Third Person's POV
"I heard there was a trouble at Rviola. Good thing you are able to rescue them." Erin said who is sitting and infront of her is her coffee which she didn't touch yet.
"Yes." Scarlet answered. She look at Erin and she's having a second thought if she should tell her what happened.
She sigh deeply and spoke again.
"It was the kids that I sent there."
Erin didn't answered so Scarlet continued.
"It was Serena who killed all the beasts in one click that's why until now she isn't awake because her body gave a negative reaction because of the amount of magic she released."
A strong slap in the table was heard at the silent office of Scarlet. Erin stood up and is looking at her with an angry expression.
"Four days had passed when that happened Scarlet and you are telling me that just now?"
Anger is visible at Erin's eyes but Scarlet is calmly sitting. She knows her friend and she know that she is just worried for her daughter.
"I don't want that to distract you from your work. I'm sorry if I hadn't tell you but you don't need to worry. Serena is perfectly fine. It's Emerald who checked up on her."
Erin didn't gave out an answer but she calmed down when she heard what Scarlet had said. She seated again. There's still a worry inside her but she trusts Emerald big time.
Emerald was also with her for years. She was a healing fairy and she is Erin's company on running the Academy not until she resigned.
"I wanted to see her. Where is she right now?" Erin asks as she finally sip her now cold coffee.
"Her Highness.." Scarlet said but Erin didn't replied right away.
"I told you to drop the formalities Scarlet." Erin said as she is not looking at Scarlet confused.
"That's what the people of Rviola address Serena when they were there," she said and Erin was shocked at what she heard.
"Serena's your carbon copy Erin. If I didn't know you both, I would think you and her was just the same person. And that same goes to everyone who doesn't know Serena."
Erin doesn't know what to say. She nervously sips into her coffee again. It seems like she knows what her friend is telling her.
"Until when are you planning to hide to everyone and to your daughter your true identity? Did you know Serena is dying to see Her Highness face? Without knowing that she's been with you for so long and that she already saw you? Don't you also know that when she sees you as Her Highness, she misses her Mom? And that's no other than you?" Scarlet spoke and didn't bother to think twice to say all those that is in her mind because she felt sorry for Serena.
Erin's tears flowed freely in her face. She was always soft when it comes to her daughter. She wanted to take Serena away from trouble so she won't be hurt. She won't be associated with the fight against Rivendell. But she realize she's wrong. Her ways are wrong. But for her, parents always knows best. And that's the only solution she could think of.
"Serena deserves to know the truth Her Highness." Scarlet said. "She misses you so much. Don't be so selfish to your daughter."
And Scarlet stood up from where she is sitting. She know she's a bit harsh and she was still talking to Her Highness, the Queen of Cassopeia who happened to be her friend but she doesn't care less.
She needed to say that because if not, her friend might forever hide her true identity.
She is about to go out to her office when Erin spoke.
"I'll reveal everything. Let's just finish the annual parade first."
Aya's POV
"Serena is surely happy if she's here." Calla said.
I nodded. "Probably. Do you think she's really okay?"
"Yes. It's Emerald who checked up on her. I am just also confused." Jas answered who is at my right.
I sigh. It's been four days. But Serena didn't woke up yet ever since she passed out when we are still Rviola.
I don't know what really happened. I know nothing bad happened to her because she don't have any cuts or bruise that's why I am so confused why up until today, she didn't woke up yet.
The people of Rviola said the beast didn't even go near her. And the another thing that makes me so confused is, they were all calling Serena Her Highness. We just didn't had the chance to tell them they're wrong since we panicked when Serena passed out so we left Rviola right away.
"Her Highness really looks like a goddess." Calla said that made me come back to reality.
I look infront and yes. She really is. The annual parade for her is currently happening and it's making me sad that Serena isn't here. She badly wanted to see her.
"Serena has a resemblance to Her Highness. Maybe that's why the people of Rviola think she is her." Jas said.
