The skies of Amleth are now pitch dark, not only because of the night, but also because of the smoke that obscures our beautiful twin moons and countless stars. The soot travels on the wind, making the elderly cough and staining their clothes. The normally cold nights of Amleth are now warm. This is not because of the abnormal weather, although I hope it is because abnormal weather usually doesn't last long, but rather because of the lady who seems to be angry with me.
"That's how we managed to find out..." [Diana]
I recount our encounter with the weeping lady covered in the Devil King's Fire Mana. Various questions from various people, all aimed at me, with some telling me that I am the cause of it, and when that accusation is thrown out
"Would you mind repeating that?" [Nar]
"Tell me, would you rather die by suffocation or be buried alive?" [Sas]
"I don't mind getting my hands dirty, what else but a few more drops of blood from someone who will soon be forgotten" [Dana].
"Easy now, even though I completely agree with you, let's not start this work... Yet" [Khamisah]
"Sigh... You there, please see yourselves out" (For your own safety, that is) [Amleth]
That's all from me. I couldn't answer a single question, nor did I want to, as I'm too tired. Questions about what happened to the mothers we rescued are answered by Mr. Savel, while questions about the motives of the True Beastman group are answered by Mr. Elegast. Even Miss Eisheth is here to give us more insight into the whole situation.
For now, let's focus on the immediate danger posed by the Devil King's Fire Mana-clad lady. One saving grace is that she's literally walking, which means we have time to prepare for her.
The second problem is that some people are not happy that we Amlethians are helping in Salin. Again, Miss Eisheth and Miss Akela give us their insight on the matter. Again, I couldn't fathom the reason. I can't help but think that the reason they haven't accepted this culture is simply because they don't want to, at least that's what I understand from all the conversations.
When Aunt Amleth got all the information she needed, she dismissed this sudden meeting. Everyone who's here understands what needs to be done. Aunt Amleth will also address this issue tomorrow morning through the magical Motion Orb, so that the people of Amleth will know what's happening.
"Master, tell me straight, will water magic really work against the Devil King's fire?" [Amleth]
"That depends. If you're facing the big guy himself, the answer is simple: water magic is ineffective, but against something like what my dear sweetie just mentioned, I don't know" [Merlin].
"Well, you're a witch who fought the Devil King, surely you know a way or two" [Akela].
"Of course I do. I can just seal it away, but, I think, why did the lady clad with the devil king's fire mana in the first place? If we can address that, then we don't need to literally bombard her with water magic, nor do I need to seal the fire away" [Merlin].
Well, since the people who stay after the meeting know about THE THING, I just tell them that I can actually feel THE THING coming from the lady. This means that I can actually rid the lady of THE THING, but it seems to be really hard. Even harder than my battle with the false Hydra.
"Hmm... Maybe I should help you as well" [Tiara].
"Are you sure?" [Amleth]
"I am Your Highness, I am their so-called Chimera Princess, right? Besides, the wyvern troupe of the empire has also caught my attention. I'm not sure why they're here, but usually they're used for surveillance, but from what you've all described, it's like they're monitoring the situation" [Tiara].
"All I know is that I let them escape... Next time, I will rip off the wyvern's wing and capture them" [Dana].
"Easy Dana. That comes second. What is the point of capturing one or two peasants except to bargain for gold. If you capture them, they might just be a mouth to get free food, and speaking of food..." [Princess Siti]
"Alright! Alright! Before you start talking nonstop, I get it!" [Dana]
It's really hot tonight. What Nar Sas and I call air conditioning in our houses hasn't been installed in the castle yet. So while I listened to everyone talking to each other, I made the same breeze spell again. I am also tired because I yawn quite a lot.
"Are you okay, dear? You should go home and rest" [Amleth].
"I will... as soon as they are done talking..." [Diana]
"All right, don't force yourself. I'll be done soon" [Nar]
"We will go back home together" [Khamisah]
"Did you hear that? Now stop talking nonstop Siti" [Dana]
"Here, have a pillow" [Sas]
"How about using my lap as a pillow?" [Merlin]
"Thanks, but really, you need more time, right... So tired... Kara, Mara, can I sleep in your room instead? I'm so tired..." [Diana]
"A sleepover? That sounds fun" [Kara]
"I'm in! We haven't done it since... When was the last time we had one?" [Mara]
"Make sure you take a bath first, all three of you. I'll ask the cooks to prepare some light snacks and milk for the three of you" [Amleth]
"Thank you! I'm tired, but now I can't help but get excited! If only Marianne, Tio and Neloufa were here!" [Diana]
The three of us quickly make our way to the bedroom. I can tell that Kara and Mara are tired as well because they breathe a sigh of relief as soon as they arrive in the bedroom. The three of us just look at each other and quickly jump into the bed. Well, Mara and I did, while Kara just walked towards it instead.
"Kara, Mara... When you become queen, let's make sure that Amlethians can live carefree like Master Merlin does" [Diana].
"Diana, what's with the sudden talk, although what you mentioned is quite nice" [Kara].
"Everyone acting like Master Merlin, that will be fun. Still, did something happen?" [Mara]
"It's just... strange? I start to think, why are there people who hurt others at all? What's wrong with Mother wanting to help each other through Salin? Why is the lady covered in the Devil King's Fire Mana crying like she's lost her family? It's been on my mind all day" [Diana].
"This... Is quite heavy" [Mara].
"True, but I'm sure we'll figure it out together in the future. For now, just sleep" [Kara]
"Agreed!" [Diana, Mara]
It really didn't take us long to fall asleep. The night is hot, so, no blanket for us!
