"Ok thank you." said Rita as she went to the history section and looked for the most modern book she could find on Xiphatia, or anything that might have info on the current royal family. Her scholarly background would help her identifying the best books possible for what she was looking for.
Rita could find some information identifying the first wife as Gwendoline. It stated that she once belonged to a noble family, and that she had two children with Garzic, but little other than that. There was not a lot of specific information on the children of the Royal Family, though. Likely due to them being fairly young or sheltered from the public.
Rita would find that the name of the eldest child is Alexander Cecilon, and that at the time the book was published, he was four years old. There was little other information then that, however.

Once Jessica finished creating her portal, Loki reached for his pendant to contact Rita. Rita. We are at last ready to execute the plan. Return to the place outside the city walls. Having set that, Loki looked back to Jessica, saying, "We shall set out once Rita returns."

Once Jessica finished creating her portal, Loki reached for his pendant to contact Rita. Rita. We are at last ready to execute the plan. Return to the place outside the city walls. Having set that, Loki looked back to Jessica, saying, "We shall set out once Rita returns."
"Now that we have all assembled." Loki said as Rita arived, mostly speaking to himself. With a grin that spoke of macabre anticipation, Loki stepped through the portal, Rita following. The duo would wait in a spot where someone wouldn't bumb into them should they unexpectedly leave the palace while they waited for Jessica.
Once Jessica arived, Loki and Rita entered the palace, moving passed the two guards at the entrance, who were oblivious to their pressence. Once inside, Loki took a moment to look around, then followed the corridors to Ine's room, having memorised the way previously. Outside the door, Loki turned to Jessica. "Now, since she will likely notice the door opening, you are to strike her down imediately. Aim for the forehead, just above the left eye."
Jessica followed closely behind Loki and Rita as they went, so as to avoid bumping into anything or anyone visible and setting off any signals of intruders. Hearing Loki's instructions, Jessica simply nodded to him as she started taking deep breaths again. Come on...you can do this...it has to be done...no way around it... She thought to herself, trying to steel her resolve as she flexed her right hand by clenching it into a fist and relaxing it repeatedly.
Loki turned away from Jessica, and to the door. He noted her anxiety, this making him only grin more. She shares not my anticipation, it seems. How precious. Placing his hand on the doorknob, Loki opened the door and stepped through quickly, Rita doing the same. Both of them moved out of the way for Jessica to follow.
Hearing the door open, Ine looked up for her now near-finished painting. setting her pallate down, she stood up. "Is anyone there?"

Having made herself as ready as she was ever going to be, Jessica made her move. Going off of Loki's use of the word immediately, she teleported the distance between Ine and the door instead of trying to run it. Appearing right in front of the girl, Jessica swung her right arm to punch Ine in the spot Loki had specified. She had to hold back the strength of her mechanical arm in doing so, as using her full strength would likely cave in the girl's skull and ruin Loki's plan to make her death look accidental, though her swing still carried a massive amount of force, as Jessica wanted to make sure she was at least knocked unconscious.
As Jessica's mechanical fist connected to Ine's brow, there was a audible crack over the sound of the metal hitting the face, the blow having splintered a portion of the bone. In a instant, Ine was sent reeling back, falling over backwards. She did not get up. Loki snickered at the sight. "Not quite what I had expected, but it works well enough. Check if the blow has actually killed her, would you?" he said to Jessica, then motioned Rita to follow him into the bathroom. Pathettic humans. So fragile. Looking over the tiles, Loki instruced Rita which one up lift up slightly, pointing out the third tile from the door. Rita did this, it costing hardly any effort at all.
Jessica started to feel herself get a little shaky after having actually gone through her actions. Obeying Loki's orders, she knelt down and checked Ine's pulse with her left hand. It would take her a few moments longer than normal to actually accomplish this, on account of her aforementioned shaky hands.
Jessica would find Ine had only a weakly pulse.
Not being certain what tile to uplift that was to be used to smack Ine over the head with without dragging into into the bathroom first, Loki stepped over to Jessica. "And? Has she been killed?" he asked somewhat joyfully.

Jessica shuddered as feeling the girl's weak pulse sent a chill down her spine. "Uh, n-no. She's still hanging on a bit. I-I don't really know what to do now..." She answered Loki, her voice and tone clearly conveying her feelings for the current situation.
"No? Well, that is a shame. Though it matters little. Even should the next blow not kill her, it will likely leave her with considderable brain damage, which would also yield the desired results quite nicely." Loki remarked, picking the unconscious Ine up, carrying her by the waist under his arm. He noted Jessica's trembling voice, and knew what caused it, but couldn't care less. Entering the bathroom once again, Loki unceremoniously dumped Ine on the floor, then, with greater care, moved the body to a position where it looked like she had tripped. Now knowing what tile to uplift, Loki instructed Rita to lift the eigth tile from the wall. Rita then levitated the tile over Ine's head, over the spot where Jessice had hit her previously, bashed down with the tile a single time using said levitation. When done, Rita inserted the tile back where it came from, after which Loki moved Ine so that her wound laid on the tile that had been used to whack her. After giving Ine one final glance, Loki left the bathroom and walked back to Jessica, Rita following. "And with that, we are done here. Take us back to where we had come from."
