King Hemrod is now resting on his bed and he dream Queen Vogne.

-dream-

he heard a familiar voice humming a song then he followed it.

"Vogne?" he asked.

"Hemrod, come, come with me" she held her hands to him.

he observed his surroundings and he saw the grass was healthy green and the fireflies flying around them.

"Where's Flaire?" he asked in troubled.

she didn't answer his question but she only frowned.

"I need to see her. Why she's not with you?" he said in a crying tone.

"I'm afraid to tell. but all I know she's safe you don't have to worry. you have only few hours left, and I'll be here waiting for you"

then he wakes up.

"Where am I?" said King Hemrod.

"The important is you're now safe, my lord" said the chief nurse

"Vonge! Vogne!" he can't calmed his self.

"Urrrggh!" he shouted in pain and he lost his strength.

"Calm down my lord! your wounds is not completely healed " said the Chief Nurse.

"I need to see my daughter and my wife!" he pleaded the chief nurse. but she didn't knew who's her wife is

"I never heard you have a wife" she mumbled.

"go away, you lady!" the guard warned her.

"please this an emergency, the king shall must know about this. please let me in!” she forced herself to enter.

"you're not invited and you're not came in blue-blood! step away!"

"I heard something who screamed my name and it was a woman!" King Hemrod thought.

“My lord, King Hemrod! I have your daughter! her name is Flaire!" she still insist herself to enter.

"My daughter, Flaire! Open the gate and let the woman in” he ordered his knight.

and the woman went inside the gate and the guards escorted her to enter the castle. as when they reach the King's Room, he ordered everyone "Leave us alone first" and everybody did.

"Let me see her" then the widow gave the baby to him. "I'm sorry about your wife" the widow bowed down.

the king was surprised "you me.. mean Vo.. Vogne? no, no it can't be" he cried and felt sorry for himself.

"but your wife last word's I shall raised your daughter as my child. but when she says the word ,'Delvonia' I was thinking she was belong to you. so, maybe I shouldn't raised her because she still have you" the widow said.

"no, keep her. raised her very well. promise me she will become good. my time keeps fading." he smiled.

King Hemrod's cousin went to the Delvonia to see if he is okay.

"I'm sorry, the king said he need to be alone first he had some private discussion" said the guard to the Royal Cousin.

but the Princess didn't obey. the Princess rushed to stairs and went to the King's room and  bang open the door.

"Uncle!" she shouted.

"Princess Eufrocina!" the king smiled at her.

" what happened to you uncle?..." she said and she looked up and down to the widow.

"...and who is this?" she looked at her in a judgmental way.

"Lady Gerda" she smiled and she offer her hand but princess Eufrocina refuse it.

"is that your daughter? her eyes color is purple, eeew! freak!" she stepped back away to Lady Gerda.

"Cina! that's not the way to treat your cousin like that. she' my daughter." king Hemrod said.

Eufrocina stared mad to the baby.

"She's not my cousin! and I don't have a freak cousin!" she shouted.

"What happen up there?" Eufrocina's asked the guard.

"I'm sorry, I have to go to my daughter" he said.

"What happened?" he asked them.

"King Hemrod said I have a new freak cousin" she cried.

"Eufrocina stop it!" her mom told her.

"Eufrocina, please leave this room first" said his father and her mother escorted Eufrocina to leave the room.

"I can't live any longer Evad, and I can't rule anymore this kingdom."

"what do you mean? I'm the one who will rule your kingdom? what about my kingdom?" he asked.

" then who? I have no royal siblings. *cough * *cough*"

"your daughter of course!"

"she still young"

"then my queen will rule first and when your daughter turns 12 she will stay here in your kingdom as their princess"

"*cough* *cough* *cough*" the king lost his strength and then he died.
