Tomorrow.

"I don't want to know Xena, you just have to persuade Aiden to quickly take me to the palace. Otherwise, I'll tell him who our family really is." Threatening Audrey to Xena.

"I'm not gonna do it. Didn't you understand that Grandpa would never let you go?." Answer Xena.

"I don't care if Grandpa allows it or not, I'm going to leave. I don't want to live in a remote village like this forever. I'm not the one who wants to heat up in the field, play in the woods and live in this old house. I want to live a more decent life, live in the palace, wear nice clothes, good food and marry a noble's son." Audrey.

"Did you realize what you said earlier?."

"Of course I'm aware of Xena. Do you think I'll stay in this house forever?. No, Xena, I don't want to. And that's never gonna happen. I will leave this old house, and live happily in the palace."

"Audrey!! It was Abraham's grandfather who had just returned from the fields. He seemed very emotional to hear his grandson's words.

"What's true you said?." Ask Abraham's grandfather. His voice was trembling with emotion. "An Audrey!! Excited emotion.

"I'm sorry cake!! But it's true. I don't want to stay in this house. Understand cake. Xena and I will one day leave this house, we will get married and live with our husband. So we can't possibly continue to live in this house with our grandparents.

"That's not what you said." Grandpa Abraham said. Audrey quiet. "Alright Audrey, if you want to go, go wherever you like. I will never ban or hinder you again. All this time I didn't mean to get in the way of your wishes, me and your grandmother just wanted to protect you and Xena. But if you feel I'm blocking you, then go. Just do what you want to do." Abraham's grandfather passed from there.

"You see, brother?. Brother's already hurt grandpa's feelings." Xena.

"What do you mean Xena?. Who hurt him?. Am I wrong to say what I want?. And you heard yourself, Grandpa let me go so I'm going to go."

"Didn't you understand Grandpa's feelings?. He doesn't want my sister to leave."

"I'll keep going Xena. You see, someday I will definitely be what I want to be. And when that day comes, you'll be proud of me." Audrey then went to her room.

Conrad had already returned to the palace, and he was still thinking about what had really happened to his prince. She saw him in the village and Audrey confirmed it, now she also saw Prince Alaric in the palace. What the hell is going on?. Why did Prince Alaric become two?. Could this be the witch?. Ask in the heart. And again, he remembered Gwendolyn. Conrad suspected that this was Gwendolyn's magic. It's possible that Prince Alaric asked him to do all this. Yeah right, he could have done it.

Then who is the real prince, and the false prince of Gwendolyn's magic, Conrad will soon find out the truth. Conrad was convinced that the false prince Alaric was the man in the village, because he could turn into smoke.

To convince him, Conrad went to the court physician, and inquired about the incident in which Alaric had suddenly fainted, and according to the physician's diagnosis, Alaric was bitten by a snake, there was not a single snake in the palace. The physician also recounted the strangeness he found in Alaric's body.

Conrad seemed to be in disbelief hearing that the prince in the palace had no heartbeat and also no blood flowing in his body. Not only had he fainted, even now that every physician had examined him, neither the physician nor any other physician had discovered the strangeness.

Now Conrad was convinced that the prince in the palace was a false prince, and the real prince was still in the village. He understood the prince did all this for sure because of Xena.

Lately, his attitude has been a little strange. It turns out he was just a prince. Conrad said in his heart.

Dimitri and his men were eventually sacked and put on trial. And now the king entrusted the territory to Frederick and his men. Prince Alaric's smile expanded as he watched all of that.

Back to the Village.

Audrey comes to meet Aiden and forces him to immediately take her to the palace. Aiden refuses, as he fears Xena and her family will be angry with him.

"You don't worry. My grandfather has allowed me." Audrey.

"of course. If you don't believe me, you can ask him directly. Now I'm also paying your word. Please quickly take me to the palace "Pinta Audrey is impatient.

"alright. I'll do it, but after I meet your grandfather or sister." Aiden said he met Abraham's grandfather, and what Audrey said was true, Abraham's grandfather allowed Audrey to go to the palace or wherever she wanted.

...

Two days later, Conrad and a group of men who had disguised themselves as wanderers came to the house to pick up Audrey and take her to the palace. Audrey was very happy at the time. He immediately brought his belongings and said goodbye to his family.

"Take care of yourself, sister." Xena's Message.

"You too. Take care of yourself, and our grandparents." The reply.

"And you have to remember!! Don't tell anyone about us there." Xena said when Audrey told her.

"You take it easy, Xena." Audrey walked out of the house.

"Wait on!! Xena Exclamation.

"Where's your friend Aiden?. Why didn't he come with you?." Xena asked Conrad.

"He's in his place. We met him earlier. Excuse me madam!! We have to leave immediately." Conrad said and left with Audrey.

Conrad didn't actually meet Aiden, because he believed Aiden was hiding himself. Conrad came to the village to fetch Audrey on the orders of Prince Alaric who was in the palace. He didn't understand what science the witch had, until he could create an incarnate human whose everything was exactly the same and connected to the original human. Conrad clearly acknowledged and praised the magician's devotion.

...

After a long and exhausting journey, Audrey finally arrived at the palace. He was very happy when he set foot there. As far as he could remember, there was no notable change in the palace. Everything was the same as the last time he lived there.

Conrad took Audrey to the ladies' palace. All the servants lined up and bowed respectfully welcoming Conrad's arrival. Although there were a few pairs of eyes trying to steal a glance towards Audrey, who they were sure was a would-be palace maid who would work like them.

"Welcome to the ladies' palace, General Conrad!! Greet a woman that Audrey thought was the leader or butler there. " Is there anything I can help you with?." Ask.

"I want to leave him here. You educate and teach him everything. Youunderstand?." Ask Conrad.

"Good general." His mouth nodded in understanding.

"Good." General Conrad replied and then he left the ladies' palace.

The butler took Audrey to a special room, and asked Audrey to take off all her clothes.

"What??. Audrey was shocked, hearing the butler's orders. The butler turned his head and stared intently at Audrey. It seemed like she was angry hearing Audrey's scream just now.

"You!! How dare you yell at me. Don't you know who I am heh?. You arrogant girl." She slapped Audrey on the cheek, making her flinch and hold her cheek.
