The whole following week Angelica didn't look like herself. She automatically attended the institute, did tasks and tests. But her thoughts were somewhere far away. She kept thinking of Margo's words that the life of Edward was in her hands. However, she could not forget either Swein or the Prince of vampires.
"Flirt, deceiver!" Lica scolded herself, but it did not help.
Finally, she decided to talk to her friend Sveta.
"Sveta, what would you do if you fell in love with three guys at the same time?" the girl asked Sveta, while visiting her at home.
"Well, apparently, I wouldn't do that!" Sveta laughed. "And I think that it never happens! You cannot love everybody at the same time. Whatever one of them you like more than others!"
"It happens!" Angelica muttered gloomily.
"Are you in love with someone?" her friend asked with interest.
"No, I just asked… it's interesting!" the girl replied. "But if the life of one of these guys depended on you, then what would you do?"
"Well, then you should choose this guy, though as in duty bound! Look, I think you have a secret, come on tell me!"
"There's nothing to tell, I said that just theoretically!"
The girls chatted a little and Lica went home. At home she had dinner, exchanged a few words with her parents and locked in her room.
"Sveta was right," Angelica thought. "Duty is above all! So I must save Edward and forget about Swein and Prince of vampires."
Thinking about that she had a headache but finally she decided to be resolute...
At the weekend Lica's parents were going to their friends' country house.
"Would you like to go with us?" her mother asked.
"No, thanks!" Angelica shook her head. "We are too tired of each other, so this weekend we just need to rest separately!"
Her mother laughed, patted Lica's hair and went out.
The girl went back to her room, opened the wardrobe and took her jeans, which she was wearing in the Kingdom of Night. She put her hand into the jeans pocket and pulled out the dirk.
"I think it is time to visit the witch!" Angelica said aloud.
She quickly got dressed, made her hair in a ponytail and went to the mirror. Already having got used to wielding her dirk, Lica inserted it between the mirror glass and the frame. When the mirror became dull, she stepped forward, took the knife and jumped in to the room of Prince Edward's castle.
But she was not going to look for Henry. Not to make a noise she sneaked in the stables through the castle courtyard. There she saddled the horse, climbed slowly and went out of the yard.
"I will not say anything to Henry yet!" the girl decided. "I don't want to worry the old man."
She sent her horse towards the City of goblins. She knew this road very well and the moonlight helped her to light the way. Angelica pulled the reins and rushed galloping. She was riding as suddenly she felt a nasty chill inside. Lica looked around; although she did not notice anything strange, she suddenly began to be afraid of something.
"What is this?" the girl was worried. "I am not here for the first time and I have never felt anything like that before. The worst was when I fell asleep."
She tried to pull herself together and not paying attention on her troubles to go on. Bypassing the City of goblins, Angelica turned to the right. A few hours later she got to the road that was running past Swein's tomb.
"Well, I am going to be at Margo's soon!" Lica thought relieved.
But here some excitement and trembling had been overcome her.
"What is wrong with me today?" Angelica exclaimed indignantly.
She pulled the reins and directed the horse to the rising mountains ahead...
After another couple of hours she got to the mountains and turned towards the witch's cave. There she jumped off the horse, tied it at the entrance and went inside. There wasn't anybody in the first room. Lica was going along the corridor to the familiar room. When she came in, she saw Margo, sitting in the armchair with the long pipe in her hand.
"At last!" she said quietly. "Have you chosen yet?"
"Yes!" Angelica nodded. "But at first I must talk to Swein!"
"The Prince is in his room, reading the Book of Destiny."
"Thank you!" she said and went to his room.
The Prince was sitting at the table next to the brightly burning fireplace. He was reading carefully the thick tome, which they had brought from the caves of dead Wizard.
"Swein!" she called him quietly.
The Prince raised his head and having seen Angelica smiled.
"I'm glad to see you!" he said. "If you are here then it means that you have made a decision!"
"Yes," Lica agreed. "And I want to talk about it with you."
"Why with me?" Swein surprised raising his left eyebrow.
"I've been thinking a lot about you, Edward and me..." Angelica began to speak. "I really like you, Swein! Despite all your ridicule and sarcasm! You are brave, honest, and..."
Then she paused and looked at the Prince. She expected her speech would make a splash and Swein would be moved and would embrace declaring his love but she saw only the usual grin on his face.
"You are... you are!" Lica flushed. "Even now you are grinning! Ii is impossible to talk to you! So you must know that I have chosen Edward! He's not a cad like you!"
"You have just appeared and so much insult!" the Prince burst of laughing. "Well, let it be Edward! I am truly happy for him!"
"And you do not want to say anything else?" she was disappointed.
"What did you expect to hear? 'Oh, Angelica, stay with me! I cannot live without you!?'" Swein said snidely.
"You know!" Lica was furious.
She turned around and ran away from the Prince's room. In the hall, where she ran in, the witch had been waiting for her patiently.
"Margo, I have made a decision!" Angelica said firmly. "I have chosen Edward! What do I have to do to give his soul back?"
��Excellent!" the witch shouted.
