Three months later,
Three months have passed ever since the day Anette became a statue, Jellal after crying for many hours begging her to come back ended up coming back to the center empire leaving Anette there under the order of Anette's mother, the empress.
Everyone grieved for the loss of princess Athena of the southern empire. The empire rose one more even after losing their superstrength even after revealing the news of their loss magic. No empire dared to attack the southern empire due to their talented warriors.
"Brother...cough...are you really leaving??" Jessica came down alone to see Jellal off as he left the duchy with the luggage beside him. His brothers were overjoyed by the news of Anette's death and his father didn't care about him. No matter he left or died, it was none of his business.
