Dastan delayed abducting Veronica because he was planning to see Arthur's expression. He heard a rumor in Synetia. Veronica and Arthur were lovers – according to the soldiers. That's the very reason he was waiting patiently. He wanted to know the truth.

After seeing Arthur's expression, he concluded that the rumor was true. They were indeed lovers. 'It wouldn't be so bad to make him my enemy,' he thought.

It was because of that, Dastan abducted Veronica in front of him. Veronica struggled to get away from him but he held her firmly as he flew off. However, something felt off and he looked down. What he wasn't expecting was that Veronica was trying to unbuckle the belt on his pants. 

Dastan was dumbfounded. "Are you crazy? What are you-" 

He wanted to stop her but his hands were already occupied holding her body. He couldn't let her go and at the same time, he couldn't hold his pants. It was the first time he faced a dilemma like that. As a result, he didn't know what to do. So, he couldn't stop her in time. Taking advantage of his situation, she successfully unfastened his belt.

The black pants slid off his legs and fell on the river. 

Dastan's lower body was bare. He was dumbfounded.

Catherine heard the commotion and looked outside. She was shocked to see that her friend was being taken away by some stranger up in the sky. She stood rooted in the place. She never saw a guy flying off like that.

And then, she was stunned when she saw the guy's lower half suddenly became naked. "Ahhh!" she shouted and covered her face. Her face was flushed. 'What did I just see?' She wanted to delete her memories but she couldn't forget the pale round buttocks of that man. She was only able to experience it because the guy's robe was flying in the wind. It made his lower bottom completely exposed. 

Sebastian stared at Veronica in awe. He was ready to save her but he didn't expect to see that. No matter how trained he was, he could never come up with something like that.

"…" Arthur simply couldn't react. 'Did I make her so horny that she came up with something like this?' – that's what he wondered.

Dastan was thunderstruck by this sudden turn of events. Before he knew it, he dropped Veronica to retrieve his falling pants. His reputation was at stake. He didn't want to be labelled as the naked ninja.

"Ahhh!" it was Veronica's time to scream as she fell on the river. She was accustomed to the cold water. It wasn't unpleasant. She knew how to swim. As she started to swim toward the barge, Dastan also fell in the river. He grabbed his pants. He wore his pants while still swimming in the river and cursed Veronica in his mind.

While swimming, Veronica couldn't help but look behind. She was curious to know what her kidnapper was doing. Noticing that he was struggling to wear his wet pants, she couldn't control her laughter. "Who told you to try to abduct me without my permission?" she taunted him. "It serves you right. You're nothing but a naked kidnapper. Pervert!"

Dastan got angry after listening to her words. His expression turned sour. By the time he buckled his pants again, Arthur was already by Veronica's side. He dived in the river the moment Veronica fell.

"Are you okay?" Arthur questioned her. He swam toward the barge while holding onto her.

Veronica breathlessly replied, "Yes, I'm all right. I'm just a little surprised."

Arthur was relieved to hear that. He didn't know what he would do if she was taken away from him. It was the second time he felt empty. The first time he felt like that was when she was in a vegetative state after healing him.

He took her to the boat. Sebastian helped Arthur to get up when Catherine helped Veronica.

She didn't care if her friend was drenched. She hugged Veronica and said, "Thank goodness you are safe. I don't know what I would done if you were taken away." Her voice was shaking.

"It's cold," Veronica shivered as she spoke. At night it was chilling.

"I'll take you to the room." Catherine stood up and helped her friend to stand up as well.

"No, I can do it myself. I just want to take Arthur with me." Veronica didn't want to go back to her room with her friend who cannot protect her from the kidnapper. Arthur would be a better choice.

Sebastian already dived in the water to catch Dastan. However, he was nowhere near the site. while everyone was busy with Veronica, he wore his pants and slipped away in the dark.

Veronica and Arthur went back to their room and they changed clothes. After she changed her clothes and wiped her hair, she told him, "His name is Dastan. I've seen that guy wearing a silver ring. He had a small knife with him. That's why I couldn't ask for any of your help. If you came inside, he would have injured you."

"That's the reason you didn't let Catherine enter the room. He threatened you," Arthur concluded. 'So, his name is Dastan. That bastard,' he cursed under his breath. 'I'll kill him for trying to take my woman away from me.'

"His ring was quite interesting, she mentioned. "A creature was engraved on the ring. It is called a Basilisk. He told me that. It was like he was deliberately letting me know. He even said that he was waiting for me to wake up. If he really wanted to kidnap me, why did he wait for me to wake up? He could have kidnapped me while I was sleeping. This way he wouldn't have had to lose his pants."

"A Basilisk, you say." Arthur furrowed his eyebrows and pondered deeply. He knew what a Basilisk was. But for a person to carry such an engraved ring must hold some importance.   

"Did he say anything else?" He inquired.
