Seeing Kira was interested to see Ellena in prison, Gewen decided he wanted to come too. So, the four of them went to the prison cell where Ellena was held for almost one year.
On their way to prison, Kira heard from Emmelyn how Ellena could frame her and in the end Emmelyn had to fake her death and flee Draec. It was all because her uncle slash father, Duke Preston, was a very powerful duke. He was also the prime minister of Draec back then when Ellena managed to blame Emmelyn for everything.
Now, Duke Preston was no longer a prime minister. He claimed to have severe health issues after the incident where Ellena stabbed the former king, Jared Strongmoor, during the last royal ball.
He and his wife threw Ellena under the bus and said they had nothing to do with her and they were just as shocked and disappointed in Ellena as everybody else.
