After realizing what he had to do next , the prince knew that he would need help , so he decided to find Eugene whom apparently had just arrived.

Anton knew that he had never felt so much guilt before , so he used a spell to hide Eugene for everyone in the castle, the king figured that something was not right about his son but he never thought the boy would go against him, while Eugene was with him he noticed that Anton was not as evil as he pretend to be that he actually cared for Mira, as that came to his mind at that moment he decided not to interfere between Anton and Mira. Since the king sent food for Mira but she refused , he decided to teach her a lesson by torturing the young princess just because she did not heed his command. The entire Dark City could hear her screams , some of the people felt sorry for her, not everyone there was bad . When Anton heard her screams he got furious and immediately went to the tower to free her , but there was a trap that they obviously did not know about , for the boys were not thinking straight at all. As they opened the door to the tower she saw them , even tried to show them they were walking into a trap but the girl could not , the king had ordered the guards to gag her so that she will not be able to speak , when the princes saw her in that state tears appeared in Eugene eyes , as for Anton his heart was melting for the prophecy was actually coming true. In the forest of mist Lily felt something had changed , except she did not know if it was for the bad 𝚘𝚛 𝚐𝚘𝚘𝚍, 𝚢𝚎𝚝 𝚋𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚍 𝓜𝓲𝓻𝓪 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚗𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚐𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚞𝚙 𝚘𝚗 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚋𝚎𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚍.

Anton was confused so he removed the cloth they used to gag the girl , when they were finished she told him that his father cast a powerful spell on the chains , " damn it we will have to find another way ", said Anton , { not necessarily, it can be destroyed by the strongest of fire"}, replied Eugene , Mira then said " there is only one thing that is strong enough to break these chains and that is Drogon's breath only his fire can really work", after hearing this Eugene sent a message to Elvendore asking his sister to send the dragon. As Eugene left the tower to get some potion to heal Mira's feet where the chains had bruised , Anton stayed behind just staring at her ," well you did join hand at last", said Mira , " do not get too excited i am only helping because i am the reason you are in this state", replied the dark prince , " ah so it is guilt that you feel", the girl said , the boy smiled " no just be quiet before someone hears you ". Mira listened to what he said , she could have felt that Anton had began to change , like always she really liked that and decided to take advantage of it when she gets loose. Well she wants him to change completely but Mira also wanted his father to be on the same page but completely failed at that, the young princess did not want to tear a family apart for she never knew what her parents even looked like. While Anton was busy keeping the girl company his father started to notice that something was off , as for Eugene hw was waiting for Drogon to arrive, well about half hours later he arrived and was not happy at all , Eugene told him what he had to do , as you know that dragon has an anger problem but did as he was told anyway , when he flew up everyone of Dark City saw him they got really scared. Robert heard the commotion outside and decided to take a look , when he did the guy nearly got a heart attack upon seeing a dragon in his kingdom, he had already figured out why it was there along with who helped the enemy , Drogon roared and flop his wing hard enough at the window of the tower making it collapse , the guard and the king ran to the tower to stop the dragon but was too late Anton had left the tower, Drogon came in unleashing a lot of fire on the chain breaking it. Mira finally got free from the prison , she looked at the king smiling " you will not win this war, that is a promise i can make to a damn horrible man like you ", said Mira, he sneered at her but she ignored him , the man got annoyed so his guards attacked the princess , she was not hurt because her dragon protected her , in that process Drogon got angry killing each guard that was protecting the king and flew off . He did not want to go leaving the king alive but Mira calmed him down so that he will not do something that everyone would regret. After a little bit of flying they landed at a lake outside of Dark City there Eugene along with Anton was already waiting for her , as Mira came off of her dragon she thanked him , when she turned around Eugene hugged her tightly but she was only focused on Anton , " well i am glad you are okay , also it is time to return to Elvendore my sister is desperate to see you", said Eugene , the girl smiled in agreement with him , as for Anton he knew deep down within all that coldness that hew would miss her , the guy smiled at Mira " well i am glad that i am finally getting rid of a pain go home and please for god sake do not come back here", said Anton, she laughed " really well you might be right after all you are getting married ", replied Mira , he smiled biting his lip " i am not getting married", the girl became over joyed that she hugged him , well he was getting some feeling at that moment which he had never felt before so he hugged her back. Before the girl got on the dragon with Eugene she looked back at Anton as he flew away knowing that he will visit her and they took off for Elvendore not knowing what was awaiting her there.
