The fact that the grand magus had come right at this moment could only mean that they had been watched closely, which only served to further deepen Emery's anxiety. But outwardly, he remained calm as he welcomed the grand magus into the residence, saying how they just needed to head out for another session of training before the Royal Hunt began.
Hearing his words, the old grand magus just smiled and said, "I thought the King has been very kind to you. Why do you need to lie?"
Just as Emery was about to say anything, he was shocked by the scene unfolding before his eyes.
Tatyana suddenly stepped forward and approached the grand magus before directing him to one of the rooms where the rebel Frostmind was staying.
Emery could only watch in disbelief as his guest room was broken into without his consent. The group of palace guards immediately made their way inside, surrounded the man and quickly restrained him in seconds.
"Why did you betray us, Evan!? Why!!" Frostmind screamed as he was forcefully dragged out of the room.
The only thing Emery could do was stay silent as the man was taken away by the Silvermane palace guards. Moments later, silence once again enveloped the residence as he and the others were left with the old grand magus.
As intimidating as ever, Warwick looked at him and said, "I trust you won't believe what the rebels told you."
Returning the gaze, Emery calmly said, "No, I did not."
He explained how he had only been in bed with them over the slaves' matter, and that he had been rejecting their invitation of cooperation. The grand magus once again turned his gaze towards Tatyana, and the girl looked slightly pale as she hastily nodded her head to confirm Emery's words.
Looking at Emery again, Warwick heaved a sigh and said, "I really hope you did not disappoint our King."
Just as he was about to walk out of the residence, the grand magus stopped in his steps and spoke in a stern tone. "Until the Royal Hunt is over, you are prohibited from leaving the planet." Without looking back, the man continued on his way.
Emery's situation arguably got worse because those words that Warwick said could only meant that his identity would be disseminated to every guard in the teleportation portal and hangar, ensuring he could not leave the planet.
However, his current self honestly didn't have the capacity to care about such a thing.
After the grand magus had completely left, he stiffly turned around and stared at Tatyana with disbelief evident in his eyes. Even though he had displayed a calm demeanor earlier, he was actually completely taken aback by what he had just seen.
The brown-haired girl looked at Emery's face with confusion, her face was pale and drenched in sweat as she broke down. "I… am sorry brother.. I… I don't–"
Her words were cut short as she suddenly staggered backwards. Fortunately, Emery managed to catch her body before she hit the floor.
His face instantly changed when he felt her body scalding hot and her spirit core was in a chaotic state. Immediately, Emery took her into one of the nearby rooms and lay her body on the bed before quickly checking her condition with his [Nature's Blessing].
Emery's expression turned even graver as instead of recovering, the brown haired girl's body suddenly trembled violently. Luckily, Beowulf came in at this moment and quickly helped control the situation.
The Ice Wolf cast an ice spell that enveloped most of her body, causing her tremors to subside and the tension in her body to reduce significantly. Upon seeing the situation somehow under control, Emery quickly asked the old chief.

"Senior, what happened to her?"
Beowulf was silent for a moment before he shook his head and said, "It's my fault. I should have noticed when I saw how she reacted during your bloodmoon ritual."
As it turned out, what happened to Tatyana was the result of a conflict of influence between her Alpha which was Emery and another power that forced her to follow its will. Upon hearing that, Emery's face became the darkest of the day.
Tatyana must have been subjected to this when Warwick took her from the Red Pagoda. The old wolf must have forcibly converted her to become his eyes and ear at Emery's situation, which clearly showed his attitude.
That was the conclusion the old Chief could come up with. However, there was something that made him slightly anxious.
"Normally any bonds would be severed the moment one joins a pack. To think it still remains…"
Pondering the matter further, the situation was actually a little bizarre. Emery was not just Tatyana's Alpha, he was also a Mythical Rank 8 Wolf bloodline, which made it nigh impossible for anyone to affect his innate influence.
The two can only assume that the old Grand Magus has that kind of capability.
"How can we cure her?"
Emery promptly followed the old wolf's instructions, putting his head closer and whispering to the girl that it was alright to ease the guilt she might subconsciously feel for betraying them. Fortunately, it seemed that it worked as they could see the girl erratic breathing gradually calming down.
But still, even if she did get better from her current condition, whether she could get out of the influence would depend on Tatyana's strength herself.
A few hours later, Annara returned from checking out the hangar and found that things were as they expected. The guards that were stationed there knew who she was and her ship was also barred from access.
"They're letting hundreds into the planet every second, but they're really restricting the people that are coming out."
Not only was Emery now unable to leave the planet, he also had Tatyana's situation that he needed to consider. Even if the brown-haired girl recovered, he wasn't so sure about letting someone who could potentially stab them in the back participate in their group.
This automatically meant that they were now one more person short for the Royal Hunt.
There were only three days left before the event kicked off, but on the other hand Emery really didn't want to opt for hiring mercenaries.
It was then at this moment that the old chief suddenly said, "I will help you. I will participate in the Hunt."
Although it was unexpected, it was a welcomed surprise. Emery was grateful for the man's willingness to help. Most importantly, having such a veteran in their lineup would be more valuable than any magus he could find.
