Queen Magenta entered the Council Chamber and faced a large and beautiful painting of a woman. The woman moved and listened to her instructions carefully, then she disappeared from the painting.
On that moment, Master Tyrus was reading a book in their living room while Madam Leksika was doing something else in the kitchen as they had just finished dinner. Master Tyrus heard a mellow voice calling his name. He looked up to see where the voice came from, and there he saw in their living room a woman's image floating in the air.
"Lady Fancey!" said Master Tyrus out loud, causing her wife to rush in the living room.
"What did you just say, dear?" said Madam Leksika.
Master Tyrus pointed his finger towards the wall and Madam Leksika saw for the first time this lady named Fancey. She'd learned from her husband that this woman was a beauty to behold, and it was true.
"Good evening, Master Tyrus, Madam Leksika! I regret to disturb you in your rest, but I bring an important message from the queen. Prince Victor needs your help, Master Tyrus, and Queen Magenta wants you to come to the castle immediately to discuss the details with you."
"What's wrong, my lady? Is Victor back? Is he all right?"
"He's fine, Master Tyrus. He's back and he's waiting for you in the castle."
"One moment, my lady, I'll just change my clothes."
"I will open a temporary portal for you right here where I stand so you don't need to fly from here. Madam Leksika, please understand that Master Tyrus will come home late tonight. I wish you a pleasant night."
"I don't mind, my lady. A pleasant night to you, too," answered Madam Leksika.
Trobit on the other hand was playing with his mini-elf toy named Armpit431, when Lady Fancey emerged from his bedroom wall.
"Trobit," she uttered in her usual soft voice.
Trobit heard her, but he presumed he heard it wrong since no one else was in his room. He continued playing.
"Trobit ..."
At last Trobit's attention diverted to the voice and looked up to where it came from. He rose and walked slowly towards the image. "Who are you? Are you a ghost?"
"Good evening, young Trobit, my name is Lady Fancey."
"Are you really?" Trobit bowed to her. "Of course, I heard a lot about you, my lady, and it's true, you are very beautiful!"
Lady Fancey beamed. "Thank you, Trobit. I came here for a very important reason. Prince Victor needs your help and he wanted you to come to the castle immediately."
"Yes, I will come at once, my lady!" He checked his clothes--he's wearing a navy-blue robe with the name and seal of Solandia Academy of Gallants patched on the right side of the chest. "Fine enough," he whispered.
"Would you mind leaving a message to your parents before you leave?"
"No need, my lady."
"It's late now. Your parents need to know where you're going."
"They know where I am if I'm not in this house, my lady."
"Very well then, just walk through the wall, straight ahead, and you'll come out to the Function Chamber."
"Right! Cool!" said Trobit in excitement. He picked-up Armpit431, put it in his pocket and jumped through the wall.
Victor just finished dinner when Yaya came in to his room. "Your companions are waiting for you in the Function Chamber, my prince."
