Hawk was taken to the physicians to be treated so he could heal faster while the princes and the princesses followed the great King and the others to the hall to be punished according to the princes' and the princesses' thoughts.

In the council hall were all the council members sited and the great King on the throne checking out his sword as he feel the magic in it. In the middle of the hall were the princes and the princesses on their knees as their heads were bowed and scared of what their punishment will be. The council members were looking at the both great King and the princes and the princesses at the same time as they all wait for the great King to talk since he has been silent for a while.

Seeing the great King wasn't saying anything and no one talked made the princes and the princesses more afraid then prince Mike summon the courage to talk and said to King Raynold ''we are sorry, your royal majesty''.

Hearing that made the great King stop checking out his sword and looked at the princes and the princesses then he said to them ''are you really sorry?''.

''Yes, your royal majesty'' said all the princes and princesses in a union then the great King continues checking out his sword.

As King Raynold continued checking out his sword, King Raynold said to the princes and the princesses ''there is actually nothing to be sorry for. And to be sincere, you all did what you thought was best for everyone it is just that you failed. Am proud of you all for being so courageous''.

The princes and the princesses were relieved and happy to hear the great King said that and said in a union ''thank you, your royal majesty''.

King Raynold said to the princes and the princesses ''but you will all be stripped of your title and you shall never set your foot outside the palace''.

The princes and princesses were shocked and unhappy to hear that they looked at the great King who was still checking out his sword and the council members who easily accepted the great King's command. Noah asked his father ''why, your royal majesty?''.

King Raynold stopped checking out his sword and looked at the princes and princesses then said to them ''and you dare ask me why?''.

Hearing that made all the princes and princesses scared and they bow their heads back. King Marcus said to the great King ''It is true that they committed a grave sin but your royal ........''.

King Marcus was cut short of words as King Raynold cut ''no one will talk about them again. And you should all know this, they are no longer princes and princesses of any kingdom they are just like the common people'' said King Raynold to the council members.

King Raynold called the supreme general name and he answer then the great King said to him ''assign 5 soldiers that must never leave their side to each of them cause they can stubborn. Give this order to the soldiers, if they ever try to set foot outside the palace the soldiers should do whatever it takes to stop them even if they have to hurt them''.

King Raynold said to everyone in the hall ''If they should ever disobey my order or anyone helps them to disobey my order, the consequence wouldn't be lenient''.

The princes and the princesses were shocked to hear the great King say that but they knew he is angry. King Raynold said to the head guard ''get them out of my sight''.

The princes and the princesses were escorted out of the council hall by the guards. The princes and the princesses kneel in front of the council hall without uttering any word to each other waiting for the council meeting to end so they can plead to the great King again once he comes out of the hall.

The meeting ended and the great King holding his sword in its sheath comes out of the council hall with the council members to see the princes and the princesses on their knees in front of the hall door. The princes and the princesses plead with the great King to forgive them for what they have done but the great King said nothing to them and left with the head guard and some guards. After the great King left, each King left with their children while Noah left with lord Emmanuel and Zussorender.

Inside Marcelos' tent was Ramsay on his knees thanking Marcelos who was seated for getting him out while Lilia, Zussorader, and Philip seated watched as they and Marcelos smiled, and on the table in front of them were the nature crystal and dark crystal. After Ramsay was done thanking Marcelos, Marcelos help Ramsay up and hugged him saying to him that he is glad to have him back. Marcelos separated from Ramsay and said to Lilia ''I could read that you are the happiest person here''.

Upon hearing Marcelos said that Lilia smiled brighter and Marcelos said to Ramsay ''she misses you a lot'', then Ramsay and Lilia looked at each other.

Ramsay, Lilia, Zussorader, and Philip watched as Marcelos absorb the nature power from the crystal and when he was done absorbing the power the crystal shattered but he didn't absorb the dark power in the dark crystal. Philip asked Marcelos ''why aren't you taking the power in the dark crystal?''.

''Because I can't'' said Marcelos.

