In the Euphrate kingdom, Prince Zod was discussing with his father how he intended to go to Havilla in the next couple of days. Although his father was against it and commanded that he should be patient till Prince Edward comes back with the girl but Prince Zod refuses to listen to his father.
"I need to create fear in the land, that way it will be easy for us to get the girl," he answered his father.
"We are breaking the deal."
"No, why? Because their lives are in our hands which means we have the upper hand. There is nothing to be afraid of father, I know exactly what I am doing."
"Alright then, do as you please. I will send a message to them to announce your arrival. Get all you need for the journey."
"I will do that immediately, father." and he left to get prepared for his journey.

"Hello, Mrs. Putin" Gwen greeted the lady in charge of the house.
"It's nice to see you again, I thought you won't visit again."
"We've been busy," Chad answered.
"That's understandable. Where's my warrior?" Mrs. Putin asked looking around for Phoebe.
"she is at home with mom. She will come visiting next time." Gwen told her.
"Ok. So how can I help you? Are you two moving out of the house?"
Gwen laughed nervously. "No, we are not the ones in need of a house but them." she pointed to Lucas and Edward.
"Young men, nice to meet you. I am Mrs. Putin." She stretched her hand for a handshake.
"L..Damian." Lucas shook her hand.
"Erik." Prince Edward shook her hand too.
"Well, I will let you two check out the apartment and let me know if there's anything you'd like to be done to it or if you'd like another place."
Lucas whispered into Prince Edward's ear and after much debating, they finally agreed to take the house. They wouldn't be spending enough time here so the house doesn't need to be perfect. "We will take the house," Lucas answered the lady.
Chad and Gwen were shocked. "Don't you want to take a look at it first?" Gwen asked.
"The house looks amazing or is it hunted by any chance?" Prince Edward asked the lady but she shook her head. "Then we will take it." Lucas paid the woman and the keys were given to them.
"Are you sure?" Gwen asked again.
"Absolutely," Lucas answered.
"Ok. We will be on our way home now or would you like to come with us?"
Prince Edward looked at Lucas to remind him that they need to go I'm search of the amulet. Lucas understood the look so he told them no. "Perhaps when we are settled in, we will come to visit."
"Ok. Enjoy your new home." She bade them goodbye while Chad glared at them and signaled to them that his eyes are watching them.
After they had gone, the two of them rested on the sofa. "So where do we find the amulet?" Lucas asked.
"We will find it where we lost it." Prince Edward answered.
"Let's go then." They stood up and left the house.
Gwen and Chad got home but were surprised to see that Phoebe wasn't home. It was only Claudia in the kitchen. "We are back, mom." Chad rushed to meet her while hugging her from behind.
"I think you are forgetting you are getting old." Gwen reminded him but Chad stuck out his tongue at her.
"He is still my baby."
"Thanks, mom." He pecked her cheek. "Now, where's Phoebe?"
"I told her to get some things for me at the grocery store. How was the house?"
"I think they are dumb," Chad answered.
"Don't call them that, "Gwen warned.
"I will call them whatever I think they are."
"That's being rude and mom has warned us severally about that."
Claudia noticed the tension in the air and she had to cut in. "Hold your horses. What is the clamoring about?"
"They refuse to check out the house before paying for it," Gwen answered.
"And that's why I call them dumb."
"Just because you hate them doesn't give you the right to talk about them like that."
"I see you are already head over heels in love with them. Which one are you interested in? Or is it both?"
"Stop! The both of you." Claudia shouted at them and they became silent.
"Chad, I have warned you not to talk about people like that."
"But..." Claudia held her hand up and he swallowed back his words immediately.
"Now, apologize to your sister." Chad looked at Gwen and apologized. "Good. I don't want to hear any more about you guys fighting over those guys, am I understood?"
"Yes, mom."
Claudia looked at the both of them before going back to what she was doing while Chad and Gwen went to their rooms.

Phoebe went to the grocery store and on her way back she saw something that caught her attention. She moves closer to the place and the young boy looked at her and asked, "What would you like?"
Phoebe pointed to an amulet. "Fifty dollars and it's yours."
"Can I have a look at it first?" she asked the boy but he shook his head.
"Pay me and you get it." the young boy answered.
"Can I pay you ten dollars?" Phoebe asked but the young rolled his eyes at her while gesturing for other customers to come.
"Twenty?" but still no response from him.
"Everyone wants it but no one wants to pay the price." He took it off the selling board and kept it inside his drawer. "It's no longer for sale."
"Thirty?"
"Get lost already, lady."
"Phoebe?" She heard a voice call then. she turned, and she saw Lucas and Prince Edward.
"Erik, Damian... What are you doing here? What about your search for the house?"
"We bought the apartment close to your house. Why are you here?" Lucas asked.
"I came to buy some groceries but then I saw something that caught my attention and I decided to check it out he isn't willing to sell it."
"How much?"
"fifty dollars and I don't have that amount of money on me now."
"Can we see it?" Lucas asked the boy but he told them it was off the selling chart for today. "Don't worry, we will try again tomorrow. What was it exactly?"
"An amulet," Phoebe answered and Lucas and Prince Edward's eyes widened in shock. If it was the amulet they were looking for, then they need to be the ones to buy it not her.
"We will try again tomorrow," Lucas assured.
"I guess. I have to run home now. See you guys around." She ran home.
"Can we see it?" Prince Edward asked the boy but he was adamant.
"I told you to try again tomorrow."
The Prince wanted to pressurize him but Lucas told him it was best if they tried again tomorrow besides, they weren't sure it was the same amulet.
"We will be here first thing tomorrow morning." Prince Edward told him.
"Make sure to bring a lot of money too."
Lucas pulled the Prince because he saw how angry he was and he could tell what he would do to the boy.
All they need to do is come tomorrow and find out if the amulet is the one they are looking for or not.
