Then Jack walked in, "King David no, wait.  Prince Theodore has nothing to do with this. She ran away because she feels she too young to get married and also she wants to explore the sea, but that's not what's important this minute.  You can't in prison the prince." Jack plead to the king with a concerned stare.

"Wait what are you saying?  Princess Athena ran away because of me?" asked the prince for this made him quite sad.  "Sorry dude, that's the truth that I know," Jack replied

"Release him and back away.  Sorry, but I very afraid for my daughter right now.  I'm confused, can't understand why she doesn't follow the rules.  You know she's always been different, in a good and bad way.  All I can ask is for you to forgive me for my mistake." replied King David as he puts down his head.

"Don't worry King David.  You apologize is accepted.  But may I asked that you let me go find your daughter and bring her back?" Prince Theodore asked.   "Would you do that for me?  After how I've behaved, I pay you what every your heart wishes. Bring her back, before she gets hurt.  She has no clue of the terrors of the sea.  Please, Prince Theodore, bring my daughter back to me." King David replied with his eyes watery.  He was worried and concern, so he had to plead.

"King David, this is my promise to you, I'll go find you, daughter, then return her to you.  Where should I start looking does anyone know? I bit of help, will get me further you know.  Then Jack remembers, the way her birds act.  Creeping loudly, asking for attention.  

"Prince Theodore, I think I can help.  But you might find this dumb but you must believe it somehow.  Princess Athena feeds many birds, by her bedroom window each day, they really love her.  When I stepped into her bedroom, there were only two.  They are three birds missing, for now, there are only two.  I believe the other three left with the princess.  So maybe the two birds that are left can show you the way, or where the princess went." suggested Jack

"I try anything. Where can I find these birds?" asked Prince Theodore as he approached Jack. "Follow me," Jack replied as he walked towards the princess' bedroom.  "What nonsense is this boy talking about.  Birds?  Birds don't talk and won't be able to find my daughter if she doesn't want to be found." said King David.

Then Tatura walked over to him, "Your majesty, please you must stay calm.  They will bring your daughter back.  Here has a bit of wine to calm your nerves." she said as she pours him a glass.  "Jack, you're going with him.  Make sure you find the princess," she yelled.   "Man, while me? I do it, but if anything happens to me, it's all your fault." Jack replied as they disappeared into the castle hallway.

'Jack opened the bedroom door.   "There you see.  They're still sitting by the window waiting. Maybe if we talk to them, they might understand.  I overheard the princess speak to them all the time." explained Jack

"It won't hurt to try," replied Prince Theodore as he walked towards the window slowly not to startle the two colorful birds. 

Tatura places a special spice that quickly calmed the king down.  Within minutes of drinking the wine, he was fast asleep.
