Since time was of the essence for Gratya and Prisc, as powerful mages, they went flying!
Now about why Prisc agreed to go and torture the 2 spies, is because of her background.
Prisc has traveled the world a bit and had the privilege of getting her hands on documents about Mind Magic.
From this she learned how to destroy people''s minds and read them, or make them tell everything after torture.
Thus Prisci learned to physically and mentally torture any individual, where she became a good tool for the Royal Family.
Of course, for a short time, since Gratya did not wish her sister to do such things because she was forced to.
And Prisci appreciated this and stopped using torture, but continued practicing Mind Magic.
That is why Gratya came to her, even though she knew that this might have other motives.
And Prisc did not suspect, because she has always been careful and few know her dark identity, less than 10 individuals, the 2 Royal Guards being one of them.
So she is not worried about being discovered.
But never that she would have expected her bad luck to be so great, that Juri would receive as a reward, a list of the ultists in nearby towns.
And it turns out that her town was nearby and respectively her name came up!
If not for that, they would never find out, at least so soon, about Prisc being connected to the other side.
As for the 2 Royal Guards, Juri also wouldn''t know that they follow Prisc if not for that, since the information is: Hidden Spies!
She just joined the dots, since Prisc is the Queen''s sister!
...
In less than 15 hours, the two arrived at the Royal Capital, where Prisc was taken to Hurius, who greeted her with due politeness.
Then the two were allowed to rest, even though time is of the essence, there is no need to be so desperate.
So Prisc could regain her energy, just as she visited her grandfather and master, who acted as he did every time.
Prisc then touched on the subject, talking about the Human from Another World.
In the process she was given much of the information that Juri delivered, information that puzzled Prisc.
"That...is that true? Gravity...s being round... are we orbiting around the sun?" - Prisc swallowed her saliva.
She was intrigued and wanted to know more and more, so before she knew it, she spent the entire night reading and studying.
Who knew that her curiosity would be the reason for her downfall?
When Prisc was called, she had a look full of fascination, wanting very much to meet Juri, but she heard from her sister that she was gone.
She asked. - "I know it''s not in our nature, but ... why don''t we capture her?"
"It wouldn''t be possible, she apparently has many tricks and artifacts, she could escape and even if not, she apparently has methods to destroy herself and seriously injure or kill everyone here!" - Said Neferu''s Clone.
"Intriguing...couldn''t even you do something about it?" - Prisci asked curiously.
"Power I could freeze her before I could act, she is strong, but very young and inexperienced, but... we have put a spy with her, an Elf who will apany her and try to gather all the information she can!" - Neferu said calmly.
"A good move... I wish I could meet her, if it weren''t for us being unable to impregnate humans or impregnate them, I think it would be nice to have her marry one of the Princes!" - Prisc said sighing.
"She''s a Hermaphrodite!" - Said Gratya calmly.
"Really?" - Prisc was surprised, but soon giggled slightly.
"Actually, she is not 100% human, at least not the same as humans in our world, her blood has something special and strong... technically it is possible for her to impregnate us Elves!" - Said Gratya which made Prisc''s eyes widen.
"If that''s true... didn''t they try to marry her off to a Princess?" - Prisc was confused.
"It wouldn''t be possible, the society she lived in is very... liberal, apparently there are no Nobles and rtionships in most case is when there is really love or obligation, but hardly 2 individuals are forced to marry." - Neferu said calmly.
Prisci narrowed her eyes, but said. - "Ok, but this is not her world, her sister said she is stuck here until she figures out how to get back, so she will be forced to follow thews of our world!"
"It''s understandable to think that way, but we''d better not make her our enemy, because if she happened to escape from us and go to another nation, then hand over all her knowledge... well... we''d be in trouble!" - Neferu said sighing.
Prisc noticed this point and soon saw that they had arrived in the dungeon!
Screams echoed, Prisc frowned and clenched her fists.
"Sorry sister..." - Said Gratya touching Prisc''s arm, who looked at her and sighed.
"It''s okay, that''s necessary!" - Said Prisc touching her sister''s hand.
To Prisc, her sister''s apology is for the fact that it makes her go back to her old habits.
But it was nothing like that.
As Prisc passed through the dungeon door, she noticed a magic circle on the floor, which was not there before.
As she looked at Gratya and wanted to ask what it was, but an impulse sent her forward and she was thrown to the ground!
Prisci was stunned, confused, then the surrounding Mana built up and in moments currents of ice enveloped Prisci.
"Sister! What is that?!" - Shouted Prisc in despair, even though she already had an idea of what is happening.
Piercing*
Prisc vomited blood the instant something pierced her back from behind, looking, she saw an old man and transparent skin, where every expression would make cracks in the ice of his face.
"Master..." - Prisc spewed blood with her chest open.
"We know everything... I don''t know how you went that way, but my granddaughter... I beg forgiveness for not taking more care of you!" - Said Neferu and the wound area began to freeze and spread.
"No...you...will not!" - Prisci clenched her teeth showing a twisted expression of fury and pain.
Soon a dense, heavy ck mist spread from her body.
"Enough of this, it''s useless!" - Said Neferu and a golden light appeared, suppressing the ck mist.
"NO!" - Roared Prisci and the chains began to break, but quickly regenerated.
Neferu frowned and said. - "How many have you sacrificed for so much power?"
"Many! I sacrificed many!" - Prisci said in a mad tone and soon she started vomiting more and more blood.
And from her blood, a scream and cry began to echo, as a creature extended a long arm with a w, stabbing into the ground and forcing itself out of Prisci''s small pool of blood, which continued to grow!
Neferu extended his other hand and ice spines formed and pierced the creature, which began to show its head and let out a shrill, painful scream.
"I''M NOT GOING TO DIE LIKE THIS!" - Roared Prisci, who began to grow thinner and paler.
At that moment Neferu frowned, then pulled back his arm and noticed that something ck, like a parasite, was seeping into his body.
Without hesitation he broke this arm and threw it away, which exploded immediately afterwards.
Then a new arm appeared.
Neferu looked ruefully at his granddaughter bing so thin and distorted, then he brought his hand up to her head, and that''s when the creature''s long arm moved in towards her head.
Neferu didn''t even look, an ice shield came up and stopped the creature''s w, which didn''t even crack the shield.
But that still gave Prisci the time she wanted, the blood got to her feet and soon began to rise and consume her.
"That..." - Neferu was surprised and quickly attacked!
The creature''s w again rose and crashed into Neferu''s hand, where the w froze and broke in moments.
Neferu''s hand reached up to Prisci''s head, touched her hair, and then pierced her skull and brain!
Prisci was dead!
Kekekekeke!
A macabreugh echoed, Neferu for the first time in centuries, felt a terrifying fear.
"That ... child ... arrogant ... must pay ...
for his ... insolence ... to me!" - Aughing, macabre voice sounded, then blood consumed and devoured Prisci''s corpse.
Kekekekekeke!
Theughter continued for a long time, until it ceased!
"That... what was that?" - Hurius asked, who was having a trembling heart.
"That presence... that energy... it looks like... no, it can''t be...
because..." - Neferu shuddered, he has lived for over 400 years and knows a lot, and because he knows so much, his heart began to be consumed by the terror of knowing about this!
