The city often covered in a brew of magic energy. Hearth, a city as famous for its emotion fueled weather as the structure itself. As from an outside perspective it looks to be a maze of extremely thick walls. With a width of 24 feet the walls were patrol by hundreds of thousands of knight and even a couple hundred mages.
The city itself is a highly advanced housing treasure. The tier is unknown as its been passed down from Fontan to Fontan. As a country focused on war, expansion and power there is only 1 city and the lands around it carefully monitored wilderness groomed to the perfection of training and maturing the ability of mana. Making Fontan a trove for treasures and capabilities of finding new origin magic. The inner facing side of the walls are millions of doors lining side by side.
Each door housing familes. The walls of the city is embued with spacial magic and once a door is gifted the space withing is full customizable for the owner. Even this pales to the reason why Hearth city is revered as one of the strongest and one of the only countries still capable of using enslavement magic without repercussions. It gives every a treasure bound to the city and this treasure gives rise to the key to the city. A system.
The system is even give to the slaves and give task that is meant to grow one's strength and magic and acts like a guide. With the more levels you have the more you unlock about the city and the higher access you have with the highest levels being housing within the cities center. The city center were Alex, General Frazer and the unconscious Acele find themselves, before an unbearable and still mounting force of mana and rage of the queen. "General Frazer leave my husband is fond of you so I do not wish to kill you due to my rage." Knowing better then to speak, a nod of knowledgment and General Frazer flickers and disappears.
" So not only did you disobey your father you stole a treasure which if lost gives anyone the abilities of our restraining magic you worried me and did something foolish what do you say for yourself!" The queens voice pitching in octaves to the point of almost bursting Alex's eardrums.
" Mom I'm sorry but, my level is still low and other royals my age were going I just wanted a chance to get my own slave and perhaps even a promotion within the military." "Foolish, I reduce your military rank, and and revoke you as the crown prince. I hope this pathetic royal you capture was worth it! CRESTER!!," the queens sentence and order simultaneously taken place at the same time. The mark on Alex marking as the next heir dissappears along side the stolen treasure and a notice on his tablet which binds all to the city or those binded to the people of the city verifying Alex of the reduction. A crestor appears as well.
A crestor is one who specializes and binds magic which is impossible to break the terms of what is set. "Bind these two than all of you get out of my sight." the queen was done. The binding magic is cast and the scream of acele is hear by every morsel. Alex couldn't speak his other unusually cold took what he fought for away in mere seconds and the mark he always bore gone. By the time word came to mind he was in his own space alongside a slave that should have marked joyous moment ruined.

Ben was before King Chyles both having not spoken in hours. The silence broken by Ben." Balirus I approve your advancement to the rank of ambassador, therefor you shall manage the lands of Chyles expand it and enhance. Do this well and grow stronger and if you can hold on to it I shall give it to you." Without time to respond Ben returns Balirus back to command the army.
Chyles speaks "I have no hope of beating you myself but I know of your countries customs, but I also thought the fight is meant to be fare. Your son used a magic outlet and your heirloom at that. Surely you can be serious and count that as a fi..." " Enough! You should be worried about yourself, I should kill you but I can't so here a map of this domain. I could explain the situation here but I won't just know you would be a considered average here. Time is diluted here. You won't age due to the difference. A million years can pass by here and that's a mere second to me. Evan I am not the strongest here. Just know that map I gave you repairs and updates itself I only have one so good luck and try not to die." Ben is generous. "If you leave me alive I'll kill you." It was the last thing Ben heard from his closest friend as he flickered out of his hidden world.
