Chapter 135
The forest surrounding the Magic Tower was vast and grand. At first glance, it may seem to only encompass the forest within the palace, but the perceived area was much larger.
Even in such a forest, there was a strange cave that did not match the refreshing atmosphere of the Magic Tower’s forest.
“…Hmm.”
The overgrown vines surrounded it like the cave’s hair. Despite the bright daylight, there was an eerie atmosphere near the cave, as if it were shrouded in dark fog.
Looking at the dark and gloomy space, Siervian swallowed dryly, feeling like bats might cling to her head.
“It’s quite dark, isn’t it?”
She glanced at her teacher, wondering if it was really safe. But all she saw was her teacher’s interested gaze focused on the cave.
This cave was a mysterious place that maximized the mage’s mana sensing ability.
The investigation revealed that the flow of mana was abnormally concentrated here, forming a sort of whirlpool.
‘It definitely feels tingly as we get closer.’
Normally, this area was under control. An inexperienced mage could even be swept away by the flow of mana if they made a mistake. After training enough to not be dragged away by the whirlpool, they would intentionally seek out this place.
In the midst of the massive flow of mana, they would realize the path they needed to take.
“Hehe, are you afraid, Princess?” The Tower Lord asked, as she stared intently at the entrance of the cave. For some reason, his laughter mixed with his voice made her feel strange.
“No, I’m not,” Siervian replied, trying to sound calm.
If she showed fear, everyone would try to protect her from whatever was to come. Especially her father, who had expressed great concern about her awakening this year. He might even cancel her awakening altogether.
“Oh, I see.” As she thought about her father, Siervian remembered something she needed to ask the Tower Lord.
‘Where’s Dad?’
Her father had not attended her awakening time today either. He used to show up many times in many places, but not anymore. But now, she understood why. He was probably afraid that he would burden her, like when she went to touch the orb of judgment.
“Please tell my father that I will be fine and not to worry.”
She put on her imperial princess demeanor and gave him mature regards. But the Tower Lord’s face turned somewhat strange upon hearing her message.
“Yes, of course. I will let him know.”
‘What’s going on?’ Puzzled, she glanced back at her master.
[Turana Ellison]
Thoughts: Hmm, he’s probably already hiding and watching us from nearby… Just supporting the Princess normally wouldn’t make her feel pressured. He can’t really tell, haha.
‘Huh?’
Surprisingly, it seemed that her father had chosen to secretly support her this time.
To avoid reflexively looking around, Siervian fixed her gaze on the cave.
[Turana Ellison]
Thoughts: He must have been worried that she might experience a scary awakening. Haha.
‘What?’
Her teacher’s thoughts she had seen while turning her head were better off not seen.
‘What if something really scary comes out!’
Although she had promised to go bravely, her confidence kept flagging. The scary awakening that Karmen deliberately didn’t discuss, she couldn’t even imagine what it would look like.
“I’ll– return.”
Siervian managed to stutter out the words and blindly stretched her legs forward, keeping her eyes tightly closed.
‘Let’s not delay any longer.’
With her father nearby, he might show up to stop her at any moment. It was scary, but she forced herself to move her legs and crossed the boundary of the cave.
But luckily, her body listened to her despite her age.
“Please come back safely.”
With her teacher’s farewell behind her, Siervian was engulfed in the darkness of the cave.
The darkness was much warmer than expected.
[Wake up!]
“Huh?”
Siervian had just entered the cave. But strangely, she felt refreshed as if she had taken a deep breath and woke up.
[Hurry up and wake up! Let’s play!]
The sound of children laughing loudly echoed near her body.
It could have been quite scary, but she felt a comfortable tingling in her lungs.
She felt extremely excited.
“Yes, let’s play!”
Without any hesitation, she flew up. The bright surroundings were completely white, as if her eyes were blinded. She felt like she had seen this scene somewhere before, and as she was thinking, the children around her cheered again.
“Higher!”
Hearing that urging, she felt excited again. She only wanted to go higher and higher.
“Yes, higher!”
When she agreed, the children burst into laughter again. It felt like they were even more excited than her, to the point where their lungs might burst.
“It’s so freeing.”
She flew higher and faster than any of her friends.
Only when she reached the point where the far horizon was curved downward, she realized.
She had become a snowstorm herself, flying around.
