"What's she talking about, Alexia?" Pius asked, folding his arms and looking at the younger princess with the beginnings of a smirk. When Ayers brought up his opinion, which did seem like the likely thing if worst came to worst, Pius' expression stayed at the beginnings of a smirk.

"We'll see about that." He replied.

"I have heard of Miss Noa. She is syrong indeed...but not someone I see as a Royal Knight. But...if she so wishes, I think I might have something for her. I will have to speak to my mother."

Alice nodded. "I thought that you would only accompany me in tasks that I could not do alone. Not to brag, but I can handle a great many things. Rest assured, I will mot take much of your time...until you graduate, at least."

Alice laughed when she heard Pius. "Oh, that. Something Father mentioned. About Alexia's choice of Royal Knight."

"He said, and I quote: "Who is this Tarantula kid, anyway? Couldn't she ask Pius? I was darn sure they would be gettin married someday. They're so close, and Lexi had a huge crush on him back in the day.""

"...I am disowning you, Alice Vale. I was thirteen and stipid." said Alexia primly, resolutely ignoring her growing flush.

As Noa visibily began to get angrier and angrier, Al decided to not continue the joke. "Eh.... Right, I-I'm gonna... Em.... Go speak with someone else. Bye!" He said, before akwardly walking towards Alexia while trying to stay out of his teammate's gaze.

Calming himself quickly when he was already near her, the man thought to joke about her family's choice in terrible guardians but then he had a better opportunity for a joke.

"That Tarantula kid is right here thank you."

"Oh also, Lexi, thirteen and stupid implies you're any less stupid now, which is plain false girl." He looked at her with a smug smile as he said that.

Ieria nodded her head. "Very well, your highness. I will accept my place as your guardian." She said as she got down on her knees and looked up at her.

"Oh ho ho, hoo hee ha ha." Pius laughed in a monotone while keeping his smirk. "You had crush on me when we were thirteen, Alexia? We're flattered." Then the Tarantula boy himself entered the conversation with what he believed was something clever, but the Nobel just saw it as insulting with Alfred's delivery.

Her "stupid" has gotten her along better than your "savvy," boy. He thought as he took a glance at Alfred, frowning at him before returning his attention to the princesses and his team with a neutral expression.

As if Lexi wasn't humiliated enough! Now she was positively burning up. "A....Alfred! You're awake! How..much did you hear?"

Alice's eyes narrowed. "Tarantula. I believe we have to talk after this. Privately."

She turned back to Ieria and drew Lexi's sword. "A knight is sworn to valor. Her blade protects the innocent. Her wrath undoes the wicked. Her heart knows only virtue. Her word speaks only truth."

"Doth thou swear to uphold these, the Knightly virtues? Doth thou swear to protect thine charge and thine kingdom?"

"Then.."

She tapped both of Ieria's shoulder and the top of her head with the blade.

"I knight thee. Rise, Lady Ieria Jade, Knight of the Gold Flame."

"WOO! FUCK YEAH!" Sophie clapped loudly, ruining the moment. "Medus, you can to sleep with like, basically royalty now."

Pius clapped politely at Ieria's achievement, his small smile completely genuine.

"Good job, Ieria. Now..." Then the Nobel felt his stomach grumble. As far as he could recall, no one on his team had actually eaten breakfast yet.

"Could we please figure out what to eat as a team? I could cannibalize any minute now."

Alfred put put his hand on her shouldrern as his smirk widened. He got near her ear, close enough to whisper, "I hear everything Lexi. Everything. All of your dirty secrets." After saying that, he immediately did a quick backstep to dodge the possible punch or kick to the testicles she'd give him for doing that, when he heard he has to speak with Alice in private however, he wasn't exacly happy.

Not that that showed on his face or was heard in his voice.

"Oh great I gotta lick the boots of 2 princesses now! I always dreamed of doing that! First I do it to aristocrats, now the royal family! I just can't wait!" Al said in the most fake excited voice he could possibly give, and an incredibly phone expression of an excited kid on his face.

Remus applauded along with everyone as he got up. "Well this has been fun, but if you'll excuse me I need to go do something."

Remus proceeded to go upstairs, eventually making his way onto the roof. Here he could train in peace, and the uneven surface of the roof made for excellent training.

Ieria nodded her head as she stood before her charge. "Thank you, your highness." She said with a bow. "I look forward to working for you in the future." Despite her words, Ieria's voice carried no emotion, same as her face, still with that blank expression. She turned to Pius and nodded. "My meal is going to be as simple as it always is, I am afraid."

Alexia jumped when Alfred did that. Heart thumping, she glared at the boy. "Jerk!"

Lexi turned to look at Pius. "I guess there's still some steak...and...Alice, no!"

Alice had, at Alfred's last words, had glared at the Tarantula who now found himself floating and getting his head smacked by the roof.

