Chapter 11

In the morning, the Argaint Kingdom castle people seemed busier than usual. Because today the first Princess of the Argaint Kingdom has her 15th birthday. In addition, the King and Queen will also return from their visits to other Kingdoms.

The guards, the servants were busy preparing a birthday party for Princess Aishia. They planned to have a big party in the evening. The nobles, as well as guests from other Kingdoms, were also invited. But the main character in the party was locking herself in her room.

"Happy birthday, Sis! Why did you lock yourself in your room! I brought guests for you!" Princess Elise entered Princess Aishia's room without knocking first.

"Good morning, Aishia. How are you today? Did I disturb your rest?" The beautiful golden-haired girl greeted Princess Aishia from behind Princess Elise. That girl is Princess Freya.

"Long time no see, Princess Aishia." The girl who came with Princess Freya was the guardian knight, Aryana Bolevan.

Today Princess Freya wore a green dress that contrasted her hair color and made it stand out. Meanwhile, Aryana Bolevan is Princess Freya's guardian knight. She has dark gold hair in a ponytail. She was wearing elegant gold-colored armor that showed off her curves.

At first glance, Princess Freya was shocked after seeing Princess Aishia. She could see the puffy eyes on her friend's face. In addition, Princess Aishia also has eye bags under her eyes. Princess Freya quickly realized that Princess Aishia had been crying for quite a while. But that wasn't the only thing that surprised her. Another thing that surprised her was that she could sense the mana around Princess Aishia was very stable. Princess Aishia was like a different person from her during the servant selection event.

Princess Freya also knew that Princess Aishia was suffering from a particular disease that even the Royal Mage couldn't cure. Sometimes she is also worried as her childhood friend.

"Elise, Freya, and also Aryana. When did you arrive?" Princess Aishia was surprised by Princess Freya's sudden appearance.

"I just arrived. After arriving in the Argaint Kingdom, I want to meet you immediately. By chance, I met Elise, and we came here together. Besides, why are you just locking yourself in your room? The main star of this event should see the party that will be held for your birthday tonight." Princess Freya laughed teasingly at Princess Aishia.

"I'm a little tired and want to rest in the room." Princess Aishia smiled weakly in response to Princess Freya's question. But her eyes scanned around the room like she was looking for someone.

"What are you looking for, sis?" Princess Elise tilted her head in confusion.

"Nothing. I didn't see Siesta and Ziel. Where are they?" Princess Aishia was curious because she didn't see Siesta either.

"Ah, Ziel accompanied Siesta to the city center to see your birthday festival." Princess Elise had just remembered that Ziel had asked her permission to accompany Siesta.

"What!?" Princess Aishia felt a pain in her chest after hearing Princess Elise's words.

Princess Aishia didn't know why she felt such pain. But it was something new to her and felt different from the pain she had ever felt.

"Are you okay, Aishia?" Princess Freya asked worriedly after seeing the expression on Princess Aishia's face.

"I'm fine. Like I said before, I'm just a little tired." Princess Aishia shook her head and kept suppressing the pain in her chest. Princess Freya was confused by her sudden change of state.

"Please take care of your health, Aishia." Princess Freya still looks worried about Princess Aishia's condition.

"Yes. Thank you, Freya." Princess Aishia smiled weakly in response.

"You don't need to thank me because we were childhood friends. I heard from Elise that your illness is cured. Is that true?" Princess Freya tried to change the topic of their conversation.

"That's true. Even though I haven't fully recovered yet, it won't take much time until I'm completely healed." Princess Aishia explained her condition to Princess Freya.

"Thank God. But how did you suddenly recover? Even Elise said she didn't know anything." Princess Freya looks happy about her childhood friend's recovery.

"That's right! You don't even want to be honest with me, Sis!" Princess Elise entered into their conversation.

Princess Aishia couldn't help but smile seeing her younger sister and childhood friend questioning her. She subconsciously rubbed the bracelet she was wearing then gave a vague answer.

"I don't know. My condition suddenly improved after using magic last time." Princess Aishia tries to obscure the truth.

"Is that so?" Princess Freya couldn't believe what Princess Aishia said.

"Yes." Princess Aishia turned her face away from Princess Freya.

Princess Freya doubted still doubted Princess Aishia's words. Previously she saw Princess Aishia rubbing the bracelet on her right wrist, and she was curious about the bracelet. Princess Freya had never seen Princess Aishia wearing that thing before.

"Is that a new bracelet, Aishia?" Princess Freya finally asked out of curiosity.

"This is my birthday present." Princess Aishia answered honestly.

"Did you get a birthday present, Sis? From whom? Even though I intended to be the first to give you a present and congratulate you on your birthday." Princess Elise looked disappointed.

"Don't worry. You're still number one for me." Princess Aishia stroked Princess Elise's head gently.

Princess Elise smiled widely as she closed her eyes. She felt happy being pampered by her sister like that. But Princess Freya was even more curious about Princess Aishia's bracelet because she could feel an extraordinary power within it.

"Can I see your bracelet, Aishia?" Princess Freya asked seriously.

"Of course." Princess Aishia stretched out her right hand so that Princess Freya could see the bracelet she was wearing.

"Hmm... Aishia, can you take the bracelet off?" Princess Freya became even more curious after seeing the bracelet.

"Sorry, I can not." Princess Aishia flatly refused.

Usually, Princess Aishia was the obedient girl in front of her. But this time, Princess Aishia firmly refused her request.

"May I know why?" Princess Freya asked in confusion and still hadn't recovered from her shock.

"Because this is a gift from someone significant to me." Princess Aishia answered with a smile like a blooming flower.

Princess Freya couldn't help but be surprised at her answer. Not only him but Princess Elise also felt the same way. Princess Freya tried to guess who the person Princess Aishia was referring to. But she quickly put that thought aside for the time being. She focused on examining the bracelet on Princess Aishia's wrist. After she touched it, her body trembled. Princess Freya could feel the immense power of the bracelet.

"Aishia, do you know what this is?" Princess Freya asked with a serious face.

"Sure, it's a bracelet." Princess Aishia answered flatly. She subconsciously did the same thing that Ziel did to her.

"That is not what I mean!" Princess Freya shouted at Princess Aishia's answer.

"Hahaha…" Princess Aishia couldn't help but laugh at her childhood friend's reaction.

Princess Freya noticed that everyone was staring at her. The calm and graceful Princess Freya rarely shouted like that. Even Aryana, Princess Freya's guardian knight, was dumbfounded. Princess Freya quickly tried to calm herself down.

"Cough... I mean, did you know that this is an artifact?" Princess Freya quickly corrected her sentence and dropped the bomb.

Everyone in the room except Princess Aishia was dumbfounded. Because artifacts are priceless and scarce items, you can't necessarily buy them even if you have money. Until now the number of known artifacts on the Clorius continent is no more than 20 pieces. One of them belonged to the king of the Argaint Kingdom. This shows that the artifact is a priceless item.
