The windows and the lights of the living room automatically opened as a large screen turned blank. In front of it is a young  girl  who had lifted her head from bowing politely. Ardon, the butler of the household, stood at the corner of the room patiently waiting for the mistress's orders.

Cyzarine had a rare conversation with the current head of the Scharfsinnhardt family. Or rather, her first conversation with her aunt for the last three years. And receiving a call was quite surprising. The "solely for her" part was what really surprised her.

It was a coincidence that she passed by the living room when the telephone/telescreen rang. Upon learning that her aunt is the caller, she immediately offered to call her siblings to the room in which the aunt said "there's no need for their presence, your attendance is enough for me".

The girl knew why her aunt called. The recent kidnappings of children everywhere was enough to put the family on edge. They recently increased the security of their orphanages in every kingdom to ensure the children's safety. However, two orphans were kidnapped beforehand. Both belong to the same orphanage that is under the Bluthardt family. To be more specific, three of the Bluthadt children are in-charge of the said orphanage. Though she's suppose to be in-charge too, Cyzarine never consider herself to be as responsible and dedicated as her siblings when it comes to the orphanage and thus she silently excluded herself.

That's why she was surprised to learn that her aunt wanted to talk to her instead of her siblings concerning the missing children.

After an exchange of pleasantries, Veton (aunt) immediately proceeded to the pressing matter. They talked and discussed about it for exactly two minutes before her aunt deviated from the topic by asking how she and her siblings are doing. Cyzarine had to consciously stop herself from raising an eyebrow before playing along with the sudden change of atmosphere until-

"Cyzarine, bring back the children." Her aunt commanded. Veton wasn't referring to all kidnapped children. Their only concern are the two children. Right after they're rescued the family will immediately clear the path and let those who are responsible for rescuing the the other children do the job. They'll be involved in this mess only because of the two children. Further involvement is plain unnecessary.

"I refuse." the niece replied with a straight face and continued. "My abilities are not suitable for a search and rescue mission. I believe Casper and Silia should be the ones to take up this task. In addition, they have their own information network to rely on. Unless you want to get things done quickly then you might opt to lift up the restrictions on the Engelnacht which will need the approval of BOB."

Veton didn't reply immediately and instead lifted a white cup to her mouth.

"Are you disobeying my direct order?"

"I'm merely pointing out your flawed decision." Cyzarine said as her aunt "smiled" at her, masking any hint of emotion. A few seconds later of silence, the niece sighed.

"I see. I'm sorry I didn't realize it sooner, auntie."

This time, Veton showed a sincere smile. An unspoken understanding between them will remain that way.

"Just remember to think before you speak, Rina."

In the end, Cyzarine complied to her aunt's order which marked the end of their conversation.

Now back to the present-

"Mr. Ardon." She called the butler's attention.

"Yes, milady?"

"Please tell them (her siblings) I won't be here for tonight. I have an urgent matter to attend to." Without waiting for his reply, Cyzarine has already left the room.

She went straight to the garage for her motorcycle with a black briefcase on her left hand. Heading back to Beacon will be quite a long ride. And remodelling Adlig Teufel will take more time than just a ride.
