"Hello." Auric waved his hand to Maya. "What's going on?"
Katarina was standing by his side, while Ellia and Vera were outside, spending their own time.
"Is anyone there right now? It is important that no one should know but you."
"None. There is only Katarina here. She knows a lot about me, so it's fine for her to hear as well." Auric nodded.
"Okay then. This girl will explain everything to you." Maya pointed to the girl next to her.
Gloria nodded solemnly. "I am Gloria."
"!!!" Auric and Katarina were startled.
"Before you say anything, please allow me to finish my explanation first. Right now, I've been bound by the power of a unique element. In a way, I now completely belong to you, Auric. You can think of me as your slave, not your subordinate. If I betray you, I will die."
"What?" Auric was completely confused.
"I know what you're thinking, but this is actually my choice. I originally intended to commit suicide last night, but your mother visited me."
