ALANNYS heaved a sigh as she wipes Jennette's face with a clean damp cloth.

The princess has been asleep for approximately 31 days and not a single magician was able to determine the cause of the Princess' current situation. According to Killian and his Majesty, the Princess showed no signs of waking up after she and her father went to the divine beasts' realm to sign a contract.

Maybe this is the cause of great mana disturbance in the Princess' little body.

'Princess, I hope you wake soon, there's not enough sunshine in Lithios without you around.'

Alannys paused from what she's doing when the doors to Jennette's room opened, Alannys quickly curtsied when she saw the emperor and Killian along with a black haired individual entering the room.

"Your Majesty." Alannys greeted, the emperor glanced at her and nodded. Alannys went to Killian's side when she saw the black haired individual approaching the bed where Jennette's currently situated.

"I see."

Aniel crossed his arms and stared at the magician in front of him, "What is it?"

The magician turned around and bowed his head, "The cause of her Royal Highness' current predicament is due to extreme mana exhaustion, your Majesty."

Aniel hummed and nodded, he already had an inkling that mana exhaustion is the root of all of this.

"Will she wake soon?" Aniel asked.

The magician turned around and stared at the sleeping girl, "Yes, your Majesty. It's just a matter of time before the Princess wakes."

"Very well. You are dismissed, Killian go take the magician to his room, from now on, he's a magician of the royal family. Lumiere, was it? Follow Killian and take a rest. I'll watch over her. Alannys, you're dismissed as well."

The aforementioned people all bowed their heads and placed their fist close to their hearts, "Peace and Prosperity upon the Lithian Empire."

Aniel waved his hand dismissively and proceeded to sit on the chair beside Jennette's bed.

Aniel stared at Jennette's peaceful sleeping form and reached out a hand to brush stray hairs away from her face, "Wake up soon, I'll be waiting."

—JENNETTE—

Huh? Where am I? I'm quite sure that I was with Daddy and Killian in the gazebo, but this is not the gazebo, so where?

"Daddy? Killian? Where are you?" Jennette called out to the vast green field that's filled with flowers.

Huh, these flowers are nice. Should I pick some to give to Daddy? Does Daddy even likes flowers?

I heaved a sigh and crossed my arms, "Daddy is so secretive that I don't even know if he likes flowers or not"

Nonetheless, I continued walking through the vast field until I reached a big tree that's filled with blue flowers.

"I think I've seen this tree before, from one of my books," I murmured to no one.

"Beautiful aren't they?" I heard a melodious voice say, I quickly turned around and what greeted me was a stunning sight.

Wow she's really really pretty! I've never seen someone so pretty, before! But she looks a little bit like Daddy?

Oh pointy ears! She's an elf! Like me! I'm only quarter elven but still, wait, don't tell me that she's my—

"Yes. I am your grandma." She finished my thought for me, was I that obvious?
