“The hand starts to change back to white from black and it still emits black smoke.

"What is this light?" Eric

"I do not know." Natalie

"The light is coming from the amulet. Have you heard anything like this?" Eric

"I saw something about this in the journal." Natalie

"What did you read?" Eric

"Each amulet has different magic power and they can be used only by the five bloodlines of the Great Witch followers. This amulet can dispel the poison." Natalie

"Do you know about the power from the others amulets?" Eric

"I do not know. I can not believe that I can use the amulet." Natalie

"Do you know how to use it?" Eric

"I do not know how I can use the amulet to dispel the poison. I used it by accident." Natalie

The light around the hand of Matilda disappears and the hand is back to normal.

"How are you?" Eric

"I am fine. The pain stopped." Matilda

"We should leave from the library because I can not stand this horrible smell." Eric

"You are right." Natalie and Matilda say at the same time and they leave the room.

A tall and sturdy guard is running towards Natalie and he kneels.

"Princess, the Kelkan family has started to move. They gathered their troops inside the mansion." Guard

"Continue to observe them and inform me if something changes." Natalie

"Yes, your highness." Guard

The guard stands and he leaves the mansion.

Inside Kelkan's Mansion

Around the table, they are sitting two people.

"I gave the poison to someone that he works inside the kitchen to put it inside the wine." Servant say to a tall middle-aged man

The tall middle-aged man is Darius Kelkan and he was looking at the servant with sharp eyes.

"Did you tell him another person from the noble families take the blame for the death of the King." Darius

"Yes, I told him. Do not worry Leader." Servant

"I waited for so many years to take the throne and nobody can stop me." Darius whisper.

"You can leave." Darius

The servant stands and leaves the room.

Inside the Royal Palace

They are sitting two people. A tall and domineering figure sits at the head of the table that figure is Kirk Eurilious the King. At his right sits Jimmy the Advisor.

"Did you see any movements from the noble families?" Kirk

"The Kelkan family gathered their troops." Jimmy

"Keep observing them." Kirk

"Yes, your Majesty." Jimmy

"Bring two glasses of wine." Kirk says to his servant.

"Your Majesty." Jimmy

"Jimmy, you know that you are my family. I want to ask you to do me a favor." Kirk

"Your Majesty, I know this. You have taken care of me for many years. You took me from the streets and you raised me. I will do your favor even if I die." Jimmy

"Protect my daughter until some of the noble families disappear from the city." Kirk

"Your Majesty, please do not say something like this." Jimmy

"Please, this is my only wish." Kirk

"Your Majesty, do not worry. I will protect Natalie even if cost my life." Jimmy

"Thank you." Kirk

The door opens and the servant serves the wine and she leaves the room.

"Let's drink." Kirk

Kirk is drinking with Jimmy and he starts to feel dizzy. The glass from his hand falls down, hits the ground and it shatters.

Jimmy look at Kirk with worry and he sees the body of Kirk trembles.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Jimmy

"Your promise." Kirk whispers

"Do not worry your Majesty." Jimmy

"Tell Martin to come here," Jimmy says at the servant.

A sturdy figure opens the door and he sees Jimmy stand over the body of the King.

"What happened here?" Martin

"I think someone poisoned the King." Jimmy

"Who is the b@st@rd that dared to poison the King? If I find him I will execute his family." Martin

"The noble families are behind this. We must investigate all the new personnel from the kitchen." Jimmy

"I will bring more men here and I will put them in Hall." Martin

"You can handle the investigation and the interrogation. I will go to inform the Princess." Jimmy

Inside Natalie's Mansion

"Natalie something bad happened." Jimmy

"What happened?" Natalie

"Your father was poisoned." Jimmy

All people are stunned by the information.

"Kelkan family." Natalie

"How do you know this?" Jimmy

"It's the only family that they gathered the troops. They want to put the blame to the other noble families. Start to interrogate the new people in the kitchen that made the drinks. Also, start to interrogate the new people that they came to work in the kitchen with a recommendation and search who speak with someone from the Kelkan family." Natalie

"I will let Martin handle it." Jimmy

"We must move fast and you must not let the news leak about the King." Natalie

"Yes, your Highness." Jimmy leaves the mansion.