"Let him go! This is wrong!" demanded Lexi, a fierce scowl on her face.

"I simply wanted to get his attention. Fine."

She let Al gently float downward.

"Stay there, will you? We still have to talk later."

The trumpets made Naima jump. "What now?" She wondered aloud, looking at Cara. "Well, maybe we should head down. I'm getting hungry. Are you coming, Mia?"

And with that she headed out and down to the dining area.

"Oh! Am I interrupting something?" Someone was getting knighted? How exciting! Was royalty among them?

Training Room

Instead of crashing head first into the blade, Yun kicked off the ground with a small burst of aura and flipped over Belle's head, before landing in a forward roll a few feet behind her.

Yun quickly jumped back to his feet and closed in again, knowing that his landing would have alerted Belle to his position

"Alright, then." Pius replied and finally turned around towards the mostly-emptied kitchen.

"Let's make some steak. Any particulars, say them now, otherwise they're all going to be medium rare."

Training Room

As soon as Yun landed Belle caught onto what he was doing, breifly remembering her battle with the Morder. She spun on her heels and swing her sword her oncoming opponent.

Medus walked over to Alice while everyone was distracted and tapped her on the shoulder to get her attention. "Unfettered access to royal intelligence. It will allow me to effectively compensate when she's gone." The rocker whispered into the princess' ear.

Alice nodded at Naima. "Good Morning. I am Alice Vale, I'm Lexi's sister."

Said sister was still glaring at her elder. Lexi thought that sometimes Alice went way too far.

Alice turned back to the others. "Now, the last thing I want to talk about. About who attacked me."

Alexia stared at her sister with worry, anger forgotten. "Ali, do you know who it is? Can we...do you know where he is?"

Alice shook her head. "I only know what I saw. He had a biosuit, like us. He had my Power. And Mia's as well. He had tentacles like Beth. He spoke only once. Called me a glitch. He calls himsel Omega."

It was too late to dodge Glen's uppercut.

There were only two moves that Ai could pull. One of them would be to increase her weight so that she would take the full force of Glen's uppercut but wouldn't go flying.

The other was to do the complete opposite. Like punching a balloon full of air, the lighter Ai was, the more she went flying. Way out from under Ghatz's portal, to safety meters away when she landed on her butt.

Ai clutched her jaw while her Aura helped her to regain her senses. Any second now, Charisse's tornado should travel through that portal.

"Omega?" Jack asked, "Think it could have been a countermeasures in case you girls fucked up?" He suggested.

Alice looked at Medus. "I will think about it. But for now..."

She sighed, and then responded to Jack. "That is always a possibility. But...this Omega, he seemed incomplete. I forced him to flee when I destroyed an energy cell strapped to his back."

As he was thrown up at the ceiling and incapable of pulling his weapon, Al understood exactly what kind of person Alice was and how he had to deal with her. He glared at her coldly, in the expression he only wears when he's actually fighting. Although it wasn't visible on the surface he was scared shitless by that. His mobility is what gave him his advantage when wit wasn't enough. As he was put gently down his expression turned stoic, and he seemed like a completely different person from the jokey asshole he was before. He began speaking in a monotone voice. His hands folded behind. His stance seemed like that befitting an actual bodyguard. "Roger that your highness."

Omega? Really? Am I gonna have to deal with villains with incredibly cliche names now? This year's just gonna be so much damn fun.

Yun quickly brought one arm to intercept the swing, and used the other arm as a brace. Even then, the force of the swing sent him back two feet.

Despite the fun he was having, Yun knew that he was at a disadvantage in this match. Without Skyfire, he was forced to fight at close range, or use up all his aura firing those projectiles. Not to mention that his hand-to-hand skills had gotten slightly rusty compared to his sniping skills.

"I think that's enough for now." Yun said, raising a hand in surrender. "Belle's got the advantage of range and experience with her weapon. She would have whittled my aura down to red within minutes if we continued." Despite the loss, the rifleman had a happy grin on his face. "Sorry for cutting the fight short." He apologized to Belle. "I had fun sparring with you. Maybe we can do this again next time -with both of us at our best?"

Training Room

"Anytime." Belle said sheathing Gemini. "Next time though I want to see you go all out."Belle was honestly a little disappointed, but she supposed it was only a test run for Yun's new weapon. Thinking back she did have something to say about though. "Hey that Aura shot thing you did, how does it work?"

Glen snarled as an ancestorsdamned miniature tornado began whirling out of Ghatz's latest portal. Realizing that everyone around him had decided to use their semblances, Glen figured he might as well see how his Highland Fury would stack up against his speedier foes. Now moving slower, but hitting harder Glen attempted to run around the tornado. If he were to succeed, Glen would charge at Charisse and attempt to clothesline his teammate.
