I AM DIANA VIOLA EHRENBERG.\nI AM CASSIAN LICHTE PETRORA.\n\n...CASION? THEN THIS CHILD IS VIOLETA'S...\nWE DIDN'T LOSE OUR WAY.\nWE CAME HERE SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE WE HAVE AN URGENT FAVOR TO ASK OF YOU, LORD GADRIAN.\n\nA FAVOR... AND WHAT MIGHT THAT BE?\nCOULD YOU PLEASE EXAMINE PRINCE CASION, LORD GADRIAN?\n...EXAMINE HIM?\nYES. MODERN MEDICINE CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY THE PRINCE'S CONDITION IS WORSENING.\n\nSINCE YOU ARE AN 8TH-CIRCLE MAGE, WE THOUGHT YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE A SPECIAL ILLNESS THAT THE IMPERIAL DOCTORS COULDN'T DIAGNOSE...\nNOT ONLY DID YOU BARGE IN UNANNOUNCED, YOU'RE ASKING FOR A FREE CONSULTATION... YOU CERTAINLY ARE BOLD.\n\nCOULD YOU PLEASE LOOK AT HIM JUST ONCE, IF ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR CONNECTION WITH THE LATE QUEEN?\nIN THE PAST, THE FAMILY OF THE LATE QUEEN VIOLETTA AND GADRIAN'S FAMILY HAD A CONNECTION.\n\nI HEARD THEY WERE CHILDHOOD FRIENDS WHO STUDIED UNDER THE SAME MASTER WHEN THEYWERE YOUNG.\nI BEG OF YOU.\nWE CONSIDER THIS OUR LAST CHANCE.\nA BOY FROM THE ROYAL FAMILY WITH BUDDING AMBITION AND A GIRL WITH WISDOM LIKE A SAGE.\n\nTHIS IS INTERESTING, AS I EXPECTED.\n...HMM, VERY WELL. PRINCE, PLEASE HOLD OUT YOUR HAND.\n\nCOULD THIS BE...!\n\nTHIS IS...\nPRINCE CASION, YOU SAID YOU WERE SUFFERING FROM AN ILLNESS?\n\n...YES.\nTHIS ISN'T AN ILLNESS; IT'S A PROBLEM CAUSED BY YOUR PHYSICAL CONSTITUTION.\nRIGHT NOW, YOUR HIGHNESS'S MANA POOL IS ABNORMALLY EMPTY.\n\nHIS MANA POOL IS EMPTY? ARE YOU SAYING THE PRINCE HAS NO MANA AT ALL?\n\nEVEN ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MAGIC ARE BORN WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF MANA.\nOF COURSE, IT'S AN EXTREMELY TINY AMOUNT COMPARED TO MAGES LIKE US.\nTHAT'S WHY WE CAN DISTINGUISH BETWEEN ORDINARY PEOPLE AND MAGES BY THEIR MANA ALONE.\nHOWEVER, YOUR HIGHNESS...\n\nYOUR MANA IS SO EMPTY THAT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL.\nTHEN... IS THIS INCURABLE?\nIF YOU DON'T MIND, MAY I INJECT A SMALL AMOUNT OF MANA INTO YOU?\n\nPRINCE CASION!!\nI FORCIBLY INJECTED MANA INTO A MANA ROOM THAT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY, SO YOU WILL FEEL FATIGUED FOR A WHILE.\n\nIT WILL IMPROVE QUICKLY AS TIME PASSES, SO DO NOT WORRY.\n...BY THE WAY, THINKING THAT THE ILLNESS MIGHT BE RELATED TO MAGIC IS QUITE CLEVER.\n\nIF SOMEONE HAD PUT THEM UP TO THIS, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE SENT JUST THE CHILDREN,\nNOR WOULD THEY HAVE SOUGHT ME OUT IN THIS MANNER.\nHOW DID YOU FIND YOUR WAY HERE?\nI'M CURIOUS WHOSE IDEA IT WAS TO SEEK OUT A MAGE IN THE FIRST PLACE.\n\nOH... THAT WAS ME. IT WAS MY IDEA.\nMOST INTRIGUING.\n\nUSUALLY, PEOPLE WOULD DISMISS IT AS AN INCURABLE DISEASE. HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH SUCH A THOUGHT?