And she had flown so high that it couldn’t even be called a snowstorm.
‘This is my awakening time.’
As she thought about her dream, she understood what was happening. She had come to the cave for her awakening time and was currently awakening.
Being in a high place didn’t scare her. It was just interesting.
The way each person experienced their awakening was different, and for her, it was like this, flying higher than anyone else.
“It’s fun, it’s fun!”
“Yeah, it’s fun!”
Her friends shouted in excitement. And in response, she also gave them a bright smile.
Feeling the mana flowing through her body, she flew into the endless sky.
Who would have thought that the dark cave would be this exciting.
“Let’s go together!”
“Yes, let’s go together!”
“Hurry up and come!”
In the end, she flew up alone, leaving her friends behind.
Higher and faster than anyone else.
She became the leader of the giant snowstorm and suddenly worried about her friends. One of her friends followed her but stumbled.
[Oh no.]
[Are you okay?]
Siervian quickly returned and carefully supported her friend.
“Come on. Don’t get hurt.”
Her friend, who looked like a snowflake, faintly lit up following her gesture. Then the friend laughed as she quickly regained her strength.
[It’s okay now!]
[Thank goodness. Let’s go!]
[Yes! Let’s play!]
Although they were still a little slow, her friends did not lose their unique cheerfulness. Siervian, unlike before, looked back at the sky from time to time and soared upward.
Suddenly, the horizon was curved and half round.
“Huh? What is that?”
And something huge caught her eye from the place she had left.
It was not a mountain, and not a storm.
“Is that a person…?”
Her head tilted to the side.
If they can be seen from this height, how big are they…?
[That’s enough.]
[See you again.]
[See you soon!]
However, before she could organize her thoughts, her friends surrounded her. As if trying to keep her from looking down at the ‘something’ below. Although they were a little slow, her friends had followed her to the height she was at to say goodbye.
“Yes. See you soon.”
Her vision turned white again.
With a strange conviction, Siervian thanked them. She didn’t even question their behavior of not letting her see down below.
Without saying anything, she just smiled and nodded.
“I feel refreshed.”
Then, when she blinked, she heard a low voice in her ear.
“Siervy, are you awake?”
“Dad…?”
Siervian looked at his eyes with a dazed face.
Her body felt too heavy, unlike when she was the storm itself.
And somehow, it felt like she was moving her eyelids for the first time in a long time.
“Hmm, Dad?”
It wasn’t until she yawned peacefully that she realized something was strange. She was still in the cave. But the bed that she was sitting in was a huge bed that didn’t fit in this cave.
“Yes, did you have a good dream?”
And her father’s face, a little pale, came into view.
“Siervy.”
“Oh, Dad?”
Looking to the side, she saw her father, Karmen, and the Tower Lord all looking at her with relieved faces.
Siervian was dazed as she looked at the bed that didn’t fit with the place and looked at it again.
‘Wait, the flow of mana…?’
Then, her father explained the situation.
“Siervian, you slept for three days.”
Surprised by the sudden news, Siervian opened her eyes wide.
“Really, I was so worried. Are you really not hurt anywhere, Your Highness?”
“Try this too. It’s been three days you haven’t eaten, so how about this?”
After the time of awakening, a day passed. Ellie seemed to be trying to fill up the three days’ worth of food that Siervian had not eaten.
Jane, who would usually try to calm down Ellie’s excessive behavior, seemed too busy checking her temperature every ten minutes to do so.
“Has it really been three days?”
She was still in shock.
It had only been a few minutes since she flew ino the sky in excitement.
“Your Highness, why are you so out of it? You’re not really sick, are you?”
“Don’t you have an appetite? Huh, Your Highness. You’ve only eaten three meringue cookies…!”
“I’m fine. Everyone, don’t worry so much.”
Even though she ate three snacks in a row, Ellie said her appetite seemed to have disappeared, and her eyes turned red.
Jane nervously took out the spare snacks she had taken from the palace and laid them out one by one.
If she kept eating too much medicine or snacks, she felt like she might get an upset stomach. So she nodded confidently.
“I’m fine. Really. I was just lost in thought for a moment, thinking about what happened during the time of awakening.”
When she mentioned the time of awakening, the maids looked at her again.
It seemed like there was something that was really bothering them.
