Titania could not hold on any longer.

With a load of grievances in her heart, she fainted. She was already the lowest tier mage around, and after Eganius Cline grabbed and almost choked her to death, she could no longer take it. As weak as she was, after Egan’s manhandling methods with her, it would be a miracle if she could even keep herself conscious.

Coupled with Eganius’s cold glares, the last traces of her awareness collapse and she fell into an unconscious blackout.

Eganius Cline watched the girl he had just threatened successfully abruptly fall onto him, her forehead pressing onto his chest as her body lay limp in his arms. Her face looked as white as a sheet of paper as her breathing grew light and she seemed to have lost consciousness.

The cold aloof man couldn’t help but frown as he stared at the girl in his arms with utter displeasure. Eganius Cline hated being touched by strangers the most. And this girl just dared to violate him out of the blue!? How could he swallow this loss?

Just when he was about to raise his hand to pinch her neck to finally put her to an eternal rest in sheer rage, he heard the head elder of the Draíocht tower shout out, “Titania! How could you be so rude to the great lord Eganius Cline!!?”

Eganius Cline’s raised hands suddenly stopped in midair as he turned his head slowly towards the head elder with a slight frown, “…. What did you just say?”

The head elder was taken aback for a moment and looked a bit timid under Eganius Cline’s intense glare. “D-Did I offend you in any way, My lord?”

“…. Repeat what did you just call her.” Was Eganius Cline’s only demand.

“…Ti-Titania?” The head elder of the Draíocht tower was now even more puzzled as he eyed Eganius Cline with extreme caution.

All of a sudden, Eganius Cline’s expression fluctuated as he suddenly lowered his head and grabbed the face of the girl in front of him to really look at her.

‘Her name is Titania?’

He vaguely seemed to remember what his Nia had said when they met for the very first time, ‘__ Meeting is also a kind of fate. My nickname is Tania, but you can call me Nia.’

In her first introduction with him, his Nia revealed that her nickname was Tania, but she never really revealed her full name to him.

What was her full name?

Eganius Cline couldn’t help but frown in irritation at this notion, but he quietly put down the hand that he had raised to break her neck and called for a grand wizard and passed Titania down to him while instructing, “Take it away and lock it up.”

And then, Eganius Cline finally eyed the flustered head elder of the Draíocht tower and with a sinister cold smile spoke languidly, “If you want me to stop destroying you today, I have a single condition.”

The head elder could only gulp in fright as he timidly enquired, “W-What condition?”

“Bring me all the female disciples of your tower with the nickname Tania or Nia and I will stop.”

Titania finally opened her drowsy eyes in a dark damp cell. The entirety of the cell was a very cold place without a hint of light. It seemed as if she was transported to another dark dimension.

She was really shaken up today. After being frightened so repeatedly and almost crossing the door of Death, she really could not take it any more and was frightened to unconsciousness. She was really weak at this moment and she could hardly decipher what was going on at the moment.

She groggily woke up and finally awoke from her half-asleep state of mind when she remembered all the events that transpired today.

She leaned against the cold hard wall and thought, ‘Who the *Beep* placed that cursed communication key in that attic of the Draíocht tower? It was really a mistake to try and seduce the big devil disguised as a sweet young youth! If I didn’t know better, I’d think they are trying to intentionally harm me!’  

Now that Titania was all alone to fend for herself, she finally started recollecting her memories with Eganius Cline.

At the beginning, when he didn’t pay attention to her, and she didn’t really know who he was, she often used to harass him when she had nothing better to do. She did so, because she was too bored and she loved to listen to his voice. She used to be really arrogant and scoundrelous about it. No matter how angry he got, she was never afraid.

When he got angry, he would often threaten her by words such as, “If you don’t shut up this instant, I will kill you.” But she never took his threats to heart.

“Hahaha…. Don’t be stupid! How are you going to do that!? You don’t even know where I live. Are you going to kill me by coming out through this rusty old communication key? Although I’m very curious about what you look like, but I’m not curious enough to come and find you yet.”

Egan, “…….”

Titania, "You young people nowadays, tsk! tsk! Why are you all so short-tempered? I recently heard of an interesting gossip about short-tempered people. The new young elder from the alchemy department and the elder from the healing department recently made a bet, but the young elder of the alchemy department lost terribly in front of all. He was very ashamed and humiliated. And tell you what, he is a very short-tempered person. So, when he was humiliated in front of all, he got so angry that he vomited a fit full of blood in sheer rage.”         

Egan, “……..”

Titania, “Hahahaha! Can you believe it? He was hospitalized in the infirmary of the very elder he lost to for a whole week. And after that, he became a famous joke in front of all the disciples of my tower, and he was talked and gossiped about everywhere for a really long time. Hahahaha!”

Egan, “……..”
