Anyone human, will do the process of adaptation to the new environment around them. Adaptations, some are done with a long or short period of time. Yeah, well, anybody knows this. This process is also experienced by the Princess who has a great responsibility on her shoulders, namely Zeeta Aurora XXI, who has just spent her days in the land of the Elves, Grandtopia, for five days. Everything he had to do together with Aria— who became a companion in a special house for them, and helped his life during training there. Many new things that he got in this unique land nan beautiful. In addition to her knowledge of the magical creatures that exist in the world increased, she also knew the fact that Aria wanted to say many times but delayed.
It happened on the third night he was living there. The Elves were already inside their respective residences. Some are asleep, some are sharpening spear blades, arrows, and other hunting weapons to use in the early hours. To be sure, in the house inhabited only by the two creatures, it felt silent when the phrase for the sake of expression was thrown by Aria. Aria tells Zeeta the secret of the Elves in the dining room after they have dinner.
“This is a very important history for our existence, as well as being crucial for you to know. This history has never been told to Humans, Dragons, Elves, or any other race in this world, unless a fraction of them have been involved in it,”. “At first, the reason I was watching you was just out of curiosity.... 'Why, the figure of his descendants chose the path of destruction, why a precious figure
for us to decide to destroy the world?'
"Whatever your reason for the prophecy is, I want to know. If I like the reason, the way you think or the way you act, I decide to engage with you further. I will be with you until the end of my life.
"And now, here we are. I'm not a stranger to you, nor am I to you."
Zeeta understands what Aria wants to say, but she also does not understand in some parts. He decided to shut up and let Aria finish talking.
“Do you not realize that Lucy has the same moon earrings as you? Did you know Lucy was one of your ancestors?”
With a wry smile on her lips, Zeeta replied, “Of course I know. He was very fixated on me, and Velvet's brother was also strange since his name was called Azure's sister. But ... what does this have to do with you guys?”
“I once said, that Elves are formed by the mixing of Man and Fairy. The person who did that was Lucy.
“Lucy is a descendant of Velvet Aurora XI, the second sister of her three sisters Clarissa Aurora IX, who had a very tragic end to life.
“ Lucy's real name is Marianna Aurora, her nickname is Mary. One day 250 years ago, when he found out something passed down from his grandmother.

That day, dusk already wanted to be sound in his sleep. In the royal palace, the lights of the fire or candle magic and the chandeliers illuminated the royal palace, while the surrounding area was still quite dark because it only had the illumination of a torch and was not yet as advanced as the throne of Alicia.
All of Clarissa's grandchildren are gathered in a dining room with a long, luxurious, and old-fashioned table with antiques and special items such as plates, cups, and other dining room decorations. There were no parents to accompany, only five grandchildren, one of whom was a man, and several servants who were on standby there.
Audrey Alexandrita and Erina Alexandrita; was the daughter of Iris Aurora X or Iris Alexandrita IX, Marianna Aurora; the only daughter of Velvet Aurora XI, and then Julia and Gilbert Aurora; daughter and son of Roze Aurora XII.
The five grandchildren of Clarissa age not so far, only 3-6 years. The Princesses had already reached their teens, while the Prince was only ten years old.
“Tell me, My beloved grandkids. If one of you inherits the burden and responsibility of our ancestors, what
will you guys do?” clarissa asked, accompanied by a cup of warm tea. The five grandchildren were silent for a moment, the first to answer was Audrey.
“Clease that unresolved burden and responsibility, Grandma,” Audrey replied. It has long unraveled golden hair and yellow eyes. His attitude and behavior has been educated firmly, the proportion of his body is also trained as a soldier.
“If I ... I will try as I can, hehehe.... After all, I still have a lot to learn from my Big Brother and cousins,” Erina replied. It
having a long grey-purple shoulder-length hair tied one and purple-eyed. Audrey's sister also has a sturdy and well-trained posture, just like her brother.
“Hmph-deep. Why do I think of my ancestors. My life is my life,” Julia replies, crossing arms. It's a long redhead styled like “bor”. He has emerald eyes.
