After Gewen departed, Mars finally could sleep. He gave Harlow to the Athibaud sisters and he retreated to his chamber and took a rest. The experience from the night before made him feel exhausted.
Ahh.. at least, now both his father and mother were okay. Gewen was already on the way, and he, too, would soon leave the capital to go get Emmelyn.
Things were going on track. Mars could finally sleep peacefully. In his sleep, he dreamed of Emmelyn.
***
"What should we do?" Emmelyn finally couldn't take it anymore. They had been stranded in the wilderness for two weeks and, still, they couldn't find the so-called entrance to the hidden kingdom.
If Maxim's mother had never been to Myreen, Emmelyn might think the kingdom was not real and people made up stories about it.
However, Queen Maude was living proof that Myreen was real. She even took Maxim there when he was little, even though the man couldn't remember anything from the trips.
