Crown Prince Lail felt his head spin, his vision turning blurry.

'Once she becomes an apprentice to a magician, she will not be able to leave the Heart Land.'

The sentence rang in his head, throwing his mind and heart in turmoil.

"You are saying, I cannot meet my wife any time soon?" He asked in a rough voice as his body trembled.

"Unfortunately, yes. The apprenticeship of new magicians takes about 3-4 years and within that span of time, apprentices cannot leave the Heart Land. However, there is a way for you to meet your wife sooner." The Speaking Ink Tree added the instant it saw the flickering emotions in the Crown Prince's eyes.

'Sigh. There is no guarantee that this reckless kid would not try something dangerous in an attempt to meet his wife.'

After all, he was willing to enter the Heart of Mistland even when he knew he might not come out alive.

Instead of letting him willingly walk into the jaws of death, on behalf of its old acquaintance, it decided to guide the Crown Prince.

Crown Prince Lail instantly focused his attention on the Speaking Ink Tree, clearing his mind of all distracting thoughts.

If there was a way, he needed to know how.

"As I said earlier, nonnatives cannot enter the heart of other realm's land. However, you can enter the heart of the Amaya realm." Sighing in resignation, It briefly closed its eyes.

"You must know, the heart of a land is very important to a realm as it is the source of life and magic in the entire realm. Therefore, the heart has its own methods of protecting itself. Shifting location, forming elemental magic in its vicinity which only magical beings could approach, and restricting the entrance of nonnatives among others.

However, the magicians of the Seven Order have the ability to weaken the barrier of the Heart Lands by combining their magic and attacking the barrier together. This allows magicians from other realms to enter Heart Lands, not of their native."

Crown Prince Lail felt enlightened as he listened to the ancient tree's words.

The methods of the Seven Order were indeed extraordinary. Combining their different magics to open the barrier to other heartlands did not seem like an easy feat.

However, the Seven Order was able to accomplish such a task, speaking lengths about their great foundation and deep knowledge accumulated through years of research.

'However, how does any of this concern me meeting my wife?' He could not help wondering in his heart.

But since the Speaking Ink Tree took the time to mention such matters, it probably had a connection to the method it spoke of.

"The Seven Order represent magicians from the seven realms. As such, they also hold competitions every year to determine the realm with the strongest magicians.

If you join the Amayan Academy of Seven Order, you will be able to meet your wife in a year's time during the realms competition. Apprentices cannot leave the Heart Land after getting assigned masters. However, with their masters, they can attend the competition between the realms.

Moreover, aside from being able to meet your wife sooner, there is an additional benefit to joining the academy.

As a place of gathering for magic and magicians, you will be able to learn and build your knowledge on magic and the world of magicians.

You will get the chance to find out more about spiritual weapons and how to upgrade them. Along with the guidance of a master, you will also be able to quickly learn how to wield your magical powers.

Since it is not possible for you to see your wife now, you might as well join the Academy and learn all you can while mastering your magical abilities.

Naturally, during the gathering of realm magicians, you will easily see the one you want to see.

Who knows, this might also be a trial for the both of you." Once it got to this point, there was a strange gleam in the Speaking Ink Tree's green orbs as it stared at Crown Prince Lail.

Seeing what it saw and experiencing what it did after peeking at the kid's wife, its many years of knowledge allowed it to sense that their future road was going to be anything but ordinary.

Very soon, the entire seven realms might be turned upside down by this pair of husband and wife.

Crown Prince Lail was silent after hearing the ancient tree. As complicated emotions surged in his heart, his eyes flickered with the struggle he was going through.

One year.

If he decided to enter the Academy, he would not be able to see his wife for a whole year.

However, what other option did he have? Wait for her to leave the Heart Land?

If what the ancient tree said was correct, then she would not be able to leave until the completion of her apprenticeship.

'Between one and three, obviously the former is better.'

However, he could not help feeling bitter and reluctant. No matter one or three, the fact remained that he could only wait.

Wait for a long time before seeing her.

'Would she still remember me by then?' He bitterly chuckled as the thought entered his mind.

"Lad, I say, there is nothing for you to be hesitant about. After all, no matter how much you want to see your wife, if destiny does not want you two to meet right now, then there is nothing you can do about it.

Just believe in your fates. If you were destined to meet and become a couple, then fate certainly has something greater in store for the two of you." The Speaking Ink Tree consoled when it saw the bitter expression of the Crown Prince.

'Sigh. It seems like the old saying is true. The greater the destiny, the harder the trial and tribulations. These two had barely gotten married and yet, they are already separated by the boundaries of heart realms.'

"That's right. I have to believe in our fate. If we ended up together even after being set to marry different partners, then our bond will definitely not sever that easily. And besides, separation is another form of a trial. A trial of our relationship's strength and truth.." Crown Prince Lail's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he confidently declared.
