Alexiel's Missing?!

Riliane Asks For Shelby's Help

The date was September 17th, 2020. Shelby Gills [Deep-Sea Girl] wakes up that morning and got herself dressed. Once she was done with that, she went downstairs to greet her parents and her little brother Edward.

Mr. Gills: There she is.

Mrs. Gills: Good morning, Shelby.

Deep-Sea Girl: Good morning, Mommy and Daddy.

Edward: Shelby! Shelby! Shelby!

Deep-Sea Girl: Calm down, Eddie. What is it?

Edward: Go watch the news right now! It's about your boyfriend.

Shelby went in the living room with her brother and turned up the volume on the TV.

Interviewer Miku: That's right folks. Alexiel Lucifen d'Autriche is missing. 2 days ago, Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche got mad at him and even slapped the poor boy. He suddenly disappeared that night and he took the princess's horse with him. Riliane and her army are currently putting out missing posters around the city. If you have seen Alexiel, call Riliane immediately. Now here's Eliza with the weather!

Deep-Sea Girl: Alexiel...missing?

Edward: What are we going to do?

Deep-Sea Girl: I...don't know.

Mr. Gills: So, what was on the news?

Deep-Sea Girl: It's Alexiel. He's missing.

Mrs. Gills: Did he leave Negi Root City?

Deep-Sea Girl: Possibly.

Edward: Shelby, will he be able to come back?

Deep-Sea Girl: I don't know.

Suddenly, the Gills family heard a knock on the door.

Mr. Gills: Who could that be?

He opened the door. There was Riliane.

Riliane: Hello, Mr. Gills. May I see your daughter, please?

Mr. Gills: But of course. Won't you come in?

Riliane walked in the house.

Deep-Sea Girl: Hello, Princess.

Riliane: Is Alexiel here?

Deep-Sea Girl: No. I saw the news earlier. Sydney said he's missing. What happened between you 2?

Riliane: Well...I wanted him to have more kids with you, Shelby. It's been more than 5 months since he had Germaine. Alexiel told me he wanted to wait until having another kid. I told him I was done with waiting. Then we had a fight, which ended up with me slapping him in the face.

Mrs. Gills: Oh dear. That's not nice, Riliane.

Riliane: I know. And I wanted to apologize to him, but now he's gone. And he's probably not going to come back. It's all my fault.

Deep-Sea Girl: Don't beat yourself up, Princess. It's what Alexiel wants, after all. If he wants to wait until mating with me again, then I won't pressure him. Now, do you know where he could be?

Riliane: My army and I have searched the entire city already. If I know Alexiel, he could be back to Lucifenia by now.

Edward: What's Lucifenia?

Deep-Sea Girl: I think you mean where, Edward. Lucifenia is a different country from Negi Root City. Riliane and Alexiel were both born there.

Edward: Ohh.

Mr. Gills: But how could Alexiel go to Lucifenia in only 2 days?

Riliane: We have a portal back at the castle. He and Josephine must have went through it the night they disappeared.

Deep-Sea Girl: We need to find Alexiel. We'll help you, Riliane.

Riliane: Thank you. We need to hurry and get to that portal. Um, is it okay with you if I...you know...

Deep-Sea Girl: What?

Riliane: Get in your little contraption with you?

Mrs. Gills: You mean our car?

Riliane: Yes, that. I had to walk all the way over here.

Mr. Gills: But of course. Let's go right now.

They went outside and into the car. Riliane thought that the car was pretty neat as she was sitting next to Shelby and Edward in the back.

I'll see you guys in the next chapter!
