Nothing more happened between me and Zixane, beside engaging in kissing. We both slept after that, while holding her into my arms.

The next day, the news of the king Edward getting gravely injured apread far and wide and he will be recuperating for a while.

In truth, he lost all his powers, but I doubt that information will be spread though.

It has been said that he has closed all communication to outside world.

But maybe he is trying a method to get back his lose powers.

Those beings that were wuth him yesterday, they definitely weren't from this planet, and Setsuna did mention that he has betrayed this planet... I am sure he will take help from them.

His ascension must be related with them too.

Otherwise, it is hard for me to digest the fact that he ascended when many more much capable than him are still on rank 8.
