The trio silently walked towards the Restricted Section with Skye leading the way, the girls walked side by side while Anberine gave Merlia occasional glances from time to time despite trying to keep it subtle.However after the fourth glance Anberine almost jumped and stopped as she took notice of her left hand being grabbed. Looking at Merlia, she noticed a calm smile forming on her face.At times Merlia truly did feel blessed to have a friend like her, unfortunately it did leave her worried when Anberine often could be seen having her heart on her sleeve. Even though the timid girl did try to keep it from being noticed."Anbery, I'll be fine don't worry about me" Merlia said in a serene tone as she tilted her head to the side causing her curls to rest on her right shoulder, biting her lip Anberine looked back at her."Are you sure, Merlia? We can just abandon the plan. I'm not putting you through anymore pain just because of what the prince claims to see" Anberine said sternly only

With one hand Merlia gestured quickly for Anberine to take a look, confusing the girl as she peered at the book while standing beside her friend.“My time is nigh and I fear for our kingdom. I was a fool, a true fool to have allowed him into our kingdom. If I had known then I wouldn’t have had to lose so much.We have no more options left and my wife is due. Our child must not die or the kingdom will fall. For this, they will need to…” to their dismay the next page had been torn, signaling that someone had ripped away whatever had been written.“This writing looks like it’s only hundreds old compared to King Arthur’s writing” Anberine commented with curious eyes as she examined the page carefully, checking to see if there were any clues that she was missing.Skye as he stared at the page frowned as questions formed in his mind as to who would have done such a thing.“This must be talking about the skirmish that took place two generations ago” Anberine and Merlia stared at Skye in surpr

"However... despite all this" Merlia paused to smile faintly at the letter, mindful to avoid letting any tears touch the letter as best she could. "I'm sure... no, I know he will be happy" Merlia soon wiped a stray tear from her tear-soaked face, seeing this Anberine hugged her friend dearly while they enjoyed the silence briefly. Knowing that they would have to head back and report on what they now knew. Despite a few sniffles entering their ears, they relaxed knowing that this place felt safe.

“She’s not all that bad” Skye muttered as he finished making the Scar Removal Potion without any errors this time around to his relief, as anxious as he was about making it. It did surprise him on how much of a difference things were now for him, compared to before he wouldn't be about to fathom on how to make even the most easiest potions and now he had the confidence to do it in his sleep... if he wanted to.  Not that Skye would try since he feared that he would burn his dorm room down. Something his father would definitely thank him for.

“Are you okay my prince?” one of the guards sounding young asked while looking at the angry prince, startled by the rage filling the young prince’s eyes. Especially since it was rare to see him acting out.  “Put this noble in the dungeons for the night, she assaulted this girl here” Skye ordered, startling the group even more.
