"Sika.it's really you?..",

"Sure!" reply Lily with her sweet smile,

Zergan looked at Lily in disbelief, the girl he once saw as a small child with waist-length hair, now already seen as a very graceful and beautiful adult woman.

"How are you??"

"I'm good, it's been a long time Zergan!"

Episode 45's

"It's been 4 years yeah, you've changed a lot",

"That's because I'm 20 years old, I have to learn to be a good, charismatic noblewoman",

"You're so proud, aren't you?thank goodness you're okay", though",

"of course!I'm so happy to be here on call from you",

"I miss you",

Zergan hugged Lily tightly, vaporizing her longing after 4 years had passed,

"Me too!", Lily returned Zergan's embrace happily, certainly only as an old friend.

"So, did you call me here??",

"Oh about that, actually the portal of each city-state is in trouble",

"Eh?the matter??but I could use it",

"It's a miracle you got through the portal, some time ago there was a case of a Baron who was about to go to the capital but still has not arrived,then the knights of the Palace tried to enter through the Baron's gate to the Capital and managed to return, strangely the Baron did not return and was not found in the portal",

Zergan's explanation made Lily stunned, she was happy to survive the trouble on the portal but on the other hand she was also terrified to pass through the portal,

"We have to find a problem on that portal, I'm afraid if one where development is in trouble",

*Where the builder is where it is used to create the magic tool tools that many people need

"Then we have to go underground to check where it is, right??",

"Right, we also have to ascertain how mana works in its container, if it does not work well we must immediately find fault in where it is",

"That's it, alright let's go there",

Lily and Zergan went straight to the basement that was hidden inside the Temple, and only the Great Priestess and the God-selected person knew.

Hundreds of their steps descended slowly, the air was moist, the pondation was starting to crack and a gigantic door that locked the Mana Builder portal and could only be opened with neutral magic,

"It seems like there is no neutral magic inside me, how is this?",

"Calm down, I'm a Saint!"

Zergan placed his palm on the giant door and closed his eyes, slowly a white light emanated from his hand and connected the pattern pattern on the door, which was a white light,

"Wahh, similar to the basement in the residence of the Everon region",

"really??I think this door can connect to the room you're referring to",

The door slowly opened and showed a cave-like room with a puddle that filled the room like a small pond, several colorful crystals that shone on the wall and the sky spoiled the eyes of the beholder,and the most amazing is the ruby-red giant crystal in the middle of a puddle of water,

"Beautiful!"

"You're right, I'm also the first time I came here",

"Eh?then how do you know this place??",

"The Great Priest had previously shown me the door of this place, he said I could open it at the right time, maybe today was the time",

"She seems to know what's going on in the future",

Lily and Zergan drew closer to the giant red crystal amidst the puddles of water, a strange sound came out from the crystal, and,

"This is the sound of the soul where, this crystal lives like a human being, the soul which regulates the performance of mana in it" explained Zergan,

Lily touched the crystal and tried to interact, the sound released was getting louder and clearer,

"What is this sound often heard??", asked Lily, Zergan who did not know about this crystal just shrugged both of his shoulders,

"This crystal is in pain.I feel strange magic in it, but somehow it feels familiar to me",

"How about you ask Vel?",

"Ah, I haven't met him yet.Sister Lucas said that Vel and Bel are busy with something that brother doesn't know, I'm afraid to bother them",

"Kel??",

"He helped Kak Ken abroad for research, surely he helped Kak Ken a lot because he was very smart",

"That's it, if..",

"Hum?",

"No, forget it, I'll look for clues in the library, but we're out",

"Eh?umm, fine", please",

Lily and Zergan came out of the room and sealed it back.Lily who was still curious about the word Zergan kept thinking about it, but she did not feel good if she had to ask Zergan.

"I'll go home now and look for clues in the library",

Lily was about to go home to Zergan and immediately looked for clues in the library,

"Are you going back to the territory now?"

