"What did she do now?" Emperor Adler shook his head while Ashleah had this awkward smile plastered on her face, she was behind Gab who had this indescribable expression plastered on his face.
"Your Majesty, her highness accidentally flew.." He sighed and looked at Ashleah, shaking his head. "Accidentally made Kian flew up to the tree."
Emperor Adler's eyes widened. "Injuries?" He said while grabbing a quill from his side and paper, he dipped its tip with black ink and started writing. "What time did it happen? Is it inside the training grounds?"
Gab took a deep breath and started to talk about the details that happened with the incident- "There are no injuries since Prescott quickly stopped her Highness, It was a few hours ago, 2 of the Afternoon. It is inside the training grounds, Your Majesty." -Its been a week since Ashleah started training by herself.
Why do you ask? The church/temple are now training Axis because he is the future high priest, Axis in the weekends train inside the Imperial Palace's training grounds, meanwhile Ashleah do studies about magic, literature, history of the Empire.
On the other hand, Nash was very busy with his territory since he still has responsibilities for being the Duke. Also, Emperor Adler gave Nash another responsibility he is now the captain of the biggest group of knights in the Genry Empire.
Ischy Knights are now under Duke Deoncan himself. "Is that all?" Emperor Adler suddenly blurts out making Ashleah look at her Father and awkwardly smiled, she took a step forward and also smiled awkwardly at Gab.
"Father, I deeply apologize for doing such things for the past week. Still, it is so hard to control my powers." She pouted her lips and sat on the soft, comfy chair right beside her Father's desk. Even though no one talks about it she knew that her Father placed that chair beside him because Ashleah likes sitting beside him when she was a kid up until now.
She giggled with the thought that she was still her Father's baby no matter what happens. "Yes, I know that you still are learning Ashleah. Just let them walk away from you when you are training mm yes?"
Ashleah nodded her head making her Father chuckle lightly. "Oh! Thank God, I remember the question I was going to ask you yesterday!" She smiled and glanced at Gab, then to her Father before taking a lot of deep breaths. "the other nobles and commoners... Do they already know my situation?"
"For now, we do not wish for anyone to know about her highness' situation. What's happening inside the Imperial Palace stays inside it. Even if they try to talk about it we will silence them as soon as we can, His Majesty's order."
Her eyes widened, she quickly turned her body to face her Father. With her mouth hanging half wide open, widened eyes with an unbelievable expression inside it, eyebrows were both raised up high, she scoffed.
"Father, no. Please do not kill-"
Emperor Adler and Gab suddenly chuckled out of the blue making Ashleah furrow her eyebrows with a creased forehead due to confusion. 'What the hell is happening? What's so funny about it?'
"Ashleah, of course we will not kill anyone. They will just stay inside the dungeons until we fully take care of the matters. Of course we will give them the food and needs. Do not worry we will never dare to hurt anyone."
She shook her head and sighed before leaning her back to the chair and covered her eyes with the palm of her hands. "That kind of scared me for a moment, really." She chuckled to herself.
----------
Meanwhile, Axis was doing prayers while closing his eyes tightly. He tried to act like everything was okay even though he was beside The Current High Priest, Rowen.
He tried to take deep breaths while biting his lower lip while praying but deep inside his mind he was praying for 'Dear God, I do wish that this pain and misery will end sooner or later. I cannot bear to look at the man I used to look up to.'
After the long prayer, everyone stood up and bid their goodbyes to each other. "Well then, let us go inside the temple and have our daily lessons about God." The High Priest Rowen said, Axis shook his head and took a step back.
"I will go right behind you, will just take care of something." The High Priest Rowen's face had this 'What's so important about it?' Axis mentally scoffed to himself. "I will just take a short bath, I do feel a little sweaty."
The High Priest Rowen nodded his head, he smiled and started to walk away. As soon as Rowen was now far away from them, Axis sighed in relief.
"That was very awkward." He blurts out to himself and quickly walkes his way to the nearest restroom and splashed his face with the freezing cold water that was like it had ice on it.
----------
Nash sighed and massaged his forehead. "Is that the last one?" Nash blurts out with his neck leaned back and eyes closed shut.
"Unfortunately, it is not the last one. Here are more papers that needs your approval, replies–" Theo could not even finish what he was saying when Duke Deoncan suddenly spoke up words that he could not even understand.
"Fuck it. I lowkey wanna see her rn." Duke Deoncan placed his forehead on top of his desk and made noises like he was a kid who was having the worst tantrum ever.
"I'm sorry? What are you talking ako Duke? Did I do anything wrong?" Theo said making Nash chuckle and bring his head up.
"It's nothing, please do refill my ink." Nash smiled and Theo just responded with a simple nod.
----------
"Your Highness, okay please do take 5 deep breaths before releasing your powers, okay?" Prescott shouted from the other side of the training grounds.
"Yes!! I will try and not hurt anyone anymore!" She shouted back with a wide smile plastered on her face.
Ashleah closed her eyes and did her best to concentrate, not even caring about anything around her. She can hear the birds chirping, winds was at a normal rate, leaves slowly falling down one by one.
She then opened her eyes slowly, at first it was kind of blurry but then her eyes widened when she saw the wood that was on the floor was now floating with her magic surrounding it.
Ashleah quickly turned her head around and they gave her two big thumbs up, she giggled and took another deep breath to float the other wood at the same time.
Closing her eyes, taking a lot of deep breaths she imagined that the other wood was floating with the other wood, she needs to learn how her own magic works.
"I-Is it working?" Opening her eyes slowly, she then shrieked and clasped her hand together jumping up and down. She finally did it!
"Your Highness! Please do try with the metal one okay?" Prescott shouted while pointingat the metal, she quickly placed the wood down and closed her eyes yet again.
But suddenly, she felt the ground shaking. Gab shouted. "YOUR HIGHNESS WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?!?!"
"Your highness!! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING WHA-WHAT---!!!" Prescott continued to shout.
Ashleah quickly opened her eyes, and it widened when she slowly felt that she was floating— NO THE WHOLE IMPERIAL PALACE WAS FLOATING!!
"SHE SURE IS A POWERFUL PRINCESS!" Kian screamed on top of his lungs.
