Princess Qamari, who was holding the winged-white tiger gently in her arms, suddenly stopped. Her whole body shivered as a feeling of being peeked at overwhelmed her senses.

Sharply raising her head, she looked directly into the eerie green-gold eyes in the sky.

Before she could react, the eyes suddenly vanished. As if they were just passing by or were never there, to begin with, and she was just imagining things.

However, she knew that she was not imagining. Someone or something was just peeking at her.

Shuddering with apprehension, she immediately threw her sword into the air, jumped, and landed right on its back the instant the golden bird transformed.

Flying, they headed out of the deep forest, towards the direction of the silver-rafter.

She was no longer in the mood for adventures and exploration.

'It was still best to hide out until the end of the competition.'

Thinking thus far, she urged Skyler faster in the direction of their makeshift shelter.

"So, how was it? Did you find out where she is?" The Crown Prince could no longer maintain his calm.

He felt the instant the Speaking Ink Tree returned, waiting anxiously for it to tell him what he desperately wanted to know.

However, the ancient tree seemed to be immersed in a world of its own, completely ignoring his presence.

Losing his patience, he directly asked for the answer.

"Oh, you are still here." The Speaking Ink Tree spoke with surprise in his usually indifferent voice.

The Crown Prince's face immediately turned dark.

'If I will not be here, then from whom am I going to find my wife's whereabouts?'

He suppressed his annoyance, reminding himself to remain calm.

'If I did not need to know where my wife is, I would not be wasting so much time talking nonsense with you.'

"Yes, I am still here. Did you find out my wife's location?" He repeated with a fake smile, his dark eyes flashing with murder.

"Oh, your wife. Yes, your wife. I must say, you have found yourself quite the match. Tell me, how did you meet and where did you meet? Did you know beforehand that your wife could use magic?" All of a sudden, the Speaking Ink Tree was suddenly very interested in the wife of the Crown Prince.

The Crown prince's face turned even darker. Instead of getting an answer, he received questions.

He was practically boiling with frustration now. Why was the Speaking Ink Tree suddenly showing interest in his wife?

'Was it so difficult to just say the name of a place?'

As far as the Crown Prince knew, the ancient tree was not even that interested in him, who was a descendant of his old acquaintance. So, why was It interested in his wife?

'Could it be, It saw something while it was seeking her?'

"No. I did not know she could use magic beforehand, because our marriage was not intended, but happened due to a series of unexpected incidents. Can you tell me where she is now?" With suspicion in his eyes, he calmed himself down as he asked for the third time.

"Ah, yes. Your wife. Unfortunately, your wife is in the Heart Land of the Iris realm, the Black Southern Sea."

Finally hearing the answer he had been desperately searching for, Crown Prince Lail's face glowed with radiance, his eyes displaying the happiness he felt.

'Iris realm, Black Southern Sea.'

He repeated the place in his mind, imprinting in his heart.

His wife was in the realm of her homeland, the Iris realm.

But how did she end up in the Black Southern Sea, and why?

Seeing the confusion in the Crown Prince's eyes, the Speaking Ink Tree decided to update him on the current affair of things.

"Yes. Your wife is in the Iris realm, the Black Southern Sea. Before you run off, let me give you a bit of advice." The ancient trees' eyes displayed unmatchable wisdom as It deeply gazed at the Crown Prince.

"Yes, Speaking Ink Tree. Please do." Crown Prince Lail immediately turned serious as he waited to hear the Speaking Ink Tree.

Receiving a piece of advice from a thousands-year-old tree that had seen the rise and fall of many races would only benefit him.

"As I said, your wife is in the Heart of a land in the Southern Sea of the Iris realm. This means that you cannot meet her until she leaves the Heart Land. Do you know why?" The Speaking Ink Tree trained its solemn eyes on the Crown Prince.

"No, why?" Crown Prince Lail's eyes filled with confusion on hearing the ancient tree.

He could not meet his wife until she left the Heartland?

But he had the ability to enter Heart Lands now.

So why could he not just enter to meet her, instead of waiting for her to leave?

As he watched the flickering emotions on Crown Prince Lail's face, the ancient tree knew that the kid's knowledge on Heart Lands was limited.

"Very simple. Because you are not from the Iris realm. You can enter the Heart of Mistland because you are a native of the Amayan Empire and the heart recognizes you. However, the Iris Heart Land does not know you because you are not a native of the Iris realm. Does that make sense?" The tree waited until Crown Prince Lail nodded his head in understanding, before continuing.

"As such, even if you go to the Black Southern Sea, you will not be able to meet your wife until she leaves the Heart. Which is why I said unfortunately earlier. Because the Seven Order is conducting a competition for new recruits at the moment, it is most likely that she will become an apprentice to a magician." At this moment, it looked deeply at the Crown Prince.

Seeing its serious eyes, an ominous feeling brewed in Crown Prince Lail's heart.

'It could not be, that she could not leave the Heart Land after becoming an apprentice, right?'

Before he could voice his thoughts, the Speaking Ink Tree confirmed it.

"Yes. Once your wife becomes an apprentice to a magician of the Seven Order, she will not be able to leave the Heart Land.. That is, until she completes her apprenticeship."
