"You've made a decision," said Charlie, smiling faintly.
"I'll do it. I won't die either. I'll make sure I'll get through it."
"All right. I'll help you find the right date for the sealing later."
"Thank you very much." Katie smiled broadly then stood up to say goodbye home. But before he opened the door to the room, Katie looked back at Charlie. "Uhm... Was there a 'red king' before me who also sealed his power?"
"There was one person. He succeeded but, his life was not long because his enemy was cornering him until he had to break his seal. Bad luck for him, he died three years later because he often used his strength."
Katie was a loss of words.
Really. She had no idea whether Charlie was supporting her or even scaring her. For a moment, it looked like Charlie helped her, but now... why did the man scaring her?
"I'm not trying to frighten you. I'm just talking about the truth. If your heart is wavering, wouldn't it be better if you shouldn't do it? Live as red queen is not as bad as you thought."
"I'll still do it," Katie answered confidently, but there was still a ray of worry in her eyes.
"I'll give you good news. Your chances of getting through this ritual are ninety percent. Isn't it a good number? I heard your Umbra trained you in good physical and fitness. You will be fine."
"Really?"
"Of course. I never lie to my family."
Katie smile broadened then slightly bowed her head before walking toward the exit door.
"Ah, I forgot something. There will be some memories that she will forget during the sealing process." Charlie muttered. "Ah, never mind. If she lost memorable memories, you would help her, right?"
Dimitri emerged from the back of his work closet.
"If her memories of her life in Iowa disappeared, it would be better. Nothing good happened during her stay in Iowa."
Charlie nodded in understanding. "I remind you, as soon as the sealing process goes, no matter what happens, no one can disturb her. She must not be touched or moved."
"How can I know when the process starts and when it ends?"
"You will find out later."
"How long will it take before the heart starts to freeze?"
"It's only twenty-four hours since she stood in the cold wind. More than that, her heart will freeze rapidly."
Dimitri sighed a heavy sigh, starting to regret this sealing ritual. He wanted Katie to have a normal life; at the same time, he worried about the girl facing the risks.
"One more thing. Maybe you don't need it, but just in case I'll ask. Has the girl ever killed someone?"
"No. Her power never killed someone. I never let her."
"That's good, then. She'll be fine."
"..." Is there a problem that would occur in the ritual if Katie ever killed someone. "Did killing eight wolves are included? She once split their stomachs when she was eight years old."
Charlie's body tensed at this. He massages his brow with a heavy sigh.
"That also includes. Her force has tasted fresh blood. That is why she is increasingly unable to control her emotions. This sealing process will not be easy. Her strength will try to rebel and not want to be secured."
"She won't succeed?"
"It might also work. I guess she doesn't remember the incident?"
"No. She considers it as a dream."
Umbra and Morse's couple did not mention the eight wolves who died with their stomachs torn before Katie. Because of that, Katie only considered it a dream and forgot about it.
"She will succeed. Although now the chances are only eighty percent. I could see it. Her eyes are filled with kindness, and her heart is tender. I'm sure she succeeded. But you will need a particular medicine. An hour before she does the sealing, you must give her this medicine. This drug will help her heart stay awake and maintain her stamina to collect her life energy. "
"Where can I get this medicine?"
"There is a secret organization in Manhattan. I don't know the exact location, but you can find the symbols of the two lions on the eastern road sign. That will be your guide."
In the evening, without further ado, Umbra directly headed to the place Charlie intended.
After searching for hours without stopping, Umbra found a large and stately house filled with guards on each side. He also saw dozens of CCTV cameras mounted on hidden edges.
Umbra decided to jump over the fence right behind the camera when the camera moved forward. Then he climbed the wall and headed for the roof. If he couldn't enter through the door, he will come in through the top.
Then he entered through a window on the fourth floor, which happened to be unlocked. With extreme caution, Umbra walked out of the room without making a sound.
