The preparations for the masquerade were beginning. But along the way, The king and queen fell ailing. "We tried all our best, but it seems that their condition is out of hand. I'm sorry, your highness." Robin went and sat next to his mother crying in her hand. "Honey, this is the last time I'm going to see you." she started coughing. "Just smile for us, please." Robin smiled through his tears just like his parents had wanted. "Ask me anything that you want me to do, anything," Robin whispered. "Find her and bring her back home." And with that, they both closed their eyes forever.

Robin was in his room. Just then, Antonie walked in. "Your highness, the funeral-" "Three days from now," Robin answered in a low deep voice. "Of course." Antonie left the room. Tears rolled down Robin's cheeks as he sat on his bed and rested his head on his hands. His parents were dead, gone forever. The only two people who would cross every limit to keep their son happy. "Their wish..." Robin thought. He turned around and stared at a picture taken of the two of them playing as kids. "They wish for me to find Jazmine..." Robin glued his face onto his window, fixing his eyes to the people's expressions from the news from Antonie. "A lot of things are going to change. Especially with her around." Robin thought as he felt butterflies in his tummy. The last time he had talked to Jazmine was not so long ago.

The day of the funeral arrived. Robin was wearing his usual black cloak, just without the hood. Robin's coronation was to be held on his birthday when he turned 22. Now all that was left was to do was to complete his parent's wish. "Hello?" he thought. Jazmine was at work when she heard his voice. "Yes?" "Just a few days ago, you told me you had moved to Sparks, right?" Jazmine nodded her head. "So you can come to the Masquerade, right?" Jazmine could feel his anticipation. She smiled. "Of course I will come. How could I miss the chance to meet my sweet loving brother face-to-face?" Robin laughed. "Fine then, meet you at the ball, princess..." Now there was only one problem. Robin had asked her to go to a place where Sarah told her not to go.  And that would lead to a big commotion.
