If his recovered memories served Emery right, the man in front of him was called Vizla and should supposedly be someone who could be considered a friend. Hence, seeing the latter's display such hatred towards him as he took his daughter away was something that bewildered him. What's more, his mind was disturbed by what he had just heard from the little girl. If her words were true, it meant Silva was also in a concerning situation. In that instant, a memory about her rolled in his mind. The image of her on a white sand beach, caring for him, filled his mind and prompted him to make his decision. "I need to know what happened to her!" As night finally lowered its curtain, Emery snuck out of his residence. He made sure to move carefully, avoiding any patrols as his mind set on searching for her. The plan he currently had in mind was to find someone with high enough authority to interrogate. For example, the head servant of this royal residence or the chief guard. Those people should have information about their princess, or at least point him to someone in the know. As he thought of this plan, there was not the slightest hint of hesitation on Emery's face. In fact, he would even be willing to use violence if it provided him with the answers he wanted. When Emery finally managed to grab the head servant who was walking down the hallway, he noticed a figure approaching his direction. Sensing who it was, Emery shifted his gaze to his wrist before speaking. "I guess this bracelet can also track my whereabouts, ain't it?" With a sigh, the red-haired female figure said, "I told you, if you need anything or want to ask something, just find me. Don't make trouble here…" Releasing another sigh, her eyes glanced at the head servant before she said, "Let her go." Emery was silent for a moment, before letting go of the middle-aged woman with an nonchalant shrug. Ignoring the latter as if she didn't exist, he stared at the red-haired girl saying, "Will you tell me the truth then?" "I will…" She said, surprising Emery. "Come with me. I will take you to her…" Emery raised his eyebrows when he saw Annara didn't even ask what it was that he wanted to know. It seemed she had been monitoring him and his actions closely and knew what he wanted already. She led him to board the flying vehicle again that flew up into the sky as soon as the door closed, swiftly leaving the residence complex. Some time on the way, she started a conversation. "I guess there's still not much progress with your memory, is there?" "Why do you ask?" He said in a suspicious tone. "If you remember what happened the last time you were here in Ouroboros, you wouldn't even think of hurting that servant." "Well, I didn't really plan to hurt her…" Annara gave a small smile at his reply before saying, "Let me be clear, I'm not judging you…" Meeting his eyes, she added, "In fact, I think I like the new you." The truth was Emery did find it hard to see the memories past around the time of the elven mission. He had watched all the documentation of his time in Magus Academy, the magus game and the two Academy missions, only to receive glimpsed memories that he was there. He discovered he couldn't really relive it again. Not wanting to go into the topic any further, Emery stared at her and said, "Where are we going?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮 "The usual place." Annara said quickly, causing him to raise his eyebrows at the notion. The place the red-haired girl took Emery was none other than the facility he visited every week and just as he was about to complain, she said, "She is there too… Just follow my lead." When the flying vehicle touched the ground again, Emery and Annara quickly made their way inside. Having not been scheduled at all, their visit surprised several people at the facility, especially the hybrid Bob. The man tried to storm the two of them out when he saw they were about to enter a different part of the facility. However, Annara quickly stopped the strange-looking man, much to his confusion. "Don't worry. The Queen permitted this…" Hearing he had no reason to stop them, Bob nodded his head and led them to a certain room. As Emery approached the closed door, he couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster the closer he got. As soon as the door opened, Emery was struck dumbfounded at the sight. The white-haired girl, Silva, was lying inside a machine with several tubes stuck all over her emaciated body. His memory and what he saw at this moment clashed, causing Emery to feel a deep pain in his chest. When he realized the girl was unconscious, he quickly turned to Bob and Annara, his gaze clearly asking for an explanation. "What… What happened to her?" With a deep sigh, Bob started to explain. Apparently, the Ouroboros Princess was suffering from a condition called Gene Deformation. It was a life-threatening condition, which she had suffered before even going to the elven planet mission with him. Hearing those words, the memory of Silva being sick when they were inside a certain cave came to Emery's mind. "...Then why did she participate in the mission?" Bob was unable to answer, Annara however turned a little emotional as she interrupted him. "Do you really not get it? That time she ran away from Ouroboros to find you… She was afraid she wouldn't be able to see you again as you were obligated to return to your home planet" Once again Emery took a deep sigh, unable to understand how the girl could do such a thing. He then looked towards Bob saying, "How serious is this? …With all the resources you have… you can save her, right?!" Bob frowned as he said, "This is why we researched and experimented on you. We believe your gene mutation could be a way to save her." "What do you mean by my genes? Why did my genes have anything to do with this?!" Emery was confused and also surprised by those words. How could his wolf gene be the one that could save Silva's serpent gene. No matter how he looked at it, it made no sense and was simply absurd. However, the answer he received was even more shocking. "It's your mutated fey blood. That's what made her sick in the first place."
