Aylin was still in disbelief and she could not work properly for her mind kept wandering to the time when she had found out the gift Azimir had. All the three people in the room had been astounded by his powers and they had turned mute all of a sudden, not knowing how to respond to this unbelievable secret.

For a long time, nobody had spoken and eventually, it was Azimir who had broken the silence. They had then tried to come up with strategies to deal with the man and since he would not be visiting Aylin for the next few days until the night of the no moon, they had quite some time to create a plan. 

However, it was Azimir who was running short of time for he had to leave for Ideni the next morning. Even after thinking for long, they could not come with a suitable plan to deal with the masked man and eventually, they decided to give up for the time being.

The man was too daunting and fierce and it was impossible to find a way to handle him in a short time. None of them knew who it was nor did he know of his weakness which they could use to their advantage. The only solution they could come up with was for Aylin to stay awake all night while Gregory and Erik accompanied her, allowing the man no chance to approach her.

A pang of sadness engulfed Aylin when she remembered that Azimir would be leaving for Ideni the next day. Though she had tried to avoid him and make him leave her, Azimir had invaded all her defenses, rendering her incapable of evading him. The strong walls around her heart had been destroyed in just a day and now, she could not make up her mind again to stay away from him.

Azimir had invaded all her senses and thoughts and had reduced her ability to resist him into ashes. Aylin pressed her forehead, unable to believe the effect the man had on her. Her heart would never listen to her in his presence, having a mind of its own and in his absence, all she could think of was him. He was slowly becoming the sole reason for her existence after she lost everyone in her family.

A smile made its way on her lips when she recalled the promise she had made him before the man had left her to finish her work for the day. In a few hours, she would be meeting him for the last time before he departed to Ideni until the contest officially started.

With a sigh, she picked up the record she was handling before Azimir had entered the room and started to go through it again, her frowning vanishing as she read about the land dispute between the kingdoms of Iqara and Othusha. 

Aylin had met the Alphas of both the kingdoms and wondered why they had started fighting all of a sudden when the kingdoms had been at peace for decades. The Alphas even had been friends and had nothing but praises for each other. 

Now, the situation between them had turned ugly with both the kingdoms involved in a dispute with each. She had received separate complaints from both the Alphas and she went through it to find out where the situation had gone wrong. 

However, all the complaints held were the wrongdoings the people of the kingdom had suffered, without any substantial information. None of the two Alphas had mentioned how the dispute had started and what land they were speaking about. 

Aylin thought for a while with his lips pursed before she placed the record to the side. She had to consider their situation again and since it was a matter between the two kingdoms, she had to bring it up with the Alpha King first before making a decision.

Aylin continued to work, finishing all the pile of records that had accumulated on her desk over the time after not being at her position for quite some time. While some of the matters were small, there were matters that required her immediate attention and of grave importance. She sorted them in the order of the severity of the matter.

Finally, only one record was left and Aylin smiled in relief. She picked it up, only for her smile to vanish when she saw what the complaint was. More than fifteen women had gone missing in a span of three weeks and Aylin's face scrunched up in worry. 

The women were still missing and they had not discovered any clue about them. Nobody even knew if they were dead or alive. What caught her attention was that all the women were unmarried and had gone missing after the sun had set.

Aylin tapped her quill on the record as she thought about it. The situation was grave and all the women who had disappeared belonged to the kingdoms that shared its borders with Aranill.

Aylin could not comprehend how no one from Aranill had not gone missing when shared its borders with all the other kingdoms. It sure was suspicious and she suddenly started to have a strange feeling in her heart, one which she could not understand. 

It was as though somewhere in her mind she knew who was behind the crime but she could not deduce who. Aylin contemplated the matter and since the women did not belong to one kingdom, the matter was quite complicated. Moreover, the perpetrator was still at large and she could not ignore the matter for the time being.

She immediately marked the record as urgent and started to assign men to handle the matter. Her hand stopped when she thought about who to assign. While she could not allot the case to Sir Gregory or Sir Erik for they had to be with her to make sure that the masked man did not visit her on the night of the no moon, she could only think of the other two Knight Commanders.

After a long time, she handed over the case to Sir Bernard. Once done, she stood at once and smiled faintly.. It was now time for her to meet Azimir before he departed in the morning.
