Aria slowly picked up the useless flower on the ground before placing it in the side of her waist band of her skirt.

Her father completely changed to his "happy" self and opened the doors with a calm face but had a frantic aura. Aria also learned to change her face over the years and simply pattered part of her bangs to cover the bruised side of her face.

Even as they tried to come out as if nothing happened, Aria couldn't get the look of Ernaline's complicated expression out of her head. She knows. Does she?

"Sorry for that General Ophelia. I will write a statement that I want to to give to that Emperor." He said putting his hands behind his back not intending to move from his place at all. Instead an Onion Goblin ran in with an ink and quill with animal skin paper ready to scribble down for the king.

He made sure to look straight in Ernaline's eyes as he spoke.

"Dear hypocrite, I see you finally came off your high ass and bothered to help that termagant woman. Even after offering peace you still sit on everyone that howl and rub their bodies on your shoes like a dog in heat. You dared to even poke at the heir of the Unjustified Realm and suggest that she had something to do with it. If you want to actually act like an emperor instead of sending your dogs to investigate for you, I would be seeing you at my door step.
King Amon."

The Onion Goblin was trying as hard as it can to keep up with the fast pace before it finally finished soon after and sealed it to be sent to the heavens. King Amon didn't take he's eyes off Ernaline the whole time even if it made her uncomfortable. He then turned his body to leave the room before taking one more glance at her, "Leave. Take those other gods with you."

Ah, so he did find out.

Ernaline gulped before turning to Aria, "Hey, are you oka-"

"Quick let's go before the others get in." She said quickly and grabbing Ernaline's hand.

"This ain't working." Lorelei said calmly.

"We know." Desi said walking backwards to view the rocky structure.

Denzin looked back and forth between the two, "Maybe we have to wait? The king of the Unjustified Realm wouldn't go as far as to kidnap someone from the Divine Court."

Desi glared, "Yeah let's wait for them to injure and torture her."

Denzin couldn't win against him so he only shrugged in reply.

But what could they really do? The Unjustified Realm portal only let's in who it wants and now that they think about it, a bunch of Divine Court Executives and Dignitaries suddenly storming into their territory and demanding a reason would look threatening. But they were there on the behalf of the Chrysoberyl Emperor.

They silently decided to sit and wait for the goddess to hopefully find her way back or if Aria sends Ernaline back through the portal.

As if they heard their prayers, a small pink figure fell out of an activated portal with another small green figure. The rest who were sitting in the floor waiting were now stood towering over the two women.

"Ernaline!" Desi quickly grabbed her arms to pull her up before slightly helping Aria who was already half standing up and dusted her robes.

"Wow you must really care for them." Denzin smiled in amusement.

Desi rolled his eyes, "Shut up."

Aria noticed the two newcomers to the group so scrambled to greet them. "Lady Dianthe! Didn't know you was here."
