Chapitre 195: Capture the Heart: Part-7

"P-Princess? Don't you have any healing potions?" Aether asked, his voice tinged with concern. He knew that someone as cunning as her would likely be well-prepared for such situations.

However, Aqualina shook her head slowly.

"I have some, but they won't work," she said, reaching into her pouch and pulling out a small bottle. She showed it to Aether, the liquid inside appearing dull and lifeless.

The liquid had lost its usual luminous quality, now resembling ordinary water rather than the potent potion it once was.

She explained, "As you know, these healing potions aren't perfect and have many side effects. They require Arcane energy to be effective, so without it, they're just... useless." Her voice trailed off, her frustration and helplessness evident.

Aether nodded in understanding. He set down his backpack and rummaged through it, eventually pulling out his own bottle.
