Accompanied by Arla and her fellow mages, Mistress Valeria assisted in relocating the Wolfsbane and Belladonna discovered in the queen's garden to the alchemy room for secured storage. Meanwhile, King Allister retired to the drawing room in the company of the two princes.

"I understand, Father. I just got nervous when you were about to kill the baby," Andriu said who looked tired and stressed as well.
"I was never going to kill that baby. I was just bluffing. I know the mother is not going to let her baby die like that. I saw her breastfeeding her child and the connection of a mother and a child during that stage is strong. She would basically do anything to save her baby," the king said.
