The kids had already been told by Liam to get ready and so they did. With only three hours to noon, they were only a little bit groggy.
Fauna and Tera were putting the last touches to their clothes in the common room when Nectar walked in, " Good morning my darlings ". They all responded with the same eagerness as they hugged her.
Nichole who was dressed in a pink puffy gown that was barely touching the floor revealing the black fur boots she was wearing. She also had on black elbow gloves and her hair rolling around her shoulders " Morning Sister Qidu, you're banquet last night was interesting ".
Nectar laughed and took a comical bow, " Thank you, thank you very much ". Jewlica held on to Nectar's leg, " She was dressed in a long sleeved blue dress long enough to restrict her movement but not in an obvious way.
Her pink hair was in pigtails as usual and she had on black earmuffs and boots to match, " Did you bring anything for Ica from last night ". Nectar only laughed, picking her up, " We're going out right now so don't worry ".
They all cheered, asking a million questions and Nectar managed to keep them quiet, " Glad to see your onboard. Reli and Liam are downstairs ". They didn't wait for her to finish as they ran out.
Nectar looked back at Fauna and Tera that had been abandoned in the room and laughed, " Would you ladies like to join us "? Fauna eyes lit up instantly, " Really your majesty "?
Nectar nodded, " Of course, we're gonna be gone all day. You might get bored so I'll bring you with me instead ". Fauna could barely hold her excitement as she bowed, " We'll go get changed and be out in a minute ".
They both thanked Nectar again and Fauna held Tara by the wrist as she dashed to their room. Nectar only laughed, " Who says money can't buy me a better mood ".

" Father let's go out today ", Archie said as he pulled on Archie's trousers. He pouted slightly, " Pretty pretty please ". Axis sighed, " Did your mother put you up to this "? Archie frowned and began punching his Axis' leg, " What's that supposed to mean "?
Axis sighed [ I guess she didn't put you up to it ] Archie was usually calm and only reacted violently when his Bonsi was spoken about in a way he didn't like. Archie breathed heavily as he stomped off, " Don't bother, I'll just go with Uncle Konnie ".
Axis laughed as he scooped Archie up, " No way, you're coming with me ". Archie puffed his cheeks and crossed his arms, " Nuh uh ". Axis rubbed his hair, " You sure, alright. Can I come, pretty please ".
Archie laughed, patting Axis' hand " Since you ask so nicely, we'll bring you along ". Axis laughed, " How nice of you, let's go get your mother ".

" Aren't you going to ask how I am "? Kancor only glanced at her, looking her up and down, " You can speak so you must be fine ". Caitlin clenched her fists, " Don't think this means anything ".
Kancor frowned, " I'd appreciate it if you kept shut ". Caitlin frowned and Kancor closed his eyes. [ How did Nectar get here? How did I get here? ] But now he was almost certain she was Nectar Reba but here she was called Nectar Socta [ How do I confirm that hypothesis? ]
" Don't ignore me Kancor ", as she said those words her mouth turned into a rose, sealed shut " Don't talk so much ". He made another rose in his hands, " People like you are like this flower. Should be seen but not heard "
Caitlin wasn't sure why but she was afraid of him. The man that was once at her beck and call, always patient with her was actually using his powers on her and that killing intent. Kancor was a soft gentle soul, he could never bear to kill anyone, back in Sepafi so where he could get such a large amount of killing intent was a mystery to her.
Kancor suddenly crushed the flower, " We can get along very well princess, as long as you stay in your lane ". Caitlin nodded [ He isn't joking ] and Kancor gave her back her mouth, " You're not as dumb as I thought ".
Caitlin was right, Kancor was a softie but Conrad on the other hand was far from it. He'd come from a long line of building contractors and you'd have enemies when you refuse to bend to their will or do business.
He'd always tried to help Nectar get rid of her enemies but they always wound up dead before he got to them but after what he'd seen her do this morning, he realized he'd underestimated her.
Not too long after, Archie and Axis came in " Are you still coming with us Uncle Konnie "? Kancor nodded and got up, " Of course ". Archie nodded and turned to Caitlin who was sitting in a daze, " Would you like to join us Aunt Katy "?
Caitlin wasn't paying attention but Kancor smiled and rubbed her shoulders, " Of course she would. She could use the fresh air, wouldn't you "? Caitlin only nodded in agreement and let Kancor help her out of bed [ What have I done? ]