"Let's go to the Royal Palace and you can try to detoxify the poison with the amulet." Eric

Inside the Royal Palace

Eric looks around the magnificent building and the decoration is well designed.

"Follow me." Jimmy

"Is my father in his bedroom?" Natalie

"Yes, her highness." Jimmy

"Have you found the culprit?" Eric

"No." Jimmy

"Can you help them?" Natalie

"Yes, I can."

Eric goes towards Natalie and he whispers in her ear.

"Try to find a way to activate the amulet." Eric

Natalie nods and she goes with Matilda in the King's bedroom.

"Follow me." Jimmy

Eric arrives in the Hall with Jimmy and he looks at the people that they are sitting on the ground.

"Tell your men to surround these people." Eric

"What will you do?" Jimmy

"I will try to bait the culprit. We will tell these people that the Kelkan family and Modano family abducted innocent people and they killed them for fun." Eric

"Ok, I will follow your decision." Jimmy

Jimmy goes near Martin and he whispers to him.

"Surround these people." Jimmy

The guards move around the personnel.

"Who is in contact with the Kelkan family?" Eric

All the people look Eric with confusion.

"Kelkan and Modano family abducted and they killed so many innocent people. Whoever is in contact with these families come forward. Do not worry, we will not kill you. We need some information about them." Eric

Eric looks at the expression of the people and he observes them.

"You, the fat middle-aged man come forward." Eric

The middle-aged man comes forward and he looks Eric.

"When did you meet someone from the Kelkan family?" Eric

"I met someone and he gave something to put in the wine of the King. He said it was a potion that it can help the King to become healthy." Servant

All the people in the room shocked and Jimmy is angry with the action of the servant. He goes towards the servant with a murderous look.

"How dare you b@st@rd? I will kill you." Jimmy

"This lowly servant does not dare. I will accept the punishment. Please let my family out of this." Servant kneels and begs Jimmy and Eric

"Calm down Jimmy. We know now who is behind the incident and we can punish them." Eric

"You are right. I will gather my men and I will eliminate the Kelkan family." Jimmy

"Martin send the order to gather the troops outside to crusade against the Kelkan family." Jimmy

"I will send the order." Martin

"We must gather the soldiers fast to catch them by surprise and you send someone to observe their movements." Jimmy

"I will go to Natalie." Eric says and leaves.

Inside King's bedroom

"Why I can not activate the amulet?" Natalie

"Natalie calm down. How did you activate the amulet when you cured me?" Matilda

Natalie starts to ponder how she activated the amulet. She hears a sound and it disrupts her thought.

"Have you found a solution?" Eric

"Not yet. She did not know how to activate the amulet." Matilda

"Maybe for the amulet to activate you must make a connection with it." Eric

The women look Eric with a puzzled expression.

"Try to create a link to communicate with the amulet through your thoughts." Eric

Natalie starts to send her thoughts to the amulet but her effort was pointless.

"I can not create the connection." Natalie

"Try to use the power of the witch." Eric

Natalie activates her power and she starts to send her thoughts to the amulet. The amulet starts to emit light.

Eric sees around Natalie created a powerful field.

"Control the light and send it to your father." Eric

Natalie follows the order of Eric and engulfs her father with the light.

Black smoke rises from the body of the King. Natalie sees the smoke and she becomes excited.

"Do not lose focus." Eric

Eric saw Natalie relax and he warns her. Natalie understands the reason and she becomes serious again.

After 5 minutes of treatment, the smoke does not rise from the body of the King. Eric sees Natalie that she is covered with sweat and he goes to check the King.

"You can relax now. The poison is removed." Eric

Natalie looks at the King and she stops the treatment. The light disappears and the amulet turns back to normal.

"If your father asks how did you treat him?" Eric

"We will tell him that we gave him the altitude." Natalie

"We must leave the room and let your father rest." Eric

Natalie and Matilda nod and they leave the room.

