After a brief lesson, Jade felt as if she had grasped something, yet also as if she hadn't grasped anything at all.
"Keep learning, there's still so much to learn."
Seeing Emerald's slightly bewildered expression, Moen couldn't help but chuckle.
Establishing a successful connection with the zodiac is by no means a simple matter.
Especially without mastering the skills of that constellation and without a Saint Cloth to wear, the difficulty is extremely high.
In this situation, the connection between Emerald and the constellation can be said to be solely through Master Moen, who acts as the medium, allowing Emerald to vaguely perceive Lyra.
"This is an incredibly difficult road. Are you prepared for a long and arduous journey?"
Moen looked at Emerald and gave her a chance to back out. Although taking on a disciple would be beneficial to Moen and he wouldn't have to pay any price for it, he would still fully respect her wishes. Taking on a disciple was something that required mutual consent.
"Ready!"
Emerald realized what Moen was asking and immediately answered.
Although she was aware of the difficulty of this "celestial spirit magic," she would not give up easily. The feeling of establishing a connection with the constellations in the sky was intoxicating and captivating, a completely different feeling from making a contract with a celestial spirit.
"Very good, then let's start by practicing the harp properly."
Seeing the determination in Emerald's eyes, Moen nodded in satisfaction.
Without perseverance, it's really hard to master. How can you gain great power without putting in the effort? Jade doesn't have a system, so it can only rely on its own hard work.
Putting away the harp, Moen assigned Emerald homework, telling her to practice the harp properly, as this was a way to improve her resonance with Lyra.
As a princess of the Kingdom of Fiore, Emerald naturally had her own professional music teacher. Although not as outstanding as Master Voltava, she was still a harpist with some reputation.
"Mr. Moen, why don't you let Emerald come back to Fairy Tail with you?"
Just as Moen finished assigning the homework, King Thomas suddenly spoke up, a suggestion that clearly surprised both Moen and Princess Emerald.
Is this appropriate?
Moen was a little surprised. Emerald was the only heir of the royal family. Did King Thomas really intend to let Emerald go with him to Fairy Tail?
"Really?!"
Unlike Moen's surprise, Emerald looked expectant.
Jade hadn't thought about this before, but after her father mentioned it, she started to look forward to it. What would the Fairy Tail guild where Master Moen lived be like?
"What's inappropriate? What's unacceptable? Just because she's a princess, does Fairy Tail really think it'll refuse Emerald's participation?"
King Thomas was puzzled; he really didn't know that Fairy Tail had such a rule, and it was just a sudden thought on his part.
As the king, he certainly couldn't abandon his country to join the Mage Guild, but his daughter Emerald still had the time and opportunity.
Even as a princess, Emerald can still join the Mage Guild and experience a different kind of life.
King Thomas has always longed for the life of a mage, but he has no way to experience it firsthand. His current mindset is to have Emerald fulfill his wish on his behalf.
"Of course there's no such rule. If you don't mind, we certainly won't refuse. Emerald is a good girl, and I believe she'll be very happy in Fairy Tail."
Moen smiled and said that if King Thomas didn't mind his only son leaving the palace, then he would mind even less.
A princess is nothing to Fairy Tail; they even have a prince from another world in their guild!
Speaking of Mystogan, one cannot help but mention the super-subspace magic "Anima". Although everyone is eager to solve this problem, Mystogan still has not figured out a way for everyone to go to another world together.
Moreover, how they would fight after arriving in that world without magic was also a problem that needed to be solved.
Even Moen couldn't guarantee that he would still be able to use his abilities after arriving in that world. Would the stars in that world still have magic?
For these reasons, the "Expedition to Edolas World" has never been carried out, and Prince Mystogan of the Edolas Kingdom is still a member of Fairy Tail.
Of course, Mystogan has been living a life of hardship and exposure to the elements for many years. After Emerald joined Fairy Tail, she probably won't have a chance to see him for a while. Otherwise, it would be quite interesting to think about these two princes and princesses from another world meeting.
"Then it's settled. Let Emerald go out with you."
Seeing that Moen readily agreed, King Thomas made the decision, and Emerald would certainly agree as well, judging from the child's delighted expression.
"Jade, you'd better hurry up and pack your bags. We need to prepare to return to Magnolia."
Moen didn't waste any time and immediately told Princess Emerald to pack their things, as they were about to return to Fairy Tail.
"good!"
Without any hesitation, Emerald immediately lifted her little skirt and ran off, calling to the servants to help her pack her luggage.
"Let Emerald live directly in our Fairy Tail girls' dormitory."
Moen said, "Since we're going to let Emerald out for training, let's be more straightforward. Don't bring any of these servants or anything. Let her live directly in the Fairy Tail girls' dormitory."
"Okay, we'll do as you say."
King Thomas did not refuse Moen's proposal.
He sent Jade to the Fairy Tail guild with Moen, partly to let Jade fulfill his wish in his place.
Secondly, she naturally wanted to give Emerald some experience, and at the same time, let her build friendships with these Fairy Tail mages. Moving her directly into the dormitory would make things much easier.
As a girl, Emerald will inevitably face many problems when she succeeds to the throne, and there may even be many people who question her. She needs some strong supporters, and these mages from Fairy Tail are very suitable.
Looking at Moen, King Thomas felt he had made a very wise decision. His decision to call Moen over to express his gratitude was definitely a very smart move; otherwise, none of what followed would have happened.
Before long, Princess Emerald had packed her things and came over by herself carrying a small box. She didn't have any servants with her and didn't make a big fuss.
"Is this all your luggage?"
Looking at the small suitcase, Moen asked with some surprise.
Moen had assumed the princess would be carrying a lot of luggage, but that didn't really matter. No matter how much luggage she had, his Raven Transport Team could take it all with them.
"From now on, I am no longer a princess, but just my master's disciple, a disciple from a fairly well-off family."
Emerald smiled as she spoke, meaning she wanted to conceal her identity.
She doesn't plan to join Fairy Tail as "Princess of the Kingdom of Fiore," but rather as "Moon's Apprentice," which she feels would make it easier for her to integrate into the guild.
To be honest, within the Fairy Tail guild, the latter identity might actually be more advantageous.
The princess's identity might only pique people's curiosity, but the identity of "Moen's apprentice" would naturally make everyone feel good about her, and this identity would indeed help her integrate into the guild more easily.
"Alright, Emerald, say goodbye to your father, we'll be on our way now."
Moen smiled and said that Emerald's decision had saved him a lot of trouble; now the crows only needed to take the two of them back.
"Gah!"
With a thought, several large crows appeared out of thin air. However, while crows could be stored in the system space, "gliders" and "airplanes" could not be stored in them. So, Moen asked the king for a few baskets so that Emerald could sit in them and avoid being blown silly by the wind along the way.
