw.
"Lady Violetta, my master...she's awake!"
"I...I'm sorry?"
"I know you wouldn't believe me, but I saw and talk to her! The White Wizard, Lady Athanasia Neraida Kardis!"
"No, no. I know she's awake! But how do you know? The spell should have affected you."
"...Spell?"
"The other buffoons cast a spell to alter the appearance and name of Athy in people's memories. Even the painting and tapestries of her covered up. They want her to recover naturally. Giving her the position now puts her in a precarious position."
"...I see. Lady Violetta, you aren't really going to stand by and let her recover her memories herself, do you?"
"Of course not! Hmph. Oh, keep this from the other students, the less people that know, the better."
"What if they remember?"
"The spell...it's less effective on those who are closest to her. They should be fine."
"...if you say so, my lady. I'll take my leave now."
"Mm. Oh, wait. You are going to Castitas Mountain?"
"Indeed."
"Take Soraya with you."
"Why, Lady Violetta?" Qing Jue asks with a tilt of his head, seeming puzzled. Lady Violetta simply flicked his forehead, tsking.
"Silly boy, just like your teacher. She misses you, of course!"
Qing Jue blinks and sips at the tea, Violetta looking at him expectantly.
"...oh. But she'll missed the banquet you're holding."
She groaned at his response, looking annoyed at his response. Qing Jue and Athy were both intelligent, but utter blockheads.
"Just go, and have a swell time with my student, there will be plenty of banquets in future."

"Athanasia! May I come in?"
"Jeanette, shouldn't you get ready for the banquet?"
"Mhm! Father wanted to me to give you this."
Athanasia takes the large box from jeanette and opened it to find a light blue dress that has a ruffled collar and circular flounced sleeves, the skirt hen reaching to her knees, with a pair of silver heels, a sapphire necklace and tiara.