"No, I'll be here for the next few weeks",

"So, you're gonna stay at Lucas's?",

"I've built a new mansion in the capital",

"I'll also come here if I find a clue",

"All right, I believe you",

"Then I say goodbye, see you Zergan!",

"See you, Cika",

After saying goodbye to Zergan, Lily immediately went home to her mansion and planned to immediately look for clues in the library.

Arriving at the mansion, Lily was amazed to see a magnificent mansion with 4 floors built using beautiful white marble, high pillar pillars that support the roof, flower garden and fountain in the front yard, which was built using a beautiful white marble,it had a gate so big and luxurious, and there was still a back garden Lily hadn't even reached yet,

"Wait what the hell is this?.I asked that it be built simple,k-why is it this grand?..",

A man in his 50s in a maid's shirt and several female servants greeted Lily at the gate,

"Welcome Madam, we've been waiting for you.Include me, Jeremy, the manager of the mansion Mrs Marchioness Gradina",

"A-anu.seems like I've said that the construction of my mansion should not be made too grand.(this is even more magnificent than the mansion of Grand Duke Everon!)",

"This is the request of His Majesty, he said he would add a little bit to the Madam's mansion",

"A LITTLE MAN?!!?",

Jeremy says it all while smiling beaming the series, another acquisition Lily was in heavy shock because of His Majesty's orders about the little part, the little part,

'Ugh.when my original plan was only one-third part of this mansion.but how else..'

Lily did not want to bother anymore if it was the Emperor's will, just go in to rest and did not have time to review the part of the mansion, but,

"Miss, do you want ice tea??",

"What's?yes, please yes..",

"Good!",

Lily sat in her study chair while waiting for the tea that Rina had brought her, and a letter was on her desk, no sender or family crest,

"Well, let me take a break",

Lily put the letter in the drawer, then put her head on the table.His eyes slowly closed and finally fell asleep, and,

"..ka!",

"... Nick!",

"Mica!",

"Help me, Sika!",

Lily immediately woke up from her sleep after experiencing that short dream.The voice of a girl called her by asking for help,

"Who is that?.The voice is not foreign.. Ugh, my head is dizzy..",

Lily's vision began to blur, she could not see clearly, her head was very sick, the world seemed to spin.About a long time later, someone knocked on the door of Lily's study, Lily,

"Mrs, this is Jeremy",

"Come in..",

Jeremy walked in and was surprised to see Lily's pale face,

"Mrs, are you okay?!",

"I'm okay.just a little tired",

"You should not overextend yourself.your health is also important.."

"I'm fine, just calm down, so what's up Jeremy??",

"Mr Grand Duke Everon is waiting for you up front, he's waiting for Madam",

Lily's eyes were round, she ran out to the first floor to meet Lucas,

"M-lady!!you can fall!!",

'I finally met my sister!',

Arriving at the stairs, Lily stopped as soon as she saw the figure of a dashing, tall, slightly long black-haired man tied up and bright green eyeballs, bright green in color,

"Sister..",

Lucas looked directly at the voice of Lily who called him, he was astonished to see Lily's change that was very pronounced, he was surprised,

"Lily?",

"SILLY!!" Lily ran down the stairs to Lucas,

"Wait a minute don't wait!?" Lily immediately hugged Lucas without aba, Lucas was surprised by Lily's behavior that immediately embraced him, but he could not say anything else and returned Lily's embrace, returning home,

"I miss you so much, brother!",

"Yes, I miss you a lot too, thank goodness you're okay",

"Sister also looks healthy, I'm happy to see sister again after 4 years.", he said..",

"You've changed a lot, yes, your height has increased a little, you're really like a noble lady",

"Hehe, of course it adds up!",

"What.you.feel.more.good..",

Lily could not hear Lucas' words, her vision blurred, and her head hurt,

"Lily..are you okay..?",

'I can't listen to you brother..'

Lily fell limp, but Lucas swiftly caught her.Lucas was very surprised once Lily fell and was unconscious,

"Lilly?! Wake up!!LILY?!"

Seriate..
