“I heard there was a wedding~”
Every gaze turned toward the beautiful woman who suddenly entered the room despite the tight security at the entrance.
The woman, by appearance, seed a middle-aged lady but her beauty and confident aura adorned with the tempting charm which made it nearly impossible for anyone to tear their eyes off made her presence prominent in the room.
However, more than anything that made everyone except Luna, widen their eyes was the dense yet purest form of mana they felt from the lady which made the air slightly suffocating yet pleasant to breathe at the sa ti.
The natural admiration for the lady was making it seem natural for the others to kneel and worship the lady, but thankfully Luna’s loud call helped them get out of their daze.
“Grandma!”
Luna walked forward, after elbowing Austin who staring at the lady, as she hug the woman fondly and found the latter reciprocating the gesture by chuckling heartily as she patted Luna’s back.
Austin instantly regretted and questioned his morals be eyeing like that to Luna’s grandma. He hesitantly thought about whether he should walk forward to introduce himself but found himself nervous like never before.
For Luna, her grandma was the dearest person she had apart from Austin so the blond-haired boy was anxious about how he should be approaching the matter.
Thankfully, the older woman seed not-so-strict as she smiled at Austin knowingly before she separated from her granddaughter.
“I, William der Gramdour, pay respect to the Lady Supre.”
Mikhail had no idea why his father suddenly knelt on the ground but when he and the other two heard how their majesty referred the woman, they also fell on their knee and head leaned forward.
There was only no doubt in the fact that the entity in front who was extruding such dense mana was one of the guardian deities in her human form.
“You recognized ?”
“I did not receive the blessing, Lady Supre, but I do have the experience to identify our guardians.”
William despite having an emotional breakdown so monts ago, displayed a sight of pure admiration toward the being he could have never expected in this situation.
Duke Reynold had his mind short-circuited like the bespectacled mage beside him since it was the first ti they had co in the air of a deity. Expect being too overwheld they could do nothing rather than let their majesty take the lead.
Celeria, paused before the blond youth with a faint smile on her face as she surveyed him up to down. Austin could only glance at Luna in stress but the latter was just smirking since it was rare for her to see Austin so bloated with anxiety.
“We shall have a nice chat over a cup of tea?”
Austin didn’t let his gaze fixate her as he soon nodded and replied in a firm tone.
“Yes, of course. “
Celeria contended with Austin’s physical and internal condition from what she surveyed so these shortcomings he showed were already forgiven.
“We have a rather pressing matter in hand to take care of.”
William was washed with a sense of relief as the lady advanced toward Tiara with a small frown on her face. Luna soon followed.
Celeria traced her hand over Tiara’s whole body with a faint cyan hue radiating over her hand. The frown knitted further as it seed she finally grasped what Luna told them earlier.
“Enzaer huh….I am impressed how you have restrained its growth, dear.”
Celeria smiled at her granddaughter which further making the girl smile in delight but that smile soon died down as she asked in a heavy tone.
“But Grandma…”
“Yeah, I know.”
Refocusing her gaze on the young girl lying lifeless on the bed, the older woman continued.
“Her mana is restlessly trying to accept the poison which in turn makes it nearly impossible for any cure to reach before the poison erodes her vessel and turns her into a corpse.”
William's heart clenched to a further extent as he heard a such a thing from Celeria who was the last hope left. Being at such a divine level, William knew Tiara wouldn’t survive if even Celeria declare her as a lost cause.
“Father….”
Mikhail supported his father as they silently waited for the guardian deity to continue.
Celeria turned her head in Austin’s direction as she spoke in a firm tone unlike before.
“Austin…”
He stepped forward, still slightly tensed as he wordlessly nodded for her to continue.
“I will connect you to this girl’s subconscious. You have to do your best to convince her that it’s not the end for her. Her reluctance for life derives from you so I guess you won’t mind taking so responsibility, right?”
The room fell dead silent since those who didn’t know why and how Tiara committed suicide or why she was not ready to continue her life anymore, got a gist of what might have happened. Well, they already had an idea but hearing the lady’s words, they got the clarity.
On the other hand, Luna had a frown adorning her face as she spoke in a complaining tone.
“But Grandma-“
“I know my child, but if Austin’s lies could help soone’s life then I don’t find any issue worth not trying~”
The fact of the matter was, Celeria wanted Austin to enter Tiara’s subconscious and on basis of so lies and sugar-coated words, convince the princess so she doesn’t actively try to end herself.
And in the anti, the lady could heal the patient back to safety.
Austin didn’t have to think much since even Luna would have stopped him, Tiara’s condition was sothing he calls himself responsible for.
With a serene look on his face, he nodded toward the lady.
“I’ll do it.”
