𝕬s the three dark witches dragged their angered friend away, the rest of the girls look at each other in confusion.

"I- I think it's best if we call it a day for training don't you think?" Doa suggests trying to sound optimistic.

"Yes you're right" Arpina agrees, dusting Indra off as she helps her off the ground, avani grabs her sword from the corner trailing behind as the girls walked back into the palace.

Azura on the other hand watched her fellow dark witches talk in hushed voices from afar, confused on their behavior. Although she might not have been friends with them personally, she knew them due to their positions in the kingdom, and they had a rather good reputation, hence the future empresses choosing them to tag along, that, besides their ancestoral bloodline.

"Azura?" Doa yells from afar, only then does Azura realize how far away the princesses already were from her.

"Coming!" She quickly yells back grabbing her bow and arrow and running towards them.

In the palace, the girls help their shooken up friends to her room. Her ladies in waiting preparing another bath for her as she sat by her window lost in thought.

"Indra you should eat something" Arpina suggests putting a bowl of enchanted fruits laced with a bit of an energy spell on her stool.

"Don't.." she began with a bit of disgust on her features ".. I wasn't hurt or attacked or killed, so can you all stop acting like I'm some weakling" she spat a bit angry.

"Indra that's not what we're trying to Do-"

"Well it feels like it" she says not looking back at her. Arpina felt a bit of a pain in her chest. She looked at her friends as avani walked towards her and whispered. "Maybe we should leave her alone". Arpina nods her head before walking towards the door.

"Wait" she hears indra's voice say as she looks back at her. She rubs her eyes tiredly as she looks back at her friend.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take out my anger on you" she explained making Arpina smile knowing that her friend would come around.

"It's alright, we understand" she replies sitting besides her best friend.

"It's just that, Someone I thought I would bond with hates me. I mean she's my only relative around my age and since I'm an only child I was excited but this...I didn't expect this" she explains.

"If I may, Indra..." Azura begins before Arpina could reply. "... The girls, especially Luna, have a very good reputation back in our realm, I don't know where this behavior came from, but I beg for it not to affect our alliance, please?" She adds pleadingly.

"Ofcourse Azura there's no problem, one witch can't determine the behavior of an entire realm" Indra replies.

"That's the spirit, now your bath is ready, when you're done meet us downstairs we're going for a tour with the girls" Doa says with a smile. Indra smiles back at her as her Ladies in waiting lead her to her bathtub and the girls make their way downstairs.

As Indra got ready the rest of the girls changed out of their training wear and into their Royal attire, giving them their usual regal and sophisticated look. The royals chatted in the lounge as suddenly the four ladies join them. The atmosphere immediately becoming tensed.

"Your heighnesses" Amber says with a smile, bowing before them as her gold colored gown bounced."forgive us for the delay, changing back into our outfits took a bit more time" she said with a nervous laugh.

"Yes um, we heard we'll be going on a tour? Where's princess Indra?" Talia asks looking around the room nervously.

"I'm here Countess Talia" Indra says entering the room as she answered her question. Before Talia could reply, Luna steps forward looking down as she neared the princesses. In a quick movement, the viscountess smiles and bows before kneeling before the princess surprising Everyone.

"My deepest and sincerest apologies your heighness, I have no idea what had gotten into me. You see my family had spited yours for the longest of time as they felt cheated that their descendants had to pay for our ancestors mistakes, and that unfortunately rubbed off on me. But seeing you all here and seeing you attempt to remove that narrative, I see I was wrong to judge you, I'm sorry" she explains at the Princess's feet with their head held down.

Indra looked at her stunned, shock written visibly on her features as well as the rest of the girls.

"I- why, ofcourse Viscountess Avonelea, I had taken nothing to heart" she replies.

Luna looks up at her and smiles. "Thank you your heighness"

"But nonetheless, you are forgiven. Now please, get up" she says helping her off the ground. Luna smiles, suddenly hugging her almost throwing her off her feet.

"Uh alright ladies the coach is here it's Time to go" Avani cuts in, they nod and leave the room together. Getting to the entrance they're met with a gold colored carriage, with two familiar royal transports stationed at the front.

"Are these Pegasi?" Sage asks intrigued by the animals infront of her. A breed of White horse with wings on its back were saddled to the carriage.

"Yes their our best royal transport" Avani replies with a proud smile. Her kingdom breeded most of the animals in the light realm Making her attached to a number of them.

"My goodness they are so majestic" Talia said as she caressed the manes of one of them. "I know" Avani beamed.

"Right we better get in then" Arpina says as the guard helped her and the rest of the ladies inside the cuishoned Seats of the carriage.

The girls strap in as the Pegaseas began to run onto the runway before gaining enough speed as they took to the sky, flying the carriage high above the clouds of the kingdom.

"Oh my this is astounding!" Amber exclaims at the Captivating sight.

"Beyond astounding, it's thrilling, just the thrill I was hoping to find" Azura says excitedly. The girls beamed at each other happy to share their experiences with their newest guests.

"Well then we're making our first stop right down here" Indra says as they quickly land at a spot. It was the town square of the Mediteranian kingdom, where the fountain of Aquaria, a spring fall dedicated to the Queen Aquaria, who fought as a representative of the Mediteranian kingdom during war. The girls get down slowly trailing down the brick made streets leading to the fountain.

"Queen Aquaria of Mediterranea.." Luna read at the bottom of the fountain, the name igniting a hazy memory.

"This is our great grandmother Luna, the wife of the man who started your lineage in the dark realm" Indra explained as she marvelled at the beautiful structure infront of them.

"It's beautiful your heighness, I'm so glad I finally get to see a part of my lighter heritage" she replies with a smile. From afar the other girls nod at her in approval.

As they finished marvelled at the sight, they got back into the carriage on their way to their next stop at the kingdom of Keithia, happy, that their first royal tour was going well.
