Grit's expression also shifted to one of surprise; she was probably contemplating the same thing as Artur. Clearing her throat, Grit spoke up, "Yes, Your Highness, that's correct. Mana Stone. It's a magical stone capable of storing mana within it."
"A stone that can store mana?" Prince Moku's forehead creased in confusion.
He gestured, and an arion approached the three iron boxes. The arion picked up one of the mana stones and examined it. Then, turning to Prince Moku, he confirmed, "He's right, Your Highness. This stone indeed contains mana. The mana doesn't seep out; it's like it's confined within the stone."
Surprise rippled through the arion gathered in The Great Hall. Artur glanced at them, wondering what was going on.
"Gupita, is it that there are no mana stones in the Wilwatikta Kingdom?" Robert inquired.
Gupita shook her head. "No, this is the first time I've seen mana stones too," she added.
