Date- 7 April 2321

Time- 10:15

Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital, Southern Royal Palace

”So, all these are the trophies your ancestors collected from the demons?” Aba asked Ann, watching the neatly displayed various artifacts that apparently Annʼs ancestors collected after defeating demons. 

”Impressive,” as I looked at the Southern Royal familyʼs collection of devil-rank ingredients. To think that they would waste such excellent-grade ingredients as trophies to display the splendor of their ancestorʼs power and achievements instead of using them to create powerful cards. 

”Well, recently we have discovered that most of these artifacts were collected by our ancestors when they invaded the demon realm, or the dark realm as the demons call it,” Ann suddenly made a huge revelation surprising the boy and Agatha as for the others they did not understand or care the implication of invading the dark realm meant. 

”Wait, you are telling me that your ancestors had traveled to the dark realm,” I asked Ann in surprise because I clearly remember Ann claiming that the Southern Royal family did not possess any technique that would allow them to travel to other worlds. 

Understanding what the boy was getting at Ann hurriedly explained, ”Yes, our ancestors did know how to travel to the dark realm. According to Anna, they created that technique because the only way to truly kill a devil was to kill them in the dark realm. However, with time and other circumstances, our family has lost that technique. Recently, Anna had a chance to learn that technique but you know Anna, she is not that good when it comes to using her brain so that fool forgot the precious technique to travel to the dark realm.” 

”Are you telling me that at some point in your family history, your ancestor knew how to travel to other worlds but you guys lost it?” I asked unable to fathom how could someone lose such an important technique. Shouldnʼt they be guarding it with their life?

”No, my ancestorʼs technique did not allow them to travel to other worlds but just the Dark realm. According to what Anna remembers they created this technique using the devil/demon-summoning technique that the demons had spread across the card world. As far as I know, only the top ten universities are trying to create methods to travel to other worlds and Morningstar University is leading that race,” Ann corrected the boyʼs misunderstanding. 

”I see,” the boy said as disappointment flashed in his eyes, and then he bargained, ”Are you sure Anna doesnʼt remember anything? Did you guys try to use the memory array to help her remember the technique?” 

”We did but it was useless, there are many variables to this apart from Annaʼs stupidity,” Ann answered the boy. And she was not lying when she said that they tried every method to help jog Annaʼs memory as a technique to invade the dark realms would have proven a necessary addition to their arsenal to kill a devil permanently. Ann even tried to read Annaʼs memories but for some reason, she could not access the part of Annaʼs memory where she communicated with their ancestors this was one of the many variables that Ann spoke of, stopping the royal family from extracting the technique from Annaʼs memories. 

”Sigh,” I shook my head in disappointment because I felt that I could finally get my hands on the coordinate of the Dark realm but it seems it was not meant to be. Maybe I should ask Corey Park for the Dark Realmʼs coordinates but then I would risk her deducing that I was a demon merchant based on all my previous inquiries to her about the dark realm, dark languages, and the devil merchants. 

Stuck in the royal palace I did not have much to do so I got excited at the thought that I could get the coordinates of the dark realm to explore it. Therefore, I could not help but feel disappointed over it. 

Seeing the disappointment on the boyʼs face, Ann frowned because the palace tour was not going as she planned it to. Well her plan was doomed to fail the moment Aba and the rest tagged along but Ann did not give up because the opportunity to spend time with the boy without Annaʼs intrusion was rare for her so she decided to improvise her plan with the circumstances but the entire palace tour the boy has been expressing boredom and now disappointment. 

The boredom was part of Annʼs plan, she thought that using the moment the boy was bored she could use the opportunity to make out with the boy in the corners of the palace. However, the presence of Aba and the rest had put a dent in that plan. Not to mention, every time she tried to physically get close to the boy, Aba would come between them out of nowhere. It happened so many times that Ann no longer thought that it was a mere coincidence but Aba was doing it on purpose. 

Therefore, she timed again and glanced at Aba asking her to back off but Aba would act ignorant in response to her requests, pleas, and finally warnings. This shorty was getting on Annʼs nerves. She thought of various reasons to ditch Aba and the rest but none seem to work. Aba was stuck to the boy like a fly to the honey. No matter what Ann did Aba would come hovering back. 

”I have seen enough old artifacts, paintings, and walls for one day, if we leave now we can make it to the card association auction house, I heard the auction house is auctioning quite a collection of rare cards today,” Seeing the power for Corey and the boy first hand Aba realized that she was very weak. Therefore she planned to make for it by staking up strong rare cards. Therefore she wanted to attend the auction held by the southern capitalʼs card associationʼs auction house however she could not leave knowing that Ann was trying to seduce the boy. As Susanʼs good friend, she had to protect Susanʼs man.
