Within a private chamber inside the royal palace, King Maximillian and his most trusted Magi had gathered.
Queen Amira sat beside him at the head of the table. On either side were their children, Marlow and Anna. To the prince's left sat Kaspar York. Duke Tanner Bray sat beside the princess, and Duke Tostig Quinn beside him.
After everyone had gathered and the chamber was sealed shut, King Maximillian finally began. He had a faint smile resting on his face, but the pride and happiness in his ruby eyes were unmistakable.
"Firstly, I would like to announce that my daughter has advanced to the Mana Core Rank," he said in an even voice. "Ignisra is now home to two Mana Core Magi."
Prince Marlow and Queen Amira had already gotten to know about this wonderful piece of news the previous day. Needless to say, they were immensely glad to learn of it.
The rest of the Magi, however, were only just learning about it. And without a doubt, they were thunderstruck by this revelation.
