Mycroft frowned as he looked at the queen, but she was just as frustrated at the situation.
"So you want me to collect this woman and retrieve the papers of the scandal?" Mycroft asked.
"Actually, it's more than a scandal, but it will involve your sister's world itself."
What?
"The papers about a secret scandal are just a cover. These paper contain classified information about a group of Gifteds. If the information gets out into the world, we may see another Witch Hunt all over again. That's why your sister is at stake. The people she protects in her world are at stake. Get her help, no exceptions!" The queen ordered.
"Of course, your Majesty."

Shernette frowned as she sees a letter from an Austrian king, but she can tell it's phony.
It had been a week since the Stag case, and Mycroft informed her that classified papers concerning her world had been stolen. She was instructed to retrieve them or destroy them if nessicary.
And then there is the matter on Irene Adler.
What was her angle?
If she knew about the secret magic world, she would be spouting about it to the world by now. The fact that she believes they had information about a scandal in the Empire makes it sound like she got the papers confused.
She walked to the phone to call up some old allies.
"Sunyeong. Gather the others outside the city. We have a possible Code Blue."
".....I see."
Shernette sighed as she looked out into the night sky.
If she's not careful, Moriarty may catch her sooner than she thought.
------------
Next time, Irene gains an unexpected visit, but Shernette's reasons for the papers are different than she expected. And she learns a greater secret that the queen had been hiding.
