"I cannot deny that I am to steal the necklace of Mala and not for this proceedings." The impostor Oisin said.

The Regents were enraged by the admission of the impostor High General of the Forest clan.

"That disgraceful!" Someone shouted in the audience.

"He should be put to death!" Another one yelled.

"SILENCE!" The prince of the Aeolian clan said. "Please I ask everyone to remain calm and be objective. Let us first hear what the High General of the Forest clan has to say."

"What I say is all true. I have nothing to do with the disappearance of Prince Helios. In fact, whether both kings admit it or not, their sons runaway from them to be together." The impostor Oisin said. "Prince Helios and Prince North are lovers. Everyone in this room knows that. And, everyone knows how both their fathers oppose their relationship. So, what can you expect from the young lovers?"

Both King Nike and King L'Nykt remained silent and held their head down.

"Why then did you attempted to steal the necklace of Mala? Don't you know how impossible to escape from here? Don't you know that punishment for such crime is death?"

"Your High Council," The impostor began to say. "How can I not attempt it? I am being accused for the disappearance of Prince Helios. For such act, death is also the punishment not only from the Phoenix clan but to the Vatr clan as well. I had no choice. I had to protect myself. And, the necklace of the Mala can give me that power to save myself."

Everyone in the room took pitied on the impostor.

"I have question to both kings," Prince Luca said. "Do you think that there is a possibility that your sons may have runaway together? I am not a parent. But I raised my cousin, his Majesty Henry since he was a child after his father died. All I am saying is if there is any possibility that this is all but a huge misunderstanding. Please remember that if this case is not amicably resolved, millions of lives may be affected."

It was the king of the Phoenix who first replied.

"I apologize to the court and to the king of the Vatr clan. I do acknowledge this may have been a big misunderstand."

"I am sorry as well, King Nike."

The two kings, then, shook hands.

"Does this mean the king of the Phoenix drops the case against the prince the Vatr clan?"

"Yes." King Nike replied. "I will also send the message for my troops retreat."

"Thank you, King Nike." King L'Nykt said.
