Chapter 501 [501] The second year.

?[Supreme Dragon of Frost, Lanesha urges you to take her to the Jade Palace.]

"... Alright."

My initial excitement was drowned by Lanesha's consisted urging. I was incredibly happy that it had worked. But, Lanesha must have had a point for this.

"... Can I just take her like this?"

I questioned, I was still unfamiliar with how my domain worked. I didn't want to yell it's activation sequence and have an entire city from here. That would be disastrous and something I could never pay for.

Speaking about it, I really need to test a lot of things about it.

'What am I thinking about...?'

Shaking my head, I focused on the more important task. Treating Samantha. I need to make sure that she recovers without any mishap. The panacea phial should be enough but it would be good to trust Lanesha's judgement.

"How do I go there...with her?"

I asked, confused. I didn't want my soldiers there to consider her an enemy.

[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha suggests you just think of it, with her in your arms.]

"Alright."

Following Lanesha's instructions. I carefully picked Samantha up, the machines connected to her were disconnected, and I thought about the Jade Palace.

I closed my eyes, and focused... And Voil!

I opened my eyes and found myself inside the throne room. The giant serpent king was looking at me, and Samantha, with curious eyes.

"Don't attack her."

I said, just in case. If this thing went ballistic, it would be hard to stop it. I noticed Samantha s.h.i.+vering, and hurriedly cast thermal magic around her.

The Jade Palace is a cold place, I may not feel it, but that doesn't mean it's the same for others.

"Now where...?"

I muttered, waiting for Lanesha's guidance. However, The palace, as if it understood me, began to light up.

"... Right."

I sighed, I had forgotten about this feature. I followed the lights as I made sure Samantha was asleep. And fine.

Multiple times I went through the pain of checking her status with Dragon Eyes. And each time I sighed in relief when I saw it was still the same.

I don't know why I am so paranoid, I keep thinking that...maybe because I didn't use the entire bottle, the curse may appear again... Thankfully, I don't have to worry about that.

I opened a large door I hadn't ever seen before. This was where the lights had guided me.

Inside, I saw a large pool, and only that. The water inside the pool was cool, and had a strange l.u.s.tre I could not define.

"..."

I dipped my hand into it, and found it to be calm, soothing, and most importantly...warm.

Using Dragon eyes once again, I found that it was a pool of rejuvenation. One that could help with recovery.

'Ah.'

So this is why Lanesha told me to come here.

Slowly, after checking the depth of the pool, I lowered Samantha into a place where it wasn't too deep.

"...is it okay to leave her like this?"

[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha says it is fine. The longer she stays here, the better it is for her.]

"Alright."

Using the connection I had with my troops in my mind, I called over ten knights, and ordered them to protect Samantha, and help her. I ordered all my troops to consider her an ally, even a princess.

My only concern left would be Samantha freaking out when she woke up. So I had the smaller snakes survey the area all the time. If she woke up, they would inform me and I would rush over here.

[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha asks if you have any other business to attend too?]

In the room, I lay down on the cold floor and was surprised at this question.

"What do you mean? I only have to attend school. Not anything else."

[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha urges you to think more.]

"Think more? Maybe test this domain more, and consult Master a little bit?"

[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha remarks that you are an idiot.]

"...?"

Confused, I stood up, unable to understand what she meant.

"I get that a lot, especially from Sabrina and Maxwell, but I really don't think I am missing something."

I continued.

"And if I am, please enlighten this idiot?"

Surely, she must want me to do something. If not, I don't see any reason to continue or even initiate this discussion.

"Sigh...what is it?"

After her silence, I asked again, but I felt as if a pair of disapproving eyes were gazing at me.

Like the disappointed eyes of a mother, I scrambled to think about everything. And it finally occurred to me.

Looking at the Panacea, I gripped the bottle tightly and sighed.

"Sigh..."

The sigh soon changed into a smile, and I looked at Samantha

"Take care of her."

[Supreme Dragon of Frost, Lanesha promises no harm will befall her.]

I had said that to the troops, but this is nice.

I stepped outside the room, and went to the throne to finally exit the Jade Palace.

*******

[You owe me one.]

Elijah stared at the note, the message written within it was in a nice writing style.

"Alan, huh."

He knew who that writing reminded him of. This note was what was outside his room, along with a bottle.

He heard a knock outside and went to check it out. But he found no one outside except those two items, laying on the matt.

It was still a little hard for him to move.

"..."

He used his skills to check the information of the bottle, and muttered.

"... He really did it."

He had disconnected himself from the outside world for quite a while, so he was unaware of the uproar Alan had caused.

But, once he saw the bottle, and the note... It instinctively made him figure it out, who it was.

"d.a.m.n."

He said, still a little amazed. Moving his injured body outside his own room, he rushed towards his brothers' room. Where his family was most likely grieving.

"Thanks."

He resolved himself to repay this debt no matter what.
