When Namjoon rushes out of the tower exit, the tower crumbles behind him, so he quickly ducks to the ground and wraps himself around his husband.

"Are you okay?!" Jungho asks as he and his wife rush toward them.

"We are okay," Namjoon mutters and cradles his husband in his arms.

"She took him in the night, that night he disappeared. She tortured him to turn him into a monster." Seokjin whispers as a tear trickles down his face. "She is the assassin that killed Nari. She killed our children."

"I am so sorry, my Love." Namjoon cries and snuggles his face against Seokjin's face.

"You have done nothing wrong. Please do not apologize." Seokjin sniffles and wraps his arm around his husband. "Just like we found Nari, we will find Minjae."

"Yes." Namjoon nods and tightens his embrace around his husband.

When the elven army sees that the tower is nothing but a pile of rubble, they drop their weapons and fall to their knees. Yoongi and Soohyuk pant as they look around at the countless bodies surrounding them.

"Finally. Peace." Zahra whispers and wipes off the blood dripping down her face.

"Yoongi!" Jimin jumps off the dragon he is on and runs over to his lover. "Are you okay?"

"I am okay." Yoongi smiles and hugs his life partner.

"Something happened with Jungkook," Jimin mutters as he snuggles in Yoongi's embrace.

"He probably used too much energy again." Yoongi calmly hums and lifts Jimin into his arms.

"Crown Prince Soohyuk, are you okay?" Hoseok asks as he walks over to the dark elf.

"I am." Soohyuk smiles as he looks at the handsome dragon.

"Good." Hoseok hums and stands next to the dark elf.

Once Taehyung recovers from the pain, he and Jungkook quickly rush over to the man they left tied up. When they reach him, they notice that his gaze has changed from before.

"She must be dead." The man calmly mutters as he looks at Jungkook and Taehyung.

"She is," Taehyung responds and observes the man.

"I am guessing that you are no longer seven." Jungkook hums and approaches the man.

"You are correct. I am forty-three years old." The elven prince answers as he scrutinizes the half-human, half-dark elf before him.

"We are cousins," Jungkook explains when he notices the prince's expression.

"Has King Namjoon returned?" The prince asks in surprise and awe.

"Not really sure." Taehyung hums and then breathes fire on the ropes to melt them off the man.

"You are beautiful." The elven prince mutters in awe as he admires the beautiful dragon.

"I am mated." Taehyung quickly answers and moves to Jungkook's side.

"Pity." The man chuckles and looks at Jungkook.

"Follow us." Jungkook calmly tells the elven prince.

When they approach Namjoon, Jungho's and Soo-ah's eyes widen because the elven prince looks just like their oldest daughter. Noticing their expressions, Namjoon realizes who the elven man looks like.

"I am guessing you are Crown Prince Kangjoon." Namjoon smiles as he looks at his nephew.

"I am," Kangjoon responds with an excited smile.
