Then a curse will fall upon Varya, so there will be no problems.

If you curse a walking curse, its power will only increase.

- Summon Her Highness here.

Upon Levizia's return and after she recounts what happened:
- If he wants to take his daughter from the walls of our cozy academy, I can't blame him, and I won't stop him... I would do the same in his place... - another heavy sigh, her fingers massage her temples. - But it's better to do it according to the regulations, officially and with paperwork, without another scandal... I think this girl was friends with Nirianna. Levizia Kaladiumovna, could you, along with Nira, if she agrees, Vallotta Siege, and, let's say, Comrade Chaber for backup, visit this institution and talk to her father? If this is a parental decision, then we, of course, have no choice but to accept it, but based on how it was told, we at least need to make sure that there are no violations there, - Futaba paused, then covered her face with her hand and shook her head. - I apologize... I just realized that it's not for me to give you such advice. You probably have normal and more productive ideas for everything that I am here solemnly presenting, trying to justify someone's expectations.
Another sigh.
- Then I just ask you not to get into a dangerous situation.

"Alright, I will try to do everything in my power to resolve this situation in the best possible way," she said, not so much to Futaba as to herself, "just don't go anywhere until I return, alright? I wanted... to talk."
Levizia leaves, instructing the swift-footed and attentive Timyan to find (and explain the situation to) Nirianna, while she and Vallota head toward the company building so as not to accidentally miss a moment of escalation.

"And one last thing, Your Majesty," the soldier reminded her once they were alone, "it was discovered that a student named Elliot Kent sneaked into the women's dormitory wing, specifically room 201, where he engaged in inappropriate contact with the personal belongings of its residents. What are your orders?"

/Just for reference: if you let one student go, the entire Academy will disband the next day. It seems like a happy ending, but something tells me it's not that simple./

tasks the swift and observant Timian to find (and recount the situation to) Nirián.

Nira was in her room, so it didn't take long to find her.
—Cass, what...? 😕 —Nira listened to the brief account of what happened with a slight suspicion, but after a moment's hesitation, she nodded convincingly: —Alright, then let's not waste any time.

- What is your name and rank, soldier? Now that you are ensuring "no"-safety here instead of Mandragora, are you waiting for orders? Or is someone else responsible for this? Either way, give him a stern verbal warning and let him know that if this happens again, next time you and your entire squad will engage in inappropriate contact with his belongings. And the cost of these belongings will be reimbursed from his August stipend.

I wanted... to talk.

Goodbye, everyone.

At the entrance to the territory of Cassius Pale's company office, a group consisting of Levizia, Nirianna, Thyme, and Vallotta was briefly detained by men in black suits and sunglasses, but upon learning that the uninvited guests included the king's granddaughter and the strongest warrior of Sakuramoria, they were eventually allowed inside, despite their initial reluctance. "Ah... Director, or rather, Your Highness, how may I be of service to you?" The entrepreneur seemed to have been warned about the unexpected visit, but he was still nervous. Cassia was not nearby. "Oh, Nirianna, good day! How are you?" "Mr. Cassius," Levizia's face was adorned with a friendly smile, but her cold voice betrayed her true emotions, "could we speak with your daughter?" "With Cassia? What, has she done something wrong? Hmm," the man thoughtfully scratched the back of his head, "shouldn't she be in the dormitory or somewhere else on the academy grounds right now?" "That's strange. My students told me that they recently saw you two in the cafeteria in a somewhat tense situation. Isn't that right, Nira?"

- What is your name and rank, soldier? You are now providing "non"-security here instead of Mandragora, so are you waiting for orders? Or is someone else responsible for this? Either way, give him a stern verbal reprimand and warn him that if this happens again, next time you and your entire squad will engage in inappropriate contact with his belongings. And the cost of these items will be reimbursed from his August salary.
Goodbye, everyone.

"Neves Sipe," the soldier introduced himself and bowed his head, "sergeant of the fifth regiment of the 39th infantry brigade 'Vasilyok,' it is a great honor for me to be in your radiant presence. The commander of our brigade is Ianira Vasilyok. It was she who sent me to you to convey this information.

/Okay, I understand. Where are the other six?/

- Sergeant. Send a detachment of your men with Levisia Starlight when she sets out, to keep an eye on her. In case of any problems, they need to react and protect her. If everything goes smoothly, there's no need to bother the esteemed person and offend her with unnecessary suspicions. This is a very important task. Sakurinomori is counting on you.

— It shall be done!
The soldier leaves, leaving Futaba alone.

— That's strange. My students told me that they saw both of you in the cafeteria not so long ago, in what seemed like a rather tense situation. Isn't that right, Nira?

Such an unexpected question caught the girl, who wasn't expecting to be involved in any disputes, slightly off guard.
—Oh, what?... "Not long ago"?... Well, as far as I know, it was a couple of months ago... And, um, well... —after a short pause, the girl gathered her thoughts and spoke more confidently: —I did happen to witness the end of the previous "rather tense situation" in the cafeteria, and as far as I could tell, that situation was resolved peacefully. For this reason, I didn't see any reason to escalate the matter further. As for anything more recent, that's a question for my esteemed mentors. —casting a questioning glance at the teachers, Nira turned to Father Cassius: —Mr. Cassius, I don't quite understand, but if Cass is here, please allow me to talk to my friend. 😢

“I’m telling you, why do you keep asking about her being here?! First one, now another…” “Mr. Cassius, please be aware that your establishment is under 24-hour surveillance,” Levizia lied, unaware of Futaba’s latest orders. “So, if we find out you’re not telling the truth…” “Surveillance?!”—The man’s face first filled with discomfort, then changed to a mixture of irritation and anger. “I am a law-abiding citizen, an honest entrepreneur, and a responsible taxpayer whose money fills the coffers of this country! What gives you the right to subject me and my people to surveillance? Have you never heard of the presumption of innocence?!” “Mr. Cassius… In our country, the king’s will is the law, and at this moment, I am representing it, so if you don’t want any more trouble, please tell the truth and call Cassia here.” The entrepreneur looked as if he was about to jump out of his skin to pounce on the scoundrels, but the presence of the warrior in the room stopped him. Clicking his tongue irritably several times, he told one of his men to bring his daughter. When she appeared, Cassia sat on a chair next to her father and lowered her head, staring at her knees and trying not to make eye contact with those present. “Mr. Cassius.” “What now?” “Could you leave us alone for a moment?” “Why would I do that?” “Mr. Cassius, please!” “Alright, alright! I get it, damn it…” Cassius retreats to another room. “Cassia…?” Seeing that the girl showed no desire to communicate, Levizia turned her gaze to Nira, thereby telling her to take the initiative.

It was the first time since the ill-fated ceremony that Nira had managed to speak with Cassia, and the latter still looked unwell.
—...Cass, hello. —Nira said softly, taking the empty seat next to her friend. After a moment of silence, she turned to the headmistress: —Miss Starlight, I understand that this whole situation has a formal basis and all that, but... couldn't you handle these legitimate inquiries with Mr. Cassius later? And for now, could you give me and my friend a few minutes alone, without all these arguing adults?.. 🙏

Levizia and the others leave in silence. “Nir…” Cassia raises her head, and Nir sees a large bruise on her left cheek. “Imagine, I slipped on the way here, haha…”
