Arkien gave her a long stare as she said these words, "You have said that if she goes to the other side of the gate, then it is impossible for them to capture her. Then the most logical thing would be for her to go back to the other side of the gate."
The empress laughed. The laugh brought chills down Arkien's spine. "It is not as easy as it seems. Here in my empire, there is a veil that prevents them from locating her. She is safer here. If it were not for the fact that she requested to go back to the academy, I would have kept her for myself and the empire, but the last thing I want is to anger her."
Arkien placed his head on his palm, looking at the empress with a frown on his face. "What do you mean?"
A strange smile filtered onto her face but she did not say a word about it. "So it is decided? Su Nuo Huan shall accompany her to the academy as protection from my empire."
Arkien laughed, "When did I agree to your demands?"
