325 Snapping

Nerio was getting irritated and restless. He had waited so anxiously for the deal to take place to gain freedom, and all Eltanin was doing was wasting time. "Why do I feel that you are wasting my time? I know that you want to unlock Tania's soul as soon as possible, then why aren't you just closing this deal? You can tell me more stories later when we meet at tea," he mocked. 

"I am not wasting my time," Eltanin replied. "I am gaining time. With you."

"What do you mean?" he said. 

The man with golden eyes got up. He came to stand in front of Tania and said, "Can I see your soul stone?" Tania nodded. She took out the pendant from her neck, which he held in his hands. 

Nerio got a little worried. He warned, "If you think that you can free her soul, trust me, you can't. No one knows the magic to unlock it except me. In case you didn't hear the conversation between me and the king, let me repeat it. You. Can't. Unlock. The Soul."