“A-I ... also don't want to feel burdened. But, if I knew I was capable of carrying that burden and responsibility, I would, ” replied Gilbert, who was both red-haired, but curly-type and short. His eyes are blue.
The four grandchildren had already answered, and they were waiting for an answer from Marianna, who looked like she had big glasses, and could be considered the most immodical of her other cousins.
“How about you, Mary?” clarissa asked, smiling gently.
“A-me.... With my abilities being nothing compared to others, I can only help from behind the scenes.... If what I do behind the scenes can lift the weight of my ancestors, even if it is heavy, I will.
“But ... considering I am the weakest, I doubt if I can finish it. I will only be a burden to the next generation of Aurora.... Pardon me, Grandma, for not being able to live up to your expectations...."
Audrey quickly got up from her seat, ignoring the fact that she had shocked the entire dining room with a slamming table. He approached Marianna and raised his hands high. Marianna who guessed she would be slapped, closed her eyes tightly. But....
“What do you mean, Mary? Among all of us, you are the most noble of hearts. Each of us has its own strengths and weaknesses. So don't wilt before you bloom!” stroking her head, Audrey showed a five-finger smile that was very dazzling to Marianna.
“U-uhm-fr. Thank you, Audrey...,” reply Marianna forced to smile.
“Mary!” squeal Julia.
“I-iya, what's the matter Julia?”
“You are a descendant of Clarissa Aurora and Velvet Aurora. You only need to remember those two things and that is enough to give you strength!
“I don't want to see my beloved cousin as if ostracized. As Bar-Bar Audrey said, you have powers we don't!”
“Hah? What do you say, Drill Hair?” Audrey exuded her concentrated mana.
“Hmm? You challenge me, Bar-Bar Girl?” Julia did the same.
“Thank God,” said Clarissa, who instantly calmed the mood. “I didn't gather you just to ask that. So, there's a special reason why I asked her. Listen to me carefully.
Later, Clarissa told what Fairy Queen Feline had predicted to her five grandchildren, that their twenty-first offspring would destroy the world. Therefore, her eldest daughter, Iris, came out of the royal lineage and married another nobleman only to dedicate her family to educating and training the mental, magic, physical, royal manners, and other noble things in the descendants of the next princess.
Thus, when the throne of Roze was succeeded by Julia, Julia's descendants would be educated by Audrey. So next.
“But, Grandma... why the descent...?” Erina wondered about the reason her descendants were far in the future of destroying the world.
“No idea, that's why we're all going to prevent it. Maybe it was because of hatred, or something else that happened in his life,” replied Clarissa. “I'm not trying to scare you and feel you're responsible for what happens in the future, and end up with you not enjoying your own life.
“I just want you to know, that our family has great power gained through suffering. Do not make mistakes that will hurt yourself. Use that power wisely. If not ... I will not forgive you guys in nature there.” His five grandchildren sensed an enormous mana threatening their lives.
Thus, the five grandchildren withdrew from the palace and returned to their respective residences in chariots. Different from
the other, Marianna goes to the village of Lazuli, her grandmother's hometown, where she meets Feline for the first time....
......................
Fifteen minutes into a horse-drawn carriage after disguising herself as an ordinary villager, Marianna goes to the border of the forest and village. Village
who was in a state of slumber, completely unaware of the existence of one of their Princesses. With his eyes, he could be sure. The forest had a strong mana and could not be felt or seen by ordinary humans. Shortly after, he met Feline....
“Oh? What are you doing these nights, Princess?” The fairy flapped the wings that dropped the pink grain.
“Ka-you...? Peri ...? So you guys really exist..?” ask Marianna.
“See these eight wings. You don't know who I am?”
“Ahahaha.... Pardon me...”.
“Alright, I won't blame you. I'm Feline. Then, what do you need?”
“Ah .. so here it is. My grandmother told me that...” Marianna told me what just happened.
The fairy—smiled with width.
