(Freed POV)
This is absolutely the last thing I want. I don't want her to get hurt. I don't want her In danger. I don't want her far from me. I... I want her with me.
I shake my head slightly. Calm down. She can handle it and you will follow them. It will be ok. I follow Sophia through a long corridor where the maid had said the constables daughter was. We enter the room on the end, where she sits on a bed reading. She looks up at us slightly startled then stands and walks over to us.
"Greetings wizards, how may I be of service?" She smiles kindly.
"Iv come up with a plan for us to find the missing girls but I will need your help." Ella explains. Isabell nods. "I know many of them I will do anything to save them."
Sophia sits her down explaining her plan, as well as she would need to borrow one of her outfits. She agrees.
I look at Sophia. She was completely different from when we first met. The shy timid girl who ran into me now took on a strong and confident form. It was stunning.
"What do you think Freed?" Her voice pierced my thoughts. I look up and nod slightly.
"Mhm."
"You think his powers will over power mine? " she asks in a confused tone.
"S-sorry! I mean no, I think you should be able to handle yourself." I put my hands up defensively.
"Oh! Ok. So tonight I will change. Pretend to be sneaking out in where he will take me. And you can follow." She nods at me surly.
"Very well..." I mumble in reply.
"I can hem one of the dresses so you don't trip." Elizabeth smiles at Sophia.
"Thank you!" She smiles.
"You should leave then sir... she needs to..."
Elisabeth starts to say to me.
"Ah! Yes sorry! I'll be outside working on my runes." I give a shallow bow to the two ladies then step out.

[TIME SKIP

I let out a small sigh, I was tiered, all of the runes had been set deactivating any magic that enters the perimeter. I yawn and let me head rest against the wall. The door next to me opens softly and the maids that had entered earlier walked out chatting excitedly. I straighten up and watch as they pass.
Isabell steps out and smiles at me. "Presenting Sophia, daughter of the constable." She opens the door and sophia steps out in a floor length dress and a full face of makeup and her hair done in an elaborate manner, I feel much cheeks flush.
" Do I look passable?" She asks looking up at me, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear.
"Like a true elite." I nod respectfully, Isabel was also now wearing what looking like a maids smock, a quizzical look to her induced her to say.
"Sophia said it could help me blend in, as well as the assassin hasn't killed any servants yet..." she smiles softly a slight bubble erupting in her voice.
"Ah, that makes sense, good idea." I nod at sophia who smiled softly.
We should all be ready for tonight then.
Sophia nods at me, she seemed so confidant, why do I feel so sick then?
