Agustina screamed as Louis pressed a hand to her shoulder and channeled the Five Elemental Ki Energies into her body. She collapsed instantly, writhing and groaning in unbearable agony.
"A-Agustina?!"
Her mother rushed out of the kitchen, having watched in silence until now.
"W-What's happening?! Prince Louis, what have you done? Please have mercy on my girl! Has she offended you? Please forgive her!"
"Calm down. This was her choice."
"W-What?!"
"It's… my choice…"
Agustina slowly pushed herself up, kneeling before Louis as she fought through the pain, teeth clenched. Her Elven magic and Dwarven physique began to awaken under the strain.
The Five Elemental Ki surged powerfully, stirring all the dormant potential within the young noblewoman.
"A-Agustina? What's wrong? What happened?"
"I've decided to change my life—here and now, Mother!"
"…What?"
