Remarried Empress

r Assistant?”

Before she could ask, ‘What happened to you?’ He fell to the floor with a thud.
It occurred in the blink of an eye.
The sound of his head hitting the ground echoed violently, like an old tree falling.

“Asuya!”

The court mage ran in terror to his disciple and shook his shoulders desperately.

“Asuya! What’s wrong? Hey!”

The court mage repeatedly shouted his disciple’s name before nervously placing his hands on the desk.
Without thinking, he took several books and placed them under his disciple’s head.
He unbuttoned the stifling buttons and rolled up his sleeves, but he was still unconscious.

“Evely, get the doctor!”

“Yes!”

Evely, surprised and bewildered, hurried out of the laboratory.

The mana stone in the necklace, which was thrown to the ground, glowed and darkened, but neither Evely nor the court mage had seen the scene.

The fallen disciple woke up after a whole day.

Although he had hit his head hard when he fell, fortunately nothing happened to him.
He had a bruise around his shoulder blade, but it was not serious either.

A horrible truth awaited him.
The loss of his mana.

He had been competent enough to be an assistant to a court mage, and was full of passion for magic.
However, in this short period of time, all his mana had disappeared.

“It can’t be!”

The assistant fainted again from the shock.

Upon being informed of the incident, Sovieshu went to visit him immediately and did his best to comfort the desperate assistant.

The assistant was touched by the emperor’s personal support, but he could not stop from falling into despair.
For him, who had lived as a mage all his life, he felt empty at the loss of mana.

Sovieshu promised the assistant,

“I will definitely find out the cause and return your mana.”

In fact, he worked on it relentlessly from that day on.

He first sent for Evely and the court mage, as well as the other assistants, to hear each one’s version of what happened.

Although they all witnessed the same, each would remember it from their own perspective.
Therefore, Sovieshu intended to put together an objective account of the different points of view.

Having reached this conclusion, Sovieshu called Evely again.
She had brought the necklace that originated this incident, so she had to clarify where it came from.

“Who ‘exactly’ gave you the necklace?”

“The dean.”

“He didn’t say anything special when he gave it to you?”

“He just said that wearing the mana necklace could help me feel the mana…”

After Evely left, Sovieshu called one of his secretaries and ordered,

“Go to the academy to talk to the dean.
Find out about the provenance of Evely’s necklace.”