''Why'' Ramsay asked Marcelos.

''The dark crystal is spelled so I can't absorb the power in it, and if I tried to absorb it by force it will hurt me. I might be put to eternal sleep but while I was asleep I spent most of my time knowing what was going on in the real world. There is only one spell that can unspell the dark crystal and that spell is in a book in Axrax. Part of the reason we have to conquer Axrax'' said Marcelos.

''Even though I lived in the palace for a long time I still don't know a lot of things'' said Zussorader.

''Not only you. Damon hid everything to cover the real truth... We should let Ramsay and Lilia enjoy today. So you both are free from today'' Marcelos said with a smile to Lilia and Ramsay, then everyone smiled.

The princes and princesses were scolded by their fathers while Noah was scolded by lord Emmanuel and Zussorender for their act saying they were disappointed them. After the princes and princesses were scolded the soldiers assigned to them began to follow them wherever they go.

Hawk sat down alone in the pavilion drinking a jug of wine after leaving the treatment hall and was now looking better because his body has begin to heal itself. Hawk was alone having fun when the princes and princesses walk into the pavilion one by one in anger with the soldiers assigned to them. The princes and the princesses saw Hawk and went straight to him to check on him. The princes and the princesses saw Hawk was much better, then princess Tracy pecked Hawk and the others smiled.

Hawk ordered the soldiers to leave the pavilion threatening to bite them in his bear form and the soldiers scared left the pavilion but stood outside the pavilion awaiting the princes or princesses they were assigned to. Hawk said to princes and the princesses as they were all seated in anger ''you really angered the great King''.

''We did more than angered but our punishment is too severe'' said Prince Redrick.

''You should be grateful that great King is merciful. I have seen a great King that can behead you just for saying no to his request not to talk of disobeying him. I think King Raynold is the only caring and merciful great King I have ever known amongst all the great King I have known'' said Hawk.

''Then are we just going to be in the palace doing nothing?'' said prince Mike.

''Actually, it is a good idea that you are now left out of the battle. We are going to lose this battle whether we accept it or not and the journey ahead is more hazardous than you could imagine. I think this is the only time you have to do things you might want to do or prepare for the future'' said Hawk.

''Hawk is right. This is the only free time we have got and I think we should do things we might regret later not doing'' said Noah.

Ramsay and Lilia went to the forest close to their camp to be alone. They both sat down next to each other on wrapper clothing looking at the bright sky filled with stars and Lilia's head was placed on Ramsay's shoulder. Ramsay asked Lilia ''they have been saying you miss me while I was gone but I don't think you do''.

''Why would you say that?'' Lilia asked Ramsay.

''Because the last time I confronted you about our love you said don't love me not until Marcelos read your mind and made it known that you are in love with me. Even with that you never for once show or acted like you are in love with me. You always stay away from me like you were avoiding me. So, how can you miss me?'' asked Ramsay.

''Because the time I fell in love with you was when Marcelos turn you into a monster so I was afraid of being close to you seeing you weren't the old Ramsay'' said Lilia.

''Do you know while I was in Axrax that was what they were trying to do? They were trying to bring back the old Ramsay and that made me want the old Ramsay back to see who he was but they failed. And now that I heard you are also in love with the old Ramsay, not me. I guess I have to bring me back. You should know even though I became a monster and changed, my feelings for you never changed'' said Ramsay.

''I know but the only way you can become the old Ramsay back is if you stay away from Marcelos and the only one they can make you into the old Ramsay back is Esther'' said Lilia.

''We both know I can't stay away from Marcelos. He has control over me and my mind. Even Esther that can free me from him is still asleep and they don't know when she will be waking up'' said Ramsay.

Lilia raise his head from Ramsay's shoulder and looked into Ramsay's eyes. Ramsay also looked into her eyes then Lilia said to Ramsay ''I promise your brother and friends to get you away from Marcelos and I will do it. You can get away from him and I will help you. All you need to do is trust me''.

''I trust you, Lilia'' said Ramsay, then he and Lilia kissed.
