(Hello if you or a loved one haven't watched the Disney Movie, Enchanted, you may be at risk of missing the best movie ever. They're making a sequel-)

The next day, Shinya was spending time with Reiko. She was scared and felt alone so he was spending time with her. They were going horse riding and then Shinya would go to his duties as the 'temporary king'.

At the moment he was still trying to have fun with Reiko before working. Her horse was named Aragon. Aragon was a brown color with a yellow and black mane. They were just going to ride around the town. Just to get her mind off of things.

"Shinya, do you like being the heir?" Reiko asked. She wasn't being an asshole because she was scared of what might happen to her dad. Keigo and her still acted like they hated each other but they had new boundaries in their little games.

"I mean, it's quite stressful knowing I'm in charge of the entire country. But it's ok." Shinya reassured her. He didn't say anything more about being king.

Ryuko was sitting there, upset. She was still upset about what had happened the previous day. She didn't know if she was acting strange and that's why he didn't want to see her. He showed her around the palace a bit but they stayed in the garden for a very long time.

She quietly cleaned instead of her usual dancing and singing as she cleaned. Himiko didn't have the energy to harass her sometimes which was when she would go all out and have a whole concert. Right now she was just humming a bit.

When she went to pick up the mail, she saw a letter addressed to Chitose. She noticed the kingdom's crest and thought of opening it herself but it was to Chitose. So she'd just give it to her step mother.

She walked up to Chitose's piano room. She could hear the soft melody of the piano. Chitose was amazing at playing the elegant instrument. She knocked on the door softly before walking in.

The dark skinned woman noticed Ryuko's presence almost immediately. She stood up and whipped her head around almost immediately.

"Ryuko. Dear. You know the damn rules."

"I know! I know! But you have a letter!"

"Jesus christ, more letters?! Who's it from? Why's it addressed to me?"

"I-I dont know. It's from the palace."

"The palace? Why the hell would they talk to me again? Did you do something?" She asked, looking at her letter. The envelope had the kingdoms crest so Ryuko wasn't lying. Ryuko left the room quickly, her shoes making small pats against the floor as she left.

My Dearest Chitose,

As you know we haven't talked in quite a while. I apologize as my jealousy and rage got in the way of our "friendship". I attended the ball and saw the woman that everyone calls the mysterious princess. I have received a letter letting me know the identity of this princess. Ryuko Tatsuma, the daughter of your late "husband". I know you want Himiko on the throne and I have my own selfish reasons to not let Ryuko into the royal bloodline. I hope my letter will reach you before whatever the prince has planned to find the girl.

Sincerely, Rikiya Yotsubashi "

No. No. No.

Ryuko was at home. Chitose refused to believe what she had been suspecting was true. It couldn't be. How'd she get such a formal dress? A tiara? Shoes? She was wearing rags.

Chitose almost screamed but bit her tongue. She was disgusted by this new fact.

She reread it multiple times

My Dearest Chitose,

My Dearest Chitose,

My Dearest Chitose,

My Dearest Chitose,

Rikiya Yotsubashi.

It was a fact. Ryuko has disobeyed her. The question was how it happened. The girl didn't get paid! She was earning her stay in the house, she didn't need to be paid!

She reached for the white branch. It looked magical...

Magical...

N o.

Her step daughter wasn't a witch, she didn't have time or books to even learn that. The wand came from Nejire. Nejire-

No.

Definitely not.

Chitose picked out a piece of paper and a quill and ink. She closed her piano keys and sat on her bench to begin writing.

"Dear Rikiya,

I am aware of our lack of communication in the recent years. I am not sorry for marrying for money but I am sorry for the trouble my step daughter has caused in our kingdom. I do want Himiko on the throne and your reasons of not wanting her in the throne are valid... I have an idea but it's very complex. As you know my step daughter was the " bell of the ball", but there was a young lady who may have helped. I'm not ashamed to admit I stole from her, but here's the thing. She was dead. I stole a white branch. Anyways, you know me, I investigated the branch and found something. Glitter. It isn't very solid evidence but the 'mysterious princess' had glitter on her as well. I believe witchcraft was involved in this.

Sincerely, Chitose Tatsuma"

(I can't write letter lmaoooo-)

She put it in an envelope and decided to put it in her pocket until she decided to deliver it.

(Hello! Hello! I didn't get this out yesterday because :/ ya know- but I got this out and now things are getting heated. Chitose has the wand and knows. I'm sorry that the letter sucks lmao ;-;.)
