"Where are you taking me?!", Kayla asked as she was taken out strapped in vines by Miguel.

"Where are we?!", She asked as soon as she was placed down.

It was night and she couldn't see clearly.

"Come on now princess, why act lost, isn't this your homeland?", Miguel asked as he brought forth a lamp.

Only then did Kayla realize that they were in one of the houses in Phytillia.

She looked to her right and saw a little girl and a man beside her.

"Who are they?! Where exactly are we?!", She asked still bewildered.

"If you still haven't noticed, we are in one of the houses in your little Phytillia!", He replied and pointed his finger at the man and the little girl.

"That young man is one of the apical guards of Quaila, he helped me get you...", He replied.

When Kayla heard this, she finally understood, the answer to her mind puzzling question; how did Miguel become so strong under a couple of hours, so much so she couldn't overpower his vine control.

Two persons were in control of the vine against one. Although she was able to resist better than average Phytillian, but then even if she was an 80 and they both were 50s, which they clearly are above, their abilities were equivalent to a 100, overpowering her by as little as a 20, but still above.

"My dad would find me!", She spoke harshly to Miguel.

"Really now! Is that what's important?!", Miguel replied and pointed at Claire.

"That little girl is the daughter of master Xenguy!", He replied.

On hearing this she turned to the little girl.

"Both her parents are dead all because someone was trying to hide something. Something that I have come to understand that you know. Not only that, but you are actually a top plotter of this conspiracy! You tried to further set me up.", Miguel replied walking towards her.

"Now tell me the truth! What's really going on?!", Miguel asked looking at Kayla.

She looked down and remained quiet.

Pow!

She received a slap to her face.

All including herself was stunned, no one expected the playful Miguel to suddenly raise his hand on her.

"Do you think I like this disgusting pot on my head?! The arrogant and promiscuous Miguel raping his brother's fiance. What a convincing story! A perfect person to dump the pot on.", Miguel added aggressively.

"Tell me the truth! Who's behind all of this

After speaking, he picked Kayla by her neck and took her up.

"Mi... Mi....", She gasped for breath.

"My Lord!", Clark hurried to stop and plead with Miguel.

"Remember our plan!", Clark added.

Only then did he drop her down.

She began to cough.

"You.... you you're a monster!", She added and coughed some more.

"The stories are all true!", She added.

Miguel looked at her for a bit, sighed and turned to Claire who watched all this in fright, walked up to her, knelt down and said: "I am sorry you had to see that!"

After speaking he hugged her and added: "everything's going to be okay!"

"I'll make sure it is!", Miguel added with a stern expression as he stood up.

"We move at dawn!", Miguel added.

"Are you out of your mind?! Tomorrow's the last day! At about mid-day of the demons are called on us, we are both dead!", Kayla replied.

"Which is why you should speak before we move!", Miguel added and walked into one of the rooms.

……

"My Lord, we've checked everywhere we can in the main cities, we can't find Miguel!", One of the guards said to Luca.

Luca who stood in front of his window wasn't pleased with the news at all.

When the guard saw his expression, he attempted to comfort him.

"But My Lord, at least our city will be protected from the likes of him.", The guard spoke.

Pow!

A heavy slap came across his face.

Luca did this in irritation, he was pissed that the opportunity to get back at his brother had slipped away, but after his action, he realized that he needed to give the others a reasonable explanation for slapping the guard who had spoken what on the surface was the need of most of the Quailians; peace.

".... Complacency, that's the exact reason for wars in the past! Without a complete certainty, you rest!", He added.

"Keep searching, don't stop until after noon tomorrow!", Luca put out the order and dismissed them.

After they had left, he stood by the window staring at the dark night.

"Ruler of Quaila!", He heard a voice which he least expected.

In shock he turned around.
