After Tcf Ron and Beacrox left the room to have a 'talk' with the spies. Cale asked Eruhaben-nim to return back to normal the assembly hall.

In just a snap of fingers, the dents on the wall was fixed, the blood splattered on floor was gone and the table and chairs was properly arrange as if no summoning or anything happened.

On the right side of the long table, The Crown Prince and Heroes was sitted. Alberu, Tasha, Choi Han, and Rosalyn, Lock, Cage, Ron and Beacrox.

On the left side is the otherworlder. Alberu, Cale, Eruhaben, and Choi Han, Rosalyn, Mary, Hanna and Jack. While Raon is curled up in the table infront of Cale, On and Hong is on his lap.

"Let's start the meeting." Emperor Alberu said while smiling.

Crown Prince Alberu smile the same, but his attention is on the red head that look sleepy while patting the black dragon.

He's still feel betrayed and naive like Cale said but he need to put his emotions aside and focus on much more important things at hand.

"I have a question first." He said.

"What it is?"

"How did you know that they were Spies? We've been with them for years but we didn't notice anything." He is curious. All of his attendant and subordinates, even the heroes are thoroughly investigated by his aunt and the dark elves.

"Collar." Cale said in a low voice.

"Collar? But they don't have any." Hero Choi Han asked.

"It's a collar made of mana. It is so faint that even a archmage will have a hard time to notice if they didn't focus on the individual." The one who explained is Tcf Rosalyn.

"Then how?"

"Is that really a question human?" Said by the ancient dragon.

'oh'

Of course noticing the collar is really hard for mages but for dragons who are called Emperor of magic, it is easy as breathing.

"Raon notice it after the golden light faded. He said that a pulsing gray collar was on their neck." Cale added.

Raon stand up when his name was mentioned and puff his chest proudly. "I am a great and mighty dragon after all."

"Yes yes! You are great and mighty." Cale smile from the cute antics.

The cute interaction of the two made everyone in the room smile. It make the atmosphere lighter.

"Their collar might be from slavery or previous imprisonment. But earlier you are so sure that they were spies. Why?" The Crown Prince asked. There are a lot of questions popping on his head that needed an answer.

"Tch.. Their collar is very special, it is made of mana and dead mana mixed together.." Eruhaben answered when he notice Cales gaze.

The Crown Prince flinched from the mention of dead mana.

"But how? I mean mana and dead mana can't be used simultaneously nor can be mixed together. So how?" Hero Rosalyn asked, she is so confuse right now.

A undetectable collar made of mana is  really hard to create, she didn't try it yet but by the gist of it, it will take a lot of resources and time. And now the ancient dragon is telling that it is made of mana and dead mana mix together?
