The Medallion

"Yes. I think so too. If you don't have any objections, I'll send my people to the Genie Fief right now," Gilbert said.

Elder Leticia nodded eagerly. Her silence was agreement enough.

After that, Gilbert called for a servant and told him to run to the Genie Fief and deliver a message. At the same time, he whispered to more of his people and ordered them to surround the guest hall where Gloria lived.

At first, Gloria expected Gilbert to come straight to her, but a whole day had passed and he still hadn't shown up, so she grew confused.

"My Lady, I have some bad news!" Suddenly, Purple burst through the door.

"What's wrong?" Gloria asked, turning to face her with her beautiful eyes narrowed.

"Someone just stopped me outside. He said that the leader has ordered us to stay in. And I just saw a bunch of masters surrounding our house," Purple replied, looking wary.

"Gilbert must be trying to take the engagement covenant by force," Gloria assumed.

"What should we do? Should we attack them?" Purple stood straight like she was ready to fight.

"No. We should just wait for a while. Maybe they are just worried we will try and escape." Gloria waved her hand nonchalantly.

Another day crawled by and Gilbert was still nowhere to be seen. The guest hall was also still surrounded.

"It looks like Gilbert wants to

put me under house arrest. He might have sent someone to look for my father." Gloria knew that she had underestimated Gilbert. He might not want to hurt her but that wouldn't stop him from trapping her inside the Ghost Fief.

If her father were to learn about what she had done in the Ghost Fief, he would probably ask her to hand over the engagement covenant immediately. That would mean that all her efforts would be in vain and she would have to return to the Genie Fief with nothing.

I will try to attract the attention of the guards. Once I've done that, you can sneak out and find the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief. He will think of a way to save us. Tell him that if he can do it, I will return the engagement covenant to him,"
