Rebirth Of The Duke's Daughter

Chapter 57

"Well, to be straightforward, Mila... may have gotten into contact in some way with her next beast. She is still young and needs to recover, but we do not know the full details until she tells us herself about the whole incident that recently occurred. For now, we can only wait, but I believe the Mana Hunters are also a part of the issue with Mila." ZH didn't know if it was true but he didn't want Mila in any trouble that could possibly await her in the near or far future ahead of them.

"Mana Hunters?" Emmett questioned since he knew about the group, but he had never truly encountered any due to his one and only duty to protect his young lady ever since he first met her at a very young age. If he hadn't met her, then he would not have met Sara resulting in their intimate growing relationship. "Has this matter always been happening here in this kingdom or increased by any chance?" Emmett had heard of the Mana Hunter's suspicious activity along with their evil plans to use against the nobles who were born with mana being targeted amongst society.

Aiken nodded, agreeing to Emmett's question since it was true that Mana Hunters would appear but the numbers had grown more and more over the years that they had been roaming freely with no one to handle them growing exceedingly. "It is not only here, but in many other kingdoms. Do you perhaps have an idea about this or maybe even a clue?" Aiken needed all the sources or information he could get about the troublesome Mana Hunters who were gaining more unnecessary mana for their own greed.

"We've never really encountered any, but I have heard of similar cases in Mireraweth kingdom which the emperor overlooks as if it's nothing to worry about since he believes that they will never be able to defeat those who were born with mana. Things can change and those Mana Hunters can change the course of history, even the future with what they are doing. I do not understand their goal besides the thought that they may be trying to build themselves a civilization where they will not be looked down on by nobility people any longer." Emmett had heard of the possible rumors and motive of the Mana hunters from place to place with very little encounter for the information that he gathered but they could all just be rumors.

"I can see why Mila puts so much trust in you." ZH looked at Emmett who was surprised by how he was praised by the supposedly 'friend' of Mila's. "Let's make sure to get along in the future." He smiled with Emmett knowing how much of a big issue it would be if Duke Reynard heard those words from ZH. He could easily be killed for being praised by a stranger that involved Mila in such a topic or words.

He could even imagine the Duke angrily trying to kill the man who was claiming his daughter, but he knew that ZH was still not a fellow to overlook easily. 'You do not know how intimidating the Duke would be if he knew you were in contact with his dearly treasured daughter.' Emmett did not want to think about the tense atmosphere that Duke Reynard would create around them.

"I would like us all to discuss something involving the Mana Hunters. I will not ask you to join the upcoming war, but only to give your opinions and thoughts about the Mana Hunters that seem to be a bigger issue at the moment." Aiken wanted full cooperation so that they would stop the Mana Hunters before the war started in three years.***"Where am I?" Mila looked around once more to see her surroundings were still a bit blurry. Taking some time before her eyes could adjust to the strange place that she was currently in or at.

[Mila?!] Vivian appeared in her real unicorn form and trotted over to Mila with a concerned aura. Rubbing her muzzle against Mila's cheek to make sure that she was alright and not fading. [Did you sense Skye earlier?!]

"I did. I didn't know where she was though, which I found very strange when she tried to get into contact with me. She spoke to me, but she is probably in danger." Mila felt the uneasy feeling again with loneliness and sadness altogether.
