“Are you out of your mind? Castiel. How could you say they aren’t the culprit when they’re many proves to it!” Arthur yelled, this time his voice was much more louder.
“That girl happens….no.. But believe me Arthur, they aren’t the culprit. We can’t punish the Innocents.” Castiel persuaded further.
“Castiel, I must not hear you say a word. I mean it!” Arthur warned and raised a hand,as a signal to others to check their bodies.
When they get to them, Onami stept a warrior on his foot and he groaned out loud, making Arthur the more furious.
He held onto his anger, though he was burning with anger where he stood.
Onami grasp Naomi’s hand and said:
“Anyone of you who’s ready to die in a brutal way, come forward and I’ll grant your wish.”
The warriors looked at each other, wondering whether to go or not. But this’s an order, they had to.
Before others get to them, they already brings out some Ninja stars, they keep on trowing it to their opponents and the Ninja stars was able to ki|| some before getting to them.
Those that escaped it, tried to ki|| them. Onami knocked out a warrior’s sword with her scabbard which means she hasn’t yet removed her sword from it.
The warrior looked at her, she grabbed him by the arm and break the hand. She pushed him away afterwards.
Naomi wasn’t that merciful, she makes sure she ki||ed those who’re in pursue of her life.
After ki||ing about twenty of the warriors,few were left. Arthur moved forward to attack them, but Castiel blocked him.
“Take me instead, Castiel because I won’t let you take them with you.” Castiel said, before Arthur was able to successfully pushed him out of his way, they were already gone.
“What really came over you!? How could you be defending a criminal?!” Arthur said, he wanted to fight him but he couldn’t.
“If they aren’t the culprit, how could they have had that kind of weapon? That weapon’s most used by them.” He added.
“You can say wh@ťěver you want to say, but she isn’t who really think..”
“Am I speaking of a person here!? They overcome our men. I want condone such next time.” Arthur said, walking past him.
“Wa….!!”

★Onami’s place★
Onami and Naomi successfully sneaked back into their suite. Before they left for the palace, they already packed the unsold goods back home.
“Naomi,are you alright?” Onami asked, worriedly when she noticed she has been behaving strangely since they arrived back home.
“I’m fine, it’s just a minor wound.” She lied.
“Let me take a look at it..” Onami said, moving closer to her but when her hand reached Naomi’s waist, she stopped her from touching it.
“I’m bleeding, don’t stain your hand.” She said.
“I shouldn’t stain my hand? What’m I suppose to use it for If not to treat this wound you refer to as minor now? Pull off your cloth, let me clean the wounds.” Onami said, and before she could say a word, she stared pulling off her cloth for her to know how serious she’s.
“Sister, am a kid? Allow me to.” Naomi off the outer cloth, leaving the inner untouched.
“Pull that off as well or I pull it off for you.”
“You’re talking this matter beyond..”
“I said,pull it off!” Onami said, strernly.
Naomi was forced to off the cloth.
“Oh my God! You called this minor?” Onami said, astonishingly when she sighted Naomi’s cut.

★Queen Amaya’s suite★
“My lady,His Majesty’s coming in.” A maid declared and the king showed up immediately.
“Greetings,my king.” She greeted, bowing a bit.
“You may raise.” The king said, walking to the baby placed onto the bed.
“It’s a pity your mother couldn’t witness this, my daughter.” The king said, with a sad sigh.
“I’ll always be here for you, my king.” Queen Amyra said, encouragingly.
“I know,thank you very much for being a wonderful mother to the children.” The king commented and she couldn’t keep it so she beamed..
“Her child’s also mine, my king.”
“Her funeral will hold in some minutes time, so be prepared.” The king reminded her.
“I’ll, my king.”
★★★
★Onami’s place★
“Why’re you both back home so easily?” Their mother, shocked by their early arrival.
“It’s because of two things; first,we make good sales and we heard Queen Paisley just kicked- the- bucket after gaving birth.”
“And what was that supposed to mean?”
“Meaning we want to attend her funeral. Even if we’re not allowed to enter…”
“Shut up! You don’t even know what next you would use your head for. Get inside!” Her mother yelled.
“But mother..!” Naomi called, trying to protest, but her mother shut her up.
“Before I opened my eyes, I’m not see you both still standing here. Go and find something reasonable to do.” Their mother instructed.
“But mother,why don’t you like hearing anything that happens in the palace? You seems to disliked everybody there, there’s no guarantee that you even loved the deceased.” Onami suddenly said and it earned her a slap.
“I’m doing all these to protect you both, you both are too nerve to know what’s coming your way.
Let’s leave that apart, I want to go and collect the money a friend of mine owed me and her house’s nearby to the palace.
If I noticed the both of you, presence you’re done for. I’ll make sure I teach you how to forget your way to the palace.
The place’s full of corrupt people, even the king engaged in it. So even if he lost a wife, there’re lots of maidens he could opt for if he wants to.
Why’s it your concern even if he lost his entire kingdom to the Buyeo?” Their mother said, angrily and walked away.
“I think we have to listen to her. She’s much more serious than we thought this time around.” Naomi concluded.
“But come to think of it, mother doesn’t like it whenever we mentioned a name in the palace. Why?” Onami asked and Naomi seems to be in the dark as well.
“I don’t know. But you know mother always keep a lot to herself, probably that’s her nature.”

