Two men jumped from the trees. One approached the cave where Charles' parents and some servants were sheltered. The servants tried to protect the emeritus king and queen, who struggled to leave the cave to join their son lying outside. The other attacker walked through the injured men. He stopped nearby Charles and was about to unveil the young king's yellow cape, which curiously had no signs of blood.

'You should have informed me,' lamented Charles.
'Your majesty, please, go away with the queen and the prince. This kingdom doesn't deserve you...', asked Andrew.
'But Andrew...'
'Promise me you will go away", shuddered Andrew, 'Please, leave me here... let me take your place to spare your life...'
