Theo got up and took his sword and motioned Kevin to come and attack him. Kevin growled and launched towards him with full rage. Theo stumbled a little but managed to dodge his attack successfully. "You are pretty skilled." Theo said to Kevin and made a cut on his other arm making his sword fall down. 

Sky was tired of waiting for orders from Theo so he himself ordered half of his troop to reach to the battle field. They all got their weapons ready and set out to the borders with Sky leading them. 

Just as they all reached there, they saw nothing but destruction of life, of land, of resources and the destruction of humanity. It was as if some beasts were fighting against each other without showing any signs of mercy at all. They also saw soldiers from Andria fighting alongside them and Jake was leading that whole troop. Sky tightly gripped his sword and looked at his troop. "Tell me, what are we?" He asked them. "We are warriors who will give up everything, even our life to protect our kingdom." All of them replied in unison. "All hail Philaria!" Sky raised his sword high followed by his whole troop and they all set out in the battle field.

Rose was sitting in her room praying for everyone's safety when suddenly she felt immense pain in her belly and started screaming loudly. Hearing her screams, the medic along with some other maids came rushing inside. "It's time. Prepare everything right now!" The medic said to the maids and they rushed out to get all the things she asked for.

Rose was screaming loudly in pain. She just wanted her husband beside her at that moment but she knew that it was not possible. She endured all that pain by herself. All that pain and suffering ended when she heard the cries of her child. Her tears of pain were replaced by tears of happiness. She panted heavily as she weakly looked at her child covered in blood in the medic's hands.

The medic cleaned the blood off the baby and wrapped a clean cloth around him. "Congratulations, your highness! It's a boy." She said with a wide smile and handed the baby to Rose. Just as Rose held him in her hands, she felt as if her whole world turned bright. She smiled widely while crying tears of happiness. She hugged her son and placed a kiss on his forehead. "Welcome to this world, Theron." She smiled at her son.

"Theron?" The medic looked at her. "Yes, Prince Theron, my son." She smiled at the medic. "That's a beautiful name, your highness." The medic remarked. "Thank you." Rose looked at her son who was sleeping peacefully in her arms. "His nose and lips are just like Theo." She placed a small peck on his nose. "I hope he comes back soon and meets his son." She said to herself and smiled sadly on his absence.

Claire was able to enter inside Sinsila's borders. Her main goal right now was to attack the castle because that would divert Kevin's attention from Theo to his own castle. She sped up her horse and reached the backside of the castle. There were a lot of guards but she was able to take down all of them along with James. As they both were about to enter inside, one of the guards shot an arrow at Claire's direction which hit her shoulder making her sword fall down. "Queen!" James came rushing towards her. "This is just the beginning." She said and forcefully took out that arrow, picking up her sword.

Theo felt a sudden rush in his heart. It was as if someone just sent his heart a signal. He smiled widely on getting his instinct. "What are you so happy about?" Kevin asked him. "My child is here." Theo smiled at him and Kevin smirked. "Oh so sad that you won't be there to see him." He put his sword on Theo's neck making a shallow yet big cut.

Kevin heard some of his soldiers who were talking a bit loudly. "Queen Claire from Andria is providing full back-up to Philaria." He heard them say which made his smirk go even more wider. "Looks like I'm gonna get two targets with just one arrow." He laughed maniacally and shoved his sword in Theo's stomach. 

Blood flowed down from Theo's mouth and he fell down on his knees. He knelt down trying to take out that sword, but his hands were shaking terribly. He groaned in pain while Kevin smiled in victory on seeing him like that. He kept his foot on Theo's head making him kneel further. "You should bow to the most powerful." He said to Theo and put more pressure on his head.

Sky saw all of this happening and rushed to them but before he could do anything, a lot of soldiers from Sinsila surrounded him and attacked at him all together. He fought them with all his might. 

Theo gained all his strength and took out that sword from his stomach. He pushed Kevin's foot off his head and got up while trembling. With all the energy he was left with, he held up a heavy rock and slammed that on Kevin's head making him fall down on the ground unconscious with his forehead covered in blood.

Theo himself collapsed down on the ground. He crawled to the nearest huge rock and sat along with its support. His each and every breath was becoming shallower, the pain was becoming unbearable for him now. He was no longer able to keep his eyes open. 

"Promise me Theo, that you will not leave both of us. Promise me that you will come alive."
"I promise, my Queen." 

He remembered Rose's words and smiled sadly. "I'm sorry, my Queen....I was not able to fulfill the only promise I ever made to you..." He looked down at his own bloody hands.  

"This war will bring nothing but more destruction and more loss of life!"

"You were totally right." He took a long breath enduring all that pain. Tears filled in his eyes and he looked up at the sky. "The history books might remember me as a great King but I know that I completely failed as a husband and a father...forgive me for this Rose...." Those were the last words he said before smiling at the sky.

He opened his eyes one last time and found himself in a completely blank area with just white light surrounding him. His eyes went wide and he looked all around, he was not able to move his body due to those wound but he tried to get up.

He then saw faint shadows of his parents, Jasmine and Sky's mother. His eyes became teary, he wanted to go and hug them but was not able to move at all. "We are proud of you, Theo." They all said in unison and started to disappear.

"Wait! Don't go!" Theo sat up straight. He touched his body and found no wounds at all. "Theo!" He heard Jasmine call him and he turned to her. "Jasmine!" He went to her and hugged her tightly. "What was all of that?" He asked her and Jasmine just looked down not knowing how to explain that to him. Theo turned to Rose and went to her. He began shaking her body trying to wake her up. "Rose! Wake up!" He shook her vigorously but she did not give any response.

"She won't wake up like this..." Max spoke making him look at him. "What do you mean?" Theo asked him and he sighed. "Just wait for a while and I will explain all of that to all of you at once." Max replied to him.

***** 

Sky saw all of that happening and rushed to his brother. "Brother!!!" He held his body in his arms and began waking him up. Seeing no response, his heart began sinking down. "Theo!!!! Wake up!!" He did everything to wake him up but got no response. Tears began to blur his vision as he desperately tried to wake up his brother. He hugged his body and began crying loudly.

"This is not what we wanted as revenge..."
