A SILVER light envelops Alesteria's hands as she projected it and although it is small, it was still impossible for a baby to control that much.
Alesteria smiled.
'With this, this body is no longer weak.'
Alesteria's body took its sweet time to adjust to her soul's mana in order to avoid clashing against it since her soul's mana has a different wavelength than the one residing in the body.
The soul's mana, her original mana, was in a higher wavelength since she has been living around for thousands of years and it has accumulated all the experiences when using it, evolving even more.
On the other hand, the mana that was in the body is pure and clear with an almost transparent appearance to it.
The body is created new so its powers are also new.
The power in the body was trying to merge with her soul's mana, and since the old and new met each other, there may be side effects.
If worse comes to wo
'I KNEW I should've locked the door before doing anything else… This is truly bothersome.’ Alesteria was staring at Bella and the other knights, as well as a few bureaucrats, as if she were some sort of national treasure. "Is that true? The princess used her mana?" "Maybe you are seeing it wrong? Do you need glasses?" "Aren't you delusional?" The poor maid, who screamed at the top of her lungs earlier, is being drilled with numerous questions and insults by the officials that were abruptly summoned. Bella was concerned at this news, more so with the maid who looks like she is about to cry. 'It's not her fault that she was shocked but, how am I supposed to fix this?' Alesteria wanted to keep quiet about her power manifesting, at least by the age of 5. Nobles and commoners, in rare cases, manifest their power at 5 years old when their consciousness is stable and their re
THE SUN is shining brightly and the wind was so fresh that every deep breath feels anew, along with it is the morning dew that made the leaves look like glistening gems. Along with the peacefulness, there is also an unrest feeling covering the mountains. The mountains that were once a joyful place is now filled with grief and sorrow as the one and only resident and protector of the said place are gone. The atmosphere was so intense that the locals tend to stay away from it. They can't even go close since the fabled dragon will chase them away the moment they step into the mountains. They don't know what changed, but they were wise enough not to look into it. The said dragon, who guarded the entrance for nearly a year, is not far from the foot of the mountains, where most adventurers and lumberjacks alike approach the steep and dark mountains. The dragon was terrifying even at his size which is no larger than a regular adult cow, with glistening white scales and golden eyes that
THE MOMENT the emperor announced the forgoing of the youngest princess, Alesteria's receivance of her second name along with her formal introduction, the castle was immediately bustling with maids and knights alike.They were all busy, especially Bella and Tristan, since they want the best of the best for the princess.They arranged and adorned the whole grand hall into something that came out of a fairytale while the brothers, both Aldrich and Aimilios, are busy buying gifts for their little sister."What do you think Ales would like? This one or this one?"Aldrich is with Aimilios as he showed him two flower brooches that he had chosen.The first one is in a combination of the color purple and pink as the center has a jewel, the linings were in a color of gold. The second one is a white three-headed flower in a daffodil form with silver linings.Aimilios's eyes went back and forth on the brooches, then he eventually shrugg
EARLIER THAT day, Alesteria woke up from a very satisfying nap and was still groggy when Bella, who was busy for the past couple of days, immediately reached out to her and lifted her out of the crib."I'm sorry your highness, but today's schedule is packed and we can't delay it for another day." Bella said to her, apologizing for startling her.Everything happened in a flash and all Alesteria could remember is that Bella freshened her up and placed her in the rocker, a maid beside her telling her what to do."You should always keep your eye on the princess and don't let anybody just touch her casually. If they do touch her, make sure they washed their hands thoroughly for the princess' safety."The maid agreed and quickly jotted down Bella's directions in a notepad she was carrying, her attention entirely concentrated on the dos and don'ts.As she stared out the window that Bella had opened, Alesteria's mind strayed, unconcerned i
DAYS PASSED by like a blur and Alesteria is somewhat relieved that the day has finally come, the most awaited banquet for her introduction to the kingdom and her receivance. All the days where the people inside the palace worked hard for and prepared well. Alesteria haven't seen the grand hall where the banquet will take place but she knew that both Tristan and Bella did a good job in organizing everything. 'They were exhausted but kept pushing through. I'm proud of them.' She thought as her eyes landed on Bella, who is assisting the maids in preparing Alesteria's dress. The dress for this occasion was the one she wore when the emperor, Xerxes, entered the room days prior. They decided that it will fit the event more and was already a strong choice considering that all the other dresses seem to fail when in comparison to that. Also, this is the first time Alesteria saw her tiara. 'It looks good, probably to
'WHY IS he here? And he is dressed like a prophet no less?!'Alesteria was totally baffled at the sight of an old friend who disappeared before her, thinking that he had died after all those years passed, then seeing that friend standing in front of her acting like a prophet.'Of all things, a prophet is what he chose?! He doesn't even believe in anything!'In Alesteria's life as a witch, this friend of hers was called 'Kairo', and the reason why his name is that he has won numerous battles against his fellow dragons.He was reputed to have never lost a single fight in his whole existence, and he was always seeking confrontations against his kind.That's how she met Kairo, when he walked into the mountains to claim it as his own.Alesteria's former self was stronger than everyone else at the time, therefore she easily overcame Kairo.Kairo refused to accept the loss and returned to confront
SOON AFTER the receivance of Alesteria's second name 'Elsi', in which they have notarized the name on the spot with Kairo's authority, they then left to introduce her to the people waiting for her.And that is, this empire's citizens and nobles.Alesteria, on the other hand, was still sulking about her received name. Her head is still buried on Xerxes' chest as she glared at nothing in particular, a little anger rising in her little heart.'Of all the names that could've been given to me, it still chose that name.'Alesteria knew that the waters nor Kairo were not to blame for this rather strange occurrence, but how can she not blame her fate?'If it was another name, I would've accepted it. I never thought this possibility.'The name itself left a grave impression on her, that's why she chose to abandon it and tried to be nameless in her previous life while only using the title 'witch'.That name le
THE BANQUET hall began to be noisy as the band begins to play while the nobles interacted with themselves, chattering and praising each other for their appearance that day. The scene was comparable to those that were drawn in storybooks and fables, almost like a dream come true. However, the truth is that this banquet hall is a warzone for those nobles who will try to tear each other down for the sake of their well-being. It was all just a play that they did to make them look good about themselves. At least, that is what a certain boy think. The boy sighed in boredom as he sat in one of the chairs provided along with some of the food, placed in front of him. He wore a magnificent suit that made him stand out, anyone could tell that he is a noble with high prestige elegance, with his hair brushed neatly and his posture perfect, his grey-colored eyes boring at the food in distaste. He was practically the center o
