The stoopid man who only wore green clothes seemed to smile as Papa kissed Trixie's ouchie away.
"Are you sure you are okay?" Papa asked yet again, he really was worried! Of course he was! Papa loved Trixie the most!
"Yes!" Trixie said nodding as fast as it was Trixily possible, "But he is weird!"
Trixie said pointing at the Green weird person.
"He tastes weird!" Trixie didn't like it, "The ToyBox can't see him or really touch him, he is cheating!"
Papa's reaction to this was a frown. He turned his attention back to the bad cheating person, taking his appearance once more, Trixie could see it too, the ToyBox wanting to interact with him but somehow all the attempts to connect fell short.
"And you are?" Papa asked as he stood up and walked towards the cheating person, "Or is your Greenvale family too important to introduce yourselves? You know who I am, I assume you know of my daughter too? But I know not of you."
The man nodded at Papa, then turned to look around and lastly, he looked at Trixie, there was some weird glint in his eyes as he looked at Trixie, one which made Trixie shudder.
"My name is not given to either of you but merely stated so you may know how to call me," The Green cheater said, "It is not yours to keep and this is not an offering for parlay of any kind."
What was he even saying?
"You may call me Darian Aldewyn," The Green cheating person said, bowing to Papa and then to Trixie, "I am a Captain sent to ensure these do not do something stupid during your... Daughter's birthday."
Papa narrowed his eyes at the introduction, then turned to look at Trixie as if to ask if she was able to scold and punish the cheater... Trixie was not able to.
"You did a poor job then," Papa said turning his attention back to the cheater, "Your men interrupted my daughter's birthday, attempted (And in some cases managed) to gun down my men and the people attending the party."
They sure did! Trixie had to put some gum in a few holes of some knights... Or well, she didn't put it herself, but let the ToyBox do it for her, but same thing! She would need to get some gum later to compensate the ToyBox... She would be chewing gum all night as things were!
"Your security did not help... Your whole compound has a perception barrier over the site," The Green cheater said shrugging, "I do apologize, but from our perspective our men were trying to rile up your men and failing at it, that was within the permissive limits, hell, if you roughed our men a little we wouldn't have minded either..."
Then the greenie turned to look at the spot where Trixie had left the green puddle.
"Of course, that is if you stayed within the limits of what a scuffle between two organizations are." There were limits? Why? "This... is not within said limits."
"Who decides those limits? You? Jack Greenvale? The Greenhaven family?" Papa asked pointing his sword at the cheater, "Because if there are people brandishing his guns at my daughter I will do my utmost to ensure they never point their guns at anyone, above all imagine pointing your gun at a child. What are we then? What right do you Greenhaven bastards have to do something like that?"
Papa was angy, maybe he was hungy too?
"Right, I am with you in that." The Green cheater said nodding, "See this one?"
Then as if it was the most normal thing he started walking towards one of the former butlers now normal person once again, "He is Eddy, big mouth Eddy." And put a hand atop the shoulder of the former butler now named Eddy... He didn't have that big of a mouth if Trixie was to be honest... Maybe she had fixed him wrong? Should she give him a bigger mouth?
Just as Trixie was thinking about doing that, the Green cheater glared at Trixie! Rude!
"He is fifteen this year, right Eddy?" The Green cheater said, but the (Not so big mouth) Eddy didn't answer, instead just looked with his eyes weirdly open and all teary eyed, why was he crying? He was a baddie! He attacked Trixie!
Trixie remembered, he was one of those that blew soap bubbles at her! Papa said that anyone who blew soap bubbles at another was a baddie! Those could hurt your eyes! Make you cry!
"... Can you please let him speak?" The Green cheater said turning to Trixie while glaring at her, "It is rude to not let adults speak... And it is also bad manners to bully those weaker than you."
Trixie thought so! So stop bullying Trixie!
"...Trixie, let him make his case, it will not change anything." Papa said turning to Trixie, so Trixie had no choice but to do so!
"Fine!" Trixie said as she started pulling from one of her dress pockets a band-aid, "But if he starts problems, he is losing mouth privileges!"
And Trixie meant it, she was serious, she would not accept anything but good manners here!
So Trixie walked up to the baddie, Papa and the Green cheater looked at her, Trixie found weird that the cheater had jumped away from Trixie, keeping Papa and her in his line of sight, what was his deal?
