Saga Of The Celestial Warriors

THE JOURNEY COMES TO AN END

The Octopus Brigade had noticed the turbulence near the northwestern island and, after the flash of Hilbert's attack, they decided to ignore Napoleon's orders and went to that place to further investigate the situation. There they find the prince and the survivors of the sinister clash wounded. The brigadiers give them healing potions and accommodate them on a ship. They returned to the port, but no words were said by the companions that fought the dark lord, only later Hilbert started to explain the situation to his peer. Hilbert thanked the brigadiers who bowed to the prince and princess.

"Trevor! In that place there is still a body on the bottom of the sea! I ask you to look around and take him to Whitecastle. It is an elf." Hilbert said wistfully and the brigadiers respond affirmatively.

"I will try my best Hilbert! I'm sorry for all of this... I wish I were there for you." Trevor bows and Hilbert nods.

"Worry not, Trevor! Nothing could change the outcome of our battle." Says Hilbert.

After the survivors arrived at the port everyone announced their intentions. Hilbert was getting ready to meet his mother as soon as he checked that everyone was fine. Gödel would report the incidents to Kayleigh. Timo returned to his home and met his bride, as Hilbert had released him from his duties as long as the young man deemed necessary. Matilda reported her entire journey to her brothers. Charlotte was returning to her small room in the castle and was resting and talking to Hilda.

Marjorie follows Hilbert with determination. Upon entering the throne room, they managed to find the Queen being informed of the situation to the north. Several soldiers and people in important positions were in the throne room plotting some emergency plans. Queen Helena asks everyone to leave as she sees her children walking by. Only the royal family and Jørgen Ir were in that room. Jørgen Ir was very happy to see Hilbert and Marjorie well, despite having suffered a lot of apparent damage. The Queen was impressed by the messy looks of her children.

"What happened to you? It looks like you both came straight out of a war zone! I didn't expect your return so quickly! They just told me Southstar had been attacked and the islands to the north were attacked by a mysterious enemy. We are looking into what happened." says Queen Helena with suspicious looks.

Hilbert was beginning to tell his mother the whole story. Gradually the Queen was amazed and surprised by what she heard. After hearing the whole story, the Queen was silent.

"I am sorry for lying, mom! I thought I would not have your support." says Hilbert looking at his mother with determination.

"You wouldn't have! That's right, Hilbert! But since you both are alive, I'm just going to ground you for a while and expel you from your brigade command as a punishment for your actions." says the Queen coldly. Marjorie is irritated by the comment and begins to speak in a serious, but angry tone.

"Punishment!? We ended one of the greatest threats to our world peace, faced death and we lost many valuable friends, and you punish my brother in this selfish way. We are no longer kids to be grounded, mother! I am going to leave for Southstar, there I felt at home as I had never felt here, stuck to your whims. If you don't reconsider what you just said, I will ask Bruce to withdraw the pact of union between our kingdoms which he will surely do, because he is an honest king who does not want to marry me if I do not truly love him! What do you think about that mom? Can't you look at the situation again with less selfishness? Can't you see how selfish I was with my response to your egoistic decision?" Marjorie tried to calm down.

Queen Helena looked at her daughter a little astonished by her daughter's reaction and words. Hilbert had realized at that moment that Marjorie had changed. A brief silence filled the room and the Queen spoke again.
