Nieve sighed as she left the "wall-climbing human containment zone" and rushed back to the castle while looking exhausted. She had to quickly report how things were going out there to the Queen, while she was sure she was busy, Nieve never expected her Queen to be in such a state whatsoever.
She looked utterly exhausted, with bags beneath her beautiful eyes, her face looked slightly older for some reason, and the color of her clothes, wings, and hair had become whiter or grayer, as if her radiance was drained out of her.
"Queen Titania…? A-Are you alright?!"
Nieve flew towards Titania, who quickly looked back at her while drinking a Mana Potion using a wooden straw.
"I-I'm fine, Nieve. Everything is… everything is alright…" Titania muttered. "I am so… so fine."
"No you're not fine at all!" Nieve cried. "Why do you look so exhausted, your majesty? Your Mana is being constantly drained…!"
