The ballroom was cleaned up after all guests were brought to the dining hall for dinner. Now there were only a few chairs in the middle of the room and Miles, Rey, Taytay and Barbara Bushtroll were bound to them. Next to both of the extrances of the ballrooms stood guards. Miles furiously tried to move to get himself free, but it wouldn't work. Rey watched amusedly. Sweat dripped over Taytay's forehead, he was that nervous.

''This is not how we won, it isn't the plan of the son!'' Barbara Bushtroll said.

''What do you mean?'' Miles asked.

''There is someone more mad, namely his dad!''

''Do you think he knew about the oracle?''

''That could be why the prince is in thrall and why the king organized this ball!''

''Holy flip, mate! So there is a chance that Robert lik- Uhm.. I mean.. isn't bad?''

''Yes!'' Taytay shouted happily.

''Richard, shut your face. It is because of you that we're in this mess,'' Miles said.

''Can't you just disappear?'' Rey asked.

''What do you mean? I-'' Taytay was interrupted by a knight: ''SILENCE!

''Are you really that gay? As a fairy, you can just go away!''Barbara Bushtroll whispered.

''Okay, wait. Before you go, we need a plan,'' Rey said.

''Who can we ask for help?'' Miles asked. ''Dean?''

''But how do we find him? I can only teleport if I know where people are. Dean teleported away with Yannick and I have no idea where they went,'' Taytay said way too loud and the knights turned around to them, but they didn't seem to notice anything.

''In the dining room is a princess, who I asked where Rey was. She had special powers or something, with which she could locate people,'' Miles said.

''Okay, then I will go there...'' Taytay said. Taytay stayed seated and everyone looked at him.

''THEN GO!'' Miles whispered aggressively.

''Oh, now?'' Taytay said loudly. The knights all looked at Taytay and he laughed awkwardly. Taytay disappeared and the knights ran confused to the chairs. They inspected his chair and one said: ''What happened? Where is he?!''

''Oh no, he is... uhm... dead?'' Miles said, super not convincingly, but the knights seemed to believe it and went to guard the entrance again.

''The fuck, how stupid are these knights?'' Rey said.

''What do you mean? I am just convincing,'' Miles said with full confidence.
