On the other hand, as the light of the communication key gradually dimmed, the face of the man sitting on the icy throne turned gloomier and gloomier. Eganius Cline slightly pinched the old communication key into his pale slender fingers as his knuckles turned white, while closing his eyes to contain his tremendous anger.

As the long and narrow eyes closed themselves tight, his long eyelashes trembled slightly. His side profile seemed as calm as stagnant water, but the dark violent aura sipping out of his body began to dance and wave around vigorously, revealing a bit of depression and utter anxiety.

The wizard elder named Stofell, who stood in the side-lines while watching his king whose expressions changed faster than lightning, from being indifferent to being joyful and gentle, and in the end, looking like he was about to murder someone, had an inexplicable feeling inside of his heart. Is his king.... schizophrenic?

When that thought hit him, he suddenly seemed to get goosebumps all over his body. Stofell secretly sighed while lamenting, ‘His king’s menopause seems to be getting worse by the day (Sigh!).’

But then, the elder Stofell started analysing again, for the last thousand years, his king has been like a listless paralyzed living fossil who only knew how to doze off or sleep all day long. But suddenly one day, when the king finally decided to walk out of his domain and go to the realm of the sorcerers, Stofell thought that their time to shine and get revenge from those filthy sorcerers has finally come, until he found that his king was no longer rational. From time to time, he would get jittery, or get angry or be happy while looking at an old weird key, as if he and his subordinates were never really on the same page from the very beginning. Speculating the way he was handling things right now, Stofell could feel that things were not that simple.       

Elder Stofell was very worried, but what else could he do other than aid his king whenever he was needed.

On the other hand, Titania was busy tending to her injuries since the past few days, taking her time to heal herself as fast as possible so that she could make her escape when Eganius Cline’s guard is still down.

Fortunately, her eldricorn is still with her. Eldricorns have the power to absorb magical energies, and proficient eldricorns can also suck out low level curses.

“Belly, good girl. Yes, that’s it. You’re almost there, (Ahem!) ah! You did it girl!” Tania jumped for joy as her pet eldricorn finally sucked out the last traces of the curse of muteness out of her throat.

Now, she can finally talk. But, if only the blood curse was this easy to solve(Sigh!). That head elder of her magic tower was really vicious. Who would’ve thought that they would resort to such despicable means just to save their own skins. Fortunately, that *Beep* elder had not yet contacted her again. Otherwise, she didn’t know how she would survive.   

Now, her immediate goal was to escape from Eganius Cline’s clutches. All things aside that, she will think about them after she had made a successful escape.

However, Titania soon found out that something very strange was going on in the next few days. She gradually discovered that more and more people were being brought to the underground cells of the wizarding domain. And all of them were particularly women with the nick name Nia or Tania who looked more or less sixteen of bone age and were in the early stages of tier 3.

Titania recuperating inside her cell, “......”

A sudden chill climbed up through her spine as she realized that Eganius Cline was very serious about finding her whereabouts.

This trend went on for several days as more and more young girls were stuffed into the underground cells like trivial collections making their way into the warehouse of an avid collector.

Titania who watched from the sidelines as this trend went more and more rampant, “........” Do you think you’re holding up a worldwide audition to look for your potential partner? How can you cheat in such a domineering manner!!!

Now Titania couldn’t help but panick as she saw how adamant and resourceful Eganius Cline was. Originally, she thought that the big scary ancient Eganius Cline, who had been away from the secular world for nearly 1000 years would not have much of a chance in catching her, but now, looking at his way of dealing with matters, she could see that if it went on like this, it was very possible for Eganius Cline to discover her true identity. A female of 16-years of bone age with the nick name Tania of tier 3 magical powers, doesn’t seem there would be a lot of people with such unique criteria, right?

Titania thought she was clever in dealing with Eganius Cline, but didn’t know that she had unconsciously picked up a rock to smash her own two feet. She could only shed bitter tears when she realized how careless she was when dealing with the big villain Eganius Cline.

Now, to immediately think of other counter measures, she stealthily got close to the girls around her to enquire about the present situation outside of this underground dungeon.

In the next three days she found out that the wizards and the magicians had come to a tacit agreement in these few days, Eganius Cline asked of them to surrender all the young girls who fit his description of his Tania, otherwise he will declare unilateral war upon the entire magical realm. So, the timid sorcerers readily agreed and surrendered all the people who fit the current trend of Eganius Cline’s description without any questions. Not to mention, even young witches from the wizarding domain were brought in if they fit the above listed criteria.

However, what was more baffling was that.... most of these women came in voluntarily!?

The corners of Titania’s lips couldn’t help but twitch.
