The Arcadia Chronicles III: Wood Elf Quest

Maid 'Guide'

Third person's POV

The group gathered in front of Seremith, Liliana held Dianne's head and pushed it to bow down I apologize for the trouble we caused, King Seremith. The Elven-King sighed It's okay, in some way, I want to say thanks for defeating Vantra.

The group blinked in surprise Eh?

He continued I want this to be a lesson for the Elves - most of them think little of you humans, in other words,.. he looks at Dianne ...they're underestimating your kind. I want them to know that neither race is above or below - we're all equal in this world.

Axel thought wryly Really? If I compare what this kingdom looks like and the places outside this forest, one can immediately tell that these Elves ranks higher than us.

He said to them Better get some rest, I'm sure all of you are exhausted on just what happened, especially Dianne here. He then took a look at the backyard - the once beautiful grounds is now riddled with holes and charred with fire They sure can battle hard.

Meanwhile, the group is about to enter when Liliana called Kiyan I think we should have a word with Dianne. Kiyan blinked Ooh-kay, Miss.

Dianne gulped.

The others are surprised that they separated from them, Axel asked What are they doing? Alexander grinned Oh no, Dianne is in one terrible time. He called out Hey, 'Li, we'll go ahead now.

Liliana's POV

Dianne knelt in front of me, I started What were you doing?! That was reckless on what you did out there! What if you were terribly injured or something? Dianne said glumly I'm sorry, Miss, it's just that,..they were making fun of us that I wasn't able to hold myself back.

Liliana sighed I understand what you're feeling but you must read that, even though you made your point, we're in a disadvantageous position - we're in a place their kind is living, if we make trouble to them and we need to escape, we'll have a terrible time for they know their home inside out. Then their warriors will come chasing us, if Vantra is already strong enough, she's not the only one for I'm sure that there are a lot more of them!

Kiyan said hesitantly, trying to smile Miss, c-calm down a little.

As one of the Wild Rose leaders, we're responsible for all of our actions!

Dianne looks at the ground Yes, Miss... She's surprised on what Liliana said next...

Liliana took a deep breath and exhaled But still, as a fellow swordsman, I'm impressed that you managed to defeat an elite warrior. As the rapier wielder who trained you, I am proud of you. Dianne's face slightly flushed at Liliana's compliment. She continued I believe that this encounter made you stronger than before.

Dianne slightly smiled Maybe, Miss Liliana. To be honest, I feel just being myself - I didn't feel something like some sort of power was building in me or something like that. Liliana frowned You didn't sense anything?

Hmmm...I don't know, Miss. I was too focused on the battle to notice anything strange.

Liliana recalled that she saw her hair turn blue for a short moment, she thought Her Kazoku must incomplete. When I got into that state, my mana came rushing out like a river, it made me unusually uncomfortable that I have mana beyond what I can store in me that I have to burst out the spilling, excess mana and I could feel power brimming out of me, resulting the Kazoku state. If she almost went to that state, she could've sensed her power.
