They all walked towards the invisible prison. When they reached the edge of the dome, all the soldiers touched each other's shoulders and one of them touched the king's shoulder and so they entered the place.
"Don't be turned into anything", said the princess to James, who smiled.
They held hands. Agatha called Emily and Lilian and they both touched the princess. The prince drew his sword again and, although he still felt some pain, held it steady. Then the group walked in behind the army.
They started to head toward Mirian's house.
"Come with me, Lilian", ordered the king. "I am happy that Emily is alive and that you are reunited with her", he said as Lilian approached.
Lilian smiled and looked at her daughter's direction.
"I think I should ask your forgiveness", said the king to the astonishment of the woman who could not say anything. He continued:
"If I hadn't called you to come with me that day, this wouldn't have happened. And also, if I had come back here at least once more, maybe I would have seen the girl alive and could have warned you so that we could get her out. But I decided not to come here anymore, and I put this place as a place forbidden to the inhabitants of the kingdom. I know nothing will bring back all those years you wasted being away from her, but at least accept my apologies".
Lilian, still in shock, bowed slightly and replied:
"Your Majesty! It's all right. If it wasn't for your daughter, I might never see her again, but now I can still live with her for many years. So it's all right... Let's concentrate on Mirian".
The king smiled and looked at his daughter, who was now talking to Michael, who had also come with the king's soldiers.

"Your Highness", said the head of the guards, "I hope you are not angry or sad with me. I had to tell the king".
"It's okay, Michael. You just did your job", the princess told him.
"Thank you, Your Highness. You know you are very dear", thanked Michael, and walked away to take his place among the soldiers.
The princess smiled.
