Tedine sighs as he sees Neva pacing around the room. He had already reached back her home safely with Amira's help.

Tedine : she'll be fine. She's my mother. She can't possibly die.

Neva : the king is known for being back on his words ! At times.

Amira : I've been observing the palace. The King is quite untrustable . Does only what he wants . Has much less care what others think of him.

Grey and Esper came into the room.

Tedine ; my mother coming back ?

Grey : erm...

Esper : good news and bad news.

Neva : what do you mean ?!

Esper ; she's alive. Good.

Neva : but ?!!

Esper ; hurt. Nothing she can't fix. Remember Dicka ?

Amira : oh. Ouch. That one is hard to fix and painful to fix.

Neva : what do you mean ?!!

Amira : don't worry. Let's just wait for her to come back.

Shadow Demon carries her on his back " Miss... So much just for..."

Nana : it's the war. It's worth it.

Denven : you're... Not just any small girl. As much as I respect you now, you're also an enemy to revere should we become into that one day.

Nana : bye Mr Denven.

" Please take care of her." And he leaves.

Shadow Demon: this injury... It's not according to plan.

Nana : not everything can be smooth.

Shadow Demon starts to walk with her on his back" if not for Mr Neva..."

Nana laughed" he is your employer ."

Shadow Demon: I protect only you. He has other guards.

Nana : that's why he got caught. They're not as good as you.

Shadow Demon: your safety is my only concern.

Nana : aww. That's very nice of you. I like being protected by you too.

Shadow Demon: yes Miss. I'll always protect you.

So they returned back.

Neva rushed out " nana !! "

Tedine : mother ! Oh... Ok. You can fix it.

Neva : you can ?

Nana : right. I can fix my own back. Don't be stupid.

Tedine : then ...

Nana : then let me lie down.

Tedine: right. Shadow Demon.

Shadow Demon brings her to her room and places her down carefully to let her lie down " Miss. Water ?"

Neva : people ! Someone ! Get your Miss a water ! How are you ?

Shadow Demon moved aside as his role needed him to.

Nana : I'll be ok.

Neva kneeled by her bedside " I'm so sorry. Because of me... I should have brought more guards."

Nana : it's not your fault.

Neva: I should have been more careful.

Nana: it's really ok. We didn't think he had the audacity to kidnap you in our own country.

Neva : nana...

Nana looks to tedine. Tedine held Neva back " she'll be fine. She's my mother. She needs some rest." Neva cups her cheek " rest well. " Then kisses her forehead before he left.

Nana rolled her eyes " such a worrier."

Shadow Demon: it does hurt isn't it ?

Nana : I ate some anesthetic. Get me a healer.

Shadow Demon nods.

Nana : not asking why ?

Shadow Demon: you don't want your spine to be ok. You won't want to walk yet.

Nana smiled " hehe. You do know me "

Shadow Demon: but you can't walk anymore now.

Nana: hehe. I have you and tedine. Nothing to worry.
