and let out a breath like he had just escaped a psychological ambush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s unbearable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said it out loud, with absolutely no attempt at subtlety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who thinks so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max turned his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine was still leaning a few metres further down the corridor against one of the walls, arms crossed, wearing an expression of complete distrust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mage raised an eyebrow slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honestly, I thought I was exaggerating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max walked over to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. Definitely not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crossed his arms as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s something about that woman that makes me uncomfortable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I couldn’t explain it precisely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked towards the closed classroom door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But her presence feels... wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine let out a small laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe she’s just unpleasant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That doesn’t help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them fell silent for a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, almost at the same time, they both looked towards the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We shouldn’t leave Elanor alone with her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You took the words right out of my mouth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max leaned his back against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then we stay near the classroom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just in case.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine did the same beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corridor fell into relative silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the distant murmurs of the castle could be heard and, occasionally, Thara’s voice faintly carrying through the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Max tried to ignore it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he clearly heard:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Public perception is important, Princess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine raised an eyebrow too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From inside, Thara’s voice continued, clear and perfectly professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The other capitals do not look favourably upon the heir of Eldoria having her own pet as a fiancé.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max felt a vein start pulsing in his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excuse me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine let out air through her nose, clearly trying not to laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thara kept speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn’t matter that he won your hand legitimately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said it loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is still a being from another world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gestured towards the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if even the Princess has fallen this far...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max pushed himself off the wall immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at the door like he was about to declare war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not allowing this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine grabbed him by the arm before he could move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Max.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are not going in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s insulting me in real time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine was already laughing now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And she called me a pet again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is technically accurate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max looked at her in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whose side are you on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No one’s.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile widened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m just saying perhaps letting the Princess have her lesson in peace is the more mature option.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max glared at the door like he wanted to set it on fire with his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That woman does not understand the meaning of peace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine let out a quiet laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max sighed and leaned against the wall again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting a diplomatic argument with his girlfriend’s new politics teacher was probably not the best use of his energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was tempting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very tempting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few more seconds passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Seraphine suddenly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max looked at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you have some new mission I can help with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could say that, yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can I help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mage tilted her head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever you need...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between Thara, Elanor, and his growing urge to commit diplomatic crimes, he had completely forgotten about the other thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ran a hand through his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his voice on instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to figure out who’s performing summoning rituals for beings from other worlds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine raised both eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That sounds oddly specific.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was just talking to the King and Dorian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly explained everything about the burned warehouse, the hidden room, and the strange creatures with metal and lights integrated into their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine listened in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression became serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is concerning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max crossed his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If someone is summoning things from other worlds, I need to find them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t add the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That literally the fate of the entire world depended on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minor details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine remained thoughtful for a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps I can help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a magical residue map.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An enchanted map.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said it as though it were the most normal thing in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It tracks fluctuations and residual traces of high-level magic throughout the kingdom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max’s eyes widened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That exists?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine smiled with a hint of satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am the most powerful mage in Eldoria.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed at herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I like having useful toys.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sounded incredibly cool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It could help us locate patterns of anomalous magic,\" she continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Especially if these rituals are using unusual energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max looked at her like she had just offered him access to a sacred relic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max felt a very specific and deeply nerdy part of his brain activate violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most powerful mage in Eldoria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant magical books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Artefacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Possibly enchanted weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extremely rare potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forbidden scrolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ridiculously collectible objects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind was already moving far too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Oh my god’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He imagined taking photos of absolutely everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Posting them on his old forum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Visited the Wand of Eldoria’s room and survived.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The comments would explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be premium content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max looked back at Seraphine with genuine excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer came out way too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine stared at him silently for a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she smiled with obvious amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t think it would be that easy to convince you to leave this awkward situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max pointed towards the classroom door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t care.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then pointed at himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m about to see the personal magical artefacts of the Wand of Eldoria.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re much easier to manipulate than I expected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We all have weaknesses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed towards the classroom again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yours seems to be distrusting unbearable teachers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And yours is clearly shiny objects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphine finally pushed herself off the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She started walking down the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max gave one last glance towards the closed classroom door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could still faintly hear Thara lecturing about diplomacy, public image, and other advanced forms of psychological torture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Sorry, Elanor.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought with a mixture of guilt and relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Survive.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned on his heel and followed Seraphine with almost childish enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because yes, they were probably investigating a dangerously serious interdimensional threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But first...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to enter the room of the most powerful mage in the
