Hence, if next turn deadline is on Thursday please extend it, i am back thu afternoon and i will make turn immediately.

Request:
I am having some problem with underwater provinces rebelling against our humble rule, we will punish them. Our forces already are approaching. Please, respect that it is our territory.

By the way, i have mind hunted the leading cracken and my mage got
fableminded, how come? there, for sure, was no mage with astral magic ...

The feebleminding is our fault (T'ien Ch'i) though entirely accidental. We waited a good long time but your underwater provinces (which we have asked to purchase from you, btw) remained indie-controlled so we sent our god to go cut up some calamari. Unfortunately, we did a quit-without-saving, losing all that scripting and when we went back and rescripted our god we forgot to re-equip him. If it's any consolation, he was torn apart and killed painfully by a multitude of kraken (though he has since gotten better).

Anyway, the flow of events went like this: Guatama teleported into the province; by chance this happened before your mind hunt. Your mage cast Mind Hunt into a province which suddenly contained a high astral pretender, so your guy got feebleminded. It was by chance that our teleport spell went off before your mind hunt spell; frankly we would have preferred it if you had remotely slain the kraken king before our pretender got there.

As far as those being "your" territory... I don't have the old turn files in front of me to confirm but it's been at least 5 if not more turns since that province traded your rule for that of a squid's. At that point it's free game both in the letter and, I would argue, the spirit of our NAP.
