Late at night, Queen Margareth sneaked out from the castle. Eric, at that time was already suspicious of her mom so when he saw her, he followed. Queen Margareth headed to Mulgarath. “What could she be doing here?” Eric said suspiciously. “My dear Sister, it’s been so long. Are our plans doing well?” Simon asked. “As expected, things happen according to how we planned,” she said, “but earlier, there was this girl named Kathlyn who entered our Kingdom. I saw her when she was changing her clothes, she has the mark!” King Simon was startled, “Are you sure? I want to see her!” “I want you to kill her. She must die. Do something! She’s getting close to Raymond,” Margareth said angrily. “What about Philip? We must kill him before he speaks out. Guards! Get Philip! Bring him to me. This is the time for him to be judged,” Simon ordered. The guards instantly followed his order. Eric followed the guards. He fought them and killed them one by one. He got the keys and opened the dungeon.
“You must be Philip!?” Eric asked while catching his breath. “Who are you? Where are you taking me?” Philip said with fear. “Don’t worry; I’m here to help you. I’m Prince Eric, King Raymond’s son,” Eric explained. “A Son? King Raymond has a son? Did Queen Catherine give birth again?” Philip asked. “No, my mom’s Queen Margareth,” Eric answered. “Queen Margareth? King Simon’s sister? Well, this must be one of their plans,” Philip whispered to himself. “We have to go back to Leumartheow!” Eric said in a hurry. “Let’s go and pass through here!” Philip said. Together, they went out the castle. “Lancelot!” Eric called his horse, and they rode off to Leumartheow.
“Our king!” the guards shouted. Simon turned around. “Philip has escaped,” said by one of his men. “WHAT!?” Margareth and Simon chorused.
On their way to Leumartheow, Eric was confused. He heard everything about their conversation. He couldn’t believe it. “Simon is my uncle and Kathlyn… the lost princess, is my sister? How could I fell in love with my own flesh? How could this be? Whom am I to choose? My mother, or Leumartheow where my beloved family is?” Eric said to himself in dismay. He was shocked about what was revealed.
“You idiots! Follow him! I think it’s time for me to take revenge for slashing my arm. This would be so sweet killing his beloved daughter. Let’s go!” Simon bolted angrily. With his guards and Margareth, they headed to Leumartheow.
