Two Secret Meetings (1)
When all the attendees in the throne room had left, the only ones remaining were King Aquaenar and Princess Seraphina. The silence that hung in the air between father and daughter, their gazes locked, was a precaution to ensure that no one else would overhear their conversation.
"Your Majesty, the [Dimension Barrier] has been set," whispered a man dressed in all black who suddenly appeared behind Aquaenar.
Aquaenar merely nodded, and the man in black disappeared into the shadows once more. The [Dimension Barrier] he referred to was a high-level spell used to compartmentalize a space into another realm.
In reality, high-level spells like this were often used to encircle someone, preventing them from using teleportation spells such as [Gate], [Instant Teleportation], or [Dimension Walking]. So, using it just to ensure their conversation remained unheard was somewhat excessive.
It's like trying to kill a chicken with a battleaxe.
