In the palace, the atmosphere was a mix of sorrow and hope. News had quickly spread that Princess Nimoes had returned, but her state of unconsciousness raised concerns. Among those who felt unease was her uncle, Raul. He knew that once the princess regained consciousness, she might reveal the harrowing events she had experienced.
Fearing the potential repercussions, Raul decided to make a hasty visit to the palace. Before departing, he entrusted Lord Drake with a crucial task: to journey to Greenland and deliver a scroll to King Demon. Drake was filled with apprehensiveness, not only because of the news regarding Prince Olcan, who was now in King Athan's custody, but also because of the secretive dealings between Raul and the Demon King. Raul had promised him a special place in the future kingdom he aspired to establish.
Without wasting any more time, Drake mounted his horse and embarked on the journey to Greenland, a trip that would take several days.
