The next morning, Linda, Geneva and the team of decipherers and philologists had finally translated the last part of the faded texts about the Bloodline's Curse. It states "The wretched King of "Forest of Capet" and his bloodline will turn into Doves for 7 years should sunlight grace their skin." Further confirming that Leonardo is indeed the "Red Dove" of the prophecy.

"I can't believe that His Majesty is the "Red Dove"... I mean, I had my suspicions, but for it to be true..." says Geneva

Linda says, "Then... this just confirms what Leonardo said about me too..."

Geneva snaps her fingers and says "Exactly! We finally figured out who the prophecy was about, but how are you supposed to "cure" His Majesty?"

"Maybe, there's a way to stop Leonardo from turning into a Dove..."

"Oooo~ you might be right, then we just need to figure that out."

Linda worryingly questions "But, why would the "Dove" be "Red"? I'm worried that the "Red" would mean blood."

"You're right, that would mean His Majesty is destined to get hurt somehow."

"I pray that I'm wrong." Linda says worryingly.

A month has passed since the prophecy has been deciphered and Linda and Geneva had made no progress on breaking the bloodline's curse.

"Is there even a way to break this curse!" Said Geneva.

"There has to be a way? Right? Or are we misunderstanding the prophecy..." says Linda.

Geneva confidently says "Maybe, but the prophecy is definitely about you and His Majesty. I bet my knowledge on it!"

"Then, is there some other way I'm supposed to "cure" Leonardo?"

"Exactly! And maybe... This isn't the way."

"You're right..." then Linda thinks "I guess we have to just let the prophecy play out..."

Linda is now in the garden having tea with her sisters and father. And after a brief talk about how their life is faring, Liese says,

"I still can't believe that you're a part of a prophecy!"

"That's like, both scary and amazing at the same time." says Lilli.

Algar says worryingly, "I just hope nothing bad happens, I mean, the prophecy already sounds ominous..."

Linda sighs and says, "Me too, but we can't say for sure until it happens..."

Liese confidently says, "Don't worry so much, besides, even if something bad does happen. I have full faith that you two love birds will survive it."

Lilli changing the subject, "Speaking of "Love Birds" how have things been~?"

Algar says, "I want to know as well... I want to make sure His Majesty is treating you right."
