Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital, Southern Royal Palace, Guest Palace

Aria announced the results of her search in disbelief. Ann, Lorenzo, and Colleen simultaneously exclaimed, "How is this possible?"

"He has the dummy ring, it should be impossible to track him using ordinary curse cards. This could only mean he is purposefully letting us track his location. He is freaking taunting us," Colleen yelled at top of her lungs.

It was not that Ann, Lorenzo, and Colleen did not think of using curses to track the boy, they just skipped over it because he had the dummy ring which made it impossible to use standard curse cards to track him.

As for why Ann encouraged Aria to track the boy using a curse card? It was because she knew that it took a lot of courage on Aria's part to speak her mind in front of her grandma and Lorenzo out of her initiative. Therefore Ann could not bring herself to shoot the little girl down and instead complimented her for thinking out of the box for a simple bodyguard job and for showing initiative in her job. This meant that she took her job seriously.

Ann's encouragement had led to Aria being able to track the location of the boy but what if Aria had failed to track the location of the boy? That didn't matter because what mattered here was the fact that Aria took initiative and was able to see it through. Especially when Colleen, Lorenzo, and Ann did not bother to consider it thinking that it was an obvious dead end.

"I had warned that the boy has successfully faked his death twice it would not be impossible for him to do it the third time." Lorenzo immediately related the trick boy used to escape the southern capital to the trick he used to fake his death twice. And then continued to add, "Fortunately, the boy did not go into hiding otherwise this incident would become the third time he successfully managed to fake his death and not to mention without Anna's help we would not be able to trace his location. This also means that there is still room to negotiate."

"Negotiate? What the f.u.c.k is there to negotiate? We did nothing wrong here, all we are trying to do is nurture and protect a budding talent of the southern region. If anything, it is that boy who is at fault for being stubborn and unreasonable. He is an enemy of his own life. That is it, I had enough, I am going to the sky blossom city this instant and haul that boy's a.s.s over here," Colleen raised her brows listening to Lorenzo's words.

Colleen did not seem to like the sound of the idea that the Southern Royal family would have to negotiate with a stubborn high schooler who did not know anything better. Since when did the Southern Royal family start to negotiate to do what was right for its region and its citizens?

Colleen did not think like this because of her bruised pride but because this was not the way the Southern royal family had operated since it was established. And she was not going to change how it operated now just to accommodate the stubbornness of an unreasonable teenager. Enough was enough.

"Your Highness, please don't act impulsively. First, listen to me, then you can do as you see fit," Lorenzo begged Colleen to listen to what he had to say first before acting rashly.

"Speak," Colleen said suppressing her rage. If the boy was here she would whoop his a.s.s until their shape turned from convex to concave.

"Let me first completely a.n.a.lyze the boy's trick which allows him to escape mortal situations outside of his realm, because even if you manage to drag him back to the southern royal palace what is stopping him from escaping again?" Lorenzo did not try to persuade Colleen not to use force against the boy because she would not listen to it. Instead, he asked her to face the boy fully prepared.

With Colleen's strength, it would not be hard for her to kill the boy even before he can react but the same could not be said about capturing him while bringing him no harm. Especially when the boy seemed to have a miraculous ability that allowed him to escape circ.u.mstances that were impossible to escape for someone in his realm. So asking Colleen to capture the boy without harming him was like asking a mortal to capture a housefly without harming it.

"Fine, I will give you two days," saying that Colleen turned to leave. Seeing her leave Ann hurriedly asked in concern, "Grandma, where are you headed?"

"Where else do you think? To sky-blossom city, I can't trust others to protect the boy," Colleen said having learned the lesson from the Freedom Fighter incident.

"I will come too," Ann decided to tag along with her grandma and finally make some time to get quality alone time with the boy she desperately craved. However, she was immediately shot down by her grandma, "No, you stay here and take over the affairs of the royal court since sister-in-law is busy beating some discipline into Anna."

"Your Highness, if I may? Can I join you? After all, I am Master Wyatt's bodyguard," Aria immediately knelt in front of Colleen and begged.

Aria, this little girl felt like the entire sky was cras.h.i.+ng down on her. Her first mission was proving to be much more difficult than she could have ever antic.i.p.ated. How did the target manage to teleport from the Southern royal palace guest house to the sky blossom city without alerting the huge protection array covering each and every centimeter of the Southern royal palace? Inside the protection array, unauthorized teleportation was impossible even for a demiG.o.d. Even Her Highness Colleen, Minister Lorn, and the interim southern emperor Ann did not seem to have an answer to this.

Aria did not let this little setback break her instead she continued to kneel in front of Colleen and beg while shouldering all the blame for the incident, "Your Highness, please give me a chance to rectify my blunder?"
