Reincarnation Diana

26

The atmosphere here is very bad. Many people were injured by Aeternitas magic.

Claude and the others seemed troubled to withstand the attacks of Aeternitas.

My gaze fell on Athanasia who was being held by Lily.

I approached them and asked, "What happened to Athanasia?"

"Your highness empress?! The princess was severely injured and her injuries were difficult to heal," Lily replied.

I was surprised to hear Lily's words. As far as I was concerned, Athanasia was fine. Just a little blood vomit. "Athanasia's hurt?! How come?"

"I don't know either. When Mr. Erez brought the princess here, he said that the princess was wounded and asked us to treat her. But strangely the princess's injuries did not improve" Lily explained.

"I'll try to treat it. Put Athanasia to bed over there!" my orders.

Lily followed my words.

"Don't mind Athy" Athanasia said in a weak voice.

"How can you say that?!" my many.

"To-help father and others. They need more mothers than Athy" Athanasia replied.

"No. I'll treat you first. You just shut up!" I also started treating Athanasia. My healing magic worked on him but somehow it absorbed my mana more than it should.

"Stop Diana!" say someone.

"Don't bother me, Erez!" Yes the one who told me to stop earlier was Erez.

"Where will you be absorbed very much."

"It's okay, as long as Athanasia's wounds can heal. After all we also need Athanasia to heal Lucas."

"But that's just my estimate. There is no certainty that this is true" said Erez.

"It's okay, the important thing is we try it first. Now shut up Erez! You're disturbing my concentration."

"That's dangerous for you! You need a lot to fight Aeternitas."

"Believe me. I can do it." Erez gave up on persuading me.

Athanasia's wounds were completely healed. Due to using too much magic, my body went limp and I almost fell down but luckily Lily immediately held me back. "Your Majesty, are you okay?!"

"Yes, I'm fine" I replied.

Athanasia got up and hugged me. "Mother."

"Mom's fine, Athanasia. Now you help Lucas, right? Try to treat him."

Athanasia nodded. "Good, mom."

Athanasia tried to treat Lucas. I really hope that Athanasia can treat him. But I can't keep waiting. "Athanasia, you stay here okay? I have to help Dad and the others."

"But it's dangerous, your highness the empress," Lily said.

"Lily, it's my job. You stay here with the others!" my orders.

"I'm coming, Diana," said Erez.

"No, Erez. You stay here to protect Athanasia and Lucas. We don't know when Aeternitas changed its target again" I refused.

"Ta—"

"Nothing but but! Once Lucas is treated, take Athanasia and Lily to safety." After that I went straight to Claude and the others.

I approached Felix because he was the one who looked the most troubled for fighting those nobles. But why are the nobles fighting Felix?

"Felix," call me.

Felix was surprised to see me coming. "Your highness empress? What are you doing here?! Come back with the princess."

"I don't want to hear your stupid talk. This is why the nobles attacked you?"

"I don't know your noble consort but in my estimation it seems like they are controlled by black magic."

I'm clucking. "It's gonna be hard because we can't kill him."

"Rememperor, that is why now the former noble and noble are fighting against black magic."

"What about Penelope?"

"Mrs Penelope has been in a safe place with the maid and noble mistress who were not exposed to black magic."

"Mustahil, noble consort. They're too much for you to purify."

"We can't possibly continue to fight them here, Felix. Claude and Anas need all of you and will only waste time if we continue to fight these endless people."

"But the mu—"

"Listen to your noble consort, Felix!" the other knights.

"You don't understand! This could endanger the noble empress!" reply Felix angry.

"It is indeed his duty to protect us who are his followers" they replied.

"KALIAN—"

"Enough, Felix. What they say is true. It's my job to protect Obelia's loyal followers. Now you back off and move away!" The knights followed my orders.

I started purifying the nobles who were exposed to black magic. Slowly the nobles began to realize one by one until finally everything was detached from black magic.

"Now take these nobles to safety!" my orders.

Shit, I use too much mana. I said in my heart. I fell because I was too weak.

Felix with a worried look approached me. "Your Majesty, why are you?!"

"I'm fine, Felix. Don't overdo it like that."

"Let's go back to a safe place, your highness the empress," he asked.

I'm shaking. "No, Felix. I have to help Claude and Anas."

"I'll help them but now I'll take you to a safe place first."

"No! They're in danger. They're precious people, Felix."

"You are also the empress's highness. I can't let you get involved in anything dangerous any further."

"Even if I don't take action, it'll endanger everyone more. I can, Felix."

"But your honor per—"

"Trust me, Felix. I was just tired for a while but now I'm fine."

"Well, I'll protect you if anything dangerous happens."

"No, Felix. This isn't a fight for you."

"What do you mean? A knight must fight anywhere."

"But swordsmanship will be useless in this fight."

"You forgot your noble consort? I can also use magic."

Ah yes, I forgot that this Felix could be the magic equivalent of a tower witch.

"Okay, but please be careful."

"I should have said that to you, your highness empress."

"Umm noble empress," call the knights.

"What's wrong?"

"Then what about us?" ask them all.

"You go back to a safe place. Protect the nobles and others. Although I doubt Aeternitas will attack you but still protect them."

"But your highness..." They seemed hesitant to leave but they were also unable to join this fight as they all could not use magic.

"It's okay. You will also be of no use if you go there," I replied.

"Okay, your highness the empress." They bowed and left.

"Well, your speech is very cool, your highness the empress. Looks like you've changed" Felix praised.

"Is that so? Hahaha I cannot continue to be a weak empress. I have to be firm. But wasn't that just rough enough?"

Felix shook his head. "No. I will always support you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Felix. Let's go to Claude's and Anas's. I hope you can be useful because you're the one who forced you to come."

"Of course, your highness the empress." Felix and I rushed to where Claude and Anas were.
