"What kind of luck is that? She got one of the rarest Elements that you can get. Hey, Yuki! Isn't your daughter too strong?" King Dagart shouted at Yuki.
"No, she cannot control it well. You have already experienced it when you slapped me one time. Didn't you feel that something weird happened after that?" Yuki brings back a memory of King Dagart that he doesn't want to remember anymore. But, now that Yuki said that, he begins to remember what happened on that day.
"Now that you mention it, you're right. That's why I found it odd that you somehow got better instantly." King Dagart said to Yuki.
"Yeah, I even remember what Aika said about you. I only wished for that man to stop hurting you." Yuki said the exact words that Aika said to her.
"Hahaha- well, let's forget about that. Now I understood why you wanted to keep her hidden, with an ability like that. People with bad intentions would go for her." King Dagart held his chin and began to think what would happen if the news of Aika's time manipulation went out, things would be a disaster, as there could be a constant war that's going to happen to kidnap Aika.
"If that ever happens, then I will make that person go to the deepest part of hell." Yuki smiled as she said that, but for all of them her smile was bone-shivering.
"Hahaha, is that so? Well, let's hope that something like that doesn't happen." King Dagart laughed awkwardly.
Then suddenly a burst of power came out of Aika's body, and some of the weak Guards that were in the garden immediately were put on their knees. The power that was coming out of Aika's body was too much for them to take.
"This power is much more powerful than I had thought." Yuki released her bloodlust and countered the aura that Aika was releasing. Soon their powers began to clash but in front of Yuki's extremely strong bloodlust. Aika's aura was nothing, and Yuki successfully blocked it.
"Something is wrong. I thought that this process would be painful. But, why is she not having any reaction from it?" Yuki thought, she began to think of various ways on how Aika couldn't feel anything.
Ding!
[Looks like Aika has the protection of the Fairy Saintess, so the pain completely vanished. But, if the Fairy Saintess were not here. There is a pretty high chance that Aika would collapse now.] Fubuki explained to Yuki, and after she heard all of it she sighed in relief that Aika doesn't need to worry about the pain.
"Looks like her Fairy Mother still protects her. Thank goodness." Yuki sighed out, now there is nothing to worry about Aika's awakening anymore.
"What do you mean by that Yuki?" Anna asked her.
"Looks like the Fairy Mother makes Aika not able to feel pain in this situation. This made me feel at ease, now I'm really curious to see her. Since Aika also said it herself, that woman loves me fufufu." Yuki chuckled, but she didn't feel the stare that Anna was giving her from behind.
Feeling the danger that Yuki might be taken away, Anna decided to be bold and held Yuki's hands, with the excuse that she is affected by Aika's power. Yuki easily believed it and just let Anna do what she wanted, but she was not ready for what Anna did. She suddenly hugged her and placed her head in Yuki's chest, feeling her breath on her chest every time she breathed, making Yuki's face red.
But, Yuki managed to control herself and not show any emotion on her face. She also used blood manipulation to control her heartbeat. This made Anna feel sad, she thought that Yuki was not giving any reaction to her.
Meanwhile, those that were watching were stunned at the scene that they saw, the two look like a couple from a far away.
"Are they always this close?" Lian asked Yumie and Katsumi. But, both of them were also confused on the matter.
"We don't know. This is the first time I saw Mother being close to someone other than us her daughters." Yumie and Katsumi answered Lian's question with uncertainty in their voice.
"Looks like you're progressing much better than I thought, you managed to pierce my daughter's, cold heart." Serene's voice resonated inside Anna's head, she decided to talk to her for a bit after seeing her dispirited look even after hugging Yuki.
"Who are you? No, wait. Are you Yuki's mother?" Anna remembered who the voice belongs to, so she asked Serene just to be sure.
"Ahh. I'm glad that you remember me, daughter-in-law." Serene chuckled.
"Daughter-in-law!?" Anna screamed in her mind after she heard how Serene addressed her.
"You're going to deny it? But, didn't you already kiss her?"
"KISS!? YOU SAW THAT!?" Anna screams internally, she couldn't believe that Serene saw what she did to Yuki.
"Yes, I did."
"Then does that mean, you saw how Yuki avoided me right? She pushed me away after the kiss, I think that I don't have any chance of getting her." Anna sighed silently.
"No, you did. It was quite fun seeing that kind of look on her face. Yuki is just an expert at hiding her emotions, like what she is doing now. She is using her Blood Manipulation to control her heartbeat." Serene explained to Anna.
"Really?"
"Yes, if you don't trust me then do what I say." Serene smiled mischievously.
Anna then followed Serene's words, she lets go of Yuki and walked away saying that she wants to take a breather alone. When she was finally alone, a recording stone suddenly appeared in front of her.
"You can watch this, and decide for yourself if your actions didn't make an impact on her," Serene said, then with that, she no longer talked to Anna.
Anna then held the stone in her palms, and she watched nervously. The first scene she saw was when she kissed Yuki, then after she pushed her. Anna could see what happened to Yuki, she was so happy and shocked to see Yuki's reaction.
"Is she blushing?"
"Yes. The problem is that she doesn't know what kind of emotion she is feeling. It was quite funny to hear that Yuki thought that she was scared or tired." Serene laughed.
"Why?"
"Well, you have probably already heard her story right? She doesn't know that kind of feeling, the only love that she knows is what a family gives." Serene sighed.
"Wow, I never knew that."
"Yes, so don't let this get you down. She is hiding her true self because she doesn't want to get hurt again." Serene explained to her.
"Okay, I understand."
"Alright, good luck to you then!"
