As we walked, our hands entwined with Aenons I looked up to see his face. All though he said he wasn’t sad it was blank and he wasn’t as chatty as usual.

“Aenon, what kind of beast was that?” I ask to lighten the mood. He took a moment before responding.

“It’s a beast called Hanavara, it’s a magical beast. But the mages will explain more to you” he spoke bluntly and kept an expressionless face. 

‘He must be really angry with me’

As we approached a closed off room I felt a cool breeze hit my skin, looking up I noticed Fawn and Larson taking rest.

“Greetings your highnesses” Fawn bows while standing up, Larson had a cold towel over his face which is probably why he didn’t greet us.

“How are you feeling? Has your temperatures gone down?” She asks while feeling our heads.

“It’s fine now, I just wanted to see how the animal is doing!” I smiled brightly towards her, she pulled a weird expression before she responded.

“Animal! HA! That thing is a beast and a deadly one at that” Larson laughs while pulling the towel off his damp face.

“Larson!” Fawn shouts to shut him up.

“There’s no point in lying, I don’t even know why you saved that thing, it should have been killed” he mumbles which caused Fawn to smack the back of his head. She sighed deeply before speaking.

“Your highnesses, the Hanavara beast is a decedent's off wolves, all though it might not seem scary now, they grow three times the size of a normal one and have huge strength, stamina and agility! They prey on anything they can get their paws on!” She speaks facts.

‘Hmmm’

“It’s only a baby, but one day it will grow into a ravaging adult!” Larson comments again.

I took a breath thinking about how scary this beast really could be, it was only a baby and was found far away from its original home, why was it running away and what from?

“I want to keep it” I spoke proudly which caused Larsons and Fawns mouth to fly open.

“Princess I don’t think that’s a good idea” Fawn stutters on her words before Larson interrupts.

“You're crazy! That thing is a living killing machine! It will kill everyone you care about and then ki-

“Enough!” Aenon commands which causes silence to fall into the room.

“Can the beast be trained?” He comments again, there was a small silence before Fawn replied.

“No one has ever tried Sir Aenon” 

“Well then at least let the princess try” he says again.

“But princess you will have to promise, if it shows any sign of danger towards you or any royal family member. We will have to kill it” he bluntly speaks while rubbing my head.

“I promise! I will work really hard and I will make sure it’s not evil!” I yell while throwing my hands together, Aenon looks up at the mages before they slowly agree.

“Would you like to see him?” Fawn asks with a small smile.

“It’s a boy! Of course!” I cheer while grabbing Chance's hand and pulling him along. We all entered a small room where a magic cage was sitting around the poor animal. Looking closer I noticed he was backed up into the corner of it and shivering on the spot.

‘He must be so scared’

I moved closer to the cage which caused him to let out a small growl. Unamused by his behaviour I sat next to the cage.

“He must be scared.” Chance mumbles while taking a seat as well.

‘Hmm what can I do…’

“Fawn, as I have the god of magic power, does that mean I can use anytype of magic?” I ask.

“Yes princess,you can use any and all magic”

“Wait! You're not thinking of trying to use your magic to communicate?” Larson comments loudly.

“You haven’t even practiced! how will you be able to use your magic!”

I ignored his words and threw my hands together and slowly closed my eyes, breathing deeply I tried to feel for the mana inside of me. Although I’m not sure it will work, I remember from my previous life how to move mana around the body.

“Hecate” I whisper. I suddenly felt the feeling of warmth surrounding my body. As the other watched they saw black smoke slowly surrounding me, all though it looked scary it was quite calming. I soon felt a hand on my shoulder and I knew she was here.

“Child, what can I help you with?” She asks kindly.

“Is there anyway I can communicate with him?” I ask while pointing in the direction of the scared beast. She looks in the direction of it before cocking her head to the side.

“You're really one of a kind,” she smiled.

“Look into his eyes and think deeply about what you want to say, if you try your hardest it should work” she spoke while patting my head.

‘Okay I can do this’

Looking back into the beast's eyes I watched his scared eyes stay on mine. I thought deeply about letting him know I will protect him, he’s safe and he doesn’t need to be scared. I was thinking so hard I didn’t realise Hecate had already left, I was alone and now had to prove I had power.

Slowly the beast started shaking his head, he was probably confused by the fact he could hear my voice. The more I concentrated, a purple glow started to form around us.

“Wow a purple aura” Fawn mumbled quietly. 

I watched as the once fearful beast's eyes grew heavy, stumbling on his own little feet and finally laying down into a deep slumber.

“You put him to sleep?” Chance asks awkwardly, I turn to face him with a puckered lip and my arms crossed.

“I didn’t mean to! I was trying to tell him not to be scared” I pouted which caused Chance to panic thinking that I was angry at him.

“It’s a good thing he fell asleep princess, it means he was comfortable enough to” Fawn smiled while kneeling beside me to evaluate the beast.

“So what are you going to call it?” Aenon asks, now interested in the beast, I completely forgot we had to name it. Grabbing Chance's hands I got his attention.

“What should we name him!” I ask brightly which causes a small pink tint to appear.

“Ahh, anything fine Amaris” he mutters under his breath.

‘Something that is related to both is us, hmmmm’

“Got it!” I yell with excitement. Everyone stopped to listen to my answer.

“Murasakino, and we can call him Mura for short!” I cheered which caused a few heads to cock to the side.

“Princess, how do you know the ancient language!” Fawn speaks with a shock on her face. 

‘I forgot that language is actually around here’

One thing with having lived many lives, though I can not remember the life before the last, my soul, body and mind always remembers languages, speech and other things.

“It’s an ancient language?” I ask while awkwardly looking to the side. She looks at me with a brow raised before nodding her head in understandment to not press the matter anymore.

“The name Murasakino means purple, I’m guessing you picked purple because of Prince Chances eyes and your aura?” She smirked towards me. I awkwardly looked away and faced Chance, his beautiful eyes were glistening towards me.

“Do you like it?” I hummed towards him in happiness. A small smile appeared and he nodded now facing the beast with genuine excitement.

Suddenly I heard someone approaching the door, looking up I noticed it was one of Chance's knights which could only mean, it was time to go home.

“Prince Chance, the Empress has told me to escort you to the front as you need to depart” he ordered while standing awkwardly. Now turning towards his face, I noticed his excitement was now dull and depressed. I shuffle over to him and grab his hand making him look at me instantly.

“I cannot wait to visit your empire, so make sure you wait for that day” I giggled which caused a small smile to appear on his face, soon followed by a nodd.

……

As we all waited at the front to see off the Ryuu family, my heart stung. In the past week I had grown so close to Chance and even Heru, and the fact I cannot leave this place until I can control my power is even more annoying.

‘That won’t be till I’m at least 10 or even older’ I huff and bite my inner cheek. Bringing me out of my thoughts I noticed Chance approaching me before he boarded his carriage, he slowly stopped in front of me before kneeling on one knee and kissing the back of my hand.

“Thankyou Princess, I will cherish the memories I gained here in this palace, I promise to see you every month” he spoke politely, it was weird seeming him this formal, the shy boy I saw who hid behind the Empress was now on one knee.

“Have a safe journey, I will be waiting” I smiled at him which caused him to chuff at my answer. Now watching him stand and bow towards the royal family, the boy who I grew close with was now leaving.

“Are you sad your boyfriend is leaving Amaris” Fumika teased while poking between my brow, I didn’t understand her words? 

‘Boyfriend?’

“You're funny, we’re just friends” I turned my nose up as a response, and now I realised I need to learn more about my power and get stronger so I can protect everyone.
