Chapter 71: Finding Celia.

  Ria: “Midas, we cannot find Celia!” She exclaimed, bursting into Midas’s office.

  Midas: “?”

  Celia: “?”

  Ria And Maralia: “( ? _ ? )”

  Sitting on a couch, Celia was just leisurely eating a delicious-looking desert. The kidnapping was overly planned, but the return wasn’t at all.

  In fact, Tia had just teleported Celia back to her home city after their meal ended. Of course, with her memories of that time hidden, Celia herself was bewildered, but calm.

  Ria: “Celia, what happened after we lost sight of you?” She asked with a relieved expression.

  Celia: “I don’t really know. That huge Slime took me, and then, the next thing I knew, I was at one of the gates of this city.” She answered with an unsure tone.

  Maralia: “Well… just as long as you’re okay.” She said with a deadpan tone.

  Maralia kept her memories of her last life, with Xena not truly knowing why this was. Either way, Maralia had already long since gotten used to Celia’s direct and indirect antics, brushing it all off.

  Ria, informed of the truth of Celia’s sacrifice, and the past, hadn’t fully taken in Maralia’s revelations just yet. So, once she saw Celia, Ria quickly left, choosing to go contemplate in her room.

  After all, Celia was now fine, and with Maralia, or Midas here, both women who were significantly stronger than Ria herself, there’d be no problem.

  A Week Later.

  Carma: “Dear sister of mine… would you put on this collar for me?” She pleaded with a crazed look on her beautiful face.

  Celia: “That would… depend on what kind of collar that is. It doesn’t look… normal.” She nervously answered, taking a few steps back.

  One of the maids mentioned that Carma wanted to see Celia privately in her room. As such, and with great trust in her sister, Celia went there. Only to now be locked inside, with Carma acting weird.

  Carma: “I had Midas make this collar, you see. It will restrict your power down to at least Level 50.” She explained, getting closer and closer.

  Celia: “Okay, but why would you put such a thing around my neck? Your sister’s dainty neck! This is for criminals, not me!!!” She yelled, fully backed up against the wall.

  Celia merely closed her eyes for a second, forgetting that Carma was still a higher Level than herself. The princess (Carma) had closed the gap between them in that time, putting the collar around Celia’s neck without remorse.

  Celia: “…”

  Carma: “Now, check your Status, Celia.” She happily requested.

  Celia: “Status.” She weakly followed along with her sister’s demands.

  :Status:

  Name: Celia.

  Carma: “Hah, it worked!” She said with an excited tone.

  Click!

  Seconds later, and only after gazing at Celia’s Status, being impressed by her and Midas’s work, Carma took the collar off her sister. Then the princess gently guided her confused sister out of her room, leaving Celia to look dazed outside Carma’s door for a few minutes.
