"Master, what is going on?"
Despite all that was going on, Magus Xion still flashed him a smile, strained though it may be. He beckoned Emery and said, "What's with that look? Let us talk inside."
With one gesture from Magus Xion, Yuria nodded and walked away to give them some privacy, letting Emery and his master talk undisturbed.
"Long story short… let's just say our plan didn't really go as well as we hoped."
"What do you mean, master?"
"I thought my master would be satisfied with the stone I gave to her. At first, she was fine with the arrangement, but I should have expected that after she felt the power brimming within the stone, she would inevitably wish for more… It's the same case as before."
The news certainly gave Emery some worries. When he saw his face, the magus gave a slight smile and said.
"Don't worry too much. It wasn't as bad as it sounds."
