The Immortal Rose And Louis Bonaparte’s Challenge

When we were on the way, Blanche suddenly said something interesting.

"If you have the time, I'd love to study your mana!" she said.

"I'll do you one better," I replied as I clasped my hands together and compacted my mana to an extreme.

Within seconds, a full 15% of my mana was spent and I opened my hands to reveal a rose of pure mana.

"Voila, madame!"

"Woah, a flower..?! " her expression reddened ever so slightly as she picked it up.

"Don't mind the shape so much, it'll last for a week or two, so you can use it for research without worry and if it does start fading, just bring it back to me and I'll charge it up," I explained slowly with a smile.

Her expression changed several times before settling on a smile as she put away the rose.

"Thank you, Cassian." She said gently.

"Don't mention it."
