Inside Princess Runa's room, the atmosphere was tense, thick with the weight of secrets and revelations. Camilla, Valentina, and Neptunis stood beside Princess Arabella, their gazes fixed on the unconscious princess who lay upon her ornate bed. Her chest rose and fell with the rhythm of slumber, her features serene yet marred by the knowledge of her entanglement with Prince Drake's dark magic.

Camilla's gratitude toward Arabella was profound as she glanced at the fiery-haired princess. "Thank you for allowing us to enter, Arabella. We need to understand more about what happened to Princess Runa."

Arabella offered a reassuring nod, her crimson locks cascading around her shoulders. "Of course, Camilla. We're all in this together. We need to help Runa break free from Drake's influence."

Valentina, her tiny wings fluttering with anticipation, hovered near Runa's bedside. "Arabella, do you remember how you broke free from Prince Drake's control? It might provide clues on how to help Runa."

The moth fruit, a rare and powerful item among monsters, was used for evolution when a monster reached a certain level of power. It was a resource that was highly coveted and seldom seen."Flare!"

The hum of the elevator's ascent enveloped them in a brief moment of solitude.

Last time we talked, she had just lost Richard."Alvin's expression softened at the mention of Camilla. "She's doing much better now," he replied. "She's formed a contract with Neptunis and even mastered the art of lightning magic. It's incredible how resilient she is."Marshall's eyes widened in genuine amazement. "That'
