In a dark room, a lone light, like a spotlight, shone down on a kneeling figure. Thick black chains and several black talismans with red writings bound and covered the figure.
The black chains were clearly made of anti-cast stones, and the talismans were magic seals that prevented the figure from rousing magic energy.
A woman's soft, almost narcotic voice spoke from within the darkness, addressing the kneeling figure. She said, "I never imagined we'd be in this situation, Disciple Tyr."
The figure, who was none other than Neo, lifted his head with great difficulty. Using his sensors, he tried to determine the voice's location but failed. Nevertheless, he was able to determine the owner of the voice. Though there were slight changes— because she sounded more mature than before— there was no doubt that the voice's sound frequency was still the same.
The Crown Princess, Haylee.
