The Seal Of Targid

''I thought that Sent had everything under control? What am I hearing from Magus?'' Prince Bane was pacing in his study when he heard that there was a union going on at Magus between the three Princes and a lady who suddenly showed up.

The messenger that brought the message to Prince Bane dared not say anything for fear of him getting his tongue ripped out.

''Is it confirmed that the lady in question is an Usylon?'' Prince Bane asked even though he knew the answer to his question already.

''I think... I think so, my Lord...'' the messenger replied and held his breath as he expected the Prince of Persia to transfer his anger at him.

''Ha! I am finished...'' Prince Bane cried and dismissed the messenger.

''Don't fail to come back here with any new development, okay? And call my uncle on your way out...'' Prince Bane said.

The messenger bowed and walked out, and in a short while, Prince Bane's uncle entered the study.

''Uncle Xavier...'' Prince Bane was close to tears.

''Bane, you sent for me...'' Xavier took a seat in front of his nephew and anticipated what Prince Bane wanted to say to him.

''Uncle Xavier, there is a union going on in Magus. It is the Princes and an Usynol...'' Prince Bane reported, beside himself.

''Has it been confirmed that the girl is an Usynol? You know rumours travel faster than the truth. You misght just be getting worked up for nothing...'' Xavier leaned back on his seat and spoke to his nephew calmly.

'Uncle Xavier, it is an Usynol girl. Those Princes have waited too long in their life for them to settle for less. Besides, the messenger that delivered the information to me confirmed that the boys are getting married to an Usynol.'' Prince Bane took a seat in his study, then got up again, then took a seat again.

He was all over the place.

''Okay, in order for us to put an end to this confusion, I'll take a trip to Magus to see for myself.'' Xavier suggested.

''The union is already taking place as we speak. If your going there would not put an end to the union, then there is no need to go there, Uncle Xavier.'' Prince Bane shook his head.

''I'm not saying that my going there would have anything to do with stopping the union or not. I just wnat to help you confirm if the girl in question is an Usylon.'' Xavier got up as he spoke.

''If the girl there is not an Usylon, then you have nothing to worry about. But if she is an Usylon, then we would think of a plan. But for now, remain calm and wait for me to return from Magus. Wait for my word.'' Xavier left the Prince's chamber when he finished speaking.

Prince Bane watched his uncle's back in horror as the man left the study.

''Of course, she's an Usylon, Uncle Xavier.'' Prince Bane said under his breath.

He was sure.

''The union has come to pass after more than one thousand years...''

''I never thought that in my life and existence, I would witness the union. I can't believe it...''

''Finally, we have a chance to be out of the grips of Prince Bane...''

The people of Magus celebrated and cheered as the union between Prince Harry, Barry, and Larry Vandersar, commenced with Margaret Usylon, the only surviving Usylon in the world.

''Where did Mr. McGuire find her? Mr. McGuire is sent by the gods to deliver us from forever anguish...'' The people of Magus continued to speak up.

Collin Vandersar led the Princes to the union ground where they signed the seal of targid.

What was the seal of targid?

It was the seal that would be bound by the blood of the three princes, mixed with the blood of Margaret Usylon that would alter the destiny of the people of Magus. Whatever the fate of the people of Magus was at the time the seal was done, would be for the better.

That indeed meant that Prince Bane was going to lose his stronghold on Magus.

''A traitor is among us. Or is it a foreigner? Someone poisoned McGuire with Prism Poison, that is why he is not here with us today.'' Collin Vandersar took the stead and announced to the people of Magus.

Everyone gasped when they heard what Collin Vandersar said. They looked within themselves, each one blaming the other with their eyes, hoping that the traitor was not him or her.

''Whoever finds out the person who has poisoned McGuire of the Vandersar Palace, will be duly rewarded.'' Collin Vandersar proclaimed, and then the union continued with great cheer.

Sent and Roger exchanged glances from afar, both of them knowing fully that unless Roger leaked the secret, nobody in Magus would know who poisoned McGuire. Oh wait. One person was there to worry about.

Lucas.

''Don't you think he would give us out?'' After the union, Roger and Sent got talking, and Roger described his worry concerning the source from where Sent got the poison.

''He is my boyfri...'' Sent almost revealed herself to Roger that she was cheating on Prince Bane and was only with him to grab what she could and leave, but she soon realized herself and changed the direction of her conversation.

''Don't worry about the source, Roger. Have I ever failed at anything I do?'' Sent asked.

Roger looked at Sent with an obvious smirk. If they were going to talk about her failing, she had just failed in giving the poison to Margaret, instead someone else drank it.

''That does not count as a failure.'' Sent said to Roger dismissively, stamped her feet andgrily, and walked away to go and attend to her mistress, the newly wedded, Margaret Vandersar. Soon she would become the Queen of Magus.

The thought of the fact that Margaret would soon become the Queen, made Sent puke in her mouth. Was she going to be stuck playing the job of a maid to Margaret forever?
