At long last, they were back at Amiens. Calciferous held Alice on the way back while Ophelia flew, with a tiny Sonata in her pocket. Calciferous was supported by both Ophelia and Laertes, since he couldn't fly either. Tired and worn out, the party made it back to Amiens, though quite a lot of time had passed. A girl with a lamb mask was also here, sitting by the fireplace. Winter would be starting soon, the weather was already starting to get more brisk. Echo was glad they were here, but Ophelia was concerned about Yue Eldriss calmly sitting in the parlor. "We're back, but Pierce, why is she here?" Yue was allied with Baron King Messiah. "Baron King Messiah requested that she stay here to deliver a message to the Baronlings under my wing." Baron Pierce admitted. Despite his calm face he was not happy at being so easily bossed around by the Baron King.
"Oh yeah? Well give us your message and then leave." Sonata muttered, growing back to her normal full height, hands on her hips. "After hurting not only Alice but Ophie too, I really want something to punch!" Not only that, but being treated awfully in Japan was stressful for her as well. The lamb-masked Oracle looked towards them and nodded. "Baron King Messiah is willing to let your transgressions slide, provided all three of you pass the test to become Barons." Yue Eldriss said in a low monotone. "Otherwise, Baron Pierce will be taken into custody for having connections with angels and for plotting against Baron King Messiah, and you'll all be considered fugitives and wanted for trial in Paris."
So all they had to do to clear their name was to play along and finished the Baron Exams? "Why is he letting us off that easily?" Calciferous asked, a little confused. "The public would be unhappy if the Baron Race was canceled. Ophie, Sonata, and Polaire are the favorites to win, and they have many fans. The demon realm would become chaotic if the show didn't end properly." In order to keep everything under control and stop needless riots, Messiah was entertaining the masses with shows such as this. She stood up to her short height - smaller than Ophie even - and began walking towards the exit. "Don't try to get out of this. I'll find you wherever you try to hide." Trying to escape an Oracle's sight? Not only that, but Ayna as well - it would be foolish to refuse this chance to spare Pierce's name.
"Well, obviously, we'll do it. We'll become Barons, all three of us." Sonata said with an affirmative nod, before looking strangely at Ophie. "Even her? Messiah's willing to let her be a Baron?" Yue didn't seen interested in talking anymore, though, as she apparated away before answering. "Well, if that's how it is, I'm gonna go after Ayna." Cal's eyes were burning. "She betrayed us once before, remember, Echo? I'm gonna make her pay for doing it again." Laertes decided then to raise a hand somewhat awkwardly. "So, is there a room where I can stay?" He asked, since he wasn't welcome in Paris anymore, he didn't have a place to sleep now.
