The princes, the princesses, Hawk, Lilia, Ryn, and Benjamin suddenly appeared outside the wild forest, their bodies emerging from the darkness of the forest and landing on the ground just beyond its borders.They had escaped.However, before anyone could even process that they were finally out of the wild forest, Redrick suddenly collapsed.His body struck the ground heavily, and he immediately became unconscious.Camelia was the first to react: “Redrick!”The princes, the princesses, Hawk, Ryn, Lilia, and Benjamin rushed toward him in alarm. Their expressions changed instantly as they saw Redrick lying motionless on the ground.But Esther, Noah, and Ramsay remained where they were. They had not yet realized what had happened.The three of them were still unconscious, standing in the same position they had been in before they emerged from the forest.Camelia dropped to her knees beside Redrick. Her eyes immediately fell upon the sword protruding from his back. She carefully grabbed the

The strange people who had emerged from the wall of the cave looked completely human.They wore clothing made entirely from leaves, and each of them had different patterns of paint covering their faces.Their appearances were unfamiliar, almost primitive compared to the people the princes, princesses, and others were accustomed to seeing.Each of them carried a spear made from wood. They stood together silently, watching the group.---The princes, the princesses, Hawk, Lilia, Benjamin, and Ryn were immediately shocked and frightened by their sudden appearance.Nobody knew how these people had come through the solid wall.The group quickly moved toward their weapons.Just as they reached for them, the leader of the strange people raised his voice and spoke in the ancient language.He said, “We are not here to harm you, but to help.”The princes, the princesses, Hawk, and Lilia had already begun drawing their weapons. Tracy was even preparing to fix an arrow onto her golden bow.However

Ever since Marcelos, Philip, and their armies had left the Wild Forest, the Marcs had suddenly lost their connection with Mike. No matter how hard they tried, they could no longer locate him.Marcelos could not understand how they had suddenly lost the connection. He wondered if the princes, the princesses, Hawk, Lilia, Ryn, and Benjamin had somehow found a way to close the cut on Mike’s chest—the very wound Marcelos believed was impossible to close.But Marcelos, Philip, and their armies refused to stop searching.They continued scouring the surrounding areas for the princes, the princesses, Lilia, Ryn, Benjamin, and Hawk, hoping that the connection to Mike would somehow return. Marcelos remained determined to find them. They had to be found. And they had to be killed.----Meanwhile, while the dark magic inside Redrick was slowly being transferred to Esther and healed within her body, the princes, the princesses, Hawk, Benjamin, Lilia, and Ryn had begun enjoying their stay in the st

Marcelos, Philip, and their armies were already very close to the strange people's village. Yet despite being so close, they could not find it.The village remained completely invisible, hidden from the outside world by the powerful magic surrounding it. At the same time, the Marcs had lost their connection to Mike's wound, making it impossible for them to locate him.Still, Marcelos refused to give up. His armies continued searching through the surrounding area for the princes, the princesses, Hawk, Lilia, Benjamin, and Ryn.Then everything suddenly changed.The moment Esther broke the magic that had been keeping the strange people's village invisible, the connection the Marcs had to Mike's wound immediately returned.They could sense him again. They could locate him.Marcelos instantly realized that whatever had been hiding Mike and the village was no longer protecting them.He gave his order without hesitation, “Kill the princes, the princesses, Lilia, Ryn, Benjamin, and Hawk on si

The Marcs and the phoenixes in Axrax suddenly screamed in agony. Their cries echoed across the kingdom before, one after another, they vanished without a trace.Their disappearance left Marcelos’ armies in Axrax without their leader—the Marcs and phoenixes who had always watched over the forces.---With no other choice, Zussorader took command of the armies.Despite his growing concern for Marcelos, he led the soldiers into battle and managed to secure victory without the Marcs or phoenixes. The battle was merciless. Zussorader ordered the soldiers to leave no survivors, and every person living in the town was killed.When the fighting finally ended, Zussorader ordered the town to be burned to the ground.Flames consumed the buildings as smoke rose into the sky, but Zussorader barely paid attention to the destruction around him. His thoughts were already somewhere else: Marcelos.Something had happened. He could feel it.After the battle, Zussorader ordered Marcelos’ armies to make