Marianna turned her back to Feline and told him with sparkling eyes behind her glasses. “I just theorized, could a new creature be created from merging one mana with another? I am the weakest of my brothers and sisters, but I still want to help them with
our new destination.
“If my theory is correct, with the creation of this new creature, they can jump-start the power of the kingdom while protecting it.”
“Ho...? You want to unite your mana with Peri?”
Marianna nodded. “It's true! Am I allowed..?”
“Of course! As the Queen of all Elves, I will help you to the end, Princess Mary.
Unaware of her veiled intentions, Marianna
sparkle.
......................
[Back to Grandtopia.].
“Then, a lot happened in your kingdom. Many bad issues continued to attack the palace, especially on Velvet and Mary. Mary is said to be pregnant with the child of the Elves, but that is not the case. It is still holy.
“Mary continues the path of her mother who is very curious about many things. To realize his theory, he confined himself in the palace basement while pouring his mana on a bottle containing the mana from Morgan. But suddenly, the mana in the bottle went into his stomach. There's nothing he can do to get that mana out. He also did not know why it had entered his stomach.
“Despite his relentless fear and anxiety, he remains concerned with the one thing he holds firmly in his mind.
“That is helping her brothers and sisters, to realize a bright future in your era, Zeeta.”
Zeeta crying. He could not believe that the killer who had wiped out the lives of hundreds of Elves, including Willmurd, turned out to be such a person.
“But, in that moment, everything darkened Mary's eyes...”.
......................
“Great.... This forest is filled with high-mortal entities! Why don't I realize there are many creatures like you? If I knew I was pas—ughkk Marianna who was stunned by the location of a forest alone, suddenly
feeling contractions in his stomach. “At a place like this?!” his inner. Inevitably, she had to give birth there. Shortly thereafter….
“Kuu kuu. I'll help you.”
“Who ka—aghk!”
“Tenace. I'll be by your side until you're done giving birth.”
Feeling no threat from the owl-like creature, Marianna agreed.
.
.
.
.
After about eight hours of effort, sweat, and blood, Marianna gave birth to three children, each of whom had pointed ears.
“Wah, this forest has new inhabitants. Welcome to this magical world, kuu kuu.” Maisie stroked the cheeks of the three babies.
“Why ... you know ... about this...?” ask Marianna.
“I am the Forest Supervisor, Dryad. I'm Maisie. So, you've decided on a name for this new creature?”
“Uhm. They are Elves. Their names are Lucy, Jewel, and Hugo.
“Anu... Mrs Dryad?”
“Kuu kuu?”
“What can we stay here?”
“Ku. Of course.” Maisie greeted them warmly.
Then six years after that....
“Ibuu...!” The long silver-haired elf ran into his mother's lap who was making something with her magic.
“What's up, Lucy, my dear boy?” Marianna, whose hair is now very long, immediately greeted her son with a tall sling.
“Look this .. I was playing with Hugo and Jewel, but all of a sudden, your earrings shone and made us shocked!
“We thought a smart Mom would know the answer, so I brought you this!” Lucy gives Marianna the moon earrings.
“Uhm. Thank you! But, where are your sisters?”
“Entaih, they may be hunting.”
“Hmmm.” Marianna immediately put on her earrings. Then....
“Mary?! Finally connected too! What have you been doing all this time?! Your mother and father will be executed! Go home soon, you fool!”
The voice and speech from Audrey shocked half to death.
“E-eh...? What do you mean...? Who gave the order...?”
“Julia! There's been a lot going on here since you left Aurora. I can't explain everything through earrings. Meet me at Trezia tower soon!”
“Ba-fine! I'll teleport!”
Seeing her normally cheerful mother suddenly panic, making Lucy a little frightened. “I-Mother ... is everything okay..?”
“Lucy! Seek your brothers and take refuge. Hiding from anyone who's looking for you. Don't be noisy, don't make a sound, don't cry. You are a big brother to them. Promise me you'll protect them. Understand?”
“Ba-good! I understand!”
Marianna kissed Karina's cheeks and hugged her. “ Mom will be home soon! Mom promised!”