Trixie didn't stink or smell bad for him to do that, she had made sure! And the ToyBox ensured that Trixie smelled the best! Rude! He was rude! He should become a rat!
...He should become a rat!
.......

"Stop doing that," The cheater said frowning, "It’s annoying."
Trixie closed her eyes and focused, she felt the light shine inside her eyes as they light up, she didn't like using this, it made her see... things she didn't like.
But this was annoying her more than anything, besides, all would be well so long she didn't look towards their house and to Papa anyway!
So with that, she ensured to look straight at the bad cheater person and no one else, sure enough she could see the ToyBox trying to grab and get hold of the cheater...
And there it was the issue, the cheater was cheating!
He was using his circle thing to push away the magics of the ToyBox!
"You are cheating!" Trixie said pointing at the bad cheater person, "You aren't supposed to do that!"
".... protect myself from hostile magic?" The cheater said confused, " Why wouldn't I do that?"
...
"Because Trixie can't help you if you do that!" Trixie said stomping the floor as if to make her point, "If Trixie can't touch you how is she supposed to help you be a better person?!?!?"
Really, why couldn't he understand something so simple?
What was he? Dumb?
"... Just fix Big Mouth Eddy." The cheater said sighing, "I really do not want for this to become a hostile encounter, we are at our limit and we could do without having to start a new war."
Trixie frowned yet again and glared at the (Not so big mouth) Eddy, "You tell him that you are better now than before then." And slapping the band-aid in (Not so big mouth) Eddy, Trixie turned and glared once more at the cheater. "Tell him!"
Trixie pointed at the cheater and then looked at Eddy, "Tell him how you all are in the wrong and he is a cheater!"
"First," The cheater spoke before Eddy could say anything, "He is my employee, he has a signed agreement with the Greenvale family and The GreenHaven Gang, one in which he gives all the rights to his safety and life while under our care."
Trixie felt a tug at the ToyBox, as if something was taking something from her, it hurt and made her arms itchy, as if someone was stealing something that was hers.
"Secondly," The cheater turned to Eddy, "Do you know his name?"
Trixie turned to look at the (Not so big mouth) Eddy, "Isn't he Eddy? You said he was called Eddy... Did Trixie swap his name with someone else? Trixie hates when that happens." It was annoying, they would end with multiple toys with the same name, that was part of the reason she had stopped naming the knights she played with. She would call one or two with the same name and they would get mixed before she noticed.
"I suspected as much..." The cheater said shaking his head, "You don't really care for human life do you?"
"But they are Trixie's toys..." Trixie said looking weirdly at the cheater, "Papa, I think the cheater is dumb. He is saying toys are humans, he is wrong, right?"
They had told her that she couldn't play with the people that wasn't inside Trixie's house because they were innocent civilians or something, that human life was valuable, and whatnot. Trixie wasn't sure why they had gone that far.
It was obvious, you shouldn't hurt other people, that was what bad people did!
But if they attacked Trixie's toybox, or tried to hurt Trixie's toys, they weren't people, they were baddies!
Baddies didn't have rights! Papa and... and... who else was it? Mama? Nanny? Aunty? She didn't know who it was, but they had told her that too!
"Yes Trixie," Papa said nodding, "Toys don't have human rights or life, they are toys after all."
"....Ah... Yeah, I thought it was weird when the bossman said we should be careful of you even if we thought your Circle was weaker." The cheater said nodding as if he understood something, which was stupid, since he was stoopid. He didn't understand a thing. Imagine thinking toys are alive, heh, he was dumb. "You too are under its effects... is it willingly? Your Circle seems stable enough, so I guess you aren't that affected... Unless you do it to get her to help you? It matters not."
What was he talking about? Papa was not a Toy... Why would he get affected by the ToyBox?
"Edwards Smith is a member of the Greenhaven gang; as such, his rights and life are under our management, and we have not offered him nor accepted any tampering with his circle or life." The Green cheater continued saying and Trixie felt as if someone had ripped out a bandaid and hurt her arm. "With that said, Eddy... Are you okay?"
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" The (Not so big mouth) Eddy started screaming as soon as that happened, and after ripping open his shirt he started scratching at his tummy, was he hungy?
Perhaps Trixie should get some tea and cupcakes...? Ah but she lost all her butlers... should she get new ones? But they didn't have more baddies....
