Jessica then sat down, drinking some of the orange juice she had squeezed for herself, sighed, took a deep breath, and said, "Blaze, you tell me, what happened that you're behaving like this?"


Blaze was a little uneasy about being pointed out, but since he was being questioned, he had to respond, so he said, "Yesterday... after eating that Devil's fruit, we lost consciousness... leaving you unguarded all in the middle of the night…when someone could've trespassed in our area… we are very sorry, Jessica."


Blaze completed his words but couldn't help getting even more nervous as he waited for Jessica's.

But contrary to his expectation, he heard her chuckle as she said, "Sometimes, your way of thinking is really beyond my understanding. Firstly, you guys should take care of yourself first because your faces look as if you've just come from pulling an all nighter in front of a screen, so go and wash your faces to get your minds back in place, and secondly, you guys don't have to worry about my security because Cerra was right here to keep me company."


Jessica got up and went toward Blaze and pulled him up with his arm, making him stand, followed by Levi, and pulled them to the stone basin.

Then she went toward Ell and pulled his arm, but unlike others, he refused to comply with her, so Jessica forcefully turned him by his shoulder to see that his chest was covered in some hickeys that he was trying hard to hide, and when he saw Jessica looking at those marks, he couldn't control his emotions and hugged her and started sniffling.


He knew that it was Blaze who left those marks on him because when he woke up with the severe headache, he saw him lying on top of him. Because of this, they both had a lethal fight in the morning, but for some reason they were not able to use their powers or their strength.

Ell would've already healed himself or Blaze would've healed him only if they were still able to use their power, which made both of them fall into an abyss because their strength was the only thing that made them different from all other males and something that they relied on the most.


Jessica couldn't help but worry when she saw Ell act like this because she assumed he was stressed out because of the hickeys, which were undoubtedly Blaze's fault, but when she looked at Blaze's guilty-filled face, she couldn't help but sigh because, in reality, no one was at fault after all, they were both drunk, so she caressed his back to console him.


After sometime, Ell did calm down and wash his face but still couldn't get rid of the worry, so he came and sat down beside Jessica, who was making a vegetable soup.

He leaned on her shoulder and asked, "Jessica, would you hate me if I lost all of my strength?"


"Why?" she replied while stirring the soup.


"It looks like the Beast God has punished me for my deeds, and I have lost all my power," he said, trying hard to utter every word.


His words indeed shocked Jessica, so she asked him to explain, to which he told her that he is now just like a beast with a single power level, merely relying on the physical strength he is left with.


Jessica was worried but didn't know what to say in order to console him, so she caressed his head and said, "It's alright.

So what if you lost your power? It's not like you can't get it back. I'm sure if you try hard enough, you can get it back just like you got it, so Prince Eleanor should stop worrying."


Ell nodded his head and slowly whispered, "You won't hate me, right?"


"Don't worry, I won't," Jessica replied and turned to stir the soup again when Blaze and Levi, who earlier went outside after washing their faces, came inside. When Levi saw Ell sitting so close to Jessica, he couldn't help but clench his fist as he took some heavy steps toward him, grabbed his shoulder, and dragged him away.
