"My little girl!"
"Eek!?" Alicia yelped as her head was pulled into the darkness. It felt soft and there was the smell of shampoo that she was all too familiar with.
She had finally got back to her home after visiting Owen's grandmother's grave when someone suddenly embraced her.
"Oh, I am so glad you are safe!" Alicia's mother hugged her tightly. "I almost lost my heart when Liam told me you were kidnapped. Thank you, Owen, for saving my daughter."
"Eh, you're welcome." Owen shrugged.
"Irene," Alicia's father, Ronald, called. "Perhaps you should release our daughter before she suffocates."
"Oh my! You are right." And Irene, Alicia's mother, lifted her head from her cleavage.
Why does my mother have such... maturity when I have not developed at all, Alicia internally complained as she gasped for air.
Glancing past her mother's shoulder, Alicia could see Liam, her old driver, with a bandage on his head, sobbing his eyes out. She could also see all the other mansion staff she grew up with, looking behind the walls.
"Young mistress!" Liam cried, blowing his nose with a handkerchief. "You're safe! Oh, forgive this old man for his incompetence. I should have turned those ruffians away when they asked me for directions! I'm such a fool...!"
"Okay, okay." Alicia tried to calm the elderly driver down. "It is alright, I am safe now."
"Oh, thank you, young mistress. You are too kind." Liam bowed down profusely. He turned to Owen. "And thank you, Owen. For saving the young mistress," he said, and he received a shrug from Owen.
"Liam, you will get dizzy."
"Apologies, young mistress. I'll take my leave immediately, excuse me." And he turned to the staff, in a butler fashion. "Everyone, chop-chop." Clapping his hands. "We must prepare our lords' nightly supper."
And the mansion workers dispersed.
"All right." Once Irene composed herself, she turned to the boys, demeanor changed. "Owen, Ronald, is my daughter a Court Wizard now?"
""...Yes, ma'am/Irene.""

It was decided that the discussions about the Otherworldly Court will be out off until dinner. In the meantime, Alicia went on her usual routine that was interrupted when she returned home.
Taking a shower, she thought about that healing magic Russel did on Owen as she was cleaning off the dirt on her body. She scuffled a bit towards the skinny bald man that did those injuries to Owen.
Putting on her casual nightwear, Alicia remembered the uniforms the operators on that circular room worn, a baggy hooded robe which color she could not identify due to lack of lighting. Quite an odd choice considering what manner of technology they are operating.
Setting up her school books for tomorrow... she realized that she had lost her bag after her kidnapping, but then she saw it beside her desk. Well, she did saw the family limo that was hijacked by those kidnappers parked in the garage.
Speaking of those kidnappers, Alicia wondered about the voice that sounded into her mind, that powerful voice that compelled her to 'take its flame' which granted her the power to fight those kidnappers and save her childhood friend that tried to save her. Well, Owen did freeze the kidnappers in the end when she was knocked out.
