After the revelation of my father's support for the second prince and the subsequent shift in our family's political alliances, I found myself withdrawing from the outside world, seeking solace within the confines of our estate. It was a decision born out of a desire to focus on honing my magical abilities and preparing myself for the challenges that lay ahead.

With newfound determination, I immersed myself in the study and practice of my wind and water elemental magic. The memories of Astridelle's experiences provided invaluable insight into the techniques and methods I needed to master. My father, recognizing my dedication, assigned me a mentor to guide me on my journey towards mastery. I welcomed the opportunity with open arms, eager to learn from someone with years of experience and expertise.

However, as I eagerly awaited my mentor's arrival, I soon realized that his duties and responsibilities would delay his visit by a month or two. Despite the initial disappointment, I understood the importance of his missions and resolved to use the time wisely to prepare myself for his guidance.

In the solitude of my training, I found a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Each day was dedicated to perfecting my techniques and pushing the limits of my magical abilities. The peaceful surroundings of our estate provided the perfect backdrop for my practice, allowing me to focus my energies and channel the elements with precision and control.

Astridelle's body and core possess a remarkable affinity for elemental magic, making her an exceptional vessel for honing her magical abilities. From the moment I became aware of this innate gift, I was filled with a sense of awe and wonder at the possibilities that lay before me.

Her physical form, sculpted with grace and strength, seemed to resonate with the very essence of the elements. Each movement flowed effortlessly, as if guided by an unseen force that harmonized perfectly with the energies of nature. It was as if her body was designed specifically to channel and wield the elemental forces with precision and finesse.

But it wasn't just her physical attributes that set her apart. Astridelle's core, the core that now beats within me, pulses with a profound connection to the elemental realms. It's as if the very essence of her being is imbued with the raw power of the elements themselves, creating a synergy that transcends the boundaries of mere mortal capability.

This innate compatibility with elemental magic has opened up a world of possibilities for me. With each passing day, I delve deeper into the mysteries of the elements, exploring their nuances and unlocking their hidden potential within myself.

In the absence of my mentor, I found solace in the guidance and sessions with my parents. It was a privilege to train alongside them, witnessing firsthand the incredible mastery they possessed over elemental magic. Their titles as the strongest and most powerful mages in our country were not just honorary; they were earned through years of dedication and hard work.

Each session with my parents was a humbling experience, as I watched them effortlessly manipulate the elements with precision and finesse. Their expertise was evident in every spell they cast and every move they made, leaving me in awe of their abilities.

But what truly amazed me was their unwavering support and encouragement. Despite their busy schedules and responsibilities, they always made time to guide and spar with me, pushing me to reach new heights in my magical abilities.

Training with my parents was more than just honing my skills; it was a bonding experience that strengthened our family's connection. Through shared laughter and friendly competition, we grew closer as a family, united by our love for magic and our determination to excel.
