Huyan Sai sensed the unusual behavior of the female slave beside him, a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes. He asked with concern:

"What’s wrong with you?"

The female slave clutched her heart and subconsciously looked south, as if in that distant land, there were people she cared about.

"I want to...I want to go south!"

The female slave spoke firmly, though her head throbbed slightly.

Who is it? Who is it in the south?

She...can't remember.

Upon hearing the female slave's words, Huyanse stood up from his seat with his strong body and grabbed her wrist.

"No!"

Huyan Sai's sharp, eagle-like eyes were fixed on the female slave, his imposing aura was intimidating.

Huyan Sai knew very well which country was to the south.

He absolutely forbade her to go back.

The female slave tried to pull her arms back to break free from Huyan Sai's grip, but the harder she tried, the tighter he held on.

The female slave had no choice but to give up struggling, but her face showed no sign of compromise as she firmly said, "I want to go south!"

"Why? Isn't it good to have me by your side?" Huyan Sai's pupils dilated slightly, and he took a step forward.

Sensing the dangerous aura emanating from the man, the female slave instinctively stepped back, creating distance between them.

Huyan Sai's face was tense. As she retreated, he moved forward until the female slave's back pressed against his cold front before he stopped.

"Stay by my side, and I'll give you anything."

Huyan Sai put his other hand on the female slave's back and pulled her down from the wall.

The female slave looked into the man's eyes, which were so close to hers, and said calmly:

You can't keep me here!

Huyan Sai dejectedly released her.

Yes, he couldn't keep her before.

Even though she has lost her memory, she still doesn't want to stay by his side.

But this time, no matter what, he would not let her go!

Huyan Sai summoned the soldiers guarding the gate. He looked at the female slave, his eyes hardening, and said sternly, "Lock her in the dungeon."

"Huyan Sai!"

The female slave, not expecting Huyanse to lock her up, shouted angrily:

What are you trying to do?!

Two soldiers stepped forward and grabbed the female slave's arms, one on each side.

Huyan Sai's slender fingers clamped down on the female slave's chin, forcing her to look directly at him.

"I told you, you can't leave, you have to stay by my side forever."

The female slave gritted her teeth, staring at Huyan Sai with resentment in her eyes.

The soldiers tried to drag the female slave away, but she stubbornly refused to move an inch.

The soldiers had noticed Huyanse's special treatment of the female slaves these days.

They knew very well that the king's attitude towards her was unusual.

Therefore, the soldiers dared not use too much force, for fear of injuring the female slaves. If the king were to become furious, wouldn't they lose their lives?

Seeing that the female slave was stubbornly refusing to leave, Huyan Sai sighed and struck her on the back of the neck with a palm strike.

The female slave let out a muffled groan, her vision went black, and she fainted.

He instinctively grabbed the unconscious female slave with both hands, picked her up horizontally, and carried her towards the dungeon.

Huyan Sai carefully placed the female slave on the dungeon bed. He sat beside her, gently stroking her face with his fingers, as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

Huyan Sai only withdrew his hand from the female slave's face when he heard footsteps behind him.

An old man dressed as a wizard walked over. He had difficulty walking and could only move slowly with the help of a cane.

The high priest of the Sirius Kingdom came to Huyanse's side. Seeing the unconscious female slave on the bed, he showed no surprise, but instead spoke to Huyanse:

"Your Majesty, you summoned me here to keep this woman, didn't you?"

Huyan Sai nodded.

"Great Wizard, by any means necessary, I want you to keep her here."

The great wizard sighed.

"Your Majesty, you couldn't keep this woman back then, which means her heart isn't with you. Why force it?"

"I've consulted the oracle; you two are not meant to be..."

Before the Grand Wizard could finish speaking, Huyan Sai suddenly stood up, like an enraged cheetah, glaring fiercely at the Grand Wizard.

"I don't care! Things are what we make of them. So what if we're not meant to be? I want her!"

He grabbed the high wizard's hand and said forcefully:

"Leave her here, or I'll kill you!"

The great wizard sighed again. He had witnessed how that woman had fled without looking back all those years ago.