★Study suite★
Arthur’s seen in the study suite reading a book. After the incident, he has suddenly lost interest in attending Queen Paisley’s funeral.
Apparently, the incident changed his mood.
When he looked up, he saw Castiel approaching from the distance.
He looked away for him not to noticed he saw him.
The guards allowed him immediately they saw him.
“Are you mad at me? Arthur.” He asked as he walked towards him.
“Should I not?”
“I’m sorry. But I..”
“Sorry can’t help matters, the deed have been done. Anything else you want to say? I’m quite busy as you can see.” Arthur said, trying to hide his anger.
“You’re never too busy for your friend.” Castiel reminded him.
“Well, I’m quite sorry I’ll have to disappoint you because I had a lot of things much more important than this. So can you please excuse me?” Arthur said, calmly.
“I came to tell you about what we..”
“I’m no longer interested in going there anymore, can you please take your leave?”
“Are you trying to send me away?” Castiel asked with an eyeroll.
“No, does it look like I’m? You’re the one who seems to have nothing to discuss anymore and I can’t just waste your precious time. Because I want respond if you say anything to me after this.” Arthur said, looking at him this time.

Some people are seen crying, some are seen it the midst of tears trying to hold back their tears.
Among the group were the king, Titania, Amyra, Castiel, accompanied by some of the king’s subjects.
After reaching a place where many woods’re tied up together, they stopped. A guard hand over a stick with a burning fire on it to the king, he placed it onto it and the woods catch up fire.
After watching it getting burned, those that have been trying to hold back their tears burst into series of tears.
“Oh mother, why did you have to leave us alone?”S. , Titania’s sister cried out.
★★★
Onami’s mother was going to the place she told her daughters, but some set of women appears to her at her there which seems to be the final route to the place.
“Who’re you?” She asked.
“His Majesty wants your daughters.” They replied, ignoring her question.
“My daughters? How did you know them? What do you want from them?” She asked, angrily.
“We’re sent by the king to bring them. They stole some items that worth a fortune!” They said.
“My daughters? They can never do such a thing, you must have mistaken them for someone.” She defended.
“These’re their pictures,are you still on your words?”
She guled at the pictures before her, she knew it was her daughters pictures. But where and how they got it is what she couldn’t figure out.”
“So, where’re they?”
“Home.”
“Let’s go, then.”
Their mother was reluctant to follow them, but she has to.
★★★
★Onami’s place★
“They’re inside.” Their mother said.
“Call them out, then.” She called their names several times but there was no response from them.
“You have to follow us to the palace and explain to the king where you hide them in.” They said and some grasp her by the shoulders.
“Why would I hide them? They did nothing wrong!” She yelled.
She was dragged out of the place.
Meanwhile, Onami and Naomi has went to their usual gambling place.

★King’s chamber★
“What’s wrong with my father?” Titania asked,the royal doctor.
“His Majesty fainted due to the sickness he has, the Queen death triggered the sickness and it’s getting out of hand.” The royal doctor explained.
“What?! When did it start?”Queen Amyra asked.
“3 months ago.”
“You mean His Majesty has been suffering from the disease since 3 months ago?” Titania said, astonishingly.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Is there any cure for it?”. asked.
“No, there isn’t.” The royal doctor said.

