Early in the morning, Queen Zulhi took three of the X'hikini guards and bless the kingdom of Vadali with an unexpected visit. They then arrived at the palace of Vadali. As Queen Zulhi was exiting the carriage, she whispered to herself –Still no style I see– staring at the Vadali palace.
–Make haste– said Queen Zulhi leading the way towards the royal guards of Vadali.
–I require audience of the royals–
–Are you expected?–
–No, I'm not expected–
–Then I'm afraid I can't let you in Queen Zulhi–
–Do you know who I'm?–
–Yes, my queen. I'm just doing my job.–
–You better go in and...–
Queen Bahili made her way to the royal entrance. –Ah Queen Zulhi– with a pretentious smile as she was making her way down the stairs.
–To what do we owe the pleasure?–
–Queen Bahili–
–Please, make haste–
They both made their way inside the palace. Queen Bahili offered Queen Zulhi tea which she accepted.
–I was in the neighborhood and I thought to myself, I need to see Queen Bahili before returning to X'hikini–
–I see–
–I got you some gifts–
Queen Zulhi signaled to her guards to bring the chest. They opened the chest and there were gold cutlery inside. Queen Bahili looked at the gift as if it were an insult.
–My gratitude Queen Zulhi. However, we have plenty of the set in the palace–
–You can never have enough golden cutlery in the palace ,can you Queen Bahili?–
–I guess not, thank you–
–No need, we're family after all. And family looks out for each one–
They both exchanged pretentious smiles across the royal couches as they were sipping their tea.
Back at the palace of X'hikini, prince Khazima is looking for his mom. He then stumbled to the library where he found his brother, Prince Ryanair reading a book.
–Have you see mother, brother?–
–She traveled–
–Traveled where?–
–How am I to know prince Khazima?–
Khazima lost patience and continued his search.

As she was moving closer to princess Alaiza, princess Alaiza felt the strong force the penanggalan possessed. Her heart started to feel heavy, enough for her to fail to ventilate.

She then fell to the ground and lost consciousness. Before the penanggalan could take advantage of her state. One of the objects of Unthra saw her lying down unconscious. –princess Alaiza– running towards her. The penanggalan failed to complete its mission as everyone gathered around princess Alaiza.
