They were done with section Z, it was time to return to the castle. Cress looked at the necklace and smiled. The man walked away, no doubt having been thoroughly interrogated by the knights before being allowed to approach. Even then they were still tense, being their overprotective selves, or so Cress thought. She didn't know that there was something else, an orange level alert due to the threat over her head. Being a rebel and a royal, Cress was used to both of those things. Putting her life on the line, that was what she did. Cress sighed and closed her eyes, there was no more need to fight. They would finally have the peace they wanted. Hopefully the rest of Tartaria would be as receptive as Gehenna.
Heron grabbed the handles to Cress's wheelchair. "What were you talking about with Aya?" Cress asked, wondering if Heron had somehow threatened their new friend. "Noting much," Heron promised with a smile. "I was just asking her about something Kora said." Cress sighed in relief, glad that Heron hadn't done anything dodgy. "Aya! Come walk with us!" Cress called to her, figuring that Aya may be a bit too shy to get to know the other knights. Unlike in Ashia, many of the knights here were females. In Ashia, majority of them had been men. In Tartaria there was a nice mix, the citizens no doubt reaped benefits by joining the military. Back home they did too, their families receiving a status upgrade and a stipend.
They were heading back to the palace, the knights seeming happy with themselves. "I'm glad that they've been given a new purpose." They were still in Tartarian uniforms, but Cress knew that there would be a shipment of Ashian uniforms being sent throughout the eastern continent for any knights to switch over. Cress couldn't help but wonder if the knights would be allowed to keep their old uniforms too, her thoughts were stopped when someone yelled. "Take cover!" Heron shouted and grabbed Cress, shielding her with her body. "What's going on?" Cress yelled as a fight suddenly burst out. Angry citizens, holding stones and broken glass bottles, they were there, their fury evident in their expressions.
"Let me talk to them," Cress tried. "No!" Heron wouldn't let her. The red haired knight looked around and grabbed Aya, using her to help shield Cress and get all three of them inside. "We'll let the knights handle them," Cress pushed the two away, clearly upset. "I could have handled it! I could have talked them down!" Cress replied, upset for obvious reasons. "Don't be stupid! You can't just keep risking your life every time an old man wants to give you a gift or a kid wants to give you a rock! You're a Princess, you're valuable!" Cress stiffened. Nee had said that too, that Cress couldn't be selfish and had to think of everyone else. Cress was selfish though, she didn't want to live a life where she couldn't do what she wanted, where she couldn't go off on her own for whatever reason.

Shiro wasn't sure why Nee almost seemed like she was the one who didn't want to do this. "I'll do anything if it's for you, especially achieve heaven." Shiro smiled, hoping that Nee was convinced now. Shiro didn't mind because it was for the girl she loved most. She wiggled a bit self consciously, "I have lots of love marks from you, I like them." The pup admitted, able to see down her dress if she tilted her head down a little more. There was even one in the shape of a heart, right over her chest. "It's nice being able to do something so intimate with you." It made the burning in her special spot go away too, which was nice. Sometimes the burning there made it hard to think and all Shiro could focus on was what she would do with Nee later on.
Nee explained the thing that Shiro didn't understand, while that was a lot of things, this one was her good friend, Wren. Shiro didn't understand why she didn't have this 'drive' that Wren spoke of. Was the drive the same as the burning down there that made everything feel fuzzy until it was fulfilled? That was probably how Wren did such a good job at being a maid, she didn't have any fuzzy things to distract her! "So Wren doesn't have an oven?" Shiro didn't know how else to describe it. The pup thought that she was understanding it though. "So she doesn't feel the heat and have to make it go away." Shiro looked down at Ellis, who had chocolate on his face from Shiro trying to feed him some dessert. "I don't think Ellis has a drive either." Shiro shook her head. "He loves lots, but not like we do. I don't think Ellis needs to achieve heaven either."
"I'm sure they'll be happy. Corren's finally realized that Kora loves someone else. Now he's giving his best friend the attention he always wanted!" Even though the pup wasn't the smartest, she was sure good at making observations. No doubt because it was a lady in waiting's job to take subtle hints from the bodies of their masters. Shiro knew what most body language meant, although sometimes she forgot to look into it and ended up making a fool of herself or embarrassing the queen. Shiro was just unable to keep her mind on one topic for very long, she was a bit, no, very much scatter brained. It was one of her more endearing qualities though and no one seemed to mind or scold her for it.
Shiro came out wearing her new special clothes for Nee and the girl she loved most blushed and called her beautiful, which in turn, made Shiro blush. Shiro watched as Nee wiggled out of her dress and stepped out of it, taking her hand and leading her to the bed. "Let's achieve heaven together." Shiro smiled and followed Nee to the bed, allowing the girl she loved most to take the lead. Shiro remembered what Corren said and did her best to positive reinforce the areas that Nee pointed out.
