"I can make you the Queen and even quite the throne for you, if you can help me trick the princess, your friend Diana into my palms, then I will pay you heavily with gold, just name your price and it shall be done, please do this for me" Yulia said in tears awaiting Immaculate's response.
It might not even going to be a tough decision for her, since she's easily manipulated.
"Am sorry to say this but I have been deceived before and I am not going to be deceived again". Immaculate responded.
"And I was decided by someone that I trusted the most but he betrayed me because of you then how much more am I going to trust you yourself...? moreover" Immaculate said as she grabs the cup of ale.
"Are you actually expecting me to betray my friend or exchange the life of my friend in favor of yours?" Immaculate asked while Yulia waves her head as she wipes her tears.
She was crying before with the hope that she will be able to capture Immaculate emotionally but unfortunately it didn't work out.
"No, I am not saying that you should betray your friend, I am just asking for your help for me to see my parents once again and besides you could also make a wish once it's restored" Princess Yulia said as she paused then smiled a little bit.
"Yes!" she exclaimed happily while Immaculate was looking at her wondering why she's been so happy all of a sudden. She haven't accepted her proposal yet so why is she happy?
"And...?" Immaculate asked.
"Now, I just discovered the easiest way we can do this, what about after sacrificing her and reactivating the cave, I wish for my parents back and then you equally wish for you friend back and of course everyone else you have lost before then we can lock it back" Princess Yulia suggested while Immaculate kept her gaze fixed at nothing seeing so much sense in what the princess is saying.
"Well, I think I will have to agree with that one and so it doesn't have to be a thing of war anymore, when I meet my friend I will tell her about this" Immaculate said while Yulia waves her head.
"No, you are not supposed to tell her! you will ruin the plan" Yulia said as Immaculate raises her eyebrows as she is beginning to sense a deep game going on.
"Am not supposed to tell her, why?" Immaculate asked.
"Of course you are not supposed to tell her, all you have to do is to help trick her into our arms because if you tell her she will think that you teamed up with us to get her" Yulia said while Immaculate was left looking at her.
She believed that princess Yulia might be right, but not really, though it is all left for her to make her choices rightly or else she will discover herself being played again.

Midnight.
DK and his team are still in their camp this midnight, they are done roasting the fishes and they are eating it now.
DK was helping feed Diana as she isn't able to pick up things on her own for now.
"So, DK, so according to you we are destined to protect each other but I don't even know you, you background and who you are" Diana asked.
"Are you from my town..?" Diana asked but DK shrugged his shoulders and continues chewing his fish.
"I don't know" DK responded leaving Princess Diana looking at him in confusion.
"So, you are not from my town and we are destined to be look after each other, that's great... then where exactly are you from?" Diana asked and DK still shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know" He responded as Yuri, Mabel and Diana stares at themselves, does it mean that he came directly from the underworld or it means that he has no parents?
Then he wasn't giving birth to... or what? "excuse me are you saying that you don't know where you are from?" Diana asked and he nodded his head.
"Yes" DK responded.
"But how is that even possible?" Yuri interrupted the discussion and asked the very important question as DK looks at her.
"That's a question I have been asking myself for long now and I have been looking for the answer, I don't know my parents" DK responded.
"I have been a wanderer all of my life, looking for a place to live, all the places I have been to, nobody have accepted me, I don't even know my hometown but I know that I came from the forest" DK said while everyone was listening attentively as he bring out his sword and pinned it in their presence.
"One day, as I continue my journey, I found this word deep inside the forest and starting from that day I became the Dark Knight (DK) so I have no name" DK explained while everyone felt pity for him.
"DK, I'm really sorry for all you passed through, as you can see, how much are force you have passed through one or two difficulties, but we are alive that's what we should be grateful about" Mabel said while DK nodded.
"If you should be sorry then you don't have to include DK, he has no emotion anymore, since the day I found my sword, I knew that I was born different and only thing I cares about is princess Diana" DK responded.

Early Morning.
The day have broken, the birds of the sky are flying and the animals of the trees are leaping from one tree to another and they were all peeping according it's creature sound.
Slowly Mabel waked up and discovered that DK is already awake and he was standing up, having his body rest on the tree and looking at nothing.
"You should wake the others so that we can get going" DK said to her without even having to look back at her he knew that she's awake.
Without a waste of time Mabel waked Yuri and Diana, and they were all set to continue their journey as DK lifted Diana into his arms with care.
All of a sudden Yuri started having a strange feeling as she felt a big vibration on her body that almost fell her down.
"Yuri are you okay?" Mabel asked because everyone noticed the vibration from her then Yuri began looking around as her eyes turns dark.
"DK are you seeing what's going on...? Yuri what's really going on with you?" Mabel asked again.
"Something is coming!! everyone get ready something very powerful is coming here and I'm feeling just to connected to it!" Yuri screamed putting everyone in pressure.
