Considering Aphmau and Irene have the same physical body that includes their brain too so I'm merely assuming that her plan is to have Alex and Vylad actually breakout Hailey while Aphmau talks to Lord Jana trying to figure out where the relic Lord Jana is hiding during the conversation.

I hear guard yelling a few floors up the Lord's house and so that means that dear Aphmau is speaking to Lord Jana. I had served my time here as a noble guard here so I'm sure if I speak to Lord Jana myself she'd trust me more.

When I reach the doors of Lord Jana's study I'm promptly push out of the way with two guards dragging Aphmau somewhere.

"Take that filthy creature out of here immediately and to the asylum for her jabbering of being Aphmau!" Lord Jana exclaimed.

Aphmau gave me a stare that said 'please help me!" I took one glance and turned my head towards Lord Jana. She was more important at the time.

I kneel on one knee and hang my head low. "Ahem, I'm sorry to disturb you of an massive event happening later today, but I really need to discuss something with you that may bring down the whole world including your empire if you don't make the right decision." I said formally.

"Alicia? Is that you?"

"Yes m'lady."

"Please, come in. If it's that important I suggest discuss this privately."

"Very wise." I said. We walked in the study as Lord Jana shut and locked the door.

"So what did you want to talk about and why is it so very crucial." She questioned.

"Well I need Hailey freed-"

"FREED?! Do you know what you are asking?! I need her to expand my empire."

"M'lady, please let me finish. I need Hailey since she is the only witch that is a descendant of Kul' zak. And so she must be the holder of his relic." I lied.

"So? How is that so crucial to the entire world."

"Shad is on the loose and the only way to banish him once again we have to have all of the relics and descendants together before he finds the rest of his relic and destroys the world."

"Oh my divine. That's a very difficult decision." She said pondering.

"Not only do only need Hailey, but I also need the relic you're hiding."

She simply paced back and forth thinking of the outcomes of the decisions that she might make.

"Alicia, I'd love to help you, but if I do let you take the relic and Hailey I need a rational reason for Hailey's sudden disappearance and a duplicate of the relic."

"Not a problem I'll make a duplicate and a reason is that Pikoro Village isn't worthy of conquering."

"My, my you think so efficiently. The deadline of duplicate in my hands is 2:00 pm. We'll switch when walking by each other in the center of the town square. I'll spread the word of Pikoro's unworthiness. Hailey will be in a carriage that will lead her to the shore. Deal?"

"Deal"

I walk out of the house and to my surprise I see Vylad and Alex sitting on the doorsteps. They must've gotten kicked out.

"Hello boys!" I say.

"Alicia, what were you doing in there?"

"Making a deal with Lord Jana on getting a new relic and Hailey back. However we have to create a fake relic before 2:00 pm."

"Okay, but where's Aphmau?"

"Oh she's in an asylum."

"Alicia! Why aren't we rescuing her then?" Vylad scolded.

"Would you relax for a minute. We'll rescue her later."

"Fine." Vylad said.

"We're not only rescuing Aphmau. I planning on keeping Alex instead of sending him to a foster home."

"Wait! We're going to adopt a child! That's so wonderful. Does that mean that you're the mommy and I'm the daddy?" Vylad questioned.

"Heh, no. First we're not married and Alex is under your care and I'll help you occasionally."

"Okay!" Vylad smiled brightly.

"Ok anyways we have to create a fake ASAP."

"You're right but what are we even supposed to make it look like."

"It doesn't matter. No had seen it before except for the Lord herself. Just make it look worthy for a divine warrior. Now what can we use?" I say.

"I've got shadow knight blood!" Alex shouts.

"Shh! Alex don't say that so loudly or else people will be suspicious." Vylad scolds.

"I'm sorry...dad."

"Wahhhh! Alicia, he called me dad!" Vylad says excitedly.

We all head to the west edge of the town.

"If you mix the blood with lava then it'll create an unbearable stench. But if you mix it with water then it will be acid towards all shadow knights." Vylad tells Alex.

"Really?! I'll save it for later then."

In the end we ended up using colored clay.

~~~Time Skipeu To When Alicia Has The Relic~~~

"Vylad take Menphia's relic and Alex and go to the shore to pick up Hailey and wait there for me. Alright?" I commanded.

"Okay, come on Alex."

While Alex and Vylad are waiting for me at the shore, I go and bust Aphmau out of the asylum. I make sure we're purposely caught so that they won't go after her later in the future.

We're surrounded by guards near the gates.

"This is you're great plan?! To get caught?!" Aphmau sarcastically says.

"Look I'm not here to hear your sarcasm and sassiness." I say towards her.

I wait for m'lady to walk out before me.

"Alicia! What are you still doing here?!"

"M'lady, this is the real deal Irene here and she can prove it."

"What in earth are you saying?! I can't do that any more." Aphmau harshly whispers to me.

"If so, do it. Heal someone." The Lord spoke cockily.

"Alicia, you better have a plan." Aphmau anxious whispered.

"Just puts your hand over my wound and let me do the rest. Also make it look cool." I whispered back

I cut my left forearn with a dagger and then healed myself. They all thought it was Aphmau's doing. They let us go to then we arrived at the shore to catch a boat to the Phoenix Alliance Island.

"How did you do that?" Aphmau asked curiously.
