Siesta turned towards the stairs and started climbing it. After some moments she was standing Infront of the affinity orb,she took a deep breath and placed her hand on top of it and poured her mana inside it, after some moments the orb started glowing and particles of light of the colours blue and purple started flowing out of the orb and the dragons with eyes of purple and blue started glowing. The particles of light entered Siesta's body and she fainted. Before she fell on the floor, Schwartz jumped and catched her.
"Are you okay?" Schwartz asked worriedly and asked the system the information it gained.
[Master she is alright and just fainted because her body was not able to withstand the power of 2 affinites that suddenly awakened inside her in such a short time.] said the system unhurriedly.
(as expected...So those rays where the attributes of water and lighting correct?)said Schwartz to the system as he narrowed his eyes.
[It's as you say master.]replied the system.
"woah..." one of the elders exclaimed and gulped.
"your majesties and the Duke family , I am happy to say this that it seems Siesta Solirifia has awakened 2 affinites , Water and Lighting.
*sigh* Rozzo and his wife sighed as they felt relief that nothing dangerous had happened to their daughter as it was a rare case for someone to faint after the attributes particles enter their bodies.
"hmmmm it seems Siesta will become alot stronger as she will continue to grow." Sabastian said smiling. He knew alot about dual mages (mages with 2 affinites) because he himself was one.
*giggle* "yes seems Siesta will grow alot more powerful in the future." Sofia smiled , then looked towards Schwartz and Siesta and then Rozzo and Jasmine.
Various emotions were hovering inside Rozzo and Jasmine. They were happy that their daughter had 2 affinites which was rare to come by, but were scared because if their enemies learned about this , they would try to assassinate or capture Siesta . But they were even looking forward to Siesta's growth in the future as she will grow alot stronger due to her affinites. As the saying goes , a parent's worries never ends...
[Master...it seems it's your turn now...] the system said sensing the elders coming towards them.
(yeah...looks like it...) Schwartz said wryly.
the elders bowed to Schwartz and took Siesta towards her family.
"The Duke, your daughter has alot of potential , if guided correctly, she will grow alot stronger and might even break into S-rank." the leader elder said and handed Siesta to the Duke.
Rozzo held her in his arms and slightly after Siesta gained her consciousness.
"mfh..." she slowly opened her eyes.
"where am I...." she said without thinking and suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"h-huh?! W-What happened?! D-Did I loose my consciousness?! D-Did I failed?!" Siesta asked and turned her head to look towards everyone.
"hahahaha...Why don't you ask uncle Rozzo? I am sure he will be more than happy to tell you." Schwartz laughed and smiled looking at Siesta and said those words.
"H-huh...." Siesta's face turned red thinking about the things that happened before she went to awaken her affinity and she lowered her head.
Seeing Siesta's actions , Sabastian started laughing while others smiled except for Schwartz and the elders.
They just smiled wryly and for different reasons.
The elders for the fact of listening something like this and Schwartz for thinking about the results that will happen.
*ahem* Rozzo fake coughed and looked towards Siesta.
"I am very proud of you Siesta " he said and smiled warmly looking at Siesta's face.
Siesta turned silent and then started thinking...
(D-Did I passed the test?)
Jasmine looked at her daughter and smiled before saying " congratulations Siesta ! You have successfully awakened the attributes of water and lighting!" and hugged her.
Rozzo hugged her aswell while Siesta...
She just thought that...
(w-woah... does this mean that I can finally be of use to Schwartz?) and smiled before she started crying due to the overwhelming happiness she felt in her heart. Yes... she was deeply in love with Schwartz.
Her parents also shed a few tears of happiness before hugging her even tighter.
The Imperial family smiled seeing this and didn't object the display as they were special to them.
While the elders present their just wryly smiled and thought the same thing...
(I really don't want HAZE to watch me 24/7)

*cough* *cough*
Rozzo coughed awarkedly before looking towards Sabastian and Sofia and said wryly...
"we are sorry for displaying such embrassing scene."
and bowed a little together with Jasmine and Siesta.
"haha...I don't mind... We are friends after all." said Sabastian before showing a cheeky grin.
Rozzo wryly smiled seeing that grin.
"I don't mind aswell" Sofia said and smiled.
" I am just happy for you Siesta ." Schwartz said and smiled.
"mhm.." Siesta nodded while keeping her head down due to embrassment .
*cough* the leader elder coughed awarkedly before turning towards Sabastian and saying,
"your Majesty, we are sorry to interrupt but should we proceed with his Highness's awakening?" the senior elder said and gulped thinking about the things that happened with him while talking to Schwartz.
he thought about discussing it with Sabastian but didn't because his instincts were telling him he won't live to see another day.
Sabastian looked towards the elder before nodding.
" Schwartz it's your turn now... let's see what you have got..." he said and looked towards Schwartz.
"Yes father , I will not fail you." Schwartz said nodding.
"hmmm...Good" Sabastian was yet again impressed by his son's braveness and spirit.
An elder gestured Schwartz to climb the stairs.
Schwartz climbed the stairs while asking the system something.
( hey partner , why don't you tell me what my affinities are?)
[Master, it would be better if you see it yourself.] the system replied indifferently .
Schwartz eyes twitched while he smiled wryly.
*sigh* a small sigh was released from his mouth before he said.
(whatever.) and stood Infront of the orb.
