Emery brought Klea along with him to his estate in Venta town. It was already late at night, but as soon as Emery arrived, his attendants rushed to the front door to welcome him and his guest.

"Hope the place is not too shabby for a Queen," he said, smiling warmly.

Klea put her hands on her hips, exclaiming the interior of the estate with a discerning eye. "Well, it's definitely a downgrade from our elite academy room."

Her answer quickly reminded him of an occurrence during their academy days, where they had almost spent the night together. The girl stared at him with a wicked smile and a sly glint in her eye. It appeared she had mentioned it for the sole purpose of reminding him of the incident.

"Emery, let's hang out and chat until the morning, we have so many things to catch up on."

Hearing this offer right after she mentioned such a thing only made Emery quickly ask the attendant to prepare a room for Klea at once, a flustered look on his face.

Klea was happy Emery had started to cheer up again. The moment she laid eyes on him, she could tell he had been gloomy, falling victim yet again to one of his melancholic episodes. But she did not exactly know what the cause behind it was. From what she could guess, the girl that had been eyeing her in the great hall had something to do with it.

She silently promised herself to help him regarding this matter. "Don't worry, Emery, no one knows you better than I do."

Like any other night, Emery did not feel as though he really needed much sleep. The moment he sent the queen to her room, once again, he spent most of the night cultivating his powers using the [Nature Grasp] spell. After all, he had much to catch up to.

When his spirit energy started to channel the seed, Emery gradually began to slip into a trance. Eventually, he didn't realize that hours had passed and that morning had arrived.

Emery was awakened from his trance by the sound of laughter that burst from the dining room. When he arrived downstairs, the first thing he saw was Klea talking animatedly with Luna Quintin, who seemed to be extremely amused at whatever it was they were discussing. The two were enjoying themselves over a luxurious breakfast that had been prepared by the estate staff.

"Master Merlin," Luna beamed, as she caught a glimpse of him descending the stairs. "I never knew that you were acquainted with Egypt's queen! This is fascinating."

Emery realized Luna, as a trader, must have found Klea very interesting with her stories of the kingdom way across the sea. Thus, he allowed the two to acquaint themselves with one another, as he called on the attendant to bring him some food.

It was only when the attendant had set his plate down in front of him he realized the two were not talking about trading at all.

"So, Emery rarely stays in this place?" Klea asked in between bites of her food.

Luna nodded energetically in response. "Yes, most of the time, he is mostly away at the Forbidden Forest, doing God knows what."

This seemed to fascinate Klea, who addressed Luna with an interesting look. "Did he ever keep a woman when he stayed here?"

"Just two, as far as I know… Princess Gwenneth and… the fey girl he always with Morgana."

Emery was so shocked he unconsciously spat out his drink upon hearing this, abruptly stopping the two ladies' conversation in its tracks. They both stared at him in complete bewilderment.

"Wait!" He gasped out, "Stop!"

The conversation was simply an interrogation about his personal life, with Luna providing the Egyptian queen with as many needless details as she so desired. It had suddenly dawned on him she was under Klea's enchantment this whole time.

This realization was clearly evident on Emery's face, so Klea dispelled it before looking him directly in the eye.

"So… Who is Morgana, exactly?" She asked, an inquisitive glint in her eye.

The only answer Emery could supply was a burst of awkward laughter. He could only be glad the queen in front of him wasn't able to read his mind… Wasn't she?

Klea only stopped her barrage of questions when Emery announced their next destination would be the Fey Village. The place where Morgana was apparently staying at.

Emery opened up a new [Spatial Gate] that was directed just on the outskirts of the Fey Village. When they arrived, surprisingly, the Egyptian queen appeared to be more fascinated by the village's humble surroundings compared to the sprawling expanse of the city.

Thus, two walked towards the village, all eyes closely following the beautiful girl who was walking by Emery's side. Not long after, he could feel the Fey Sisters quickly approaching them and with his enhanced senses he could tell Morgana was not among them. He couldn't believe it, this was the first time he felt glad she was not there to greet him.

He couldn't imagine what the interaction between Klea and Morgana would be like if they met.

When the four Fey sisters came into contact with the pair, they all gasped in unison when they were met with the sight of the beautiful queen. They stared at her in complete awe, as Emery introduced them as his sisters.

Although all four of them were beauties, as soon Klea heard the word "sister" firmly passing Emery's lips, her demeanor immediately changed, shifting from defensive to very friendly.

The five girls quickly become close acquaintances. Within just a few minutes, Klea managed to bribe them for information about Emery's personal life in exchange for her authentic Egyptian jewelry and, the moment she heard that all four of them had been learning magic, she quickly offered to teach them spells.

Wind elements for the twins and ice elements for the young Gita. The sisters were so happy that they had almost sell-out all information about her own sister Morgana.

Emery could only stand helplessly seeing the queen staring at him with an evil smile.

Not long after, Chief Brenuss came to inform them that the High Priestess would like to see the new guest. Emery wondered what the Lady of the Lake or Gaia would like to see her about as they walked toward the shrine.
