/ Everyone watches in horror as Isabella threatens the princess
Veronica: Good! Now that I have your attention. Where's the bracelet?
Haruna: Release her and it's for you.
Valerian: We don't have to do it because we came for something else.
/ Valerian approaches Queen Beatrice. Vlad draws his sword and points it at Valerian.
Valerian: Really? Do you think this can kill me?
Vlad Cogred: Take another step if you're curious.
Beatrice: It's okay, Vlad.
/ Vlad looks at the queen then lowers his sword.
Valerian: Where's the watch?
Beatrice: I'll give it to you. But please leave Katharina out of it.
Veronica: Show me the watch and Lady Katharina won't risk anything.
/ The Queen and Veronica leave the Throne Room and go to the Queen's Chamber. The Knights of Skiburg lay down their swords. Valerian turns to look at Chris.
Valerian: We meet again.
Chris: Who are you?
Valerian: I am your worst nightmare, Christopher.
Chris: Do you know who I am?
Valerian: Sure, but don't worry, I won't tell anyone.
/ She whispers the last words. Prince Haruna interrupts you.
Haruna: What are you up to this time?
Valerian: You really don't think I'm going to tell you, do you?
Haruna: Oh, how lovely.
Valerian: Oh, your Highness. You are more fascinating than ever.
Haruna: Stop! Whatever you plan, I'll stop you and you know it.
Valerian: Not this time, believe me.
/ Veronica comes out of the queen's bedroom holding the glowing watch in her hand and approaches Prince Haruna.
Veronica: Now the bracelet, please.
Haruna: Where is the queen?
Veronica: Give me the bracelet and don't waste my time.
Haruna: I see.
/ Vlad Cogred his eyes widen. He screams and picks up his sword.
Vlad: NOOOO!
/ As all knights do the same and run with their weapons towards the two witches. Valerian touches Veronica's hand and a blaze of wind comes between them and the knights stop while watching in horror the blaze fades out and finds that the witches are gone. You take a bow and an arrow. You aim at Isabella but hesitate that is when Prince Haruna takes the bow from you and shoot at Isabella without hesitation. She releases the princess and falls on the ground and dies. Princess Katharina runs and hugs Prince Haruna.
Katharina: You saved me, thank you.
Haruna: It's okay. Let's go see your mom.
/ You watch them run into the queen's bedroom. Before following them, Rose stops you.
Chris: Rose, what's wrong?
Rose: Get everyone out of here.
Chris: What?
Rose: This palace is going to dive.
Chris: What?
Rose: To dive means to collapse
Chris: Wait, are you saying the palace is going to fall?
/ You make a gesture with the sign of the fall.
Rose: Yes, that!
/ You look at the walls but they are not damaged.
Chris: But the palace is intact.
Rose: Would I lie to you?
Chris: No.
Rose: Believe me.
/ She looks sincere. You run after Prince Haruna and find Haruna and Katharina hugging each other. When you get closer, you see Queen Beatrice is laying on the ground without moving. You kneel to check and feel that she is not breathing. You remember that you have to go.
Chris: Prince Haruna! I think we have to leave the palace which is about to collapse.
Haruna: Let's go then.
Chris: What? Was it so easy to convince you?
/ The prince looks at you seriously. And then he takes Katharina's hand and they run. You run behind them. You all run out until ...
Vlad Cogred: Wait. Where is the queen?
/ He looks at Haruna who shakes his head. Then he realizes that the queen is dead. Just then you see the palace suddenly begins to sink.
A little later that night in the woods. Chris, Rose, Aria, Katharina, Vlad, Galvert, Prince Haruna and a few sprayed knights eat in silence.
Galvert: Rest under your palace and in our hearts, you who always help the helpless and bring peace and warmth to everyone. We will never forget Queen Beatrice of Skiburg. Rest in peace Queen Beatrice.
All the knights: REST IN PEACE QUEEN BEATRICE !!!
/ Vlad begins to mumble.
Haruna: Are you okay, Vlad?
Vlad: I will avenge her no matter what !?
Katharina: No, please no. I don't want to lose you too Vlad. Please.
/ Vlad kisses princess Katharina's front head. Rose speaks louder.
Rose: She was a great queen. She brought me up to the palace to raise me and offered me a job there.
Galvert: She accepts me when my village rejects me.
Vlad Cogred: She was the only one to forgive me when the courts signed my death. I made a mistake by attacking the wrong village and killing innocent people. I never forgive myself and I won't, but she forgave me and always reminds me that it was a mistake.
Galvert: She comforts me when my parents die. Even when she knew they were rejecting me, she always reminds me that I wouldn't exist without them.
Chris: She looks like she was a perfect queen.
Aria: She was a queen that any empire would dream of.
/ Everyone begins to move towards their tent. You put Aria aside.
Aria: Something wrong?
Chris: No, yeah ... I mean the queen knew about me.
Aria: What? How?
Chris: She is the one who had a glowing watch. The one that brought me here.
Aria: Wow, now it makes sense why Veronica killed her after she gave her the watch
Chris: Do you think she told the witch about me?
Aria: No, I don't think so. Because you wouldn't be here now. And don't trust the wood by the way.
Chris: What?
Aria: Don't say who you are in the middle of the woods. The witch has a soldier everywhere.
Chris: One more thing.
Aria: Yeah, what's wrong?
Chris: Rose been a little weird these days
Aria: How weird?
Chris: She knew the palace was going to sink.
Aria: What?
Chris: I know. It's weird, and sometimes it's like she knows what I'm thinking. Like when she comes up with the word "dive" for me. How did she know I didn't know that word?
Aria: No, no, repeat what you just said.
Chris: What? That she knew the palace was going to sink
/ Suddenly Aria's face turns into a serious look
Aria: Chris, Veronica casts a spell on Skiburg Palace.
Chris: What do you mean by that?
Aria: The spell could only be seen or felt by a witch.
Chris: I admit I felt a little weird when Veronica left the palace but I'm not a witch... Wait, you mean Rose is a witch?
Aria: Not just any witch. A very powerful one.
/ Aria runs towards the crew and you follow her just behind.
Aria: Rose!! Rose!!
/ Prince Haruna and Princess Katharina come out of their tent.
Haruna: What's wrong? And why are you screaming?
Chris: We are looking for Rose
Vlad: I was on guard and she left about half an hour ago for a walk. Why?
Aria: She's a witch.
Katharina: You must be wrong. I have grown up with her all my life. If she was a witch, don't you think that I would have known?
Haruna: With all due respect Princess, I believe she is.
Katharina: What?
Haruna: She took the bracelet I had.
Katharina: No, no, why. Why is this happening to me?
/ You see that the princess loses consciousness and falls to the ground. You all rush at her.
Vlad: Katharina? Katharina? Please wake up.
Aria: Don't you dare say it, Chris.
The queen of Skiburg is dead and Rose is a witch. Why did Rose save them from the palace? What is the next plan now that they have lost the glow bracelet?
Chapter 17: Royal's pact.
