The carriage stopped near a lake. Priest Erolith lifted his magic, so the carriage and the horse stepped on the ground again. Maroch tied the horse on a tree and returned back to the carriage. He knocked on the carriage door.

King Elduin opened the door and stared down at him with obvious displeasure," What?" he asked.

Maroch smiled and glared at King Elduin. He imbued his magic inside his eyes, and when King Elduin stared at him, he was in a daze.

Maroch ordered Elduin through telepathy, 'Go sleep early. Sleep deeply and never wake up until I told you so.'

Elduin said nothing, which was the sign that he was already inside Maroch's hypnosis. Maroch laughed inside his heart. He mocked King Elduin, who was so easy to get influenced by magic. Well, he couldn't blame him, though. Nobody was immune to his magic.
