After the incident that happened, Mielle, Anastasia's mother, brought her to the manor and asked for healers. Unfortunately, traveling from the capital to the manor will take two days.
"Please, what happened to my child?"
Anastasia is unconscious, sir Hayden is the one who put her to deep sleep. He planned this, all of it.
..Except for pushing the young lady to the fountain.
A loud noise opened the door and it was Seraphim, who is worried and crying for her friend.
Hayden hides the disgust that started to form on his face. Seraphim is infamous for her wicked personality, she's just a young girl that looks like an angel, and yet, she does things that are not suitable for her age.
'Is she Hayden asked through his he'd?
The Viscountess comforted Seraphim, Hayden uses his spatial magic to summon the healing mages from the capital, and in a blink, they healed Anastasia.
"I am so thankful for what you did, Sir Hayden." Mielle bowed to him, her long golden hair mesmerized the spatial mage. "Is there anything I can do in return?" She added while still bowing.
"Not at all, Madame. It was nothing."
The door opened and a young boy with golden hair and green eyes, who looked exactly like a carbon copy of Mielle entered, with two maids that accompanied him.
"My dear Siu! I thought you're with your father?"
"As soon as father heard about Sia's situation, he panicked and send me off earlier than him. He told me to pass that message to you."
"I see. It's a relief."
"Mother, how about you go for a walk with Sir Hayden?" Athanasius suggested as the maid said the tray of tea on the desk besides Anastasia.
"I'm afraid we can't, Siu. Your sister is still unconscious. I will not leave her unless she wakes up." The worried mother ramble.
"That is the reason why I'm here, mother. Go and have some fresh air, don't make me worry. Please?" Athanasius says with his cute sparkling emerald eyes.
Mielle knew she wasn't going to win against his son. It was a nice day to go outside and there was a nice fragrance out there because of the rainfall the past two days.
Seraphim's eyes are filled with gloom, she brought ison along with her. She made it for Anastasia. Just when she thought she has a chance to poison the young lady.
'Curse you, Athanasius!'
Her jaw clenched when Athanasius sat on Anastasia's bed and caress her cheeks.
"Alright, my Siu. Please bring the tea outside, I will drink it with sir Hayden." She ordered the maids.
Mielle and Hayden walked outside near the lake where a small table with two chairs waited. Her parents usually had tea here. It was a nice area where you could hear the splashes of the lake.
The maids fixed the table and poured Viscountess Mielle some tea. She noticed that Hayden is quiet.
"Is there anything else you'd like, Madame?" Her maid asked.
"No, you may return to your other duties," Mielle told her before taking a sip of tea. The maid bowed before turning to leave.
Mielle put the cup of tea to her lips and just held it there smelling the lovely fragrance.
"Is it to your liking?" She asked him.
"Ah, yes."
Hayden doesn't know how to start. Becoming a summoner takes a lot of sacrifices, if things went wrong, it will kill the person. He is quite nervous because if Mielle doesn't agree to send her daughter off, then the kingdom will fall to ruins.
"I heard that your genius daughter wanted to be a healer." Hayden started the topic.
"Indeed, I was delighted since she inherited that power."
"Have they thought of making your daughter a summoner crossed your mind?"
"What?" Mielle eyes widened in disbelief, she knows that Hayden is a professor from the academy.
"The last spirit swordman is your ancestor. Correct me if I'm wrong, Madame."
Mielle didn't know how Hayden gathered the information about it. The last Spirit swordsman came from her father's side.
Kyoto Nephus, the man who tamed the sylph, the air spirit who possesses great power.
"State your business, Sir."
Hayden sighed, he wanted to gain the trust of Mielle but it seems like she finds him suspicious.
"It is not what you think, Madame."
"Then what, huh?"
He feels nervous, if he can't persuade her, the kingdom of Lusitania will attack.
"There will be a war soon, Madame. Your husband is busy, isn't he? I believe he didn't tell you yet but the Kingdom of Lusitania has the power of Naiad, the strongest water spirit. And-"
"So? what does it get to do with me?"
Viscountess Mielle is a calm person, this is the first time that she acted like this. She feels like something is wrong.
"Lend me your daughter's power, I believe that she has the power to become a summoner."
Sudden dread of coldness taking over Mielle as she stood up and bowed to Hayden, "It was nice having a tea with you, good sir. But your request was impossible for me to fulfill. I shall take my leave."
She knew the capabilities of her daughter, everyone considers her as the genius of the century but she can't let her daughter risk her life. She's only six. Mielle doesn't like the idea of letting her child carry the burden of the world at such a young age.
"Madame, please wait! I won't let Lady Anastasia get hurt. I promise under the academy's name, we will protect her."
Mielle stopped and turned to see the green-haired man in his 20s. He is young for a professional spatial magic-user.
"I am very sorry, sir Hayden. I'm afraid I should decline you, my daughter is young."
Hayden failed to persuade Anastasia's mother. But he will never give up!
As soon as the Viscountess was out of his sight, he opened the portal and went to see the crown prince.
"Where have you been?"
Prince Theodosius still suffers from the tormenting pain when he fought the salamander. Day by day, healers visited him so he can recover peacefully and return to the palace.
"I tried to persuade the Viscountess, but I'll still do my best."
The prince was aware, even if he wants to let Anastasia live a peaceful life, he still wants to see if she has the power to be a summoner. He wants to save his kingdom.
'Forgive me, Lady Anastasia. I'm being greedy.'
"Tell the other mages to get ready, I will be going to the capital tomorrow."
