CHAPTER 19

"Ae!" she whispered, before finally closing her eyes, and open lips even wider. The softness that hit, as well as the pounding of the heart that pumped the circulation of blood, blasted it to all the nerve endings, shaking all the dead feelings.

Prince Aerus embraced her and snatched her cavity repeatedly as if wanting to swallow her whole in love.

Everything was getting more intense, getting out of control. Mirah energy which had been asleep for tens of thousands of years had finally almost awakened.

Like electric shocks whipping from all directions, like painful torments lumping together at one point.

He groaned until he finally woke up and came to his senses. He quickly pushed her away, using too much energy. It wasn't an ordinary push, but almost like an attack.

Prince Aerus only wanted to protect himself, wanted to awaken his sanity. 'She's not Lia. She is not your wife! Wake up, Aerus!' he cursed repeatedly, with both hands still stretched forward, causing Lia to be thrown very far, dragged until she hit the wall.

Explosions sounded everywhere, in the sky, on the ground, and everywhere.

Blood flowed at the corner of Lia's mouth, along with Megalack who expended enormous energy to protect her, to ward off the power that had been blown away by Prince Aerus.

The two violent clashing energies finally shook the ground, cracking the protective shield around Hexa down to the last layer, an extremely impenetrable layer.

It happened very briefly, but it was very painful. Many of the Elfagos coughed up blood from being exposed to the explosion of the two terrible energies. Some babies even dying, causing a lot of riots.

Because of it, Prince Aerus cursed. His hand pointed firmly at Lia, "Get out of here! I don't have time to respond to your bullshit! You have caused a disaster, you have broken the rules! Go or I will kill you here!"

Prince Aerus left Lia, shortly after the screams of the servants were heard by him. He had to do a lot of work until the effects of the energy explosion could be overcome. But unfortunately, he never checked on Hexa's atmospheric layer, he didn't have time to check whether there were surveillance ships in the form of planets and celestial rocks that were currently spying on them.

Gripping her chest very tightly, Lia collapsed and coughed. She listened to the whisper in her head, which came from Megalack, "Go home now! We can only restore energy if we meditate in the crater. We don't have much time."

With that pain, she finally said goodbye to Hexodar. No one tried to prevent her left because the chaos was already everywhere. After returning Prince Bealdric, they immediately returned to Centraxus.

Queen Renoa greeted them anxiously. While carrying Lia, she asked the elder dragons to open the energy in the crater even more.

Now Lia was in the middle of the crater, completely covered by a very thick fog. But she could still hear her mother's voice, "We will take care of you, Lily! Just meditate as if you were reborn. Only then can you get out of this crater!"

Without answering, Lia closed her eyes and started to meditate.

…

One hundred days based on earth time? Or maybe almost three years? Yeah, that's what Lia needs to meditate on. Since the energy clash was too great, she took longer to recover. Moreover, her condition was exacerbated by depression due to her husband's refusal.

Megalack repeatedly assured her that this problem will be solved. The romance between two young people will be able to go well as long as they remain patient. Even though it didn't solve the problem, at least Lia felt better.

Finally, her body soared through the air, with a dragon-shaped shadow. She had already landed on the rim of the crater, feeling her body refreshed as if she had been reborn.

Several maids and guards froze, then immediately disappeared to report the matter to Queen Renoa.

The queen appeared, darted to hug her daughter, and led her to her room to rest.

But this time Lia refused. "Mother, I have abandoned my responsibilities for a long time. Moreover, I did it after I followed my personal matter. I'm really fine. So let me get back to work!"

Despite her doubts, Queen Renoa finally agreed with Lia's request. As she ushered her daughter into the study, she pondered, looking hesitant to say anything.

There was no suspicion in Lia's heart or mixed predictions. Until then the door to her workroom opened, which already revealed a variety of activities. And there she saw a new member.

Turning quickly, Lia's brows furrowed at her mother, as if asking and protesting at the same time. "Mother?"

"You've been meditating too long, Lily. And a lot of work I couldn't finish, even with your father. Therefore, we are looking for an assistant to help us. And now she will be your assistant."

"I don't want it! I don't want an assistant, Mother. I…" But suddenly Lia's voice choked, sinking in her throat when she saw her new assistant's face. Yeah, she knows her very well, even more than anyone. "Cindy?" squeaked Lia, confused but happy at the same time.
