Prince Sebastian had a hard time crossing through the forbidden forest with his men. He did not realize that they had a lot of fear in their heart. They had only walked into the entrance of the forest when most of them fell under the spell of the forest.
This was the weakest part, prince Sébastien immediately realized that if he crossed with them like he had wanted to, he might spread up to a month in the forest. It would take too much time, and the current situation did not give him the chance to do that. A lot of things can go wrong if he was missing for more than two days. so he decides to look for another part to cross the side of the forest. It took him an hour to bring them back to their senses.
He instructed to cast a spell of his own, of course, his power could not be compared to that in the forest but as long as these men could focus on the road and follow him they would not fall into another trap
