Synopsis

The chapter opens with the Crown Prince experimenting with a new technique involving storing and discharging liquids within his body. He accidentally discharges a large amount of water, causing a loud noise that alarms his guards. Later, the Emperor and his men discover the Prince's strange behavior involving self-inflicted injuries and ingestion of poison, but the Prince manages to dismiss it as an accident. The chapter ends with the Prince revealing his ability to store and discharge mana-infused materials and planning further experiments, with water as his first test subject, unaware that his capacity is much greater than expected.
