บท 290: Solomon's Message

The herb grew hungry for Arthur's powers, trying to feed on them more by weakening its barrier. This was the chance that Arthur had hoped for and he reached out to the herb while holding Princess Dia's hand. 

They were met with some resistance, but the barrier was weaker than it was before. Thus, they managed to inch closer to the herb, allowing Dia to bask in its curative powers more. 

The frosting on her eyelids began to disappear as she closed her eyes. Her two icicles, or ears, started glowing an orange hue that gave a warm feeling. 

However, all things come to an end. That was the way life worked, but it came too quickly for Dia's moment of reprieve. The herb pushed her away after it had its full and the barrier grew stronger. 

"No!" Dia's tone was desperate as she reached out with her other hand, but the herb made sure to protect herself. It had realized that Dia was using its powers, making it go defensive.
