"Loosen supervision but don't be careless," Ivory said to Olaf.
"You met Nesa in the vampire world?" asked Tuscany.
"No, Lagoon and I have circled the palace but Nesa isn't there,"
"There's no way Nesa wasn't there," said Ebony.
"No one will kidnap him except them,"
"That's true, I feel that way too, but we didn't find any evidence that it was a vampire who kidnapped Nesa,"
"Can we talk about it later?" said Vermilion.
Lagoon's face changed. "How can you say that?"
"We have to find evidence of the culprit now, you want the citizens to be angry again?"
"Vermilion was right, we now have to find evidence," said Tuscany in support of Vermilion.
"But we can't forget Nesa, the wand she has is now in the vampire's hands," said Lagoon worriedly.
"Then you shouldn't have gone home empty-handed," said Vermilion irritably.
"Enough, we will focus on finding evidence now. I doubt they will hurt Nesa," Ivory interceded.
"What do you mean?" asked Tuscany.
"They will definitely take advantage of Nesa, for whatever it is. What is clear for now is Nesa will survive,"
"I'm going to find Nesa," said Shamrock.
The other higher-ups were surprised to hear Shamrock volunteering.
"You want to hurt him again?" asked Ebony suspiciously.
"No, trust me," Shamrock gave Ebony an annoyed look.
"I'm a magician and I don't want our wand to fall into the hands of the enemy,"
"Still I don't believe you," said Lagoon.
Shamrock rolled his eyes in annoyance, he looked at Ivory for an answer. Ivory's permission was enough for him to go to the vampire world.
"Okay, find Nesa," said Gading.
"We can not.."
"We have to trust each other, we have to solve the problem as soon as possible," said Ivory, cutting Ebony's words.
"Thank you, I won't hurt Nesa," said Shamrock looking at Ivory. Ivory patted Shamrock on the shoulder in return.
"I'll get ready and leave as soon as I can."
Shamrock went straight to his room to get ready to leave but before that, he had to hide Lokey, he didn't want any trouble while in the vampire world.
"Do you guys have any ideas on how to find the culprit?" Tuscany asked the higher-ups.
"Irene, she saw the culprit that day," Vermilion said.
"Has no one seen the culprit other than Irene? We need a lot of witnesses to quickly find the culprits," Lagoon said.
"Look for Irene, I told her to prove if what she said was true. I hope he can help us now," said Ebony.
The higher-ups agreed, they told the guards to call Irene. On the other hand Shamrock is thinking about where Lokey should stay while he is away, he doesn't want Lokey to stay in his room because someone might enter his room.
"Lokey," called Shamrock. Lokey rushed to Shamrock.
"I'm going to the vampire world,"
"For what sir?"
"I'm going to find the yellow-haired woman,"
"Not to find Nesa?" said Lokey confused.
Shamrock chuckled and looked at Lokey. "Why would I look for a traitor?"
"I'll make them think the culprit was from the topaz order," said Shamrock
"How to?" said Loki.
"A traitor will not sacrifice himself,"
Lokey chuckled at his master's answer, he didn't expect his master to be so cunning.
"Ah, do you have a hiding place other than here? I was afraid there would be trouble if you were here in my absence," said Shamrock.
"Igsal," said Lokey after a moment's thought.
Shamrock's brow furrowed, he didn't understand what Lokey meant.
"I'm going to Igsal's house, he's my friend in the ruby order. I'm sure he will believe me."
"It's up to you, the important thing is you have to hide well,"
"And so," Shamrock glared at Lokey.
"If your friend does anything suspicious, just kill him."
Lokey was silent, he swallowed his saliva but he finally nodded. He did not dare to go against his master.
Shamrock immediately prepares to go to the vampire world, he must pretend so that his plan is not discovered. Shamrock mumbled something, slowly the wind gathered and approached him, he whispered something to the wind. The wind immediately shot away conveying a message to the intended person.

"Igsal,"
Lokey banged on Igsal's door, he looked left and right, he was afraid that someone might suspect him.
"Igsal, are you inside?"
Lokey banged on Igsal's door again. Before long the door opened slightly, an eye appeared and blinked a few times but quickly his eyes went back inside. Igsal couldn't wait, he banged on Igsal's door again until the residents looked at him cynically.
"It's me Lokey, you want me to be beaten by your neighbors for being noisy?" said Lokey annoyed.
Soon a man with disheveled red hair came out. His eyes narrowed trying to recognize the hooded man in front of him.
"Are you Lokey?" Igsal asked confused.
Lokey immediately barged in, he closed the door hastily. He immediately took off his hood.
"You are not Lokey," said Igsal, he was confused by Lokey's changing appearance. His hair and eyes turned black.
"That's right me, watch carefully," Lokey widened Igsal's eyes.
"Why did your hair and eyes change? Were you really the culprit of the fire?" asked Igsal, he moved away from Lokey.
Lokey sighed, he headed for the chair in the middle of the room.
"Don't sit down until you answer my question," said Igsal as he stretched out his hand to block Lokey who wanted to sit down.
