"It's been one week, even the others have already returned to the palace before returning to Dragonia Academy. Is the girl unconscious?" Legarion asked Lasius who was standing next to him.
Lasius nodded, "Not yet. Iloania once said that she can heal her powers by sleeping. It seems that moving one's own soul into another body takes up a lot of magic energy."
"Move the soul, huh?" Legarion muttered, before nodding his head.
"It was indeed an ancient magic that drained so much energy. I read it in a book. Then, what about Princess Kitsune?" Ask Legarion.
Lasius answered Legarion's question, "He's been awake for the past two days. With the help of the other foxes, he was able to heal faster. But the Kitsune Princess said she would leave after Iloania woke up."
Legarion nodded her head, "I understand."
"But, about the girl .. What do you think, Sius?" Ask Legarion to Lasius.
Lasius replied emphatically, "The best thing a traitor can get is death without torture."
"Let me look for her." Further.
Legarion shook his head, "This mission I won't give you. Zalion will look for him .. Miaka Lisita, and capture her alive."
On the other hand, Princess Kitsune sat beside Iloania. Iloania lay in a large bed in one of the rooms in the palace, covered in a golden blanket with comfortable silk pillows. Look at it with a pair of red beads. There was a reason why he had not left even though his wound had already almost recovered. There was something he wanted to ask Iloania directly, about something that stuck in her mind and mind. It's a pity indeed, that for the last two days the girl who had helped him this hasn't even woken up yet.
...***...
"Ilania."
"Ilania ... Iloania,"
A faint voice sounded in the void space. His eyelids opened, displaying a pair of golden beads that gleamed amidst the scanty light. It was Iloania, looking around with a glimmer of curiosity and a speck of confusion inside.
"Where am I?" Mumbled.
He touches his ring and tries to call out to Vleia. "Vleia, where am I?"
After calling, the interval of two seconds Iloania never got a reply from Iloania. Iloania scrunched her forehead and tried to call back Vleia.
"Vleia?"
Not only was she unable to communicate, Iloania realized that she could no longer use her magic either. Iloania stood up, and finally focused her focus on the darkness, so that she could faintly see that she was inside a cave with faint dark rocks giving off an aura of heat.
Vigilating her surroundings, Iloania heard a faint voice that made her wake up.
"Ilania ... Iloania."
The deg!
Stunned, Iloania was able to confirm that although the voice was faint, it was the voice of the teacher! Iloania will never misunderstand the voice. Relying on his instinct and hearing, Iloania down the hall that was getting hotter. He rubbed his sweat, and did not stop moving his feet on the dark dirt road.
"It's from here." He muttered while looking at the gap in front of him.
Forcing her body through the gap, within a second of landing her foot through the gap, the coldness that was able to make shiver made Iloania involuntarily frown. Moreover, there was a faint hint of light, so that he could clearly see that there was a gigantic abyss in front of him.
"Iloania," the voice faintly called out for the last time.
Because when Iloania looked up, widened her eyes to see something, Iloania also realized in the original world.
"Well!" His touch was shocked on his bed, and also made Princess Kitsune surprised.
"imm? Where's me?" Ask Iloania.
Princess Kitsune let Iloania take a sitting position and replied, "In Alete's Palace. The young man said you slept on the way. And you've been sleeping for seven days."
Iloania nodded her head. Soul Exchanger Magic, was something that supposedly said his teacher was created by one of the gods. His teacher got one of the few scattered scrolls imprisoned in the world, in a dangerous place that has taken the lives of many great witches. Fortunately, his teacher said he had some minor injuries and managed to get the scroll.
Iloania read it after her teacher allowed her, and while training her, she fell asleep for three months because her body and magic were still so small.
Iloania looked slightly confused, "If I sleep that long. Then what I saw was a dream?"
"Hey, I have something to tell you."
Princess Kitsune's voice made Iloania wake up from her daydream, "Yes?"
Princess Kitsune lowered her head, "To have exchanged bodies and saved me, I am very grateful to you."
"Mm, no big deal. As fellow living beings, we are obliged to help each other." Reply Iloania with a smile.
Princess Kitsune raised her head and asked, "And sorry. I want to ask you something."
"What's that?" Ask Iloania.
...***...
That very day, after getting an answer from Iloania, Princess Kitsune left Alete Palace with her bold farewell sentence.
"My name is Sefora Knoxel, the Single Princess of the Snow Fox Tribe. If someday you need my help, just come to our forest, me and my people will help without hesitation, in return for us." He said then leave.
Iloania looked at the little fox wearing a blue jewel necklace and muttered, "Sephora. A bold name."
Iloania turned her head and smiled brightly at Lasius, "Rightly sister?"
"Yes," Lasius replied in a soft tone.
He could finally see this sunnier smile again after a week had passed. Let's just say that Lasius is overrated, but it feels like he's more and more lonely than usual when Iloania isn't around. When he did not see her smile, his feelings became very strange.
Iloania brought back her smile.
"Why have you been asleep for so long?" Ask Lasius.
Iloania replied, "Vleia uses too much magic. So, I'm exhausted and need a little time to recover my energy."
Iloania continued with her laugh, "I've even slept longer~"
"Silver Sius knew I slept in a tree for three days because I was sleepy. Fortunately for three days it didn't rain." Iloania
"I miss you."
Iloania stopped her light babbling as soon as she heard the words of Lasius. Iloania slightly lowered her head, leaving her face hidden from the clingy Lasius looking at her. Lasius wondered whether he was overdoing it and or saying the wrong words. However, two seconds thinking that, Lasius quickly flipped his palm revealing a bright smile.
There, Iloania's face flushed to the base of her neck. That kind of Iloania looked so cute and adorable in her eyes.
"Are you ashamed?" Ask Lasius.
Iloania straightened her back and shook her head while holding her breath, with slightly thinning lips and small bulging cheeks. "I'm not ashamed."
"Then why is your face flushed?"
Iloania flicked her hand, "It's very hot~ Look, the sun is very hot."
Lasius smiled and slightly chuckled. Her cold face subsided, adorned with a charming softness and light. The flushed face of Iloania faded, replaced by a dazzling look at the perfect god sculpture in front of her. Iloania published her smile and said without hesitation.
"Silver Sius if smiling is very handsome! I like it~" he said.
There was silence for two seconds. The two of them looked at each other after Lasius' smile froze, looked at each other and finally blushed and turned their faces away with colorful smiles.
...***...
"Hey, where's Miaka?" Jissiana asked after they all returned to Dragonia Academy.
Iloania who was sitting in front of them replied with a smile, "Sister Lean said that while looking for a star stone, Miaka got a call from her family. So, Lean's sister said Miaka went home to her hometown."
"really? Why so suddenly, huh? Is that something bad?" Ask Jissiana.
Iloania shook her head, "It seems to say about a mandatory celebration for every resident of her town."
Jissiana nodded in relief, "Thank God if it's not something bad. By the way, the Lantern Festival will be held soon. Ilo, let's buy a dress together. Since Miaka may not have had the time to buy, let's buy her too."
"Lane, Kane. Want to come along too?" Ask Jissiana.
Lane and Kane looked at each other and nodded their heads, "Can. We'll go buy dresses too."
Jissiana clenched her hands excitedly, "Alright! Dress hunt, we start tomorrow night!"
Iloania smiled, until when the others did not see her, Iloania slowly lowered the curvature of her lips. He's back to lying.