Onami’s mother was seen tied with a rope after being severely punished. She told them she was the thief and not her daughters.
She was hardly recognized again, her face were filled with blood same as every part of her body in which the cloth doesn’t cover.
A mask man throws the fire on the woods before her,soon it starts to catch up fire.
Onami mother didn’t revealed her sadness instead she acted strong.
★★★
Onami and Naomi went back home with the thought that their mother wouldn’t be yet back from her friend’s place.
But when they got home, they saw something different. Everywhere was scattered, the door they locked was widely opened.
“What happened? Why’s everywhere mess up?” The said they entered.
“Where’s mother? Let’s go and look for at her friend’s place.”
“She’ll surely be there. But who the hell did this mess?” Onami said, lividly.
★★★
When they got to their mother friend place, they were told that she hasn’t visited her that afternoon and maybe she went somewhere else.
Onami and Naomi became afraid after hearing this.
Luckily, they saw footsteps around the area and decided to trace it thinking their mother might be somewhere in the area. Because most areas there’re busy places.
After tracing the last footstep, they heard some people laughters and decided to listen to their conversations.
Onami moved closer and stayed behind a fence where she saw a person vividly that scared her.
“Mother.” She called in a whispers.
“Did you find anything there?” Naomi who seems to know nothing asked from behind.
“I…saw…h..er..” Onami stammered.
“Who?” Naomi asked curiously.
“Mother!”
“Mother? How?” Naomi decided to take a look and saw their mother burning gradually with fire.
“Mother?” She also called in a whispers and quickly covers her mouth with her palm.
“I need to go and save her! She’s almost… I…”
“It’s too late, she can’t survive it. Her body has been burned beyond limit.” Naomi said,in a whispers pulling her back.
“Let me go!”
“No, you can’t!”
“I have to go and save her, Naomi!” Onami yelled.
“They might ki||ed us as well. Don’t you see they has our pictures? Maybe they’re looking for us as well. We can’t risk a whole family!” Naomi said, and Onami burst into tears so as Naomi also did.
“Mother, please come back to us! Don’t die, please! Let’s save her, please! She’s dying!” Onami cried out.

Sa. brought him his meals that afternoon.
“Arthur, I brought you your meals. Please try some because it’s delicious.” She said, smiling sweetly at him.
And then, Arthur rose up and walked towards her. He guled at the person before him and his eyes was seeing something different.
“You’re beautiful..!” He found himself saying so.
“Thank you.” She said, feeling happy for his complimented.
“I need to get going, Arthur.” She said, turning back to leave but he grasp her hand.
“Don’t leave yet.” He pleaded.
“Why?!”
“You look exactly like her?” Arthur said, smiling foolishly.
Not knowing that she was already jealous where she stood.
Instead of him to reply her, he pulled her to himself and her face turned round his.
He grinned and she did the same.
“You’re more beautiful when you smiled that way.”

★Queen Amyra’s suite★
“Let’s throw the male child inside the river, mother..” Titania suggested.
“I agree with you. Tomorrow’s your birthday, I don’t want you to be sad all through the day.” Queen Amyra said, motherly.
“We’ll leave him to bear his fate. If he dies or survive, it’s none of our concern. We’ll make sure we tell them not to put him in the river closer to our village, it’ll be another kingdom.” Titania said.

“Happy birthday to my beautiful girl, Naomi.”
“What about me? Mother. Am I not beautiful?”Onami asked jealously.
“Of course, you’re. Both of you’re my precious little darlings.” Their mother said and they ran to hug her.

“My lady, you’re the beautiful woman on earth today.” Her maid commented as Titania stared at herself in the mirror.
“Of course, I know..” She said, smiling.
★Palace Hall★
The king, the queen, Castiel, Arthur and some other important persons’re seen sited in the seat provided for them.
Titania walked into the Hall majestically, feeling so high.
She sat beside her mother and they watched the dancers displaying their ski||s.
Suddenly, Titania stood up, walked towards the king and bowed.
“Father, I have a wonderful birthday gift to present to you.” She declared.
On hearing this, people started to murmured to themselves wondering what she meant.
“What’s it? My dear.” The king asked, eagerly.
“I’m carrying Arthur’s seed, which means you’ll soon be a father-in-law.” Titania said, sounding very happy.
The people looked at each other’s eyes. Castiel looked at Arthur for a reply but he said it isn’t true.
