Agalea carried Alea towards Jasmine while hugging her tight in her embrace, as if afraid Alea would run away and do something weird again.
Alea, having a smile on her face, replied, “There were cute fishes in the lake. I wanted to play with them.”
“Okay, nevermind. Let’s go home. We’ll talk there.” Agalea said and took Alea away after dressing her up.
While talking to Jasmine, she realized that the times Alea got herself killed was when she was out adventuring.
She was a Half King and didn’t feel too hot until she was at the very core of it, eventually falling into and resurrecting back in the castle.
Third time was when Alea realized she was too far from home and couldn’t find her way back. She was lost and the best solution she came up with to get back to the castle was through the resurrection phylactery.
Listening to all of this made Agalea knit her brows and frown. She was angry because her daughter was killed but then… she was really confused about where she should channel her anger.
Agalea, sitting in her office, asked Jasmine to bring all of the files regarding Alea.
Agalea rubbed her temples as she felt a headache due to it.
“Jasmine, how did she even manage to sneak past the guards in the first place? Aren’t the guards Kings and Emperors?”
Jasmine shook her head and said, “I do not know, Your Majesty. It remains a mystery. I have checked through magic and surveillance but there was no trace of Her Highness appearing in any of them.”
“I mean… Your Majesty, Princess knows that there’s no risk involved even if she’s killed. So I am assuming she adventures freely.” Jasmine put out her thoughts.
Jasmine nodded and replied, “That’s right. What’s also important to know is that Her Highness has never gone out of the Elven Continent in her whole life, except for the time when she was in the academy.”
A minute later, Agalea realized that Jasmine was right. Alea had indeed never gone out.
“It seems I am a bad mother, ain’t I? I don’t even look after my child properly?”
Agalea’s sad expression was getting slightly better as she heard this. She then asked, “If spending time isn’t the problem, then what would be?”
“Of course. How can I forget any of the time I spent with my little Alea.” Agalea nodded and said with a smile.
Agalea nodded. “She has been slacking ever since. She could very well be a King Rank by now, but if she keeps going at the pace she is going, she’ll probably be no different than the average people of the world and become a King at the age of 2,000 years old.”
“…”
This advice of Jasmine was as good as Alea sneaking past the guards and adventuring.
“…” This time Jasmine was speechless as she was taken aback by the sudden weird question. But she cleared her throat, realizing her advice may have come as too stupid, and replied,
She then made her butt face Agalea and waited to get punished.
“Uhh… no?” Jasmine answered.
Agalea, Lucifer, and Mayzin from that time knew how Luna was and although it would’ve been really embarrassing, the maso Luna only ended up enjoying herself instead of getting embarrassed.
Jasmine cleared her throat and, trying to change the topic, said, “Speaking of her, I have a letter from her. See this, Your Majesty.”
“Hmm?” Agalea’s interest piqued as she saw a fine looking scroll.
Agalea read it fully and checking the signature at the end, it definitely belonged to her big sister Lilith.
“Why is that, Your Majesty?”
“What!?” Jasmine was genuinely shocked now. Things had apparently happened too fast and it wasn’t easy to digest such information.
“R-right away.” Jasmine, although shocked, hurried knowing the gravity of the situation and left Agalea’s office.
