Inside the lush greenery of the royal garden, a tranquil haven where Queen Rose often sought solace in her lonliness, she would immerse herself in the beauty and peace of the blooming flowers.
The serenity of the garden offered her a place somthing she called a sanctuary, a place where she could momentarily escape from the realities and complexities of her life's.
"Yuuten one of the four Duke said I was beginning to unlock something within me... Should i try it? "
As Rose reflected on the words Yuuten had said, a flicker of curiosity ignited within her. She considered the possibility of trying to reach her inner power that lay dormant within her.
The idea of exploring this newfound potential also intrigued her deeply "I never use mana before, even tough my mother was an elf"
Rose start to sit while imagining the idea of harnessing mana."Can I Really do that now? "
She know she had never succeed at doing this before, so she doesn't have that much hopes even though a half-elf supposed to had a deep connection towards mana just like a full fledged elf.
As Rose closed her eyes and began to breathe slowly, she focused her thoughts on imagining a flickering ember of fire within her.
With each gentle exhale, she visualized the ember growing brighter and stronger, drawing upon her inner energy to feed it.
She could sense a subtle warmth spreading through her whole bodies, as if the ember were coming to life enveloping her completely. In that short moment, she felt a short connection to the magic within herself.
A spark that she never felt no matter how desperate she tried.
"I can feel it... It's small, but Im definitely could feel it"
Rose felt a surge of joy as she experienced the presence of mana within her. It was a moment of validation, a confirmation that she indeed possessed the innate ability to manipulate mana as her elven heritage. The sensation was exhilarating, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation as she realized the potential that lay within her, are finally opened.
"So this is mana... I could see it everywhere"
Rose envisioned a series of gentle winds enveloping her surroundings, harnessing the mana within her to bring them to life. With focused concentration, she began to condense mana into the air, molding it into the form of wind currents. As she imagined the gusts taking shape, a subtle breeze began to stir around her, caressing her skin with a gentle touch.
"Wind Breeze."
As mana infused the simple magic formula before Rose, the words "Wind Breeze" took form.
*Whoooshhh..
"This is the first magic my mother show me when I was a little kid.. I'm glad I'm finally able to casted it my self"
As Rose keep playing with her magic, suddenly a mysterious mark emerged on Rose's wrists, she found herself surprised at what she seeing right now.
She had never observed anything akin to it on her body before. The mark seemed to have a distinct tattoo-like quality, its intricate patterns and symbols adding to her bewilderment. Wonder and doubt mingled within her as she contemplated the significance of this unexpected occurrence.
"What is this symbol?" Rose muttered softly to herself, her voice tinged with a mixture of curiosity and concern. "I've never seen anything like it before from my bodies."
"It's weird, how I have something like this? It's just like my husband mark, but the pattern was entirely different"
"I didn't feel anything different though... "
Rose keep staring at the mysterious mark that suddenly emerged from nowhere with confused expression.
"Maybe it has any difference, maybe it has some kinda power.. I don't know"
Suddenly without any notice, igor his butler come out of nowhere " Your majesty... I have something to tell you about "
Rose was momentarily startled by the sudden arrival of Igor. She quickly regained her composure and turned her attention towards him. "Ah, Igor," she greeted him warmly. "What is it that you wished to inform me?"
"Viscount Albert are finally arrived, he was ready to meet your majesty"
"He's here? I'm glad... Now we can finally start our plans"
"Yes your right your majesty.. But must I inform you first regarding the wars that happening right now."
"The Darwin kingdom already in clashes with Sir Barbatos Armies, even though the scale was bigger than before, sir Barbatos said he could handle it."
"How much it's exactly? "
"6 platoons, with hundred of thousands armies"
"What!? "
"It's not that a full scale wars? "
"I'm afraid the answer is yes your majesty"
"How he can handle it!? Let alone talking about peace, those armies could trample our kingdom.. "
"Don't worry your majesty... Sir Barbatos could handle it with his giants armies, the Titans squad was also undefeated... Please don't worries about the front line for now"
"And also... The Axis Holy Empire was preparing to cross the snowy mountains, the arrival of their troops probably would take 2 weeks from now on. "
"What about the Majiid Empire igor? "
"I'm sorry Your Majesty... Majiid Empire Still Occupied the once Euresia Kingdom"
"I see..."
Hearing this Rose let out a soft sigh, her gaze fixed on the distant direction of her destroyed hometown. The gravity of the devastation weighed heavily on her heart, and the memories of the vibrant place she once called home flooded her mind.
In that moment, she felt a mix of anguish and contemplation, grieving the loss of what was familiar while reflecting on the possibilities that lay ahead.
The silence was broken by the gentle rustle of the wind—a subtle reminder of the power that she had recently discovered within herself, an untamed force that could shape the future in ways she could scarcely imagine.
Rose turned her attention back to Igor, her expression now filled with determination. "If I grow strong enough, like my husband was, could I end this war?" She ask the question with both conviction and hope in her voice.
She knew that the burden of the conflict rested heavily on her shoulders, and the weight of the responsibility was not lost on her. In that moment, she understood that her journey with mana was not just for personal growth but also for the greater good.
"A peace couldn't be achieved by powers alone, it will took strongest will, and also a patient as big as the sea... That, is what I thinking your majesty"
"Then... My husband ways was wrong?"
"I don't know, whatever the path your majesty go through, I Igor will follow until the end of my life"
" I see.. Thanks Igor, I might be weak, but I will be the one who stop this bloody wars"
"Yes... It's my pleasure your majesty"
"Please keep following me... Untill I achieve the true peace"
