The Neglected Princess

24. Assistance

Deon stood leaning against a shady tree. He was waiting for someone to come. Not long after, the person he was waiting for came and greeted him.

"Deon," call the person near Deon.

"Arron .. "greet Deon.

Arron let out a long sigh, "Hahhhh .. sorry, I was late. I've been doing a lot of work lately. Moreover I will guard the port. His Majesty asked me to immediately settle the affairs of the palace so that when I left there was no problem" Arron said.

"When did you go?" deon looked at Arron.

"Hm, from what I heard at the end of this month. Oh, ja. This ... (give me a scroll on Deon) I signed this document and I gave it a stamp. Speaking of construction, who would want to build a building called 'Hotel' that? Why did you just write the initials?" ask Arron.

"It's Ivy. He asked me to write his initials, O. H." replied Deon.

"Ivy?" mumbling Arron.

Hearing Ivy's name, Arron remembers Ivy, the beautiful woman of his savior. Deon looked at the silent, dreamy Arron.

"Hey, you got a problem?"  Ask Deon.

"Ah, there is no. Just thinking about something. I remembered someone who also had the same name" replied Arron.

"Is that so? What's the name of someone you mean Ivy too?" ask Deon.

Arron nodded his head, "Yes" replied Arron.

Deon and Arron spoke. Arron asked about the land in Verox street that was sold unilaterally by Uncle Deon, and Deon replied with a smile, if the land had returned to him. Deon tells the story of Olivia who is kind enough to give her land back. And because Olivia has been kind, then Deon was willing to give his land to Olivia to be made 'Hotel'.

"Aren't you feeling a loss? your land area is twice that of the verox" Arron said.

"It's okay. For me the land in verox is more valuable. Because that land is my ancestral heritage. Thank you, for helping me. Thanks to you I was able to shorten the time to find a master builder" Deon said.

"Expert building? Do you need to build that 'Hotel? Want to use my architect and building expert? if you say my name, he'll help you right away" Arron said.

Deon was surprised, "Well, of course I would. Who are you to recommend, definitely not just anyone. Tell me where he lives and I'll meet him right away" Deon said.

Arron also told the residence of the architect he knew. Not only is he good at designing house plans and sketches, he is also a building expert. Surely the work is neat and fast.

Moments later, Deon said goodbye and left.

"Then I go first. Thanks for helping you, Arron. See you," said Deon.

Deon wanted to go to the architect's house and ask him to talk about the construction of Ivy's hotel. Arron smiled to let go of his best friend.

Olivia's training with Issac. Anthony asks Olivia to try to combine the mana with his sword.

"Do it slowly, so you get used to it" said Anthony.

Olivia nodded, then tried. He gathered the mana on his palms and clasped his sword tightly.

"Focus, Iv ." said Issac. The one who accompanied Olivia.

Olivia's forehead wrinkled, "Why is my chest tight? uhh .. "inner Olivia.

Olivia kept channeling mana into her sword. But over time he felt pain. His chest tightened, and he could barely breathe. His body was sweating and suddenly Olivia drooped.

"Ivy .." cried Issac to help Olivia.

"What's wrong?" ask Anthony.

"It looks like Ivy still can't control his mana causing an explosion. Lucky not bad," said Issac.

Issac immediately carried Olivia into the house so she could be laid to bed.

***

Several hours passed, and Olivia was still unconscious. Emma accompanied Olivia, sitting next to Olivia with reddened and teary eyes.

Anthony and Issac were waiting in the living room. They also told the Duke's residence about Olivia falling unconscious during rehearsal.

"What's really going on?" muttered Anthony.

"Dad, we have to help Ivy. He would have experienced something similar, if not able to control the mana." Issac.

"Yes, you're right. I didn't think Ivy was going to have an explosion and pass out. The mana he possessed was so large and powerful, it was certainly not comparable to his body. Although Ivy has trained her physique hard all this time, but her body is still a fragile body" said Anthony.

"What are you gonna do?" ask Issac.

"Father will .. " Anthony's words came to a halt.

Suddenly Victor, Octavius and Owen come to Anthony's residence. Owen immediately examined Olivia's body, while Octavius and Victor listened to Anthony's explanation.

"so apparently. As expected, something like this will definitely happen." Victor.

"Sorry, what do you mean?" ask Anthony.

"I used to know my wife was going through something similar. Experiencing mana explosions because he can't control mana. I've been looking for people who can help him train to control mana, but no one can help me" Victor said.

"Then. The only way, Ivy just has to train in the training forest. Wasn't the forest only accessible to members of Hubbert's descendants who possessed extraordinary abilities? who knows, if Ivy is the chosen one in the Hubbert family. Considering the Hubbert family is the number one swordsman in the empire." Said Anthony.

Victor's eyes widened, "Why can I forget that there's a training forest that might help Olivia train?" inner Victor.

"Lantas, what do you think. Was Olivia able to undergo training alone in the forest? Isn't this the same as closed training?" said Victor.

"Of course you can. I believe in the persistence of my students. Ivy, was a obedient and obedient disciple. He always does what he's asked for without asking a lot of questions" replied Anthony.

Victor looked at Anthony, "Alright. We'll talk about that later together after Olivia's healthy" Victor said.

Owen comes out of the room with Olivia and Octavius. Emma followed behind.

"Iv, you're awake" said Issac to Olivia.

"Yes, sorry to worry you all" Ivy said.

"Thank God you're okay. Because you had an explosion of mana, and although not severe, but you must not do any more strenuous activity. You must be isritahat, Iv. ", said Issac.

Olivia looked at Anthony, "Coach, what does that mean? can't I practice anymore?" ask Olivia.

"could certainly. However, for now you must rest." replied Anthony.

"Yes, okay. I see," muttered Olivia sadly.

Victor rubbed Olivia's head. She said Olivia had to undergo treatment before she returned to training. Olivia told her father.

Victor says goodbye, taking Olivia home with him. Olivia looked at Anthony and Issac alternately, then said goodbye. Octavius and Owen also said goodbye. They got into the horse-drawn carriage. Except for Emma, who was sitting with the coachman in front.
