Noel woke up, staring at a familiar ceiling. She tried sitting up, but grabbed her head, getting dizzy. She opened her eyes again, looking down at the green dress she was wearing. What happened back at the restaurant bar came back to her. She then tried sitting up on the fancy, crimson couch she was laying on, then looked up.

Shin looked at Noel. "Would you mind explaining your choice of attire. Maybe you can also explain what happened to you, why you snuck out, why you used such a spell, and why you did not come to me in the first place while you're at it?"

"F-Father..." Noel said as her eyes widened. "I thought you would misunderstand the situation. If I came to anyone here dressed as myself, I would have been accused of being an impostor."

"Perhaps," shin replied. "However, that does not explain you sneaking out of the palace and using an ability of the Anstrum bloodline in public."

"But it does explain it." Noel said. "Disguised as a civilian, there would be no way one could have accused me of being an impostor. And while the spell was merely for self defense, I would have needed to eventually prove my status as more than a female commoner anyway."
Noel sat back in the couch, folding her arms. "...but it seems that you knew about this the entire time."

"Oh?" Shin replied. "Now what makes you say that? More importantly, why did you need to defend yourself?"

"I was being forced outside by General Tarax." Noel explained. "His intention to rape me was quite clear."

"And what of the young woman who was with you?" Shin replied. "General Lasorda informs me that you used the same spell on her. From the uniforms in the bag, she seems to have been a maid who helped you sneak out."

"There was no maid with me. If you want proof, go count our maids. They're all still here." Noel stated. "There was a girl I met, but I didn't use a spell on her. I'm not sure what happened to her afterward, she must've left when she saw all of the commotion."

"It is true that all the palace maids are accounted for. However, it is still possible she was a former maid you convinced to smuggle in a disguise," Shin replied. "The palace guards reported a maid with a similar discription went up to your room. Though she was just a servant this is still a serious matter."
