Katherine ran to her daughter when she saw she was on the ground in Alex's arms.
Alex was not one to get in the way, so as soon as her mother grabbed her, he let her go.
"What happened? Why is she sprawled on the ground, Alexander?" Katherine growled.
Alex raised his hands, trying to pacify her.
"It's normal. I passed out too, when I formed mine. It's called mana exhaustion. Forming the mana lobe ate up all her mana, and she fainted. Much like if she had worked too hard. It's nothing dangerous. I was about to help her recover."
Katherine glared at him, hardly believing his words, but Violette nodded at her, confirming his words, and Katherine backed down.
"Then get to it. My daughter should never be on the ground like this."
Alex held back a chuckle as he understood the double meaning of her words.
Finally, back on schedule! There will be only one chapter again today, and probably for the next few days, while I recover, but at least they'll be on time XD
Sorry for the last week, and thank you for your patience and understanding :)
