Anaya was literally furious after hearing her wife say that she was going to try to take that cursed seal away from them, but what was she thinking.
In anger Anaya spanked her and said : "My love, do I have to remind you of your promise all the time, you promised me not to use your spiritual energy unless it is a question of life or death until we arrive at the palace, I won't let you forget it."
Celia couldn't believe that Anaya had spanked her, she had let escape a cry more of surprise than harm because Anaya would never hurt her intentionally, so she replied : "My fault, my fault, so sorry my baby wife, I was too immerse in the whole story to remember that i should not use my spiritual energy."
Celia gave her the most puppy eyes that she could do to try to coak her wife and fortunately it worked.
Anaya said to her : "Alright my love, you already used your spiritual energy to save them from their bond so don't do anything more for the meantime, I'm sure they still can wait a few more days, right ?"
The magic beasts nodded their head and came rubbing against her to show her that they were grateful.
Celia thought that they were too cute while Anaya said to them : "Back off, she is mine."
Liam spoke too after have watched them : "I agree with Anaya on that, you scared me too much back then, i don't want to see you again faint and stay unconscious for a day."
Alec nodded too so Celia could only capitulated she said to them : "Okay guys, don't worry i will be a very obedient girl till we reach the palace, and for you my magic beasts I'm sorry but like you can see it, I have been scolded by my wife and my friends so you will have to wait a little bit more to enjoy a complete freedom, by the way like i told you already you can back home anytime you want, so what do you choose ?"
The magical beasts replied in unison that of course they were going to follow them, from their point of view they already owed Celia a blood debt, the three of them have been save by her.
Also Celia's wife was the golden dragon, she was the most powerful mystical creature that could exist, it was already a great honor for them to be able to stay by their side and if Celia succeeded in removing their cursed seal, they could probably grow strong enough to be able to protect them and fight for them.
Once this conversation was over, they all left for the palace, as Liam had already told them, the magic beasts knew very well the forbidden forest and they helped them to find very rare magic herbs, some were actually not listed in Linda's inventory, Celia was very excited to find out what they could be used for, and she was sure that the magic herbs books found in the cave were even more comprehensive than those written by Linda.
While going for the high level magic herbs they came across a level eight black tiger and a level seven purple fox who also agreed to follow them after talking with the other magic beasts.
Indeed, who would refuse this offer, to have a chance to be able to remove the cursed seal without having to create a bond with this mage, that is to say to remain completely free, it was even too good to be true.
But after having discovered that this mage had already broken the bonds that had held the other magic beasts with humans and that the other girl was the golden dragon, the too good to be true turned into the chance of a lifetime to be able to accomplish something important in following these two women.
During the past days, the boys had taken care of the magic herbs and Anaya along with the black tiger and the white panther had taken care of the magic beasts hostile to them in the forbidden forest.
Celia had been on the wolf's back most of the time studying the dictionary of runes and how to use the materials to create permanent engravings.
However she had not been able to put into practice what she had learned as she had to use the spiritual energy for that, and after the scolding she had been through just after the fight with the participants, she hadn't tried to use any even though she felt perfectly fine.
Thus After five days of collecting magic herbs with the blue papers in the Forbidden Forest, they finally arrived where the palace was marked on the map that Tal had given to them.
Liam and Alec tried to find out something but they couldn't feel anything, like execpted the palace was nowhere to be seen.
Liam asked Celia : "Cel, congrats you have definitely been a obedient girl those past few days, I'm sure you are craving to use your spiritual energy now."
Celia looked at him and with a playfully tone like Liam when he said this sentence : "If you know what's good for you won't ever say that again, why losing your time to flatter me when you just have to ask for help, um."
Both of them laughed like it was a ritual for them to tease each other.
Celia stood up in a small open space, they were still in the forbidden forest so where was the palace was still a mystery same the magic beasts had never seen it before.
Celia froze and use the same ability to detect the color around the people, she then saw something it was an energy ripple in a big trunk tree.
Celia thought that could be the enter of the palace, she said to everyone : "There is only a small ripple of energy inside that big tree, so who go first ?"
