Margaritta had finished all the jobs of the day so she took an early break and left the guild with Dalia and Elena. She, Dalia and Dakota who were also the mistress of the Dayflower family were very good friends and like sisters. So they had the permission to enter the Dayflower estate anytime they wanted.
After entering the estate Dalia immediately wanted to go to her lab to start the creation process for whatever she was planning to make with the forest dragon's leaf, but Margaritta stopped her and told that first they were going to meet the clan leader and their friend Dakota.
Then Margaritta took Elena and Dalia to a guest parlour and asked one of her servants to notify the clan head about their visit. Very soon the door to the guest parlour was opened forcefully and a handsome looking male elf with silver hair and a beautiful and gentle looking female elf with green hair appeared. The male elf looked very excited where the female elf looked calm but her eyes were intense showing that she was actually not calm at all.
Dalia and Margaritta stood up and greeted the clan head and their friend Dakota and sat back down after the clan head told them to do so. Then the clan head introduced himself as Hendrick Dayflower and her wife who was Dakota Everwood. Elves did not have to change their last name after their marriage so that was also one of the differences between the human and the elvin cultures. Elena also introduced herself.
When the introduction was done, Hendrick was unable to wait anymore and asked about the Forest Dragon's Leaf. Dalia smiled a bit and took it out. Hendrick took it in his hand to check and then handed it over to his wife. Next he asked Dalia if now she would be able to make the medicine or not. And in answer she nodded her head with confidence. Seeing this Hendrick sighed with relief.
Dakota then handed the leaf back to Dalia and both she and her husband bowed to Elena to thank her. Elena told them that it was not a big deal and she was only fulfilling a mission for the guild and told them to raise their heads. Then she asked the couple about the situation for which they would need such a rare material like the Forest Dragon's Leaf. So, the husband and wife pair started to tell Elena about the situation. It was not a secret or anything and as their benefactor it was fine to let her know about it, that's what the couple thought.
...
Dakota, Margaritta and Dalia both were the top students of the Ioikashi National Institution. The young heir of the Dayflower family, Hendrick was also a popular student of that place as it was the highest institution of the Ioikashi kingdom.
As students, both Dakota and Hendrick fell in love with each other and got married soon after their graduation. Dakota started to help Hendrick in managing his domain with her great management skills. Her best friends, Margaritta and Dalia also followed her after she requested them a lot and one joined the adventurer guild as a special advisor and the other person buried herself in her alchemy research and became one of the best alchemists of the nation.
After being happily married for 20 years, Hendrick and Dakota welcomed their first offspring. She was a beautiful girl and was named Lily Dayflower. She was a smart and talented child who was loved by the nature itself and was able to control natural energy since her birth. Everyone was happy and their days were going peacefully.
When Lily was 10 years old, she suddenly awakened her inherent skill. This skill was also the reason for which she was able to use the natural energy. But being too talented was also a curse. As soon as this passive skill of her but activated, a large amount of natural energy flowed into her.
As only a ten year old child, Lily's physical body was unable to handle so much high level energy so she was almost on the verge of getting blown up. Hendrick, Dakota, Margaritta and Dalia all tried various methods to prevent this from happening but none of their methods were successful.
Hendrick asked the help of the royal family and even though the royal family was not able to cure the problem, that provided Hendrick with a cover and a bed. That bed was capable of absorbing and storing natural energy and the cover could slow down the flow of natural energy.
So, Lily's life was saved with those two items but the strain on her body was still too much and she was unable to wake up since that day and was in a comatose stage. After doing a lot of study and research, Dakota was able to find a medicine that could be a solution to this problem and the Forest Dragon's Leaf was the most important ingredient for this medicine.
...
Hearing that Elena understood the whole situation. Dalia also explained that the medicine she was talking about would be able to cover Lily's inside with a barrier made using the essence of a legendary Forest Dragon which would be able to naturally hinder the flow of the natural energy as the forest dragon was also able to produce natural energy by itself.
Elena then asked to take a look at Lily. Even though the medicine Dalia was creating would be able to wake Lily up, it would also weaken her truly strong skill. So she wanted to see Lily to find out if there was a better method to wake her up without sacrificing her potential within the scope of a level 300 individual.
No one had any problems with Elena wanting to see Lily. First of all, she was a S rank powerhouse. So if she really wanted to do something by force, no one would be able to stop her. Secondly, Elena was their benefactor and lastly after talking with her for such a long time, everyone had quite a lot of trust in Elena. She was just that charismatic.
Hendrick then took Elena to a room at the back of their estate. This was the place specially created to hinder the flow of natural energy around the area. Natural energies were everywhere and it was impossible to find a place with no natural energy, but it was possible for a place to have less concentrated natural energy than other places. That was exactly the type of place that the clan head had tried to artificially build.
Inside the room, a young girl was lying down on a very luxurious looking bed. That luxurious bed was the artifact that was capable of absorbing and storing natural energy. And the bed was covered by a transparent veil which was the cover that could block natural energy.
The young girl, Lily had green hair just like her mother but her face was more on the handsome side like her father. It did not look like she was in any kind of pain and anyone observing her would say that she was sleeping peacefully.
Elena went to the girl and put her hands on her forehead. Elena had already understood the girl's condition and was just patting her head. Then after parting the young girls head a few times Elena left the room with everyone.
After coming back to the guest parlour once again Elena gave a proposal to everyone. She said -
"Mister Hendrick, Miss Dakota. I have a proposal for both of you. Both of you should understand that the medicine Dalia is proposing making your daughter better by sacrificing her great potential. But I have a method that would be able to wake her up without making any such sacrifice. Are the two of you interested ?"
The couple were very interested indeed. Their daughter was born a super genius. So if it was possible for them to save their daughter without sacrificing her talents, then that was obviously better. Margaritta and Dalia also knew that Elena was very intelligent and knowledgeable, so they were also interested to see what solution she had in mind.
Elena said that her solution was also a medicine but this medicine was better than the one Dalia knew about. Instead of creating a barrier inside her, this medicine would allow Lily's body to be strengthened by the Forest Dragon's essence. Then naturally she would be able to control the absorption of the natural energy by herself and the problem would be solved.
The plan was solid, but Dalia expressed her worry as in her knowledge such a medicine would need a lot more Forest Dragon's Leaf than just one. Hearing her worry, Elena told her she had quite a few leafs of the forest dragon with her, so creating that medicine was possible with the amount in her hand.
Elena had no intention to bother the poor forest dragon anymore and she just created the leaves with her creation magic. Then she went to Dalia's lab to make the medicine. She allowed others to watch the whole process so all of them followed her to not miss this learning opportunity.