"Uh-huh, that's what I noticed. Is it possible that we have someone who resembles us but they aren't blood related?" Calla asked.
That made me think. Well, I think so. There are many people around the world and maybe we really have someone who we resemble even if we don't know them.
"I think so?" Max answered. I didn't know he's at my back.
Jester is at his side but he is silent. He always stays at Serena's room. Among all of us, he's the one who is worried sick. He always look after Serena from dust until dawn especially if Miss Scarlet won't give us a mission.
We are actually worried too just like him but we are confident since Miss Scarlet and Emerald assured us that Serena is okay. We just have to wait for her to wake up. Jester just doesn't want to hear our advices so Miss Scarlet let him do what he wants.
And the annual parade was over and it's successful. Ofcourse, everyone was happy because we only got to see Her Highness during her annual parade. Though others say, she always goes out to check on everyone but we didn't seen her so.
"Let's go at Serena's room. Who knows she might have woken up now." Jas said and all of us nodded.
Honestly, Serena's room became our hung out place ever since. Miss Scarlet gave her a room already though we didn't transfer her things yet from Calla's room. Just incase she doesn't want to transfer room.
When we arrived, as usual Jester is in her bed side.
"Geez Jester maybe you wanted to rest atleast? Serena will surely scold you because of what you're doing." I told him.
"At this rate you'll be next person that we'll visit if you get sick. You better rest. We will inform you right away if Serena wakes up." Calla said as she walk near Jester.
I shook my head as I look at him. Dark circles were already visible under his eyes though he's still hot nonetheless. No wonder, Serena fallen hard at him. I laughed at my own thoughts that startled them.
"Don't mind me. I am just thinking about something." I said chuckling at them.
"You are so weird." Max commented and I just glare at him. Duh, like you care.
"Anyway, you really do need to rest Jester." I said as I sit at the vacant chair beside Serena.
Jester chuckled. "Don't worry guys. I'm fine." He fixed his hair. "I only look tired but I am okay."
I shook my head. He's really stubborn.
"Sleeping beauty, please wake up. Your prince charming is already looking like a zombie. Have mercy on him." Calla said.
The room was filled with laughter. Max is already dying of laughter. I really love Calla's sense of humor. I swear this girl.
Jester also laughed as he softly tapped Calla's head.
But we stopped laughing when someone knocked on the door. Max stood up to see who is that since he's close at the door.
"Who's that?" Jas asked when Max returned.
"Miss Scarlet is calling us." Max answered. And he immediately look at Jester. "Even you Jester. Don't make excuses again."
Jester laughed. Well, this past days, everytime we eat or Miss Scarlet calls us, Jester's answer is always 'You can go without me. I'll stay here so I'll look after Serena' that is why Max told him to come.
When we arrived at Miss Scarlet's office, she was sitting seriously at her desk. I immediately felt nervous. Is there a trouble again? Goodness. Because if Miss Scarlet called us in her office and she's in serious mode, that only means two things. First, we made a trouble and second, there's a trouble.
"Miss Scarlet, do we have a problem again?" Jas quickly asked as soon as we seated.
She smiled. "You can feel at ease. I am not saying we don't have a problem but I called you guys here to tell you something important."
I sigh in relief. I don't want us to be at war while Serena's didn't woke up yet.
"How about Serena Miss Scarlet? Is she really okay? Why didn't she woke up yet?" Jas asked continuesly.
I wanted to ask the same question too. I know we keep on repeating our questions but they can't blame us.
"Actually, that's why I called you here because this has something to do with Serena." Miss Scarlet spoke seriously.
Jester quickly look at her. "What do you mean?"
I swallowed the lump in my throat. What's happening? Miss Scarlet became silent that made everyone nervous.
"Please Miss Scarlet, don't let us wait. What do you mean?" Calla said who isn't comfortable in her sit.
Miss Scarlet breathes heavily and she look at us one by one. I held my breath as I wait for what she has to say.
"Serena is Her Highness's daughter."
