Chapter 52: Plans

Back in the Amayan Empire, Regent Prince Kreme Amhei was inside a dark room with a black staff in his hands, insistently chanting some garbled words.

As he chanted, he intermittently flung different materials into a black smokeless flame. The air buzzed and crackled with energy filling the atmosphere with a sinister aura. Terrified howls and shrieks of ghostly shadows flashed across the dark walls, betraying the vile property of the ritual taking place.

At this moment, the Regent Prince threw a black throbbing material in the shape of a heart into the black flame, raising his black staff in the air to suck the corresponding electric currents.

From the scene, it was obvious that the Regent Prince of the Great Amayan Empire performed dark rituals to gain access to black magic.

As the electric currents surged and flashed, Regent Prince Kreme Amhei's figure rose into the air, numerous black-red currents swirling around him.

"I have taken the bargain and paid the price. Now give me the power I desire!" Roaring, he threw his head back, arms widespread, as amidst the black-red currents, a black shadow appeared in the already sinister room, spreading a sickly sweet fragrance comprised of gore, rot, and overgrown fruits in the cramped space.

"Kreme Amhei, I have given you the equivalent reward for the price you paid. Now if you desire more, you must pay the corresponding price." A malevolent, genderless voice hummed in the dark, as magic, dwarfing and overwhelming, filled every crack, setting dust and debris afloat.

"I have to pay another price? Fine. I want you to help me get the 'golden bird' and the Princess of Jinn, Princess Qamari. In return, I am ready to pay whatever price you ask for." The Regent Prince's grim voice resounded in response, a dark light flashing in his eyes.

At the time of the Crown Prince's departure, the Regent Prince was not in a hurry to possess the 'golden bird' and Princess Qamari. He had lived long enough by now to understand that haste often made waste.

And instead of exposing his plans to the seven realms before he was confident of obtaining complete victory, he wanted to take his time, slowly laying down the foundation and executing each step of his plans to complete precision.

However, the seven heavens seemed to be against him as they always seemed to foil his plans.

If he had not gone to seek the magicians of the Seven Order to assist him in locating Princess Qamari, he would have never come to know that the princess was not even in the Amaya realm.

When he asked the magicians for the princess's location, they failed to give him a proper response, rising his alarm.

And knowing that while the magicians of the Seven order resided in every realm, their loyalty was not to the reigning royal family but to their magic academies, he could no longer sit still and wait.

He could not wait for the Crown Prince to find Princess Qamari because if the princess was in the hands of the Seven Order, then she would be kept in the Heart Lands where no ordinary human could enter.

The Crown Prince would have to possess magic to enter such lands.

And if by chance he happened to have a strong bloodline and awakened the blood of his ancestors, there would still be no guarantee that the Seven Order would easily let the girl go with him.

Especially not if they found out how special she was.

And so, to ensure Princess Qamari truly fell into his hands, he called upon the Dark Jinn.

Even if his plans for the future were to be exposed ahead of time, he still had to take this step.

It was a question of his great ambition and aspirations. And he could not allow any stray arrows to pierce through the net.

Even if that meant making a deal with the Dark Jinn again.

"Alright. I will get you the 'golden bird' as you wish, but in payment, I need a maiden of noble lineage. This maiden must be pure of heart and innocent of nature. Do you accept?" The Dark Jinn's malicious voice resounded, bouncing off the walls.

'Just a maiden for Princess Qamari and the 'golden bird', somehow, this deal does not seem to be of great advantage to the Dark Jinn. However, the Dark Jinn never suffers a loss in any deal, so what am I missing?'

Regent Prince Kreme Amhei wondered in confusion as he thought over the Dark Jinn's proposal.

No matter which side he looked from, it seemed like he was the one gaining the greatest advantage, and that scared him.

Because that meant the one who will be gaining the greatest advantage would be the Dark Jinn.

The Dark Jinn never suffered a loss and neither did he seal a losing bargain.

In any deal he sealed, there would be a losing and winning side. However, the one to lose out, in the end, was never him.

This was a fact engraved into the minds of every individual that dealt with Jinns' to fulfill their wish.

In the world of Jinns, the Dark Jinn was the most notorious for his sinister plots within plots and schemes within schemes.

"Do you accept?"

However, the Dark Jinn did not seem to intend to give the Regent Prince enough time to ponder over the deal and change his mind, as his sinister voice rang out, startling him out of his thoughts.

'There is definitely a trap here. But since I am not able to figure out what the Dark Jinn is scheming at the moment, I will just accept the deal and make plans to deal with him in the future. Once I gain control of the seven realms, then even the Jinns will bow to me.'

To get the 'golden bird' and Princess Qamari, it was now or never.

Having reached a decision, Regent Prince Kreme Amhei looked back at the malevolent, looming shadow in the sinister dark room.

"I accept.. Find me my 'golden bird' and Princess Qamari, and I will make sure that you get your maiden."
