"Kyaaak!"

Unlike a well-mannered person, Annabelle let out a distorted shriek.

"Imperial Guards, subdue them."

This time, the people screeching were Annabelle's people, who had been restraining the Princess' ladies-in-waiting outside the garden.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Emperor cleared the situation in an instant, then he looked at the arrested people grimly.

"Take away all those insolent people."

"Yes!"

"Y-Your Majesty the Emperor! You have misunderstood! Your Majesty!"

Annabelle shouted desperately once she was caught by the imperial guards.

The Emperor whipped his hand out as a sign to stop the foul words from coming out.

"...!"

"Put them all in a dungeon. Do not let anyone other than the guards meet them!"

"Hicc!"

Only then did Siervian quickly step down from her seat and run in a hurry without realizing it.

She was scared and kept crying all this time.

Her young body was impatient to go to someone who would protect her.

"Papa!"

Everyone was overwhelmed by the turbulent fluctuation of mana in the air, but Siervian's father had made it so that she was the only one unaffected.

"Siervy. You must be surprised."

Siervian had yet to learn how to deal with mana, so of course she had no idea about the fluctuation of mana around them.

Even though this situation was very strange, the current Siervian did not notice.

All she could do was cling to her father's leg.

"Princess!"

The now released ladies-in-waiting ran into the garden.

Ellie came running to Siervian with tears welling up in her eyes. Then, she fell to her knees.

The Emperor looked all around the scene and finally reached the specialist.

"Explain, Harmin specialist. What did you just do?"

From the moment the Emperor appeared, the specialist had barely moved as if he was caught in a binding spell and knelt down.

With his head bowed down, he fiercely prepared an excuse.

[ Tivree ]
Thoughts: If I get caught, I'll definitely lose my head!

Grasping the hem of her father's robe, Siervian understood the specialist's innermost thoughts.

She still shivered at the fact that he tried to make her drink something weird.

"W-Well, that's because the Princess complained that she didn't want to attend such an important ceremony."

It felt as if she was possessed by the Spirit of Mana.

Siervian carefully counted the dates until the morning, but she still couldn't believe what had happened.

After all of that, she heard the sound of rough footsteps in the garden.

"Stop!"

The one who appeared and shouted urgently was the Imperial Court Doctor.
Once he arrived, the court doctor took a deep breath, probably because he had been rushed to the garden.
