Chapter 42: Problems

25 December

"Does this count as my birthday? I spent sixteen days in timeless dimension and became Blessed by a god… i guess it does"

Dune sat in his giant room, drapes were drawn, casting the room in a dim, intimate light. Beside him stood two young female servants, their delicate hands moving in intricate patterns as they cast a strange spell on him.

His chest burned with a green glow, and when the spell was complete, the white cross tattoo on his chest vanished.

"How exactly does this spell work?" Dune asked, curiosity mingling with the pain.

The brown-haired servant looked down before answering.

"Sir, this will hide your Zeten mark. But remember, you should never use it outside the castle or around other people.

The king will not be able to save you if your mark is revealed. The spell will only break when you use your Zeten power, so don't try to use it."
