"H-How do I put the whole Imperial Palace back down?!" Ashleah screamed uncontrollably. She heard how the servants were screaming that there was an earthquake not knowing that the very land they were stepping on was floating above air because of their Imperial Princess who has this power like a devilish beast!
Prescott's breathing was unstable, eyes were wandering around, mind was in chaos. The man turned himself into a bird and quickly flew to his Master to calm her down, thinking that might help. Deep inside, Prescott was very surprised with Ashleah's powers. This was very rare.
"Your Highness! Do not worry and calm down okay?!" He shouted as loud as he can so that Ashleah can hear him, but on the other hand Ashleah shook her head and shut her eyes tightly with tears flowing down her soft porcelain cheeks.
"I-I am so sorry Prescott! I did not wish for this to happen!" She cried out making Prescott panic even more. The bird quickly turned himself to his human form and held his Master's shoulder, making her look at him eye to eye.
"Your highness, you need to calm down and think. I am deeply sorry for saying this but- your crying will not do anything. Calm down and bring peace to your mind, imagine slowly putting the whole Imperial Palace back to where it belongs." Prescott said calmly and warmly, Ashleah slowly calmed down, she nodded her head and looked up before closing her eyes again.
'Please, please, please work' She whispered to herself. Slowly, she felt how the ground came back down. Sighing in relief she opened her eyes and saw how Gab with Kian ran towards her. They had this worried expression.
"Are you okay-" She could not even finish what she was saying when suddenly Gab and Kian blurts out the same thing while panting.
"Are you okay, Your Highness?!" She blinked her eyes. Quite unbelievable for Ashleah to be honest. She thought that they were running towards her to say how scared they were, but they did not do it even though they can and had the rights to do so.
There she felt how these people around her loves her so much with the same amount of love that she's been giving them since day 1. Tears suddenly dropped one by on while she was smiling softly at them making the three men panic.
"W-Why are you crying? Your Highness no please." Kian said while his hand were trembling trying to calm the Princess down. She giggled and shook her head, telling them that it was alright and they shouldn't panic.
"No, I will do my best to protect you." She smiled, the three smiled back at her not knowing the truth behind the words that left Ashleah's lips.

"So it was not an earthquake?" Axis blinked his eyes after taking a sip from his coffee. Yes, when the incident happen. Axis with Nash was walking their way to the training grounds to surprise Ashleah.
The Princess who just finished changing clothes awkwardly smiled at them. About to answer the question, Prescott suddenly walked inside the chambers with Emperor Adler who had the 'What happened earlier?' look on his face.
"Indeed, it was not an earthquake but it was caused by her highness." Prescott blurts out making Nash choke while drinking the cup of tea that was given by Nanny Riley earlier.
"What do you mean by that? She did an earthquake? It's like she wished to do that-" Axis could not finish what he was saying because Prescott interrupted him again to avoid any confusion.
"I already finished reporting to his Majesty what happened, he, himself, was very surprised but her highness had the whole Imperial Palace floating earlier. That was not an earthquake, but it was the Princess loosing control of her powers."
The room went silent, the only thing that they can hear was noises outside of maids working and cleaning. Nash and Axis froze on the spot, Ashleah looked around trying to think of something that she can say.
"To be exact, Ashleah's that powerful." Emperor Adler finally spoke up, he had this composed look on his face. She smiled, her Father really suits the role as an Emperor. "I had Prescott fly to the white magicians quickly while Ashleah was changing her clothes with a letter."
"What letter, Father?" Blinking her eyes with a creased forehead, furrowed eyebrows Ashleah glanced at her Father, confused.
He sighed deeply before talking again. "It's a letter requesting if they can do some research about your powers and the effects that it might bring to you and the people around you. I also requested if they can train you here with Prescott inside the training grounds of the Imperial Palace."
Nash cleared his throat and stood up. "Also, do not worry. I, Duke Deoncan was also given the job to not let anyone know what's happening inside the Imperial Palace, and also about finding where the Black Magicians are currently hiding for now."
"That's a bit dangerous why are you doing tha-"
"Ashleah, please do not forget that I am the owner of the blessed sword and I am also doing trainings. Whatever happens we will never let them have you and sacrifice you for their own greed."
Smiling, she looked at her Father with a pouting lips. The Emperor chuckled sarcastically and ended up nodding his head. "I think that my daughter wishes to have some spear time with the two of you. I hope that you can catch up on some things that happened to the three of you recently."
The Princess clasped her hand together and giggled. "The trio's reunited again." Prescott laughed before they walked out of Ashleah's chambers. The Princess quickly sat down and sighed loudly.
"That's some sigh, Ash." Axis laughed before taking another sip of his coffee while looking at Ashleah and Nash.
"Aww, look at how powerful Ash is now. She used to be such a headache-" Nash could not even complete what he was saying when a flying throw pillow said hello to his face, making Axis choke a little while drinking.
"Stop saying I was such a headache, we both know who the headache of this trio is!" She puffed out some air like she was some kind of kid having a huge tantrum, making Axis laugh.
"Yes!" He continued to laugh but soon then stopped when he felt their stares digging holes around his body, with that his expression changed slowly. 'Wait, no! I am not the headache of this trio though?!"
"HAHAHAHA! Yes, yes you are!" Ashleah laughed while clapping her hands like a kid.
Meanwhile, Emperor Adler and Prescott who's still not so far away from Ashleah's chambers can hear how the trio started laughing out of nowhere.
Emperor Adler chuckled lightly shaking his head, he looked at Prescott with a Fatherly smile plastered on his face.
"Yes, Your Majesty?" Prescott blinked his eyes at the Emperor, but as soon as he heard the giggles coming from the chambers of his Master, he also chuckled.
"I do miss hearing them like that, please do talk to Duke Deoncan's butler and tell him to clear the Duke's schedule for now, talk to the temple and let Axis stay here for now. I just want my daughter to have some fun today. Are there any audience or meetings I have to attend?"
Prescott laughed. "Your Majesty, I am not your butler."