"THE CUPCAKES! THE CUPCAKES WILL GET STALE!!! WE NEED TO SERVE THEM!" Eddy continued screaming as the Green cheater rushed past Trixie and pulled the Eddy away from her and (Still continued) kept her in her line of sight, "THE TEA!!! WHY IS IT SPILLING??? I DIDN'T TOUCH THE SPOUT!"
"EDWARDS!" The Green cheater suddenly hit Eddy in his chest as he moved the magicks from his Circle from his Core to Eddy, the magicks juices spread evenly across Eddy till they focused in the squiggless that Eddy had.
In there, the cheater's magicks started to stimulate him, and slowly Eddy stopped thrashing around and calmed down.
"Breathe Eddy... Breathe," The cheater said as Eddy started to calm down.
".... Sir... " And at some point the Eddy started crying and hugging the cheater, "I... I gave out... I gave out my own organs with a smile... And they ate them... And I could feel it... And then... My blood... Our blood..."
Silly Eddy... You shouldn't give your insides to others, you need them to eat!
"... She... She is a demon." Eddy said with trembling voice, "SHE IS A DEMON!"
A demon? What's a demon?
"There are many forms a demon can take," Papa suddenly started speaking as he stood beside Trixie, "I for one consider those that would assault a birthday party and point and discharge their guns at a child one such form. Wouldn't you think so too? Darian?"
The cheater nodded at Papa, so then Eddy was a baddie? Should Trixie...
"But another form are the demons we create too," The cheater said shaking his head and looking briefly at Trixie, "Even if they themselves aren't aware, those too are a blight upon our society, those with power should use it for the betterment of society."
The what of what?
"Ah yes," Papa said nodding with a mocking smile, "The motto of the daughter of Jack, Eliza was it?"
"With powers comes both responsibility and duty," The Green cheater said, nodding, "That is indeed the favorite saying of the princess."
"Your so called princess which caused the war you suffer from, the same war that fragmented our community and plunged into despair many?" Papa smirked as he said so, "The same war that ended destroying one of the great families and created this volatile state we live in? The same war which is responsible for so much death?"
"... She did not start it." The Green cheater said turning to look at Trixie and then to Eddy.
"She sure as hell ended it," Papa said also turning his attention to Eddy, "All because the peasants wanted her to stop crying, so they razed the apartments, houses, workplaces of almost any place they suspected their enemies could be."
The Green cheater closed his eyes and instead spoke to Eddy, was he not going to answer Papa? "Eddy... I know it's too much, but I need you to answer this." Then, turning to look at Trixie, he added, "Why did you all decide to attack the Princess of White?"
Yay! He finally admitted that Trixie was a princess!
"... We heard it... The whispers..." Eddy said closing his eyes, "The whispers that the Daughter of Evil still lived, that the enemy of the Princess of Hope hadn't been vanquished, but instead moved on to a new base."
And now it was Eddy the one who ignored Trixie and called a princess someone else?!?!?!
"... We followed the whispers and found it... The home of the Daughter of Evil had risen once again..." Eddy then pointed at Trixie with one hand, and then with the other, he started searching for something inside his jacket, "AND SHE WAS NOT ONLY THE DAUGHTER OF EVIL BUT AN ACTUAL DEVIL!"
*BANG*
"... Should... Should Trixie fix that?" Trixie asked as Eddy tried to eat his pew-pew... But why did he put a hole there? His head shouldn't need a hole like that.
"Please don't." The cheater said, sighing at the appearance of Eddy who now had a new extra hole in his head, "... Well this is a problem..."
"So it seems," Papa said nodding as he raised his left hand to the side, Trixie then put Papa's other sword there, he had made the motion for his sword so Trixie gave him a sword! "That was a confession of intent, one that clearly spilled out that he willingly attacked our compound with evil intent, way before he could be within the area of our control."
"We don't know for sure the range of your daughters..." The cheater said pointing all around them, was he speaking about Trixie's toybox?
"The ToyBox's range is only in Trixie's house!" Trixie said from the side helpfully.
"...Is that the truth?" The cheater said turning to Papa.
"Good girls don't lie!" Trixie defended her honor, "And Trixie is a good girl, only bad girls lie!"
And Trixie was no bad girl, she may be slightly Evil, but she was not bad!