Outside the Royal Palace

Natalie sees the soldiers that they gathered outside the gate.

"Why are the troops here?" Natalie

"We will attack the Kelkan family." Jimmy

"Kill them all." Natalie

"Yes, your Highness." Jimmy

"I will go with you in this attack. Natalie and Matilda will stay here to observe the King." Eric

Both women nods and they go inside the mansion.

"Let's leave." Jimmy

Inside King's bedroom

"You were obedient in front of Eric." Matilda

Natalie blushes and she stutters.

"Do not say nonsense." Natalie

"My little girl is in love." Matilda

Outside Kelkan's Mansion

"Kill them all." Jimmy

"Kill." The troops roar and they start to attack.

An angry voice echo in the area.

"Who is the b@st@rd that attack my family?" Darius

"Darius you must pay for your vile deeds." Jimmy

"Jimmy brought his most powerful soldiers here." Eric thought as he looks at the battle.

"You must die." Jimmy says at Darius

Jimmy starts to attack Darius with his sword.

"Your swordsmanship is still terrible." Jimmy

"Die." Darius

The swords clash and the battle become more intense. Darius takes out a dagger and throws it at Jimmy. Jimmy avoids the dagger and he sees Darius comes towards him. Darius tackles Jimmy and Darius throws Jimmy on the ground.

Eric sees Jimmy on the ground and runs to help him.

"You are finished." Darius and he attacks Jimmy.

Darius hears a sound and stops his action. He sees an object comes towards him.

Jimmy sees his opponents distracted and he takes his sword. He attacks, stabs him and drags the sword to the right. He lets his hand from the sword. Jimmy stands and holds the sword and pulls it out. Jimmy points the sword to the sky and he slashes with power down towards the head of Darius. The blood from the neck of Darius splash on the ground and his head rotate on the air and drops down.

"What did you throw at him?" Jimmy

"A rock." Eric

"I am lucky that you are with me." Jimmy

"Let's go." Jimmy

Martin comes towards Jimmy and he reports about the battle.

"From the 400 soldiers, we have lost 4 soldiers and 15 wounded." Martin

"Let the soldiers go back and relax. Martin comes with me to see his Majesty." Jimmy

Inside the Royal Palace

The king wakes up and he looks around. He looks at his daughter with love.

"What happened to me?" Kirk

"The Kelkan family try to kill you with poison." Natalie

"We must kill them." Kirk

"Do not worry father, Martin and Jimmy went to kill them." Natalie

Matilda opens the door and she comes inside to inform them

"Your Majesty, Martin, Jimmy and Eric return to the mansion." Matilda

"Bring them here." Kirk

Three people come inside and two of these people kneel in front of the King. The King looks at the young man.

"Who are you young man?" Kirk

"Eric." Eric

"Father, Eric is my friend." Natalie

"First time my daughter bring a male friend home." Kirk

"Father. Do not talk nonsense." Natalie blushes.

Kirk looks at his daughter and he does not continue teasing her. He looks at Jimmy and Martin.

"Did you eradicate them?" Kirk

"Yes, your Majesty." Jimmy and Martin say at the same time.

"Thank you." Kirk

"We must search their mansion." Eric

"Jimmy and Martin can handle it." Kirk

Both men nod and leave the room.

"How do you know the Kelkan family poison me?" Kirk

"I have someone to observe them." Natalie

"I should leave." Eric

"No, stay here to have dinner with us." Kirk

"Tell someone to send invitations to the noble families. I invite them here to discuss and bait them." Kirk says to the guard

"Let's go eat." Kirk

Around the table sits three people. On the table has food and drinks. These people are eating and drinking.

"Do you find my daughter beautiful?" Kirk

"Yes, she is." Eric

"Father, stop talking nonsense." Natalie blushes and she lowers her head.

"Fine, I will stop talking." Kirk

"I will go to bed. I am too tired today." Kirk

The King leaves the room.

"Eric, you can sleep here." Natalie

"Thank you." Eric

Natalie takes Eric to show him the room.

All the noble families received the invitation from the King. Some families are nervous and afraid by the action of the King.
