Liora was trembling all over in fear.

She did not know how, and she did not know why, but a transcendent being had taken a fancy to her own daughter... and she had dared to be rude to them.

He was not only extremely handsome, but he was also incredibly powerful.

She had found it strange that she couldn’t sense any mana residue on him when he materialized in front of their confinement, seemingly out of nowhere.

How then did he get past the tight security and the mana-cancelling and weakening measures in place?

Now that he had used this ability before her without her even sensing any mana being used, it made perfect sense that he was a transcendent.

The kingdom could definitely not afford an artifact that would affect a transcenden’t mana or control their actions. And that she could sense no mana being used at all from him....

It further proves her point since she’s never met any transcendent beings before, so she was sure it was one of their abilities that others could not sense their mana.

How the kingdom was able to summon a hero already this powerful was beyond her, and she dared not think too deeply about it.

It wasn’t a hidden fact that everyone had heard about the summoning of an item box hero, with all in the capital making jest and daring to ridicule his name....

If only they knew.....

That this person could burn the capital down to the ground if he decides to go for it.

And she could also tell that this person was keeping his real identity a secret, else everyone in the kingdom would know of his honored status as a transcendent.

And seeing how he is still so young, she also confirms another thing she has heard to be true. And that was that a person who has achieved transcendence could revert to the age of their choosing.

Liora trembled on the ground as those thoughts ran like wildfire in her head. She felt fortunate that she hadn’t gone too far with her condescension.... If not, she might just have sealed her and her daughter’s fate to a bad ending.

Now it all made perfect sense why her daughter had taken the hero of item box as her master. She realised Kaelara must have seen his power, and knew from the onset that this person was an honored transcendent.

Now she felt so foolish. She had been the blind one, and her daughter had been right all along.

Amused, Zorat was just about to ask this woman why the sudden drastic change in her attitude, when he heard Kaelara’s voice from behind.

"Now you see, mother...."

"You have been enlightened to my master’s greatness!"

"Master, please forgive her, she did not understand!" Kaelara turned and beckoned to Zorat to forgive her mother’s sins.

"Yes!. Hored one, please forgive me, I have failed to understand." Liora intoned in accordance.

Uh?... what are they understanding and failing to understand?

Zorat looked in confusion at these two gorgeous women on their knees. He had seen no need to hide his domain veil ability from them because they couldn’t understand it even if they saw it.

And he would be using another one of his abilities to get them out of there. Using Void Domain for such a long time might damage a weak human’s soul, so he was going to do something similar to what he did with Erica, and he had already set up the preparation at the cabin.

That they would see him using these abilities was of no consequence since he only had to tell Kaelara not to mention it, and she wouldn’t. As for her mother, he also couldn’t leave her there.

Leaving her alive and going away with Kaelara would leave a loose end behind; however, taking her away would make her a runaway fugitive. Her survival would be her biggest concern.

He noticed there might have been some misunderstanding with what he had just done because he was certain they for sure did not understand what really happened.

Kaelara’s present state was actually all her... Zorat’s matured seed of subordination promotes trust, loyalty, and an inability to disobey when Zorat goes through the effort of issuing a command.

Only the last part is an active state, and the rest are passive.

This devotion can be interpreted in several ways, based on the personality of the subject and their general inclinations.

Kaelara’s own development was... unique, to say the least.

And looking at the woman on the floor next to her with her round waist in the air.... It would seem the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and such exaggerated tendencies run in the blood.

Like mother, like daughter it seems.... Hehehe.

"Okay... whatever it is you both have failed to understand, consider yourselves forgiven...." Zorat said dismissively as Liora looked at her daughter, smiling at her newfound lease on life.

Kaelara smiled back at her and nodded that she had done well.

"...Now you both make some space," Zorat added, gesturing to the center of the cell.

He needed to get things done before that ancestor figure interferes.

Though that man cannot actually succeed in restraining or killing Zorat..... but Zorat also can not yet do him any lethal harm.

It would just end in a stalemate with Kaelara possibly taking damage as a result. And he couldn’t have that with how valuable she was.

The ladies, though unsure what Zorat had planned, immediately cleared the center of the dungeon as he got to work.

After several minutes, Zorat was finally done inscribing the space runes onto the center of the dungeon, and since it would be erased once used, there would be no evidence of its activation.

A few royal guards had wandered into that area while Zorat worked, and now their bodies lay gathered to the side outside the cell, with small puncture holes running through their skulls.

But soon, more would come, so Zorat led both ladies to the center and advised them to clear their minds of every thought, leaving their souls in a restful state.

That should help ease the burden on their souls, so they don’t pass out as Erica did.

They obediently did as instructed, closing their eyes as Zorat activated the runic inscriptions, with all three of them vanishing from the underground dungeon in an instant.
