Ethan grabbed Roina’s wrist, which was trying to push him away, and pressed it down to the floor. His lips were persistently stimulating Roina’s skin, and his tongue and lips, which had regained warmth, were very moist and hot. Every time they brushed over the sensitive peaks of her b*****s, her toes curled. It was as if her body was crying out to absorb more of his energy and create golden energy.

‘But I can’t waste any more time here.’

Roina gritted her teeth and pushed Ethan away forcefully. It wasn’t a very strong force, but a wind blew around her, pushing him away as well. Ethan finally tumbled away from her due to her power.

“I’m sorry!”

I’ll come back later to save you, so please wait just a little, just a little.

Roina thought that and moved urgently to escape that space. That place, which looked like a large cavity inside a cave, moved on its own to make way when the Crown Prince passed through. She should be able to create a path like that using the key she had created.

Roina quickly but calmly groped the wall and connected the black coins that served as the key. Just as she was about to move the mana and escape, a rough male hand grabbed her ankle.

“Ah!”

Roina lost her balance and rolled on the floor, and Ethan climbed on top of her. He moved silently like a huge beast and pressed her down. His huge body was pressing down on her. When Roina looked up, sharp eyes, now fully regained their senses, were looking down at her.

“You’re trying to run away again, aren’t you.”

“Ethan.”

Roina looked at him with hardened eyes. It seemed that she had no choice but to use harsh measures against Ethan to escape this place after all.

“Please let me go.”

“I can’t. I can’t. I can’t let you go.”

Ethan’s eyes were filled with burning hatred and thirst. The situation where he had fallen into the abyss because of her and had no choice but to become the Crown Prince’s slave, the self-loathing that he had caused not only himself but also his family to die, and the passion that still worshipped her despite all that, all swirled together in his pupils.

He was pouring all those emotions onto Roina, holding onto her. Wanting to possess her, and at the same time, wanting to submit to her.

Roina thought that she had a lot to talk to him about, but now was not the time.

Having made up her mind, Roina suddenly hugged Ethan’s neck and kissed him. Not expecting her to do that, Ethan’s eyes widened as he looked at her. Roina absorbed a little more of Ethan’s energy and then raised her golden energy to block his consciousness from within.

Realizing that, Ethan tried to resist until the end, putting strength in his eyes, but eventually collapsed on top of her. Roina struggled to push his heavy body aside and moved her feet to press down on the coins serving as the key, moving the mana.

According to her command, the mana circuits of the Imperial Palace moved, and the wall reassembled itself on its own. Finally, a passage to the outside opened before her.

‘To think the Archmage would be hidden here.’

He carefully observed the black substance surrounding the Archmage. There were ancient characters here as well. Their role was to bind and corrupt him, and…

‘As I thought, the Archmage is the sacrifice.’

Preparation of the sacrifice. A huge and extensive transaction. The cradle of that sacrifice will be moved to the hall when the ritual is held.

Yoseph thought that and looked around. The surroundings were full of traps. There might be traps he couldn’t detect. With his weak instantaneous response ability, he wasn’t sure if he could escape from this place alone with the Archmage.

‘First, I’ll retreat.’

He knew Roina had come here for the Archmage, but if Yoseph tried to save the Archmage now, he would either become a hostage himself or die here. Making a quick decision, Yoseph raised his hand to erase the traces of his entry.

At that moment, the Archmage’s eyelids opened.

The pupils of his golden eyes had changed to be vertically elongated. As if he wasn’t human.

Feeling a chill at the sudden situation, Yoseph hurriedly left that place. A black spear immediately plunged into the spot where he had been.

‘I almost died.’
