Just like Eight had predicted more men come out of their hiding and a new fight began. In between the fight, Eight kept looking at the men fighting with the prince. He could not remember seeing the prince fight with the same person for such a long time. The prince was always very fast and it was difficult to keep up with his pace.

Soon the few men joined they foght from the enemies were dead. Eight expected more men but nothing happened. The prince was still fighting the men that attacked him.

Eight wanted to go and help the prince but he stood back remembering the prince did not like such gesture. If it were another day Eight would have been confident of the prince's victory but he felt scared today. The men had managed to injure the prince so his fear was expected.

Eight gathered the remaining men together and decided to count. The battle between the prince and the men did not look like what would end soon. After counting, there were only a hundred and fifty-seven men were fit. The other forty were injured and some may die before they could get into samor. He commands them to pick the Embemy of the falling soldiers of Avalo, this "would be all that would be returned to the wives and family of the soldiers since they could not be carried back to Avalo royal city.

Meanwhile, Sebastian continued to fight against his two strong opponents. The men were fast and he could feel himself getting weaker as they continue to fight. He knew this was because of the stab. He had noticed that the dagger was laced with something poisonous but he could not think of the poison so strong that it affected him.

The effect of the poison slowed down his movement. And since he used a spell to stop the poison from spreading through his body he could do not use any other trick, so the fighting continued for several hours. He knew he could just let the dark side completely talk over so he could kill them but his Mum had advice against letting the beast take over too often if he wanted to stay human. so he continued to fight and learned the men's moves.

Since the fight had lasted for several hours the prince learned the formation of the two men and used it to trap them. Killed both together but one managed to stab him on his right leg before he fell to the ground.

Sebastian turned around and was ready to meet his men. He was surprised to see the other faces. The other members of the twenty already arrived at the scene and just like Eight they watched as the prince fight his opponent.

Prince Sebastian caught sighted of a familiar figure. his sunshine riding towards him. He did not believe his eyes. He thought he was only imagining her. He took a few steps and his view become burry. For some reason, he could not feel his right leg. It felt as though it was rooted to the ground

Sebastian did not understand what was happening to him. He tried to say something to himself but he fell on his face when he tried to lift his right leg. This was the sight that welcomed Ellen and Jeffery.

They were not close enough to have seen the man stab the prince but seeing him fall naturally made them panic. Ellen increased her speed and so did Jeffrey. The other men that arrived before them all race towards the prince.

When princess Ellen got to the prince he was surrounded by his men. No one knew what to do. They were all afraid. The prince has never been in a situation like this and so they were all scared of touching him.

"Move," Jeffrey commanded when he finally got to the prince. A part was immediately created for him but Jeffery did not take a step instead he looked at Ellen who quietly got the hint and walked towards the prince. Her heart was beating so fast looking at the state of the prince scared her. She hoped she would be able to help him.

She bent down and looked at the leading wound on his back. Because the prince fell to his face Ellen did not notice the stable on his leg.

She moved into action and try to stop the bleeding. There was no time to clean the injured first. With the help of jeffrey Ellen had a piece of cloth tied around his stomach.

She was about to instruct them to carry him to the camp where she could clean the wound and treat it properly when her eyes fell on the black blood dripping off his right leg.

Ellen felt her stop as she reached out to touch the exposed part of his skin. Jeffery has been watching Ellen closely so he noticed the change in her facial expressions so he naturally followed her eyes and he soon he saw the stab on his leg.

Ellen froze when she felt his right leg, it had turned cold like ice in winter. There was only one possible cause of this reaction. The dragged was laced with the venom of a snake.

The particular snake was not common among the twelve kingdoms she was only able to find about this because of her time in the camp of the injured.

The head physician as of that time had traveled and he has crossed the great sea as a young lad with his father. It was on this trip that he encounters the black snake.

Princess Ellen immediately used a knife to expose his skin. She needed to the from spreading all over his body. Most especially the venom must not get to his heart. She touched his lap and was she was surprised to notice that the poison was spreading at fast as the physician back at Bozoa had told her it would.

She had never seen the poison at work before and she was only imagining how it should spread. Maybe I am, m wrong," Ellen thought to herself but she acted just as the physician had explained.

Taking a clean piece of cloth from her not she tied it firmly around his right lap

Jeffrey who had been watching her bend down. He was about to touch the prince's leg when he felt a tiny hand stop him.

"We needed to take him back to the camp. The dagger is laced with the venom of a Snake," Ellen said..
