Nectar didn't expect her meeting with Minister Sirod to go so smoothly, especially since she'd given his daughter a haircut " We're really done here "? Sirod had the same orange hair as his daughter, just as unruly as it spiked in different directions and he smiled " You seem surprised your majesty ".
Nectar laughed nervously as she scratched her cheek " Don't get me wrong Minister, it just surprises me ". Sirod nodded " If I could be so bold as to speak my mind my empress ".
Nectar encouragingly nodded " Of course, you've helped me a great deal so please go ahead ".Sirod seemed surprised at her answer and chuckled " You're nothing like the Empress Dowager Kira....but in a good way "
Nectar smiled silently and he went on " At first when my daughter sent me a message saying you'd humiliated her and even cut off some of her hair, I was furious. Then I found out the little brat lied to me ".
Nectar felt her smile become sincere as she relaxed, allowing him to go on " Commander Sopins would not take it lightly if Lily had anything to do with the destruction of that hairpin ". He suddenly got up and bowed, one hand on his heart and the other behind his back " I'd like to personally thank you for sparing her life and for keeping the matter private ".
Nectar was surprised, insisting he stop [ Commander Sopins sounds like a tyrant ] " Is he really that scary Minister "? Sirod smiled faintly " He's usual a jovial old fellow, that's why one must avoid angering him ".
Nectar nodded thoughtfully and she left, Eros wasn't out yet so she could quickly leave before he asked for her head [ If the Sopins were so strong, how could they have died so tragically and pitifully? ]
Just then, she bumped into Nosa and his brothers [ Speaking of the devil ] After exchanging brief pleasantries, Nectar quickly left when she heard the sound of the door opening.

By the time Nosa got to the palace, his brothers had already being informed. Eros had requested for their presence, for what? they had no idea.
" I'm telling you, it was that empress's butler that did that ". William shook his head " I think you've had too much excitement lil brother. We're coming from her palace, there were no elemental fluctuations coming of him ".
Nosa growled slightly " Arron, you believe me right "? Arron rubbed his chin " I'd like to but it wasn't too long ago that this happened, no one would be able to suppress themselves so quickly ".
Nosa felt his mouth twitch as he walked into the main hall " I wonder if you'd say the same thing if you saw the man, I'm surprised he isn't dead ". William laughed, ruffling his brother's hair " Alright, we'll talk about this later ".
Then they bumped into Nectar. Nosa felt himself freeze when she smiled at them but she quickly left after that.
William tilted his head as he watched her leave quickly " Why does she seem like she's running for her life "? Arron added " Why was her dress cut? Did something happen in the market "? Nosa smiled smugly as he walked forward " I could tell you but you wouldn't even believe me ".

Jiro frowned as he touched his ring [ She did it again ] Jiro was both impressed and worried. In the short amount of time he'd seen her, she'd managed to change another story.
This time, the life of a criminal called Deadly Lullaby. He wouldn't have gotten far but would have caused a lot of havoc in the empire before getting himself killed at the borders.
Jiro sighed as he looked up at the imperial palace that stood proudly at the edge of the capital comprising half of the city [ I have to stop her or she'll eventually change the fate of the entire Continent ]
So he decided to go to the palace and ask for the accursed emperor's help in finding this woman as quickly as possible...he only hoped that Eros wouldn't want to know why.
