Everyone was amused by Zevan's sudden transformation from a dragon to a red knight.

A knight with a sword sharp as a beast's fangs. He surprised them with his true form even the gods are jealous of his entrance.

He held his sword and swivelled it on both sides as if he's gonna fight an army of men. He chose to exaggerate everything including his powers.

Zevan wanted Audrey to feel more threatened that he was alive and kicking in front of her. The princess thought he was just an illusion but to her surprise she's gonna deal with him.

"How are you alive? The scepter killed you!" the brunette princess scowled at the knight.

Whilst the knight didn't spoke nor object her words. No one knows how he survived the scepter's powers.

They could only thought of the prince of hearts being an immortal if that was possible for a villain.

My father's necklace saved me. Zevan wanted to boast about it but could not speak the words out. It was a gift he have from his father before he abandoned him.

It was given by Queen Mirana and passed it to Ben treasuring it. He gave it to Zevan the day they arrived at Auradon and the day he asked for his help.

Ben gladly remembered Queen Mirana's favors of him giving the necklace to the son of the knave of hearts.

The necklace holds a strong power inside of it and it is what Zevan's visions told him so. A power only a villain can control.

It was supposed to be a gift to his mother but knave of hearts thought of his decisions of giving it to his son instead to his wife.

For his wife is an insane woman with no ruler's behavior inside of her and she could do anything if it was given to her. The knave was glad she didn't find out about the necklace's powers.

"Enough if I have to end you again I'll do it with more power!" Zevan didn't want to interfere with Audrey's questions but he has to fight in order for him to save not only Auradon but also the evil power hiding inside of the princess.

"I do not want to fight you" Audrey was about to take action but stopped midway when the knight had spoken.

Why is that he came to save his friends even the kingdom and automatically transformed into something they are unknown of but not wanting a fight?

He came for trouble and now he will face it alone but what is stopping him from doing so?

"What? you came prepared but is afraid to fight a princess?" it sounded too upsetting for Zevan, it feels like Audrey was calling out his cowardice.

"Yes I am afraid, I am always afraid of what I may become after having uncontrollable powers and so do you" the knight stated with pure intentions of not hurting the princess.

He removed his gears , threw the sword and he was now looking like a normal villain from the isle but with wounds around his body parts.

"You may have the scepter in your hands but you don't know what it'll do to you, it's powers are capable of destroying anything including you" everyone's now all ears at him speaking words of wisdom or perhaps words of encouragement.

He was in fact encouraging the princess to not destroy anything on her own and just hand down both the scepter and the crown.

"The powers were never yours in the first place Audrey and you know what will happen after you conquer everything right? you will lose everyone around you and you wouldn't want that" Zevan spoke making the princess drown in her own tears, her emotions also distracted her.

She realized that the whole thing was just the scepter's powers and she rethinking of everything she had done.

The knight thought it would be easy to stop her and his words had strucked Audrey like a lightning bolt from the very beginning.

"I.. don't know.. everyone always mistreat me as if I'm some kind of a villain, I'm always the villain in their story and I never felt the attention I needed before" Audrey admitted what she really feels about everything.

Having those powers did not make her happy but it did help her in a right way that she finally released the wave of sorrow in her heart.

"It's okay to feel like that, all of us even the people of Auradon respects you as the princess you are so trust me we all like the real Audrey and not this one" somehow Zevan's words made her smile.

And for the first time they think it was the genuine smile Audrey had given them in a while. They were left speechless of the way the prince of hearts really is a man of words not only powers.

Audrey was now coming down to them with Celia on her side, they came down just to tell the knight that she was thankful of making her realize she was more than a princess.

They were all satisfied that Audrey had given up the crown and the scepter. She hand it to Zevan still in his spot.

"Zev?" the knight stared at the scepter in his hands as if it was calling his name with it's powers.

Sometimes he really thinks that the scepter was somehow cursed, deeply cursed that it made people wary of getting a hold of it.

"You're not thinking of destroying Auradon too am I right?" Ben walked near him as the knight stared at him with no emotions.

Zevan only smirked at the sight in his hands and the joy in their faces vanished. They became more afraid of what's to come.

"Hand it to me Zevan please" before they could stop the prince of hearts he hold onto it tight and raised it up high creating a huge wave of magic from it.

The rest of them covered their eyes in fear of not knowing what the prince had in mind.

"Relax beast, your people are now safe" they went ecstatic that the prince just waved the scepter up getting rid of the spells.

"Our people" Ben gave him a victorious hug and the older returned it patting his back.

The knight turned around not forgetting about Audrey who surrendered everything she stole.

"Next time you'll trick us into something wicked , spell me first" Zevan joked out and the princess laughed a bit joining everyone else.

Audrey looked so exhausted from her schemes and no one seemed to notice this but the prince of hearts.

She breathing heavily and her eyes were starting to close. Before Audrey could fall down Zevan ran to her and caught her in no time.

"The scepter's might have drained her inner powers and she's slowly losing it" Mal said slightly waking Audrey up but nothing happened.

Ben offered that he'll carry her on the way back to the castle and laid her down in her room.

The princess was now cold as ice, her soul drifting away and she really adapted her mother's curse because of how the scepter drained both of her soul and powers.

"She's slipping away" Evie said making them more uncomfortable of the situation.

"The ember's the only thing that could only wake her up but we need the full power of it and he's the only one who could use it full force on her" Mal told all of them.

They listened but they were still planning on how to get Hades in Auradon without him acting like another villain on the loose.

"We'll send guards to get him"
