Finally, Ducis was reunited with Lunaflora, and the two embraced each other, not letting go, and trying to make up for all the lost time they had.

On the other hand, Zeid, Nedge, and his team of assassins already finished their preparations, and set out to infiltrate the Floating Kingdom. They used the young child with ashen hair and had him create a teleportation circle towards a non frequented place in the castle - none other than the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest. 

"Everyone, you know what to do," Nedge whispered in an almost inaudible voice as they all bent low, hiding behind the bushes and trees outside the Forbidden Forest. "Four scouts roam and familiarize yourselves with the routes. Come back here after an hour and create a map. Make sure to look for an escape route. If there are knights or guards or anyone roaming around, take note of it as well. Another four will look for the palaces where the maidens are kept. Move silently and don't attract any unwanted attention. Come back after an hour as well. If you don't, we'll proceed to Plan B."

"Yes, sir," everyone agreed.

"Zeid, we stay here for now," he turned to Zeid who's knees kept on shaking his legs, very eager to go. "Hold your horse for now."

"Ugh," Zeid grunted. "Yes, sir."

Time passed by and the eight assassins returned to the group without any hassle, much to their surprise. The four scouts hurriedly created a map, and the other four described the palaces where they found the maidens. They discussed afterwards on how to go about retrieving all of them. Their first plan was to use the teleportation circle for the maidens once they retrieved them. Should there be any mishaps, they carried specialized parachutes created by Zeid's hired inventors in their slim bags. They also brought extras to distribute to the maidens. There would be rescue jets and airships waiting for them below, they just need to send the signal beforehand and they would come flying to them. Everything had been prepared according to their plan… all too well that Nedge kept on having a bad hunch.

After a few more while, the team set out to infiltrate the maiden's palaces. Zeid left, together with Nedge's team and went towards Tétartos palace. The young Magi they captured gave them all the information about palaces. Knowing Rania was a really kind girl, Zeid thought that he'd find her there. 

If only he knew that Rania was just there all along… had he kept still and waited. The moment he ran towards Tétartos, was also the moment that Rania came back with Elliot to the Forbidden Chambers…

At the same time, King Calum could be found with Nefastus in one of the gardens in the Grand Palace. In front of them was a large mirror imbued with Nefastus' magic to show the king what was happening with Zeid's group.

"So this is them?" King Calum asked. His eyes glared at the humans who dared infiltrate his palace. Anger, jealousy, and bloodlust crept into his heart.

"Yes, my king," Nefastus nodded.

Having Azalea as his queen, he didn't really care anymore of the other candidates. For him, it was even alright if they wanted the others back - they could take them all for all he cared. But the problem was Zeid… the man Nefastus told him about. And the fact that the direction he was going to was none other than Tétartos palace - Azalea's old palace! His doubts grew deeper, and his jealousy continued to fill up his heart.

'What would Azalea do once she knew her old lover was coming for her?'

'What would happen to the love they shared?'

'Or did they even share love at all?'

'Did Azalea loved him for real?'

'Or she was just forced to accept him since he was king?'

'Will she leave me? And betray me?'

All these questions circled through King Calum's mind. If there was anything he couldn't bear and hated the most, it was the feeling of being left alone… like how his father left him without saying a single word.

In the height of his anger, he stormed towards his bed chambers where Azalea just finished bathing and prepared herself to bed. It was night time. Having no idea of what was going on in King Calum's mind, Azalea was taken aback when he just stormed inside with an angry look on his face, and pinned her down to bed.

"Uhmm," Azalea grunted in pain. King Calum held her wrists in one hand, pinning it on the bed. "C-Calum? What's going on?"

"Azalea…," King Calum whispered her name in a tone so sweet, yet so hurt. "Do you love me?"

Azalea was bewildered. For what in the world could have happened that made him act like this? But nonetheless, she answered him.

"Of course I do," she replied with a sweet smile, and kissed him on the lips. "What happened? Are you okay?" Her eyebrows frowned in worry.

But King Calum didn't reply. Instead, he kissed her passionately on the lips, down to her neck, and unto her chest. With his free hand, he untied Azalea's sleeping robes, and removed it from her body.

"Ahh… Calum," Azalea moaned, feeling the pleasure from his kisses.

King Calum let go of Azalea's wrists and used both of his hands to caress her body, from her thighs to her waists. Then, he groped her breasts and licked them alternately with his tongue, unto which Azalea moaned louder. Time passed by as the king played with her body. Once he felt her private part dripping wet, he spread her legs, and shoved his manhood inside.

"Ugh! C-Calum, please be gentle," Azalea pleaded. 

The king's roughness hurt Azalea a bit when he just shoved it in. She looked at him in the eyes and noticed that there was really something wrong with him. He never treated her like that before whenever they made love. But now, his expression was just full of frustration, pain, and somewhat… anger.

"Calum, please tell me what's wrong," Azalea asked again, as King Calum continued to pound on her. But Calum still didn't respond, instead, he went rougher with her. "Ahh! Calum! Ahh… ahh… ahh… ahh!"

After half an hour of thrusting hard on Azalea, King Calum climaxed inside her. 

"Hahh… hahh… hahh…," they both panted.

Then, King Calum turned Azalea around so she laid on her stomach, and raised her hips towards him. With a sudden thrust, he continued making love to her - no, maybe it wasn't making love anymore and just "intercourse". With the way his eyes lost its brilliance and were replaced with mere jealousy and rage…
