章節 4: Let her Live or Die

They decided to keep her on the island for a few days, attempting various methods to awaken her evil side, but all their efforts proved futile.

Initially, they tried to provoke her by putting her in danger, hoping her evil side would surface in self-defense. One day, while she was playing with Hao in the garden, they sent a fierce lion her way. However, Hao, aware of the situation, disappeared the moment he sensed the danger.

As everyone secretly watched, anticipating the outcome, something unexpectedly strange unfolded.

Upon hearing the lion's roar, Mia calmly turned towards it, her confidence unwavering. Unfazed, she stepped forward, using her teleportation magic to effortlessly reach the lion. To everyone's surprise, she gently stroked the lion's face, and miraculously, the ferocious beast grew calm, sitting peacefully in front of her.

In a gesture of trust, the lion raised its massive paw and offered it to Mia, acknowledging her as an unexpected ally.

With the lion's paw in her hand, Mia cast a mysterious spell, causing the lion to vanish into thin air.

The Magical Beasts initially suspected her of using evil powers, but to their surprise, there was no trace of darkness. Instead, the very ground where Mia stood became infused with the essence of nature magic, showcasing her true benevolent nature.

The enchantment lingered for a while before fading away. Upon thorough investigation, the magical beasts uncovered the lion's whereabouts. It had been transported to the land of the Magical Griffins, reunited with its family, all thanks to Mia's extraordinary magic.

Upon delving into the lion's memories, the magical beasts discovered that its ferocity had stemmed from pain and the heart-wrenching separation from its family.

Mia, with her compassionate heart, had not only healed the lion but also reunited it with its kin through her teleportation magic.

The magical beasts now understood the vital role Mia played in their existence, recognizing her as a beacon of compassion and harmony.

Although her father's demeanor changed upon her return, her mother remained cruel, a stark contrast to the kindness Mia had shown to all beings, magical or otherwise.

On her tenth birthday, a tragic incident caused her to lose the memories of the last five years. When she was twelve, both her parents tragically passed away in a car accident, leaving her to care for her two younger siblings, who were only nine years old.

Ever since the day she lost her memory, nightmares haunted her, but after her parents' death, the nightmares intensified. In these distressing dreams, a mysterious boy would always appear, slipping away whenever she asked his name, leaving her surrounded by towering flames of fire, amplifying her sense of dread and helplessness.

In her dreams, the boy's face remained elusive, appearing only from behind, leaving Mia in a state of perpetual mystery.

Even her loyal familiar, deeply connected to her soul, was left in the dark about the incident, his memories clouded due to Mia's amnesia.

Despite the challenges, Mia eventually ascended to the position of ruler among the Magical Beasts. Under her reign, they thrived, considering her the finest Chi ruler the family had ever seen, despite her tender age of twelve. Her wisdom and compassion endeared her to the magical beings she governed.

PRESENT DAY___

Arriving at the Magical Island, Mia inhaled the refreshing air and smiled, appreciating the timeless beauty of nature. "May this beauty of nature last forever," she whispered, acknowledging the island's enchanting aura.

With purpose, she made her way to the Magical Conference Hall. Habitually, she was the first to arrive, a testament to her punctuality and respect for the proceedings. Unlike most rulers, she had no qualms about waiting, understanding the importance of every attendee's presence.

Days before the conference, she had instructed all leaders to document their issues on paper and submit them to the Conference Hall. In her meticulous approach, Mia spent the entire day before the conference studying these problems, dedicating herself to finding thoughtful solutions, ensuring the upcoming discussions were productive and meaningful.

Lately, Mia found herself overwhelmed with work due to the unfortunate deaths of several Magical Beasts caused by a mysterious disease.

The Magical Island, a sanctuary of diverse animal species, held a peculiar charm — it was exclusively inhabited by the Magical Beast's leaders, including Mia. Strangely, no other beings shared the island with them.

In a bold move during her rule, Mia had dismissed all the servants and guards that once populated the island. She believed in the power of self-reliance. Spread across the island, the magnificent Magical Lake stood at its heart, its waters possessing incredible healing properties, a precious resource for the Magical Beasts in their times of need.

Encircling the Magical Lake stood a majestic palace, an architectural marvel from ancient times that had been meticulously renovated over the years. With the passage of time, the palace had been transformed, embracing modern changes while preserving its historical charm.

In the north of the palace lay the Conference Hall, where Mia and the leaders of the Magical Beasts gathered for essential discussions. To the east, the Great Magical Arena stood proudly, a training ground where magical beings refined their powers. Here, potential leaders were tested, their abilities examined amidst the crackling energy of the arena.

Heading south led to the heart of healing, the Magical Healing Centre, reminiscent of a human hospital. Crafted Magical Medicines were stored here, ready to treat any Magical being in need. Mia's compassionate rule ensured that the injured or ailing found solace within these walls.

On the western side, the Magical Residence stood as a testament to the island's thriving community. Though no servants or guards resided on the island, it thrived under Mia's watchful eye. Vibrant and well-maintained, the island was a haven for its magical inhabitants, thanks to the benevolent presence of Mia and the esteemed leaders of the Magical Beasts.

Taking charge of the island and the palace, Mia accepted the responsibility of their maintenance. The leaders of the Magical Beasts assisted her willingly, their collective effort ensuring the island's prosperity. Following Mia's directive, the leaders refrained from bringing guards or servants, reserving this privilege only for those who had committed crimes or required treatment due to illness.

As evening descended, the Magical Beasts Leaders convened. They approached Mia in unison, their voices resonating, "Greetings to Princess Chi."

Mia rose, reciprocating their respect, "Greetings to all of the Magical Beast Leaders."

Seated around the table, Mia remained standing, orchestrating the gathering with a simple wave of her hand. Glasses filled with a mysterious drink materialized in front of each leader. With the room charged with tension, Mia settled back, engrossed in her papers, while the leaders exchanged glances, anticipation hanging thick in the air.

"It's the drink you all usually enjoy. Just drink it," she said, her voice firm, her eyes still fixed on the papers spread out before her.

The leaders followed her instructions, raising their glasses in unison. After the last drop was savored, the glasses vanished, leaving only the echo of their actions in the room.

With a resounding thud, Mia slammed the papers onto the table, her determined gaze meeting theirs.
