She said turning to her daughter. "Yes, mother". The girl replied she looked exactly like her mother except for the difference in hair color, no one will be able to tell who was whom. "I need to prepare for the prophesy, now the other side will also be aware of the Prince's birth so we must hurry". the woman said again, indeed the other side she was talking about are aware that the prince has arrived they have been watching the process of his birth in a blood red liquid unlike the first woman who is looking in a mirror, they are also preparing to make a move.

In the palace, the king and queen are having a private meeting with an important visitor bringing them news, the king was frowning so hard his brows were touching it was evident that he is not pleased with the news the visitor brought while the queen was sobbing silently. "Why do we have to send our child away Arthur, I just gave birth to him, he's not even a week old yet, and I don't want to tell the whole kingdom that my baby is dead, what if he really dies". The queen sob again leaning against the king.

"I shall take my leave now". The pretty woman who had been looking in a mirror earlier said and left. "We shall send the prince to my brother in the land of Snow, he is the Duke of the land of Snow go and prepare to send him off and I shall look for a dead baby to use in Gary's stead. I believe you don't have to fake your grief about losing your child". The king said looking at his sad wife. "Don't worry my dear eighteen years will pass in a while and my brother will take good care of the prince." He added when the queen continued to hesitate.
