"I will kill them first", Mirian said and ran up to Agatha.
However, a strong wind blew over the witch and threw her far away, preventing her from attacking.
The king saw the five bodies where once there was a hallway and was saddened. James and Emily began to get up as the effect of the spell wore off. They rejoined the princess who was now sitting on the floor very tired. Both the yellow crumb that was in her hands and the black petals had evaporated.
"Agatha... do you know... any magic words?", asked Emily with wide eyes.
"No", said the princess.
"I'm glad you didn't eat the flower. It wouldn't do any good without the words, you would only lose your power", her shaken friend told her.
"It's true... I didn't know what to do... I didn't think straight", replied the princess.
James approached Agatha with even more pain coursing through his body. He sat down next to her and with one arm embraced her.
"What an intense day", he said.
"Look what a simple marriage proposal turned into", she said, and they smiled.
At this moment the king and Lilian arrived near them. The woman was still recovering. The king laid Lilian down next to Emily and handed her the book of spells he was holding. The girl embraced her mother with contagious joy, the princess and the prince stood up and the king embraced them.
"Are you all right?", the king asked the three.
"We are", they answered.
"How nice! I love you very much", said the king and turning to Emily, he spoke: "You too Emily. You don't remember me, but I've known you since you were little. It's a pity that you have stayed in this prison all this time. If I knew we'd be here a long time ago to get you out of here".
As the king spoke, Emily vaguely recalled times when she was a child and someone took her in and out of that prison. And her eyes watered.
She nodded and everyone hugged each other.
Mirian stood up with pain in her body and saw in the distance everyone gathering and hugging each other. "They are acting as if they have already won," she thought even more angrily and picked up again the sword that had fallen.
To be continued...
