?|THE LAST PIECE|?{Wmmap}

       {=========================}

[Ruby palace]

Ashaya found herself immersed in a book about mana, yet her focus eluded her; her typically serene heart was now a tempest of anxiety.

'Athanasia met raven means... means she will soon collapse and I don't want that to happen......
What should I do?'

In the original narrative The female lead had a mana outburst, and was barely saved thanks to the male leads magical skills.

Ashaya desperately sought a means to assist Athanasia, hoping to prevent the tragicty.

Yet, despite her efforts, she could not recall even the minutest detail that might guide her.

Lucas remained the sole individual capable of averting such a catastrophic event.

"Haha stop raven!"
Athanasia cried out, her voice ringing with a mix of delight and urgency.

Ashaya shifted her gaze to Athanasia, her anxious heart slowly calmed down.

'A beast..... created from someone's mana...Huh?...I probably won't have one...'
she mused.

Recognizing that her ability to harness the mana within her body indicated a stability that rendered a divine beast unnecessary.

Her curiosity about raven piqued, as it hinted at the possibility of conjuring a divine beast from her own mana.

'Is it possible to make one?'

Her thoughts wondered in different directions.

"Princess!"
Lily's voice broke through her thoughts.

"Yes, Lily."
Ashaya replied, her attention returning to her surroundings.

"It's time to sleep!"
Lily announced, approaching Ashaya's seated form.

"Okay."
Ashaya acquiesced, allowing Lily to gently lift her and lay her down in bed.

"Night, Lily."

"Night, Princess!"

.......

[The royal garden]

The three members of the imperial family were having a tea party as usual.

*Guh

A crimson pool spilled from Athanasia's lips.

Leaving Ashaya paralyzed.

'I-i could have stopped it....I wasn't able find a way....I...'
Her mind was a tempest of thoughts, anchoring her in place, rendering her unable to move even a inch.

Claude's usual lazy and indifferent face was no were near in place, right now he was a terrified father who does not know what happened to his daughter.

Athanasia started to become dizzy.

Felix dashed forward, catching her just before she crumpled to the ground.

......

The empire's finest physicians were summoned, yet none could provide the necessary aid. Consequently, magicians were called upon.

The most skilled among them managed to rouse her from unconsciousness.

But due to her erratic mana, Athanasia endured excruciating agony, as if her very insides were ablaze.

Ashaya exerted every effort, yet the outcomes were far from favorable.

She sat silently beside Athanasia's bedside.

She sat there motionless as she witnessed her sister's suffering.

"Fa-ather."
Ashaya choked on her words, casting a pleading gaze to Claude who was standing right beside her, her voice thick with emotion,

She was struggling to remain calm, she chould not think straight, she knew everything will be alright, but what if....

Claude cast a sleeping spell over Athanasia, hoping to alleviate her torment.

Ashaya was gently ushered away, urged to take a moment for herself and rest.
