Chapter 569
"For you can see us now, Ninth." — They answered, happily and contradicting their previous mood. Causing me more confusion... which they would quickly clarify... and tangle again with careless sincerity I would stay to make sure I could learn what they meant by them. — "If you can see us, that means she may not need to give messages again to you, dear Ninth~!"
"Oh... is that so? How come my being able to see you affects her tasks???"
"Teehehe~ Silly ninth~ Let us tell you!! Since you are able to see us, the gods also must have more reach to your being, us talking to you and being heard is proof!! Even Aenean’s spirit reaches you better now~! How exciting! Powers are growing, your spirit is blooming!! Aenean is resurfacing in the little traces!!"
"Yes! Calla’s bonds become stronger in their new forms!! A wonderful return, a lovely rebirth of the specks their spirits left in the Realm!! How exciting~!"

The afternoon came slowly for the crown prince, who felt conflicted once leaving his lady’s side who had denied his company in a thoughtful hope to aid his tasks.
’... I should have told her I wanted to spend the day with her and forget duties...’ — Zeleskiaz had come to believe and regret while going through his day. — ’I should have told her... duties do not matter if it means to pace near her...’
The anxiety caused because of a distasteful woman had dissolved after discussing it with his beloved that morning and now, at the same time, on his own, when the tasks bored him so he would search for some energy in the midst of solitude, the crown prince would think of Marianne’s attitude. Becoming quickly entranced in the charm of her character that confronted him and comforted his soul with unique cleverness.
