For a bit of context, there are twelve blood castes, with Fuchsia being the highest. There are three fuchsia families: Kilipa, Jongin and Rutifo. Kilipa is the actual royal family, bearing heirs / heiresses. Sinoah Kilipa is the prince and the next in line for the throne. He has five contracted servants, who he becomes close friends with. His younger sister, Naximity Kilipa, is extremely envious. Sinoah has always received the favorite child treatment, and he's going to be king. Naximity wants to feel even half as loved as their parents love Sinoah. She has a very active imagination and created an imaginary friend, whom she named Aradeel, Ara for short. One day while walking in the market, a witch / voodoo woman approaches Naximity and tells her she can make her dreams come true. Naximity is a bit cautious at first, but soon gives in and goes to the witch's tent booth thing. After a long and painful ceremony, Aradeel is a real person with the intent of making Naximity queen. They lay low for a bit, while Naximity teaches Aradeel who her older brother is, who his friends are, and why she should be queen. Aradeel swears to stay by Naximity's side, so they have to pass her off as a real person and not a literal figment of Naximity's imagination. All the Kilipa's born are kept in a record book (their names), so they give her the last name Rutifo. They roam the court together, and Sinoah is concerned about Naximity's new "friend". He notices the way Aradeel looks at his contracted servants, as if they were prey and she was a hungry wolf. One day, one of his servants disappears. He KNOWS it's Aradeel, but has no proof. One by one, his servants disappear. His mental state is weakened by all the confusion and sadness. Aradeel attempts to kill Sinoah, but Naximity never wanted him to die. She steps in and Aradeel accidentally kills her instead. Since Naximity is dead, Aradeel ceases to exist and melts into a puddle of blood and gold, much to a horrified Sinoah's discomfort. Sorry for the long context thing, but there's my dilemma. I haven't exactly figured out how / where Aradeel was hiding his five servants. I don't want them to just pop back into existence, that's not a satisfying ending to me. But I don't want to send Sinoah on a super heroic quest™! He would be too busy grieving for Naximity and his five servants, who are presumed dead. So… Can someone help me please?
