It didn't take long for the farmworkers to notice that honey has been collected from several trees.

With it being the early morning and harvest season not starting for another month, the workers knew that this was not a mistake.

Reporting to their supervisor, they estimated that about five hundred liters of honey had been extracted from the trees.

"We must notify the elders..." The supervisor was not happy to be the one to tell them this news.

Everyone in the clan knows how frustrated and short-tempered the elders have been because of Lady Jaelah's and Lady Delju's fighting.

To now have to report that they will be short on honey this season was not going to go over well.

At the elders' council room, they sat there with a blank stare as the farm supervisor explain the problem they were going to face soon.

"...Someone extracted at least five hundred liters of honey between last night and early this morning..."

"You sure...maybe you made a mistake...?" An elder implored the supervisor.

"No, we are sure. Harvest season doesn't come for another month, we haven't collected any yet. This morning several trees were tapped out..."

"Argh! What were the guards doing last night!" Various elders held their head in dismay.

A guard who was on duty last night step forwarded.

"Sirs, last night me and my partner were on duty. We didn't see anything...but..."

"...but? But what!" This was the very last thing the elders wanted to deal with after playing mediator to Lord Mano's wives for the past week or so.

"Miss Sienna did show up late last night wanting to get inside. We turned her away, but early in the morning she showed up again..." The guard remembered Sienna's weird behavior this morning.

"That's right!... Miss Sienna ask me for a letter to gain access to the farm because the guards turned her away." An elder spoke as the memory came back to him.

"Why would Miss Sienna want entrance into the farm...?" The rest of the elders turned to the guard.

"She said that she regularly take night walks in there and she wanted to do so last night." The guard recounted everything Sienna did last night before being dismissed from the room.

"If what happened last night, is what we all think happened last night, then this will not be good for the clan..." It goes without saying that it's illegal for anyone to sell honey on the black market.

If people outside find out that the Amara clan has taken part in the illegal sale of honey, the royal family will take action against them.

They will kill everyone, leaving nothing behind.

"What...How do we handle this...?"Someone ask as the room grew too heavy.

"We must bring Miss Sienna in for questioning..."

"We don't even know if she is the one responsible..."


"..but she is our only lead right now..."

"How can we keep this from getting out...?"

"This is will cause more fighting if we are wrong..."

"Should we restrict everyone from leaving...?"

"Won't that draw attention from the outside! Remember the investigation on Lady Delju from the governor office is still ongoing..."

The elders were so absorbed in their discussion that they didn't hear when a steward knocked on their door.

"Sirs..."

"Ah... Who let you in!?" An elder spotted the steward standing in front of their table.

"Sirs, I knocked, but no one answered..."

"So you just come in! Out with you!" They were discussing a serious issue concerning the whole clan's well being, they didn't want it getting out.

"...but sirs, Lord Mano is back..."

"WHAT!? Why didn't you say so sooner!..." The elders ran out of the room, leaving the steward with a wronged expression.

At the landing pad, the aircraft carrier Lord Mano had taken to bring Mikaela back was just touching down.

The wives and some of the servants were standing to the side, waiting for Mano to disembark.

The elders were the last ones to show up.

Looking to the side, they saw all the wives representing themselves elegantly. They couldn't imagine these were the same women who were physically fighting with each just last night.

"Scary..." Many of the elders though this as they saw the women smiling and laughing with one another.

*Pssh*

The bay doors to the aircraft lowered, drawing everyone's attention to the person stepping out.

Fixing their hair and clothes everyone was wanting to be the first person to catch Lord Mano's attention.

The footsteps walking down the ramp had the wives brightening up their smiles.

"Aw!... You all came just for little old me! Thank you...you guys really do love me!"

Mikaela's petite body was the first one out of the bay doors, making everyone's smiles turn into frowns.
