Chapter 39: The First Ash Interlude
"I am Aeris Illya Thaloreon, 2nd Princess of the Thaloreon Kingdom."
Aeris spoke, but in her voice, she seemed hesitant to trust me. I mean, I wouldn't trust someone who blasts their way in a bandit camp and cleaves their leader in half while not even giving a fuck.
But well, my objective was successful—Rescue Aeris Illya Thaloreon and make her the first member of the Covenant.
[You have not asked her to join your faction yet...] Dante sighed.
I don't need to.
[Why?]
Because she will join me of her own accord.
[And why is that?]
Aeris in the game was a villainous who straight up wiped out two Elven Kingdoms—Eldorwen and Thaloreon. But when Raiden and the elven heroine, Maerina Illya Thaloreon, Aeris's sister, fight her in the later part of the game and defeat her.
It was revealed that Aeris was suffering from a strange and rare disease that made her mana-insensitive.
It meant that she could not sense or feel mana in the surroundings, which in turn led to her not being able to use mana because if one can't feel mana, they can't form a mana core.
