So everyone must be confused about what just happened. How was Dan alive even though he got stabbed in the heart?! What’s with Salvian suddenly arriving to arrest Tarand?! Why is Carly with Salvian?!

Let’s rewind back 6 days ago and know the real setup now,

After Dan and Carly had a little cute conversation, Dan met a certain someone waiting for him in front of his door.

“Oh hey Valerie, what are you doing here?”

Dan asked Valerie.

“Were you the one who killed my father? Is it really true?”

Valerie asked Dan.

“Who told you that?”

Dan asked Valerie.

“It was this old man from the church who contacted me and said things to me about how my father was brutally murdered by you. So I thought, let’s talk to you.”

Valerie said.

“Valerie, let’s talk.”

Dan explained the whole event that happened in Carliva to Valerie.

“I am really sorry that my father caused so many deaths and so much trouble for you, Sir Dan.”

Valerie bowed to Dan over and over again.

“No, no, it’s totally fine.”

Dan said with a nervous smile.

“There is one thing I want you to do for me though.”

Dan said.

“What’s that?”

Valerie asked Dan.

“I want you to keep on contacting the church guy that called you and stay away from me. You see this way, we might be able to help out The Little Princess.”

Dan said.

“I see, you want me to infiltrate their ranks.”

Valerie said.

“If that’s how it is then shouldn’t I help her?”

There was Carly as well who heard Dan and Valerie’s conversation.

“No Carly, I want you on a different task.”

5 days remain.

“What?! You want us to prepare the bottle of Holy Freezing Flames by ourselves?!”

Both Sasha and Horrell looked confused.

“That’s right, I will be preparing an arrow that can negate any kind of flame. It’s a special type of arrow that needs Luminous, a rare mineral that can only be found in Carliva.”

Dan said to them.

“I see, you are asking them to practice alchemy while you prepare the real thing, right?”

King Nakai asked Dan.

“That’s right! You and I actually.”

Dan smiled.

“Ah shit...Not me too.”

“You too.”

“Shit...”

“I guess we can do that.”

Horrell looked sad.

4 days remain.

“Why did you want to meet at the execution ground?”

Salvian questioned Carly and Jack who was in front of the fountain.

“Come to Verdania Forest with us.”

Carly said to Salvian.

They made their way there without Jack. The reason Carly didn’t take Jack with her is because he is a loudmouth and could expose their plan.

Valerie met up with Salvian and showed him certain photos of experiments on children. Not only that, but she also showed Salvian that the flames that are going to be used in the ritual are not the correct flames. In fact, the flames will raise some kind of devil that no one has heard about according to Tarand’s notebook which Valerie robbed from the Church of Fracia.

“I will show this quickly to the King and get the arrest order!”

Salvian looked happy.

“I hope you do.”

Carly smiled.

3 days remain,

“This is the perfect place to shoot an arrow from, right?”

Luke asked Sven as they stand at the edge of the forest. The whole Kingdom is visible but it’s in far distant.

Sven tried to pull an arrow and look at the distance with his eyesight.

“Yeah, this will do.”

Sven said

“Good then, let’s get going and tell Sir Dan about it!”

Luke smiled.

Sven nodded.

2 days remain,

“My daughter...She can be saved. Contact The Third Commander! Tell him that we will need him!”

The King contacted the Third Commander.

1 day remain,

“We finally found the mineral! We need to make our way back to Carliva and then take a bus, right?”

Izumi smiled and Elena looked at the bus stop which said that no buses till tomorrow.

“I think we have to run to Mister Handsome’s place Izu-chi...”

Elena said.

“Eh?”

They ran to Dan’s place.

About 10 minutes left for the sacrifice,

“Is this the antidote to that poison of his?”

Sven injected an injection in Dan’s veins.

Dan took a huge gasp and woke up with two people around him. One was Sven and the other one was his father.

“Interesting, so your heart isn’t where one’s normal heart would be but rather a little more left to it, that’s the reason why you told your student to stab you there, didn’t you?”

Mister Rightman asked Dan.

“And you are?”

Dan asked Mister Rightman.

“My name is Line Rightman. I am Sven’s father. Prince Dan ThunderField or should I call you by that name of yours?”

Mister Rightman answered Dan.

“It seems you know a lot about me.”

Dan said.

“I do, I mean I have researched a lot about District 9’s massacre.”

Mister Rightman said.

Both Dan and Mister Rightman stared at each other.

“I don’t know what you two are talking about but we only have 4 minutes left.”

Sven said.

“I see, so can you two lift me to the edge of the forest.”

Dan said.

“Eh?!”

“You see, I can’t move because of the antidote, it paralysis one’s body for about 10 to 15 minutes.”

Dan explained.

“Why take a poison that can stop your heart but keep your whole body alive?!”

Sven looked confused as he picked up Dan on his shoulder. Mister Rightman held him from the other side.

“My kid’s right, you know. That’s like suicide.”

Mister Rightman says.

“I know but it had to be a realistic death, you know. Otherwise, we wouldn't have enough time for the backup to arrive who were at Tarand's very own experiment church chamber.”

Dan said.

A minute before the reinforcement arrived.

At the edge of Verdania Forest, “Sven, give me a bow.” Dan said.

Sven created a bow and gave it to Dan.

“Sven catch me from behind and make my body lean a bit.”

Dan said.

“Understood!”

Sven makes Dan’s body lean towards him by a bit.

“Angle created!”

Dan takes aim with his eyesight.

“Direction of wind is towards East, so a little to the left.”

Dan took one big breath.

“Sven pull the bow for me!”

Dan said to Sven.

“Understood!”

Sven pulled the bow down with Dan.

“Isn’t this a little too long? If the angle, the direction of the wind, aim, anything is even a minute distance away, it will be a disaster. Why take such a place which is so much away from everything else?”

Mister Rightman asked Dan.

“That’s because, if I choose a place from within the Kingdom, I would have been sensed. Here in Verdania Forest, you can’t sense anyone’s mana. That’s the very reason I decided to come to this place.”

Dan said with a smirk.

“Sven when the wind starts to blow, I will tell you to leave the bow. Do it with me.”

Dan commanded Sven.

“Understood!”

Sven said as he took aim.

A wind blew, “Not yet.” The wind got stronger, “Not yet.” The wind got even stronger, “Stay still.” The wind slowed down a bit but was still strong, “NOWWW!!!!!!!”

*Spring*

The arrow left and that’s the arrow that hit Kaileen’s stake.

XXXXXX

“Haha, haha, hahahahahaha!!!!!”

Mister Rightman seems to be going crazy.

“I can see why he chose you. I can see that very clearly. I can see my King that why you chose this boy. He is indeed a very interesting child!”

Mister Rightman is blabbering something. I don’t understand it nor does Sven.

I don’t know what’s wrong with him but...I am glad that I saved The Little Princess. Now it’s all up to Carly and the others.

I fall to the ground still with this paralyzed body.
