Siana waited for her moment, suppressing her impatience.
The curse of the black tongue, which enslaves humans, does not last very long. If you give even a slight suggestion to a person with weak mental strength, you can make them your slave for over a month. However, if you cast a comprehensive curse like "Obey my orders" on someone with strong mental power, the curse may dissipate in less than a day.
It does not work particularly well on wizards or masters who can emit mana outwardly, so if you make a mistake, you may end up casting a curse that will be lifted within a few minutes. This is why Siana could not simply subdue people like Sultan Huseyin or Akhtal Naqsidil.
Having spent a long time isolated in the besieged Bursa and unable to place additional curses on the other slaves due to her hasty escape, Siana had effectively lost almost all of her power over the political and religious world of Tumaria.