\nAH, WELL...\nI CAN'T EXACTLY SAY I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE DIED AND COME BACK TO LIFE ONCE BEFORE...\nI HAVE MANY QUESTIONS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, IT SEEMS OUR TIME IS UP.\n\nTHE MAGIC'S EFFECT IS ABOUT TO END. YOUR BODIES WILL BE PUSHED OUT BY THE BARRIER'S RECOIL, SO BE CAREFUL.\nWAIT, JUST A MOMENT! IS THE TREATMENT FINISHED WITH THIS?\n\nFOR THE DETAILS,\nI SHALL VISIT THE ROYAL PALACE SOON.\n\nUGH....!\n\nFINALLY...\nI'VE FOUND A CLUE.\n\nI CAN CURE PRINCE CASSIAN'S ILLNESS!\n\nYOUR HIGHNESS, ARE YOU TIRED?\n\nMY BODY FELT HEAVY RIGHT AFTER WE POPPED OUT OF THE BOUNDARY EARLIER,\nBUT NOW I ACTUALLY FEEL FULL OF ENERGY.\nI'M GLAD. BUT WHAT SHOULD WE DO? YOU DIDN'T GET TO SEE MUCH OF THE FESTIVAL.\n\nIMMEDIATELY AFTER RETURNING, THEY JOINED UP WITH THE GUARDS WHO WERE LOOKING FOR THEM.\nMY LADY, YOUR HIGHNESS!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!\nAFTERWARD, THEY WERE FORCED TO JOIN BELLA AND DEISON, WHOM THEY MET BY CHANCE, AND WERE PRACTICALLY DRAGGED AROUND.\n\nWELL, MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE FOUND A CLUE ABOUT MY ILLNESS. THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME.\nAND, THIS...\n\nOH MY, WHEN DID YOU BUY THIS?\nWHILE YOU WERE BEING HELD UP BY THAT DAYSON FELLOW, I SECRETLY...\nMY LADY, ISN'T THE FESTIVAL MORE FUN BECAUSE YOU'RE WITH ME?\n...IN YOUR DREAMS.\nHAHA... YES, IT'S FUN...!\n\nTHE ILLUSION MAGIC ON THIS WILL LAST LONGER THAN THE NECKLACE YOU SAW EARLIER TODAY.\nI NEVER EXPECTED ANYTHING FROM CASSIAN...\n\nBUT RECEIVING SOMETHING LIKE THIS ACTUALLY MAKES ME FEEL GOOD.\nYOUR HIGHNESS... THANK YOU SO MUCH.\nI LIKE THIS MUCH MORE THAN THE GIFT DAYSON GAVE ME.\n...REALLY? THEN THROW AWAY THE ONE THAT GUY GAVE YOU AND WEAR THIS.\n\nHE'S SO JEALOUS, JUST LIKE A KITTEN.\nOF COURSE! AND YOU, YOUR HIGHNESS, SHOULDN'T BE TOO HAPPY ABOUT THE GIFT BELLA GAVE YOU.\nI'M NOT REALLY INTERESTED IN A GIFT LIKE THAT.\nIS THAT SO? I HAVE A GIFT PREPARED AS WELL, BUT I WONDER IF YOU WON'T BE INTERESTED IN THAT EITHER.\n\nWHAT GIFT...? WHEN DID YOU BUY SOMETHING LIKE THAT?\nQUITE A WHILE AGO.\n\n...WHAT? WHY DID THE CARRIAGE STOP ALL OF A SUDDEN?\nIT STOPPED SO I COULD SHOW YOU THE GIFT I PREPARED MYSELF.\nSHALL WE STEP OUTSIDE THE CARRIAGE TOGETHER?\n\nDO YOU RECOGNIZE WHERE WE ARE?\n\nTHIS IS...!","bubble_count":86,"pages_count":35,"source":"community"},"spoiler":{"level":"auto","safe_teaser":"I bought the villains with money Chapter 24 opens with Diana Viola Ehrenberg and Prince Cassian urgently requesting an examination from Lord Gadrian.","spoiler_summary":"I bought the villains with money Chapter 24 opens with Diana Viola Ehrenberg and Prince Cassian urgently requesting an examination from Lord Gadrian.
