The assassin was arrested and taken into custody. Xena seemed really tired and was about to fall, but she was caught by Her Majesty. Her Majesty was both sad and happy at the same time. She was happy that Xena had been brutal to the assassins, but devastated by the sight of Xena's wound. She raised Xena's shirt in order to examine the wound, but Xena stopped Her Majesty from doing so by placing her hand on her shirt because she was shy. However, Her Majesty slapped her hand away and raised the shirt, teary-eyed at the sight of the wound. Her Majesty ordered everyone to clear the room and asked the royal physician to be summoned immediately. Meanwhile, Her Majesty got a first aid kit and started to clean the wound. She sat Xena down, rolled up her shirt, and began to clean the wound. Both of them sat in silence, neither of them speaking because no language in the world was capable of expressing the feelings they were going through. Despite the pain, Her Majesty decided to break the silence and started talking.
Her: "Why did you go barbaric on them?"
Xena: "They hurt you, and I lost my sanity."
Her: "Why? Because they hurt your employer!?"
Xena: "No, because they hurt you!"
Her Majesty was surprised. It was the first time she had heard something so sweet in a while. Unknowingly, a smile crept onto Her Majesty's lips. Xena noticed it and started to stare at Her Majesty, and their eyes locked. But the stare was short-lived as they were distracted by a loud sound. It was the Queen Mother, who barged into the room forcefully as the guards tried to stop her from entering. She saw the room and immediately collapsed in shock at the sight of the completely destroyed room. Her Majesty and Xena tried to wake her up, and suddenly they heard a loud voice saying that the assassin was dead from cyanide poisoning.
