"A rose-colored hair, is it?" Sheila asks, tilting her head. "That will be a bit unusual, I don"t advise it, d.u.c.h.ess. Besides, I urge you to pick a color that resembles anyone in your family. Platinum-blond locks and emerald eyes will easily be distinguished… these traits speak of the Feuerlon family." Sheila says."Or you could make her resemble the color of your hair, which is pretty easy, if I may tell. Because a black hair is close enough to the one you possess,"
"I see," the d.u.c.h.ess says. "Then I would like to request for that child to be the same color as my hair."
"Oh? Ash-grey, is it?" Sheila smiles, "based on what the knights had told me, d.u.c.h.ess Adalia Margarette Feuerlon possess a long, grey hair that is clearly a distinct characteristic from a family originally from the country Verteidigerin, and moved to Feuersturm many, many years ago." Sheila says as she recalls being able to see before, how beautiful the color of the d.u.c.h.ess" hair back then. She was small when she saw Adalia, and the memory was nothing but a blur now. Even so, she tried to recall the color of the individual strands being illuminated by the moon, almost turning the hair white.
How beautiful. Sheila sighed to herself. How could the duke cheat on such beautiful creature that he owns, all in heart and soul?
The d.u.c.h.ess nodded. "I believe so. How do you dye her hair, then? Can that be done by magic?"

"Magic can create illusions that tricks the eye. I can cast a spell to create the illusion but not only it is inconvenient because we need to perform this every once in a while because it wears off quickly, Magierstadt professors or any magic user can easily break the illusion and Lady Faustina"s ident.i.ty will be revealed in no time."
"Then, how do you plan to do it? Manually dye her hair?"
"Yes," Sheila answers. "And no. Faustina will use a glamour that we will create that should mask the color of her hair. This is another reason why she needs to be alone in a dormitory, so she could apply the glamour with ease. We will dye her hair for extra precautions, just in case the glamour wears off, for some reason."
"Glamours are exclusive for the spies of the royal family, and they"re only created by high-ranking clairvoyants," Sheila says. "The public can not access them and are undetectable by mages. Glamours are the mixture of light and darkness that distort our perception of color. And that matters in many ways. The spectrum of light changes how we see things... this is why a glamour is only exclusive for spies, and cannot be created except whenever in a dire need."
"I see," the d.u.c.h.ess says, and then turns towards her sons and her husband. She briefly eyed Orwell and Lovellia as well. She faced the priestess once more, her eyes gleaming. "How long will I be tricked?"
Sheila held her hand.
"Until it is necessary."
