Chapter 766 - Mistreatment Emery was so caught off guard that he couldn't help but ask again if what the magus said was true. To be honest, he did not expect to be the only one being summoned. On the other hand, the wolves believed the reason Emery was summoned was because of the spirit souls he had on him. Chief Beowulf even went ahead and told him not to be fooled by whatever the Snake Clan tried to do. Magus Heorgar added that if he was not sure about something, he could ask Duke Syre for advice. From this, Emery once again saw how much the Demon Wolf trusted the Duke. Before stepping out of the magic-layered prison, Emery was once again given and told to eat the pitch-black pill. Even though he really didn't want to experience that feeling of weakness again, he knew he had nothing to say about this matter. Thus, he could only swallow both his grievance and the pill in silence. The Oroboros magus took Emery out of the fortress-like building where the prison was and using the same vehicle that was used before, they flew toward a different complex not too far away from this one. The place was also heavily guarded as the prison, but in contrast to the latter's plain outer appearance, it looked very elegant and resplendent with its magnificent architecture. Upon closer look, Emery guessed this place must be the palace or the royal residence. After the vehicle stopped and landed on a specially prepared clearing for landing, Emery was led to walk outside and saw that there was a group of people near the landing site, apparently waiting for him. He could see the group consisted of roughly the same number of men and women. All of them did not seem to be half-bloods, as he could sense their spirit force was low. Emery was quickly distracted by one particular person, who he assumed was leading this group of people. A peerless beauty with long brown hair that stood out more than the others. She bowed her head at him and said, "I am Ginette. Please follow me." Ginette and the others led Emery into the palace. They walked through a corridor with many beautiful and exquisite artworks. Various kinds of paintings hang on both sides of the walls, while statues and sculptures could be seen every tens of meters. A few minutes later, Ginette finally stopped in her tracks, which meant they had arrived. To Emery's complete surprise, the place they took him in was actually a room - a luxurious kind that even the kings and queens back in Britain couldn't imagine having. With just a glance, Emery could see the room had been specially prepared beforehand. It had an aesthetically pleasing interior with a large bed placed right beside an arched window that lead to a balcony, which had a beautiful view of the lush garden. Emery stood there at the door, his gaze fixed on the room in sight before him. It was also at this moment he realized the people escorting him were about to leave him. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢 "W-Wait!" Emery shouted, causing the group to stop. "What am I doing here? why am I here?" The others remained silent, it was the beautiful girl Ginette that answered his inquiry. "You are a guest of this villa, which means you are our master. We are all here to serve and take care of your every need, so feel free to contact us if you need anything." Emery did not know how he should react to her words. He was so confused and taken aback by the sudden change of treatment. He was about to speak again, when he suddenly perceived a distinct energy signature approaching. It was not the level of intensity a magus radiated, but whoever it was approaching them was at least a peak rank 9 acolyte. Emery shut his mouth and swiftly turned his head towards the direction this person was coming from. A few moments later, Emery finally saw who it was. The figure was the young man with pitch-black hair, who had been present to welcome them, when they had arrived on this planet. With a gesture of his hand, all the male and female attendants including Ginette swiftly bowed before leaving the place. The young man looked at Emery with a friendly smile and said, "Hello, Emery Ambrose. My name is Vizla. The queen asked me to welcome you here to our guest villa. You are now our honored guest." Even though the young man had a friendly smile, the way he spoke his words was oozing with hints of hidden arrogance. Throughout his entire life, Emery usually saw only people with status acting that way. In an instant, he guessed the other party must be royalty or at least a high-ranking figure in the Ouroboros. Emery stood there, quiet as his questions remained unanswered. Realizing his guest's confusion, Vizla opened his mouth again. "It's nothing to be confused about, actually. It just came to our knowledge you are someone from the privileged class of the Magus Academy. Hence, we apologize for the mistreatment you received before." The explanation given could be a good reason, but there was no way Emery would just believe it right away. The Ouroboros might be trying to smooth him up by providing this lavish treatment for the spirit souls in his hand. Therefore, although he acted courteously, he still remained cautious. Vizla only smiled when he saw how Emery's face had not changed much. "The queen may only have time to see you tomorrow, so please enjoy the accommodation we have prepared for you. Meanwhile, we must ask you not to go anywhere." He smiled. "For the sake of both of us." That was the last thing Vizla said, before leaving Emery alone. Even though he was still skeptical, Emery knew he couldn't do anything lest his actions endanger the others who were still imprisoned. Thus, he listened to what he was told - enjoying the things prepared for him. Without him saying anything, a group of attendants would knock on his door and enter with either food, fruits or other kinds of stuff. If that wasn't special enough, these people did it every hour. In the afternoon, Emery, who was still distressed by the waves of attendants coming to his room, was distracted by the light coming from the symbol on his arm. A second later, a notification appeared. [Weakening effect is wearing off] As he saw the notification, Emery could feel his battle power return to his body and his spirit force once again becoming accessible. With this, Emery could cast [Spatial Gate] to easily escape, but of course, he would not do such a stupid thing. He might be able to sneak out his way and maybe try looking for a portal that could send him back, but then he could not just leave when many things were still unclear and without explanations. The White Fang, the items they took from him and also Silva asking him to wait and trust her; hence Emery would not try to escape before he received some answers. Making up his mind to be patient, Emery then went to the balcony and sat in the lotus position. He breathed in the air, as he tried to calm himself and delved into his training session. When the night arrived, Emery heard a knock on the door. He had a resigned look on his face as he opened it, because he thought it was the attendants again, but to his surprise it was Vizla. The young man didn't seem to be affected by Emery's expression as he said the purpose of his arrival. "The queen will be available tomorrow morning. So for now, I must insist you go and take a bath." Emery didn't want to, but Vizla basically forced him by saying it would be considered ill-mannered to the queen. The man even went as far as accompanying him for the bath. "Let's go." It didn't take long for Emery, who was dragged by Vizla, to arrive at a large hot bath located in the basement of the residence. The place looked really luxurious with its custom-made interior. Moreover, it was completely filled with white steam and a certain aroma that gave off a calming feeling. Emery went into the pool and sank his body on one side, while Vizla was already relaxing on the other. "It's nice, isn't it?" Seeing Emery nod his head, Vizla suddenly clapped his hands, and a moment later, half a dozen beautiful women stepped in and entered the bath in half-naked condition. These women quickly entered the pool without saying anything and approached the two of them. While Emery was dumbfounded by the unexpected development, Vizla had a massive grin on his face. "Now it's perfect." ---------------------------------- Written by Avans, Published exclusively by W.e.b.n.o.v.e.l, Join the discussion on discord through my website www..avans.xyz
