That's why he did not expect Emma to also have another power, such as the ability to control fire. Mages that could control more than one element were extremely rare. He and Therius were exceptions, and they had never met other multiple-element mages in person.

Was Princess Emma Stardust also a multi-element mage?

Emma was as surprised as Xion. She knew from her mother that multi-element mage was rare, so she thought Xion was a telemancer because she could not read his mind.

Emma didn't expect Xion to be a cryomancer (ice mage) and could easily counter the fireball she had just thrown at him. She deliberately only tried to graze Xion's shoulder using one-third of her strength because she was afraid to hurt the man badly and got herself a new enemy.

But apparently, Xion can withstand her attack and disabled her fireball easily.

"So, you are a pyromancer?" Xion asked with a curious expression. "When did you realize your power? Who trained you?"

Emma didn't want to answer his question. She did not know whether she could trust Xion or not. She was not her to answer other people's questions. Instead, she came here to force Xion to answer hers. She finally decided that if she needed to use force, this building would not be a good place.

Emma stomped the floor and quickly bolted to the sky. As she was flying upward, she pulled Xion with her. The mand suddenly felt his body wrapped by a small typhoon and immediately shot up to follow Emma. He couldn't hide his grin as he realized that he was right. The girl was indeed an aeromancer. But it was obvious to him that Emma didn't expect Xion to be an aeromancer too. Otherwise, the girl wouldn't drag him with her like this.

This is awesome! Three aeromancers together in one place at the same time, Xion thought in amus.e.m.e.nt.

He and Therius had a few things in common. They were triple-element mages, and both could control the air. Besides air, Therius also controlled the mind and fire. As a telemancer and pyromancer, he had trained hard and reached the highest level. There was no one stronger than Therius in the whole Akkadia when it came to pyromancy. As for his telemancy, even though he hid his ability, Xion knew Therius was also already at the highest level. 

However, for aeromancy, Xion was several levels above the prince and was undefeated to this day. He was so strong that he could literally move mountains with his power. That's why, seeing Emma drag him to follow her up in the air like this, made Xion smiled in amus.e.m.e.nt.

"You said your name is Xion, didn't you?" asked Emma when they were already 1000 meters above Singapore. The air was quite chilling, and Xion's long blonde hair fluttered in the wind. The small typhoon still wrapped his body from the waist down.

"You still remember my name. Certainly, I must have left you a wonderful impression," Xion teased her. He was still trying to be annoying to provoke Emma.

Ouch ... this beautiful girl was staring at him coldly, but somehow that cold expression only added to her beauty. Actually, come to think of this, Emma was very similar to Therius, Xion thought to himself. Not only their physical appearances looked similar, but also their att.i.tude. Seeing Emma now reminded him of Therius.

How could ice fell in love with another ice? How will two ice get married? Who will warm their bed?

Gosh, Xion ... why do you have dirty thoughts about other people? You are not Aeron. 

"Xion, I don't have time for games. It's 2 in the morning. I want to finish our business and get back to my husband before he wakes up," Emma said curtly. "We can do it the easy way or the hard way. All you have to do is answer my questions, and I'll return you safely to the building."

Xion hid his grin and pretended to look scared. Ahh .. just try it if you dare throw me down. I can fly too, he thought.

He decided to play around longer.

"Ugh ... okay, you managed to scare me. What is it that you want to ask?" he smiled and looked at her intently.

Emma watched Xion's expression and became exasperated because it was hard to guess. She was curious because she couldn't invade the man's mind and influence him. So, she thought Xion was a telemancer. However, now she began to feel that she was wrong.

"Are you a telemancer?" asked the girl.

Xion shook his head. His brows furrowed as he realized why Emma was asking that question.

"No," he answered firmly.

Xion remembered the story of Princess Arreya, who became a legend in Akkadia for years. She hid her ability as a telemancer for decades. She was only discovered when she charmed everyone in the palace to sleep for 20 hours so that she and General Kaos.h.i.+n Stardust could escape Akkadia. He now suspected that Emma inherited her mother's ability as a telemancer and had tried to read his mind but failed. So, now Emma was confused.

"If you are not a telemancer, why can't I read your mind?" asked Emma. She found her telemancy to be very confusing. In the past, when she just recovered her powers in Paris, she could read everyone's mind except Haoran. However, suddenly after she and Haoran kissed, she could read him.

Now she also cannot read the minds of the two Akkadian men who came to see her. She didn't know how her power should work.

Xion smiled broadly when he heard Emma's question. Ah, his guess was correct. This girl was indeed a telemancer!

He shuddered at the thought that the beautiful girl in front of him also turned out to be another multiple-element mage!

"Maybe you love me?" Xion asked in a delighted voice. "A telemancer will not be able to read the mind of the person they love unless that other person allows it."

"Liar!" said Emma, ​​pursing her lips. "I DO NOT love you."

Xion laughed at Emma's annoyed expression. "I am not lying."

Emma became very annoyed because this man in front of her didn't seem to treat her seriously. His face instead displayed a mocking smile. Emma was agitated.

"Earlier, I only used one-third of my strength. If you upset me, I wouldn't hesitate to set you on fire and drop you to the ground. We'll see if you still make fun of me."

Xion immediately raised his hands and waved to the girl. "I am not lying. You asked me a question, and I have answered to the best of my knowledge. My answer is correct. A telemancer cannot read the mind of the person they love unless he allows it. They also cannot read the mind of a mage who is more powerful than them. You will never be able to read my mind because I am stronger than you."

"Oh ..." Emma was stunned to hear his words. Xion's explanation made sense, she thought. She frowned and looked at Xion deeply. "Why did you come here looking for me?"

Xion tilted his head and looked back at Emma. "We have come to take you home. Didn't you send the messenger s.h.i.+p and beg to be picked up because you wanted to meet your mother and father again?"

"That's right. But I only sent the message two weeks ago, and suddenly you are here. I think you were actually already on your way here to find me when you received my message, and it only helped you find me," Emma said. She repeated the words Haoran had said to her. "This is a coincidence that benefits your side."

Xion was stunned. This girl was young and still easily provoked, but her mind seemed quite intelligent. She could guess what happened accurately. He was impressed.

He decided to tell her the truth.

"That's right. Yes, we came to pick you up, and at the same time, you want to go home. I think it's fate ..."

"It's a coincidence," Emma corrected Xion's words.

"Coincidence, fate, destiny... they are all the same to me," Xion said with a shrug. "What is clear is that we are here now and ready to take you home. You don't have your own s.h.i.+p to return to Akkadian. We are your only hope."

Emma bit her lip, trying to remain calm. "If I change my mind and don't want to go home, what will you guys do?"

"Nothing. Everything is up to you," said Xion. "If you don't want to go back to Akkadia, then you have to say goodbye to your parents."

"I don't want to go to Akkadia without Haoran. He is my husband," Emma said.

Xion shook his head. "Princess Emma Stardust, please listen to me and decide wisely. If you insist on bringing that poor young man to Akkadia, you will only cause his death. He has no place in Akkadia."

"Then I won't go home," Emma said stubbornly.

"All right, then. I suppose our journey all the way here is for nothing." Xion sighed and looked away. "General Kaos.h.i.+n Stardust's only hope of avoiding his death sentence is now gone."

Emma was shocked when she heard Xion's words. "What did you say? My father will be executed??"
