The city streets of Islemicia were packed with people of many races and ethnicity's, from elves to fairies, and hybrids.

They pushed each other to get closer Palace, where the former Queen would crown the half-blooded royalty and make him King. Nevertheless, princesses, princes, kings, and queens from all over the continent have come to see the sight of the King becoming anew. They began celebrating, stores and armor shops were decorated with banners and fairy lights, though they didn't shine as bright as it was still early afternoon.

The entrance of the Palace began to flood with royal blooded people inside. They mingled while enjoying the magnificent sights. Rein stood at the balcony watching them flood in like water. Aola stood beside her brother and watched attentively, her eyes lingered.

Rein glanced at his sister and a smirk appeared on his attractive face."Why my darling little sister, who is it that you seek out? Would you like for Gulimore to call him?" Aola flinched and she quickly turned toward her brother shaking her hands intensely in defense. "W-W-What are you talking about brother! I was just intrusive is all!..." Rein's eyebrow twitched in doubt, he sighed and turned away from his sister.

"If you say so" Rein's voice was smoky and smooth as he spoke. Aola breathed out with relief.

Kubia and Leigh came from the right hall to be greeted by many people. Mimi and Rayla remained near Leigh, as it was quite crowded. Her nerves started to kick in, a servant passed by with glasses of champagne Leigh immediately took a glass as he continued to walk.

Mimi and Rayla watched nervously as Leigh took a sip "I don't know any of these people Mimi" She whispered in the girls ear making sure no one could hear her distress. Rayla was surprised watching the young girl drink the wine, not that it wasn't normal.

Leigh wanted to spit the wine out, but she had no choice to swallow it and only picked it up out of nervousness.

"Why did I do this to myself!" Leigh's expression remained blank as she took another sip while her thoughts ran wild. Kubia watched the girl from the side of her eye while she conversed with another princess.

Rein's eyes were specifically eyeing the girl intensely

What did this pet think she was doing?

He watched her take another sip of the wine, Rein couldn't help but feel annoyed, she was like a child to him. Watching her drink made him awfully uncomfortable and he hates being uncomfortable.

Leigh has finally finished the champagne, it wasn't as bad as she thought even though it was her first drink. It wasn't like Leigh didn't drink before, it was just that she didn't enjoy it. Thankfully she wasn't a lightweight and her nerves relaxed from the small tinge of the drink.

"Hello, I am Prince Vortimore from the Hailent Kingdom, it is nice to meet you" He took Leigh's hand and kissed it gently, Leigh tried to keep a straight face. "Greetings Prince Vortimore, I am Aleighya Convalark, Royal Grand Healer of Islemicia" Leigh was proud of herself, speaking so calmly.

She curtsied

"Wow! That is very Grand to hear!" His personality sparked, Leigh's lips curl into a bashful smile. Mimi could see that the girls face was starting to redden.

"Is it the alcohol?" Mimi thought to herself

It was certainly the alcohol, even though this girl believed she wasn't a lightweight she had already felt lightheaded.

"I-I-Impossible someone must've spiked the drinks!"

Oh God...someone spiked her drink

When? When did it happen?

Leigh's hand started to twitch nervously as she tried to listen to the princes inquiry's. "Ah yes! I see..if you would excuse me for a moment" Leigh said politely, Mimi and Rayla followed the blushing girl.

Rein watched her closely "Foolish girl" Aola looked confused at his words. "What did you say Brother?" She asked curiously. Rein continued to watch Leigh rush through the crowd.

"Nothing, where is Jean?" Rein asked to stir away the conversation, Aola clapped her hands together "Right! She must be looking for Liam and Charles!" Rein's lips twisted into a wicked grin.

"Great.."

Mimi and Rayla carefully placed Leigh on the small loveseat, they were currently in a private room.

"Lady Leigh are you okay? Maybe the wine was too much..." Mimi said in a kind manner, Leigh rebutted

"No someone surly spiked my drink...I feel fine just a bit dizzy"

Rayla sighed "I'll go retrieve some water for you Leigh..." The maid left the room and closed the doors shut. Leigh felt her temperature rise.

She had no choice but to heal herself, Mimi's eyes widened as she watched flames of light wrap around Leigh's body lightly, her aqua eyes turned into a bright orange. The light slowly pierced deeper into her skin, she closed her eyes as the flow of magic entered her body.

"Leigh are you sure you wanna do that?" Her moms voice echoed through her head.

"What do you mean?"

"You continue to heal yourself the magic is gonna reject you and you'll explode..."

Leigh's magic heavily dispersed throwing her and Mimi against the wall strongly, Leigh's eyes slightly opened and returned to her natural eye color.

"M-M-Mimi?" Leigh felt her head get hazy as she tried to stand, Leigh toppled over to the side falling back onto the ground. "Mimi!" Leigh pushed herself up desperately trying to reach the maid, who was launched to the other side of the room.

Rayla walked in with the water and glass hit the ground immediately. "Lady Leigh!!" She rushed over to Leigh's side "Not me! Go to Mimi!" Rayla stopped halfway and she looked at the maid who was leaned against the wall. "O-okay" Rayla walked over to Mimi.

She was breathing, but knocked out cold. Rayla has to wake her up, she had to see if Mimi's spinal cord was hurt or even broken.

She slapped the girl

"Owww!" Mimi's eyes popped open from the sudden impact across her face, Rayla sighed. "Mimi can you feel your legs?" Mimi nodded she stood up perfectly fine, while Leigh struggled on the floor. "I don't understand?" Rayla said.

Leigh's bun had came loose releasing her long dark brown hair. She clenched her fist, Mimi and Rayla immediately went over to assist her.

"I'm sorry Mimi, I don't know what happened..." Leigh's eyes started to well up with tears. Mimi laid the girls head unto her lap. Rayla wiped away her tears.

The private room had tinges of orange smoke plastered across the walls, glass was on the floor, and a couch was brightened with sparks of light.

"Oh my...how are we gonna explain this.." Rayla said nervously still trying to comfort the crying girl.

Mimi sighed

____________________________________

If any of you are confused about Mimi not having a spinal injury I will explain.

Leigh's burst of magic will always represent healing, her magic can't be used for anything but that...so while Mimi did get blasted into the wall, the magic was absorbed into her body allowing her to be protected.

I hope you understand a bit better now!
