While he was looking a the other side a dark hand came out of the sea from the others side and carried Diana who even grabbed the hand thinking that it was DK.
The hand took her into the sea and started drowning her, DK is still yet to notice.
Not until he started hearing the sound of the water as she was struggling to breathe inside the river.
DK look back and was shocked to not found Diana inside the both.
"Diana!!!" DK screamed and jump into the river immediately, it was a dark figure grabbing Diana inside the river.
DK immediately drew out his sword and as soon as the figure sighted DK he rushed to attack him and left Diana behind.
But DK used his sword and sliced it into two and tear it apart then rushed Diana who was sinking deeper into the sea.
He lifted her out of the sea and put her back into the boat then put his sword behind his back at where it usually stays.
Then jump into the boat as well and discover that the demon has left Diana in a very bad state.
Her wounded hand which Mabel managed to wrap and stop it from bleeding however started pushing out blood again.
The first thing he did was to push out the water she sipped into her stomach with force and she started breathing slowly but she wasn't able to move again.
It seems that the demon was actually draining her life out of her, and DK knew that the demon came from nowhere if not from The Stranger.
Now he has more reasons to hate the stranger, and the battle line have been drawn, the Stranger should await his wrath.
He was bothered about Diana but not that much since they are already getting home but he was biting his fingers as to lose Diana.

DawnMight.
"My princess, you will have to listen to me! letting immaculate go is not a good idea! but if you are considering letting her go then I should go with her" Stewart said to princess Yulia as they are taking a walk.
"Stewart, allowing you to go with her is going to ruin every part of our plan! if Diana see the both of you she will know that we want to play! she will know that there's something fishy, we have to take the risk of trusting Immaculate, she's our only choice now" Princess Yulia responded still standing strongly on her word.
But Stewart wouldn't want to rest about this, he keep on insisting and persuading the princess not to allow Immaculate leave, because she is not that foolish to abandon her old friend and start working for their own favor.
Not even after Stewart himself deceived her, so how will she give in this easily, although she made accept that she has given in and when she has left they will discover that she's still with Diana.
"My princess, I don't really know why you are not getting my point..." Stewart was still insisting and then princess Yulia angrily interrupted him.
"I dare you never to talk to me about this again! I have made my decision and my decision stands!! for your information, Immaculate will be leaving tonight and as the new captain,"
"I want you to make sure she left the Kingdom without being wounded by any means! if anything happens to her I will skin you alive!!" Yulia said with a serious and determine look on her face then angrily walked away.

The Stranger's Den.
The stranger was still having some discussion with the little sisters.
"So this is my little Kingdom, what would you say about it?" The Stranger said to Yuri who looked at his face once again and looks around the kingdom again.
They are are the seventh floor of the castle, so they can get the views of almost every part of the little Kingdom and they can also see the destroyed castle of the Dawn City.
"So, you are saying that you are the king of this Kingdom?" Yuri asked a very important question Maureen didn't ask.
The Stranger wasn't actually the appointed king of the Kingdom, the Kingdom has no king and if the people were to appoint by themselves they will never choose the Stranger because of how cruel he is.
Everyone is scared and afraid of him, there's nobody that would want such a cruel king to rule him or her.
So while Yuri asked that question The Stranger took in a deep breath.
"Well, you have had your answers already, this is my kingdom and having the both of you as my princess will be a very big lucky of me, you both have no home and people to take care of you but..." The Stranger said as he looks into their faces.
"I want the both of you to bother not, I am here to take care of you and give you all you want...! I will be that special father more then those guys you are depending on" The Stranger said touching Yuri's hair softly.
"My dear, the person you are swearing your loyalty to... only wants to use you, where were they when your parents were killed, why didn't they protect you both?" He asked and Yuri interrupted.
"I believe that you start from where you are, where were you also? why didn't you come at our rescue?" Yuri asked while the stranger smiled at her.
"You see, at first the both of you weren't in my kingdom, and I have no idea about your existence, but immediately your sister" he said as he stares at Maureen.
"Maureen, came into my kingdom, I ran to her rescue and save her from the eyes of the enemies and as soon as she told me that there is you, we started looking for you, Hmm...? I care much about the both of you" he concluded.

The Hut.
DK has finally arrived at the healer's hut and Diana is on her sick bed getting treatment.
"Is she going to survive..??" DK asked the witch as Diana was vibrating on the bed because of some dark magic the witch was using to heal her.
The Witch didn't respond to him but kept silent at him. "Is she going to survive it!!!" DK asked with a louder voice as Diana's eyes was turning up, it was almost like the Witch is chocking her to death.
"Alright you should stop!! you are hurting her!" DK asked but then the witch started laughing strangely.
"What are you doing..? stop!!" DK shouted as he rushed to push the witch away but it was already too late as Diana went mute immediately, she's no longer breathing.
