After cutting off the Witch's head Young then ran outside to join his master.
"What the hell were you still doing inside?" Joey asked sitting on top of his horse as it appears that he was waiting for Young.
So Young silently climbed his own horse "Let's go" Young responded without answering his question as Joey stares at Young's sword that has blood spread on it.
"I hope you didn't do anything stupid because I will have your skin peeled" Joey said and stared badly at, Young, before kicking off with his horse while Young stares at him in surprise.
Even after he has left, Young still stared at that sane position be was formally standing fir a while.
Before he was caught up by the voice of the people coming from the Witch's hut, murmuring about how he killed the Witch.
But he however ignored it as he rides after Joey but also having it in mind that he has a very big and important mission to complete which is saving Melissa and Castor.
He can't just allow Joey to kill his family just like that.
Young's main thought about saving Joey's family was that Joey will think that he is the enemy for the time being but will appreciate him later for he has done a good job.

So while Joey was on his way riding home with anger Young was trying to get some words into his head.
"Please don't tell me that you are actually trying to listen to that Witch? Your Majesty, she could be lying" Young said as Joey looks at him.
"She had never lied to me, I trust her and I know what she can do, and everything she had prophesized has all came to pass" Joey replied as Young stares at him surprisingly.
Like what kind of a human would even think of killing his family just because of a legacy? a useless and worthless legacy.
A legacy of evil? a reasonable and normal man wouldn't even see this as a heavy task.
Without hesitation they will consider submitting to the people they has offended instead of considering killing their own family, their own blood not adopted.
But that's Joey's pattern of life though, he never wanted to live a peaceful and normal life or even a family life, he always want a life where he will fight and slaughter people.
And that's exactly what has caused the prophecy, it could have ended years ago if he had listened to the first Witcher he met and she revealed it to him and actually offered him a better chance of escaping it.
Instead of considering that he got angered by the prophecy because that is the first time he us hearing about it and so he thought that it was just a mere say to put fear in him
And so he killed the Witcher who has offered to help only because the option she offered him has something to do by him becoming a servant which he never wanted.
And that's exactly when he came into power newly as the king and protector of his people so that was already making him feel too big.
However the main reason Joey become so brutal and ruthless was that he lived a painful life, his father and mother was killed right in his presence when he was a kid.
The same man who killed his parents took him in and made him who he has become which is of course king George.
He trained Joey while he was living with him till the day Joey finally find out about the Beast living in him and knew that no one can stand him in a fight then he started making his own decisions.
He doesn't take the King's order anymore and so the king gave him one of the Kingdom he has conquered to rule over it.
And that was how he become a ruthless warrior, king and killer

Moreover Young was still trying so hard to see if he can stop this ongoing saga from happening as he continues trying to force some words into Joey's skull.
"Your Majesty I know you wouldn't feel good if your reputation become a destroyed legacy and I suggest that this is not the best option!"
"The option you are taking is a very bad one" Young said as Joey stared at him making him to look a little bit scared.
"Then tell me another better option?" Joey asked as they continues riding their horses.
"I suggest that you should consider submitting..." Young was still you trying to say when Joey interrupted him with a loud voice as he hates so much to hear that word 'Submit'
"Heyyy....!!" Joey shouted at Young making him to tremble.
"Don't complete that statement! and moreover how wouldn't that one also destroy my legacy!" Joey interrupted with a loud voice.
"It will destroy only some of these legacy not all" Young said as Joey slows down his horse making Young to slow down his also.
Although he is always afraid of his master because he knows how Joey kills without regretting it.
"I don't want any of my legacy to be destroyed, not even one" Joey yelled at Young as he takes a deep breathe.
"Your Highness, it is only going to erase all your bad legacy and make them..." Young was still saying when Joey interrupted again.
"How dare you label my legacy bad!!?" Joey shouted at him.
"Am sorry Your Majesty, but come on, there should be other way to fix this, I know I always used to be afraid of talking to you but I can't just watch you do this one"
"You are really going to regret it if you ever kill Castor and his mother, they are the only thing that gives you peace of mind now"
"Melissa is the only one that puts you under control, any day you lose her, you may get out of control and could even waste everyone in your kingdom and you will have no people to rule over again" Young began to say and it appears that Joey is beginning to pay attention to Young as Joey kept on looking at him as he continues speaking.
"You can't kill your own son" Young said.
"And a son that will grow up to be a threat to his father is not supposed to exist" Joey responded and attempted to continue riding home but Young interrupted.
"What if I have another better solution to this!?" Young said as Joey turned and looks at him once again.
"And whatever this suggestion could be, if it ever come out as a useless one in my ear then I will caught off your tongue"
"So you would learn to keep quiet" Joey responded as Young stares at him somehow.
"Now speak" Joey urged making Young to take a deep breath.
"Why don't we find another witcher, it could be a wizard this time and if he prophecies that your son Castor will be a threat to you then I will give you a go ahead" Young said as Joey rides closer to him.
"And who gave you the power to give me a go ahead?" Joey said as Young bows his head before him. "Am sorry your Majesty but I was only trying to say that I wouldn't talk to you about it again" Young explained.
"Then come on let's go, I know a Wizard we can meet" Joey said as he turns his horse and changed his direction while Young joined him as well.
But Young was becoming too afraid because he knew that the Prophecy might be true because of Joey's statement.
The Witch said that Joey is going to get his skin peeled and sliced and not long after she said that Joey made a similar statement even though he is waiting for the real action to happen.
So truly Young is becoming even afraid of himself being close Joey.

They were still on their way to meet the Wizard but there was this area they get to and it become so much new to Young.
The trees were filled with snow and the trees have no leaves on them, they are just dried trees which means that they are actually in the woods.
So Young and Joey's horses are no longer running but taking their steps one after the other.
"Have you been to this area before?" Young asked Joey who glanced at him before answering.
"Yeah, long ago, when these trees still have leaves on them" Joey said as Young looks around the trees.
"What happened to them?" Young asked as Joey waves his head.
"I have no idea, but I was once told by my friend that this usually occurs but I haven't witnessed it since then and today was the first day I have witnessed it" Joey responded and it was more like something touched him and he halted his horse and draw out his sword.
"Halt... silent" He said as he halts his horse and Young halted his too and then Joey stepped down from the horse and looks around, scanning through the whole area.
As he was suspecting heavily that something is wrong but after a few look he turned and looks at Young "Clear!" Joey said and stepped back to his horse then Young sighted a man aiming arrow at Joey which Joey haven't noticed.
Young would have liked to save Joey from the arrow but right now he wants Joey dead and so he pretended like he didn't see the arrow man.
As the man aim so well at Joey who was busy taking out a bottle of water to drink from his horse and was never expecting any attack.
And Young is already breathing heavily, he couldn't watch his Master die so he looks down immediately the man was releasing the arrow out of his hand against Joey.
