Isabella and Christian infiltrated in the Zimnicean Royal Palace by Isabella arranging a royal meeting with Antonela with the pretext of discussing about trading prices. She arrived at the palace and met the queen. Christian was disguised with a white mask to hide himself because if she saw him, the queen would know he was the so-called 'servant' that abandoned the castle and ran away a few days ago.

"Hello, your majesty." Queen Isabella said with a curtsey. "It is of utmost pleasure to meet you." She continued. Antonela nooded. "It is of utmost pleasure to meet you as well, my queen. And who is the person behind you?" She asked. "This is Elias White, my personal servant in this diplomatic mission." Isabella said. Christian bowed. "Hello, Your Majesty." Antonela nodded. "Now, let me show you to your room, my queen." She said.

Isabella went to her room with Christian. "We should wait for the person with white mask to come, then kidnap her, ask her for information and then kill her." Isabella said. Christian nodded. "Sounds like a plan." He said.

Yuna once again came to Antonela to raport how the Green Silence has been doing for the past days. Isabella and Christian went into the throne room and hid, waiting for Yuna to finish reporting. "Antonela. I have kidnapped 10 peasants since we last met. Here is the list of the locations they are sold in. To continue my business, you will need to give me 100 thousand lei." She said. Antonela nodded, took the list and gave Yuna the 100 thousand lei. 

When Yuna went outside of the throne room, she fleed towards the ballroom, where a secret passage was, connecting the mountain of the royal palace with the Brasovean Plateau. The ballroom was quite empty. 

Sneaking from behind her, Isabella jumped her and held her as Christian injected her with a sedative. Yuna fell asleep from the sedative, so they sneaked her inside of the basement. Inside the basement, they came across about 50 poor peasants with marks and cuts all over their body, crying and begging for a slice of bread and a glass of water because Antonela wasn't feeding them. Disgusted by the horrifying sight, Isabella and Christian were now more determined to shine light on the dissapearences than ever.

After a while, Yuna woke up tied to a chair. She muffled a scream, but her mouth was tied with take. Christian put his sword at her neck. "Scream and we will kill you." He said coldly. Isabella unzipped her mouth. "Tell us everything you know about the kidnappings of peasants and what the queen does." She said.

"Alright. I will tell you. Just let me live." Yuna said. "Alright. Queen Antonela came to me one day and asked me togive her locations where illegal human trades are. After a while, those trades were exausted, having no more humans so sell, so she proposed I kidnap peasants, sell them to these organizations and tell them where their camps are so she can buy them. That is a resumee of what happened." She said, betraying the queen. 

"How could you even agree with this?!" Isabella asked, disgusted. "You degenerate! Where do you even operate from?" She asked. Yuna quietly gave away the location."...The Brasovean Plateau..." She said.

Isabella nodded. "This is all we need to know." Christian said. "You can now-" Christian started, but Isabella snatched the sword from him and beheaded Yuna on spot. With Yuna dead, the Green Silence had nothing to operate with, so it was abolished.

Antonela came down to the basement. Shocked to see Isabella and Christian standing there, near the beheaded corpse of Yuna, she backed away. "You two... Yuna... How did you even find me?!" She asked. Isabella started laughing defiantly. "You fool. You lowly degenerate. Of course we found you. It was a fucking obvious pattern, you retarded whore." She yelled at Antonela. 

Christian took his mask out. "Remember me, Antonela? I worked as your servant before running away. I have spied on you in the throne room and taken pictures." He also said defiantly.

Antonela was fuming. Sateris appeared in her mind and gave her a burst of power. "I will kill you, bitches!" She said, gripping her iron rod. Sateris stopped her. "It is not worth it. If you kill them, it will be obvious you have something to do with the kidnappings. Instead, kidnap them and erase their memories." He said.

Antonela did that. She erased Isabella and Christian's memories, but, in the last moment, Theurgist Viktor appeared in their minds and protected them from the memory erasement. "My children, pretend your memories were erased because she will kill you if you reveal to still have your memories." He said and dissapeared from their minds. Isabella and Christian fell down into a deep sleep because of the failed memory erasement spell, so Antonela carried them outside and shipped them to Nuria Primas where they woke up.
