Honey : The Empire's Treasure 442 Rumors, Schemes, and Brawls

With the Rychell's attention away on other more important matters, such as the virus in his bases. The trio put their all into making trouble.

The King's people were slowly turning on each other as small conflicts in families and between clans kept popping up.

It got to the point, where former cliques and friends that used to hang out togehter at school, would now make it a point to stay out of each others way.

One person who felt the hard brunt of the trio's schemes, was newly pointed Princess, Lensa.

One night, her mother, father and herself were all caught bad mouthing their friends and business partners at a local eatery. However, unbeknownst to them, the very group of people they laughed and bad mouthed about just happen to be dining in the next room.

Things quickly escalated when General Narbeth revealed how he had conned his business partners out of their share of the profits last year in elaborate details.

When the two lords and their families in the next room overheard story, all hells broke loose.

Lord Narbeth may have been a General, but he was nothing compare to the two Lords' wives clawed hands.

Princess Lensa couldn't even help her mother and father out as she was under attack by her so-called friends.

By the time the imperial city's enforcers were able to break up the commotion, several people were injured, the thirty percent of the eatery was damage and ties that took years to build were broken.

Although all this happen, no one had thought questioned why the Narbeths choose to do such a stupid thing, or how the parties ironically came to dine at the same place, on the same day and time. Nor, did anyone noticed that the walls separating the two rooms in the eatery happened to be particularly thin that night.

Of course, Jaonos and Saavi also played a little part in "inducing" such actions from the Narbeth family through their gifts.

After weeks of sabotaging relationships between clans, Saavi, Jaonos and Nylian were exhausted. They didn't realized it would take so much of their time and effort to dig up all the dirt deeds these people had on one another and use it to turn the once stable party into a ball of chaos. 

However, this one job was worth it to them. Princess Lensa had been getting on all their nerves with her actions towards Mikaela. 

After the two's confrontation at the gardens, the newly wedded wife wasted no time going after the younger female.

She first sic her posey of blubbering idiots after Mika. They decided to spread false rumors about Mika, alluding to her lack of virtue.

With Prince Ailwin banished to the South and since they weren't officially married yet, students took delight in the speculations about the soon to be royal. Some even went out of their way to add incriminating details to the rumors.

For days, Mika had to put up with leers, catcalls and sneers from the other students at the academy. When it got to the point that an unknown male student try to forcibly pursue her. She finally decided to shut down the lying b***hes.

In her dorm room, Mika got pictures of Princess Lensa and her group of lackeys, and made very explicit photos that left nothing to the imagination. She delivered the whole album, via wristbands, to the whole academy, including the teachers, staff and guards. 

Along with a video tape she personally sent to Lensa's doorstep, of her with male that wasn't Prince Thallan, however that one was real. 

With the array of photos on every student's wristbands, the young females that followed Lensa's scheme had nowhere to hide in school. Humiliated and scared her lackeys left the academy without looking back. 

Upset that her secret has been found out and she couldn't bring Mika in her knees, Lensa ordered her guards to handle the younger female the same way they punished Kamryn.

Fortunately for Lensa, Mika didn't care about the Princess' tricks and schemes against her, she had a bigger enemy to watch out for. She left stopping Lensa's guards to Hycis and Celaena.

As the two were shadowing Mika, it was easy for them to notice the guards' movements.

Finally, happy that they would get to do something. Hycis and Celaena took their time capturing and torturing Lensa's guards for information before delivering them back to her, frozen body chunks and all.

When Lensa awoke the next morning to find her favorite two guards as icicles, she saw red. Not because someone killed her guards, but because had lost to Mika again.

It's my mistake for thinking she anything like her older sisters…. 

Telling her maids to toss out the frozen bodies, Lensa returned to her bedroom. She needed a good plan and proper help. Calling up her father and mother, the three made plans to discuss the situation over dinner.

Despite Lensa' quick thinking, a trap was already prepared for her and her family at the restaurant.

Following the eatery brawl, things seemed to have quiet down. Both at school and at Prince Thallan's palace. With Lensa recuperating from her fight with her friends, Kamryn and Lula were once again able to move around freely in their home.

Though they knew it wouldn't last for long, once Lensa was better again. They enjoyed the small free nonetheless. Yet, as the days past and the looming fear of the evil witch's return, Lula couldn't stop herself from seeking her sister's guidance and protection.

Every so often, the servants in Prince Thallan's palace would watched as Lula made her way towards Kamryn's bedroom door, knocking to be let in, but would receive no reply.

She would plead and reason that they should stick together outside the door, but still Kamryn refuses to let her in.
