The date was April 6th, 2020. Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche was up early and preparing breakfast for herself. A guard was there with her.

Guard: Doesn't your brother make breakfast for you usually?

Riliane: Yes, but he's very tired and out of energy after having baby Germaine. I want him to rest.

Guard: Ah, got it.

Riliane: Man, we are running out of food. Because of the coronavirus, it's been hard trying to find things lately.

Guard: Why don't I have another guard do the shopping for you, Your Highness?

Riliane: Don't bother. I don't want to see one of you soldiers die because of this damn virus. I swear, this is worse than Gula. Okay, I'm heading out. While I'm gone, I want you and the other guards in the castle to give me a big birthday party.

Guard: How big?

Riliane: As big as last year's, duh!

Guard: Oh, right.

Riliane: If you want to, you can call Shelby [Deep-Sea Girl] and her family to help you out.

Guard: What about your brother, Princess?

Riliane: Let him sleep. If Shelby asks, just tell him that he's very tired.

Guard: Alright.

Riliane: I'll be back soon. I expect the preparations to be done by then.

Guard: Right away, Princess.


Meanwhile, at the Gills residence, Shelby was eating her breakfast with her family. Until her cell phone went off.

Mr. Gills: What did we say about no electronic devices at the table?

Deep-Sea Girl: Sorry, Dad. I'll go ahead and take this.

She took her cell phone and went to the living room.

Deep-Sea Girl: Hello?

Guard: Is this Shelby Gills?

Deep-Sea Girl: Yes.

Guard: All of us guards need your help.

Deep-Sea Girl: With what?

Guard: The princess is going on an errand. Because of the coronavirus, we're running out of food and other supplies. And today is also her birthday.

Deep-Sea Girl: Is it really? What is the date today?

Guard: It's April 6th, miss.

Shelby looked at the calendar.

Deep-Sea Girl: You're right.

Guard: She wants the castle to be decorated by the time she returns.

Deep-Sea Girl: Where's Alexiel? Why can't he help?

Guard: The princess wants him to rest. He's still pretty weak after having his baby girl.

Deep-Sea Girl: Okay. I'll be right over.

Guard: Excellent. We'll get started.

Shelby hung up and went back to the dining room.

Edward: So, who was on the phone?

Deep-Sea Girl: It was one of the guards at Riliane and Alexiel's castle.

Mrs. Gills: What did he want?

Deep-Sea Girl: Apparently the guards are preparing a big birthday party for the princess.

Mr. Gills: It's Riliane's birthday already?
