"I have been expecting yah lass." Says king Haggas.

"Sorry to keep yah waiting uncle. I had some business to take care of." Says Olivia.

"Tell me, how is me sister doing?" Asks the king.

"Running mad if I dare say." She replies.

"Tell me something I don't know. That lass has been running mad for ages I wonder how yah father survived her." Says the king laughing heartily.

Olivia looks around at her people living freely inside a different kingdom and says, "I would like to thank yah for taking in my people."

"Oh don't worry yah head about that, yah people are me people too lass. I am more than happy to take them off yah hands for a while." Says the king with a grin on his face.

"I need a favour from yah uncle." She says

"Go on." He says.

"I need yah army to take back my kingdom." She says looking at him nervously.

First he puts on a thinking face then a smile and says, "Well, I thought yah wouldn't ask. Take it."

She gets so happy that she hugs him and the soldiers get curious. The king motions for them to stand down and they obey after all, besides being a fierce soldier he was a very warm and kind ruler.

They later go to meet with the generals in order to make their plans with Olivia. This had been the day that she had waited for ever since she started planning for her freedom.

After making the necessary arrangements,  she gets on her horse and rides away back to the black castle to wait for that very day that they are to take back her kingdom from her mother.

Meanwhile...

Gerald is over at the queen's caslte talking to Hayley.

"Listen to me Hayley, something big is coming and I don't want you to be here when it arrives." Says Gerald.

"Well whatever it is let it come." She says.

"No, you have to leave for your husband's kingdom right this instant. Don't be stubborn." He says.

"I will not leave mother behind!" Says Hayley.

"Then you leave me no other choice." Says Gerald. And with that he picks her up and carries her forcefully to his carriage and they drive away to send Hayley to her husband.

He then sends word to Olivia that he has done his part and now it was her turn to complete the rest.
