Chapter 159: Melina Meets Asys
It was the day after Melina sent Ichiro a message, knowing that the final battle against Zagor was only a few hours away from happening.
That morning, she attended her lessons but wasn’t able to focus at all as her mind trailed off to think about Ichiro’s well-being.
Her roommates were worried for her, but they understood why she felt so nervous and decided to keep her company in their room.
While Yuki brewed a special tea from her hometown that helped calm the nerves, Luca and his two lackeys also visited the princess in her room and joined them for tea.
Nonetheless, Melina couldn’t keep a conversation going for more than ten seconds without falling silent out of her sheer worry.
Melina had her voice crystal beside her, as she wanted to keep it close in case any new message from Ichiro arrived.
She knew her father had gone to the war too, but she was perfectly aware that he wouldn’t be facing the devil with Ichiro, as he wouldn’t allow to put the king in danger like that.
Suddenly, while the group was trying to stay lively while telling stories to keep Melina’s mind somewhat distracted, the voice crystal shattered into dust out of nowhere.
The group fell silent as Melina turned her head and widened her eyes with fear and surprise after seeing her only means of communicating with Ichiro had imploded.
"W-what..." Melina muttered in complete disbelief, leaving everyone else on the balcony dead silent.
The silver-haired princess slowly stood up and held the crystal dust in her hands with apprehension as a small tear rolled down her cheek.
