After Jude had run into the forest and mysteriously disappeared according to the guards, Ashburn had left with Melina, and the king had ordered his guards to throw both Carl and Festus into the castle's prison.
The guards wanted to take Festus' staff away from him but the light wizard had refused and wouldn't let go of the staff.
"I would have loved to give up my staff to you but someone is currently after it and it is dangerous to allow this staff to fall into the wrong hands," Festus said, turning his gaze to Roy as the king clearly knew what he was talking about.
"Listen Festus I am not going to take away your staff but if you try anything stupid, I assure you that I will find you and you will not be coming back with me," Roy said, pointing at his face.
After saying that he gave his guards the go sign as they dragged both Festus and Carl to the castle.