"Come on Igsal, how long have we been friends and you don't believe me?" Lokey looked at Igsal in disappointment.
"I also don't know why my hair and eyes changed but look my wand is still white," Lokey raised his wand.
"It's still white," said Igsal, lowering his hand.
"But how can you not know what happened to you?"
Igsal asked Lokey again, he brought his face closer to Lokey.
"Stay away from me, you're disgusting," Lokey muttered, he brushed Igsal's face away.
"I was hunting in Ashoka forest then someone attacked me and then I was unconscious. I woke up in an empty room with this condition, as soon as it came out there were rumors that I was the culprit of the fire,"
"I tried to go back to my hut but mine was empty, nor could I stay there. I finally came here."
Igsal's face looked doubtful after hearing Lokey's story.
"I'm serious Igsal," Lokey ruffled his hair because Igsal couldn't believe it.
"You know I can't possibly do something like that especially since I'm from the diamond order," continued Lokey trying to convince Igsal.
"But Ivory said the rumors were true," said Igsal, looking wary of Lokey.
"They have no proof of Igsal!"
Lokey shouts because he is very angry, his patience is running low, should he kill his friend as Shamrock suggested.
"Okay, you can stay here," Igsal's voice became low.
"But only until they find evidence. If you really are the culprit, I will kick you out," Igsal glared at Lokey sharply.
"Before I kick you out first," Lokey said to himself.
"Thank you, you are indeed my friend," Lokey held Igsal's hand with a touched face.
Igsal just sneered at his friend's behavior, he did this because he believed in Lokey. He believes someone framed Lokey.

knock knock
Irene and Selly looked at each other when they heard a knock.
"Let me open it"
Irene opened the door, many guards outside, do they want to catch Hevan? Or Jivi?
"You're Irene right?" one of the guards asked.
"Right, what are you guys looking for?"
"You were summoned by Ebony to the main hall,"
"Again?" said Irene surprised. He sighed, what would Ebony say this time.
"What is it?" Selly said to Irene.
"Ebony summoned me to the palace,"
"What for?"
Irene looked at the guards but they just kept quiet. "I don't know, but I hope it's not something bad."
"Can you handle them alone?"
Irene looked at Hevan and Jivi's room who had not woken up.
"Sure, if there's something I'll tell you. Be careful."
Irene nodded. He went with the guards. The residents started whispering because they saw Irene being escorted by the guards.
"Is there a problem at home? Why are people whispering?" one of the guards asked.
"They're whispering because you guys are escorting me like criminals," Irene said flatly.
The guard fell silent hearing Irene's answer. Along the way many eyes were staring at him, he sighed, he was sure that after this strange news would circulate.
"Excuse me, I've brought Irene," one of the guards knocked on the door.
"Come in,"
The guard told Irene to come in. Irene slowly entered, inside there were already high-ranking officers gathered. He was a little surprised let alone their serious facial expressions.
"We meet again Irene," Ebony approached me.
"Have you got proof that the culprit is from the diamond order?"
Irene didn't answer right away, she looked at the higher-ups.
"We need your help, you saw the culprit, didn't you?" Ivory said.
Irene nodded. "Has anyone seen that besides you?"
"Selly, she also saw a suspicious man in a white robe,"
"Why didn't you say so from the start?" said Ebony annoyed.
"I also just found out when I wanted to do an investigation,"
"Then you got something while you were investigating?" asked Lagoon enthusiastically.
"I have something else but it's not about the mastermind behind the academy fire,"
"What do you mean?" Ebony was getting impatient.
"Could you call Selly, Rex, and Cloe over here?"
Ebony growled, he felt Irene stalling for time.
"I'll explain when they're here," said Irene.
"Look for them, now,"
Ivory looked at Irene sharply, he felt Irene was hiding something. Irene looked tense, but it was only natural that since she was in front of the higher-ups she must have felt insecure.
Irene looked at the higher-ups, their faces all looking worried as if there was a very big problem. Ivory and Lagoon's appearance was also strange, their hair was disheveled with tired looking faces.
"You have friends now?" asked Lagoon.
"I'm just asking for their help," said Irene.
"That's not your style at all," Lagoon chuckled at Irene's answer.
Irene sneered, how weird is she that people don't believe she has friends.
"Why do you look shabby?"
Lagoon gasped, he pointed to himself. "Am I shabby?"
"Look at yourself in the mirror"
Lagoon turned around, he made a disgusted expression looking at himself in the mirror.
"I'm just tired of dealing with rumors,"
Lagoon immediately tidied up his appearance, he just realized he hadn't rested at all since coming from the vampire world.
Shortly after a knock sounded, Selly, Rex and Cloe entered the room. Cloe was surprised to see Irene who had entered first. While Rex glared at his mother, he still remembered what his mother said last time.
"How's Jivi?" Irene whispered when Selly reached her side.
"Aunt Dayva looks after him. He was delirious when you left."
"What did he say?"
"They're coming as you wish, so tell me quickly," said Ebony impatiently.
Irene and Selly's conversation stopped. Rex and Cloe looked at Irene confused, they didn't understand what Irene was going to say until they had to be here.
