Suited to Be a Queen

Elsa began sharing a portion of her mana with Gaia, and Rylie observed with satisfaction how skillfully their princess managed the mana transfer to her canine companion. Watching Elsa in action, Rylie couldn't help but admire her quick learning abilities and the large size of her mana pool. 'She's truly suited to be a queen,' Rylie reflected while keeping a close eye on Elsa and Gaia.

[I think I got what I needed. You can stop now,] Gaia said.

"How do you feel, Your Highness?" Rylie asked after Elsa.

"I feel ordinary except for a bit of fatigue like I've just run for a few minutes," Elsa responded.

'I knew it! Her mana pool is truly vast. Most mages would be extremely exhausted with the amount she gave,' Rylie thought. "That's a normal sensation. All you need is some rest, and you'll feel better again."

Gaia immediately began tracking Chris and his group, sniffing both the ground and vegetation in the surrounding area.
