"What do you mean its beyond your permissions" Eiji scowled. "Currently Amy is only capable of providing already publicly accessible information, the information you are looking for would require Amy to investigate further", "Okay then investigate further then" he snapped "Gladly! For just 4.4 million points a month Amy will install the skill "investigate" ,confirm or deny". "What!, those prices are extortionate." "I'm sorry you feel that way master" Amy was cursing in their heart that they got such a cheap master.
Eiji tutted his horrible temper making an appearance. "Well what CAN you do then". "If master wants Amy can help provide you with the nessecary steps to help you find more information about the original Simon's death."
"Finally some good news, do that." Amy's eyes glowed and in a projector like fashion a screen displaying information appeared in front of him.
TASK: Find out who killed the original Simon Rhea.

Eiji almost spat blood when he saw that even the hints were priced. "Amy prides themselves on their reasonable pricing (✧∀✧) "
"Reasonable my ass, how many points do I have anyways" "Master currently has 1,000,000 points, as deposited by Al'Gamoth."
Hmm that's not too bad "Amy, what's the diffrence between the 200 point hint and the 1,000 point hint"
"Naturally, the more expensive hint will provide much more precise information and help you complete the task much quicker and at 1,000 points its quite the steal" Amy said putting on their best customer service voice on.
True in the grand scheme of things 1,000 points wont make much of a dent in his 1 million points Eiji thought. "Fine, Amy unlock the second hint for 1,000 points."
"Purchase hint for 1,000 points" two buttons displaying the words confirm or deny appeared in front of Eiji, he clicked confirm. "Congratulations on your purchase". The task menu shifted and the hint appeared.

------Character Study-----
Bijou is the 4th Prince of the Human Kingdom and is the most promising out of all his brothers. He is the most talented swordsman in the empire and is proficient in self enhancement magic. He is mostly found on the battlefield commanding his army against the Demonic forces but is in the castle currently on holiday. People describe him as serious and a workaholic but he is kind once you get him to loosen up around you. He likes cats and people with refreshing personalities. He dislikes spicy food.

Finally some good information he can work with, this Bijou guy is practically a walking golden ticket. If he could get close to him, his life in the castle will be especially smooth sailing!
Eiji stretched once again and began strolling around his room, examining what was now his possessions. Simon didn't own any lavish belongings and his room in the castle was practically the size of a prison cell, if not a bit bigger. There was a bed, a dresser with a few pairs of clothes and not much more. It seemed like it was an early winter morning maybe around 2am, there was no heating and Eiji could feel the chill starting to settle into his bones.
He ran his fingers through Simon's coarse copper hair and was overtaken with curiosity to examine more of his new body. "Amy, give me your cheapest mirror", "Confirm or Deny, purchasing hand held mirror for 20 points" "Confirm". A mirror materialised from the air and dropped onto the bed. "Your remaining balance comes to 998,980"
The original Simon was always someone who didn't care too much about his appearance, in fact he did his best to hid away delicate and effeminate features with his coarse long hair, that Eiji blissfully hacked away at with a pair if scissors he found in his belongings to uncover the face hiding beneath.
Simon's features where a lot different from Eiji's features. Eiji's past features where sharp and handsome giving him an almost devilish, sexy appearance, Simon's features however where round and pretty giving him an innocent look. His long lashes framed his gentle green doe eyes and his lips where formed in almost constant pout.
"Good, very good" Eiji thought "This is definitely an appearance I can use to my advantage" he mouth turned upwards in a smirk unbefitting of the angelic like face it donned.

Simon worked as an assistant to one of the War Council Strategists, but he was basically a glorified personal servant. In between running errands around the castle and filling in paperwork there was hardly any time for him to even see Bijou much less interact with him.
That didn't stop him however, he spent his free time planning and plotting how to make the first move. He got friendly with some of the castle maids and learned that Bijou like to spend his early mornings training alone in the castle gardens but requested not to be disturbed by any of the staff. With this information he finally started to put his plan into motion.

Eiji stood outside the gardens irritated, "Who the hell gets up this early, it's FREEZING" his face was pulled into a scowl, buy remembering his mission he calmed his emotions. Bijou was probably aware of his presence already so there was no point in hiding or waiting any longer, he marched closer to the centre of the gardens.
A few steps in he was stopped by a voice "Who goes there", the irritation and command was clear in his tone. Eiji turned to the direction the voice was coming from and sucked in his breath "Holy Shi-" his thoughts where stopped by the imposing deep voice speaking again "How many times have I told the staff not to inturpet my morning training, get out before I personally throw you out!" Eiji who was distracted by Bijous killer physic snapped but into reality. "Um... I....I'm sorry Prince Bijou" "Well if your sorry then get out" "NO! I...I" Eiji made the panic clear in his eyes, he wasn't previously a renowned actor for nothing "PLEASE TEACH ME HOW TO USE MAGIC, PLEASE!"
Bijou circled around the now bowing Simon "Okay...."
