Angel Monarch

-Royal Investigation Bureau-

The anxious man walked towards Sarah, new reports just came in about the pair.

"Your Highness. Our reporters found them and harassed them until they left." Sarah just looked at the man without expression and asked in a firm voice.

"What do you mean 'until they left', I am pretty sure I explicitly told you not to let them leave. Or at least make them leave aggressively." The man became nervous, but he answered anyway.

"Well... You see Your Highness... They couldn't follow them, because they flew away." The piqued her interest.

"How exactly did they fly away, did one of them transform into some flying monster?"

The man just shook his head and pointed to the big screen on the far wall. Soon a camera's picture came into view, it showed Angel Monarch and Queen of Nature trying to leave without causing anyone harm.

Soon enough her facial expression changed, visible getting annoyed. But unlike what the princess thought Angel Monarch didn't attack or even hurt any of the reporters. Instead two amazingly white wings appeared behind her and with just a couple of beats they were already gone.

There was only silence in the room. The crew of about 50 people sitting behind their screens, were watching the feed. Even Sarah was in awe, she never seen anything like that in her life.

"I... I need to call... Call my brother... This changes everything!" She said while already leaving the room.

...

Mean while Sera and Bea was still in the air, but slowly descending near the campus area. The other students on the ground watched the whole scene astonishment, but neither paid them any heed. They just went into the building and to Sera's room.

It was past 20 and Vicky should have returned already. They went through the corridors any people coming their way stared at them, but none dared say even a 'hello'.

'How rude! They stare at us because we are famous, but can't even properly say hi!'

They arrived at the door and went in. Inside Vicky was playing with Faith, then they heard the door opening and she immediately ran to Sera an hugged her.

"Hey little angel, did you have fun?" Asked Sera with a beautiful smile.

"Yes, Helen showed me the arcade, they have so many games there! And Helen is super nice!" Then Vicky's face became a bit confused. "But sometimes she acted weird, she asked me about my life. I talked about our journey from Havel to here, but I didn't talk about Nightmare as you said I shouldn't.

Anyway, she made a weird face every time I described a monster and how you killed it, her face went white as well. It looked funny."

Sera looked at Faith, but she just shrugged. 'Well, lets hope Helen wasn't scared to death.' Then she turned back to her daughter and after a big sigh said.

"Vicky, you shouldn't talk about monsters and how we kill them. Especially not to regular humans, they don't live life as dangerously as we do. They will get scared and it isn't nice to scare people. Next time try to dodge the question, or just say you don't remember."

With that she stood up and petted Vicky on the head. Then she turned and took Bea's hand, hers was trembling from the anxiety, but she had to tell the news. With a firm nod she sent Faith away, she was really good at reading emotions and she new instantly that whatever will happen it is a private affair. Both Sera and Bea looked at each other smiling before turning back to Vicky.

"So Vicky, do you remember what we talked about?" Asked Sera nervously. Vicky looked between the two of them a few times.

"About Bea becoming my new mother?" Her face started to brighten and she grew really excited.

"Yeah, she accepted so if you are fine with it, she will be staying her from now on." Both Sera's and Bea's anxiety melted away as Vicky jumped and hugged them both.

"Yes! Yes! Mother Bea!" She began to jump around the room, shouting 'Mother Bea' constantly, the pair just laughed and Bea put her arm around Sera and she leaned into her.

After Vicky finally calmed down, everyone gotten ready for bed. There was a bed in the children's room, but they didn't force Vicky to sleep there. The bed was big enough anyway for the three of them. They put on clothes given to them by the university, they were pretty high quality with the schools logo on it.

They turned on the TV and the first thing that popped up was the news channel. And of course it was showing footage of the events near the fast food place. At the bottom it read: "Queen Seraphine! Real Angel!". Suddenly the live footage cut away to a talk show, the host was speaking with the fast food worker who served them.

"So, how would you describe Angel Monarch and her lover Queen of Nature." Asked the host with a smirk, but what the woman said surprised her. She was talking with an unusual amount of reverence, like speaking of a saint.

"They were the most beautiful and kind person I have met. After they entered everyone recognized them, but they still went to the back of the line and waited until it was their turn!" The host made a surprised face, but quickly regained his smirk.

"So, they can wait a bit. That doesn't make them very kind, just normal." He was trying way too hard to make the woman slander Sera and Bea, but the woman just shook her head with a smile.

"You don't understand. First things first I have never seen an Evolved eat at a fast food place. Second they order two burgers and when I delivered it, they even thanked me! But that wasn't what made them kind in my eyes, yeah it was unusual, but not that amazing.

They went into line again and ordered another two, but when I was about to bring it they slipped from my hand and they fell to the floor right next to them. You know what they did?"

The host's face was solemn, he never heard of Evolved being this nice to anyone. All of them were at least a little bit aloof and thought they were better. He prompted the woman to continue.

"They smiled at me! But not the cruel smile I had gotten used to, no. It was a knowing smile, a kind smile, one that felt sorry for me. Then they just stood up, walked to the counter, waited in line for a third time and bought another set of burgers. They even tipped me a huge amount!"

The man's face fully broke, he just couldn't believe it. Evolved supposed to be treated like saints, but they never act kind. They are weapons to fight and kill monsters, and everyone accepts them acting like lords. But this didn't make sense, the ratings of the new arrivals were public data, which meant everyone knew Sera was the highest rated person ever, which made this even more bewildering.

They were about to speak more when Sera turned of the TV with a big sigh. She held her head for a bit shaking it, she was mentally exhausted just from listening to that.

"Why is this happening? Every time, I go to a new place I tried to be nice to people and they began thinking I'm some kind of saint, just because everyone else is mean to them!"

She turned to Bea and Vicky to get some support, but she was knocking on the wrong door. They were in the process of dying from laughter, seems like her rant was really funny to them.

"Yes very funny laugh at at my misery and maybe I will find another place to sleep tonight. Faith will definitely be happy to provide accommodations." She pretended to be angry, but it worked both of them stopped laughing and apologized. Sera just smiled and put her arm around both of them with Vicky in the middle, they stayed in comfortable silence for a while.

Sera looked at her Watch to check on the time and realized the she haven't even checked on her armor ability, or Vicky's abilities. Her Watch also needs to be connected with Bea's as well. But then she turned to the two of them, they were already sleeping. With a smile she turned off the lights and snuggled in with them.

'Tomorrow. There is always tomorrow. We will check them out then, after taking our classes and actually attending them. But in the late afternoon we will surely have time!'

In the comfort of her loved ones Sera drifted in a sleep. And since getting captured she finally slept without any problem. There were no nightmares, no waking up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night. Only a calm, restful sleep with the two person who matters the most in her life.
