At exactly 5:55 in the afternoon...

Sir Tigreal showed up to pick up the three. The tea party and afternoon itineraries ended peacefully, aside from Harith who became scared of drinking his bubble milktea because he almost choked on the tapioca pearls. All was well in the end when he was given another glass of the lavender milktea but without the sinkers.

They loved the mild sweet taste of the milktea Guinevere made. And it tasted heavenly when it was paired with the cream puffs and doughnuts the two leonins brought from their fave pastry shop. The aroma emitting from the lavender tea was very calming.

As additional parting (and apology) gift, Guinevere gave Granger a small pouch filled with lavender buds so he could add it to his tea collections. The three guests held on to their boxes of the preserved flower as they boarded on to their car. Some swan servants followed them behind to load their chosen flower pots at the back of imperial SUV. The Baroque siblings together with the swan servants, all had satisfied smiles on their faces as they bid their young guests goodbye.

Nana chose a preserved pink rose because she wanted to be graceful and elegant in the near future; Harith picked a blue rose because it was his favorite color; and as for, Granger, the young marksman unexpectedly chose a preserved lavender rose. He didn't specify his reason and just shrugged.

The duckling rested in a small cage on Nana's lap. It was very tired after the ruckus it made earlier at the guerrilla tea party. The black duckling was so energetic and even tried escaping. But thanks to Molina, the duckling was once again neutralized and caught.

When their car arrived at the Lightborn Castle parking lot, they saw Prince Dyrroth being escorted out by Princess Silvanna and Fanny. He looked pissed and stressed out at something and slammed the black van's door. The van sped away, leaving dust particles. Then the three greeted Moniyan Empire's heir to the throne when they got out of the SUV.

"What happened?" Granger asked. Nana ran up to Fanny and hugged the orange haired girl.

"That brat-- I mean Prince Dyrroth barged in on our meeting with the Queen of the North and accused Princess Silvanna of kidnapping his attendant. Thankfully the Queen Aurora was very understanding and even promise to help search for Sir Helcurt. " Fanny replied as she ruffle the young feline's hair.

"Don't be like the prince okay, Nana? Accusing people is bad!" Nana only nodded.

This is why Granger doesn't like Dyrroth, he's a spoiled brat and would wreak havoc if ticked. At first he sympathized with the lost Moniyan prince since they were a bit similar; misunderstood due to their aloof appearance. But he later on found out that Prince Dyrroth was a prankster and a foul-mouthed asshole. And it didn't help that the prince was the reason why his winning streak in Rank was cut short in the previous season. He was an awful teammate!

"Well that was an understandable reaction of my little brother. I was after all the last person Sir Helcurt talked to and he had been missing for almost 24 hours now." The princess sighed.

Princess Silvanna's face showed concern for her younger brother. The prince came back to the capitol on his own accord and was staying here for the rest for the year as vacation away from the Abyss but now his trusted aid was missing.

"He couldn't be contacted but if situation calls for it, I'll be using the Citizen Tracker. My poor little brother would be so sad without his aid."

"We can't do that, your highness! If we use the forbidden app, our citizen's privacy will be exposed! You know everyone's whereabouts will be revealed once used." Fanny was alarmed. The app shouldn't be used carelessly and to find a mere Prince's secretary at that! The citizen's wellness should be top priority!
