Flower kept shut, said her thanks and left the cave. Lucifer entered his hole.

Nilela Kingdom:
"I have gotten what I would use on Nilela," Flower said to her son after her return. Daniel was in his room. "Your father gave it to me."
"What are we going to use this small knife for? Don't tell me you want to use it and fight Nilela, this small kitchen knife won't stop him you know."
"I just need to slice any part of his body, in that way, I will be blocking his vision of seeing anything we are doing." Flower explained to her son. "Do you now understand?"
"Yes, I understand you now mother, but how do we get close to him to cut him without him knowing?"
"That's why you are here," Flower said, taking one of his hands, forcing his palm open and putting the knife on it. "You will be the one to use it on him." she added and continued, "I don't know how you are you to do this but you have to think this on your own, son, I have done my part, now it is left for you to decide the plan."
"Okay, I will surely come up with a plan, thank you mother." Daniel assured his mother and Flower left him alone.
Soon, Zelik entered his room.
"My King, is it time yet?" he asked, referring to the killings of Vala's family.
"Soon Zelik, for now, something is bothering me."
"What can that be my King?"
"I have to get closer to Nilela to cut any part of his body but I don't know how." Daniel explained.
"I do know how."
"Tell me."
"You can pretend to practice sword fighting with him and you will use your sword and slice his arms and you can say it's a mistake."
"That's a good idea Zelik, thank you," Daniel said, smiling.

Few hours later, when the sun was out, shining, Nilela visited the palace and followed his mate until he saw Vala who was helping Mary in the kitchen to wash the dirty dishes.
Vala stopped what she was doing when she caught his scent and ran into his open arms.
"Awww, look at the two love birds," Daniel said from the kitchen door as he stared at them, he smiled hiding his hurt and anger. "I am happy for you brother."
Carrying Vala in his arms in bridal style, he turned around to look at Daniel.
"Thank you Daniel, but I must say, I thought you are fighting me over my mate, what changed?"
"Nothing, I just realized that to every single one of us out there, there is always a soulmate waiting for us. I will just have to wait to find my own."
Nilela smiled at that, "Don't worry, the Creator will give you your own soulmate. It just might take time but you will definitely get to meet the one destined to be with you."
"You know how to say things," Daniel said.
"Well I should, after all I am older than you." They both laughed.
"Can you teach me how to fight? Please,"
"I promise Vala I would be teaching her how to control my chain which I am going to give her today." Nilela told him, pecking Vala's forehead.
Daniel was livid with anger, the chain he wanted and Nilela refused to give to him will now be given to Vala. Hope she remembers their bargain."
"Tell you what, I will be here tomorrow morning and I will teach you whatever you want to learn all day."
"Okay, I shall be waiting, Nilela," Daniel said. "What about the spirit beasts, are you done with the ones you want to share for all the people in Nilela kingdom?"
"Yes, I am almost done, will be giving them their spirit beast soon," Nilela said, "See you tomorrow." with that being said, he left the kitchen.
***********
All through the remaining hours until the sun has gone to sleep, Nilela taught Vala how to control the chain at the place he had taken her before, the clouds. He flew her down to the palace.
"Just know the chain may sometimes do things on its own, whenever you see the chain acting strange, just know wherever you are is dangerous. Just watch out for the signs." Nilela told her. "I will see you tomorrow my darling, love you so much."
"I love you too Nilela," Vala said with a blush.
"I will see you tomorrow," Nilela said, brushing his lips on hers and flying back into the dark sky.
"Well, well well," Daniel said, clapping his hands and coming out of his hiding place. "I hope you remembered about our discussion, your reason for being here, right?"
"Yes, I do remember but if I could vividly remember that night, you never told me what I should steal." Vala told him as the chain wrapped it's around her waist.
"The chain with you is what I want you to steal for me and now that you have succeeded, give it to me now." Daniel told her.
"In your dreams Daniel, you never told me what to steal and the person and now you are telling me its the same chain my beloved mate gave to me, you must really be dreaming, so I would advise you to wake up from that dream of yours, because it is now mine. Good night Prince." Vala told him and left Daniel who was speechless. He stared after Vala in anger and licked his lips.
He placed one of his hands on his heart and tapped it gently, "Be patient, don't allow your anger to rule out plans. We shall see Vala." he added and went back to his room.
Laying down on his bed, Daniel smirked, he can't wait for morning to come.
*********
True to his words, Nilela came as soon as the sun was set.
He pecked Vala on her forehead before following Daniel to the back of the palace.
Nilela didn't come empty handed, he came with his sword.
"So I forgot to ask you yesterday how Zelda is doing?" Nilela asked.
"He's fine, still practicing with him." Daniel replied him.
"Okay," Nilela said and didn't hide his surprise when he saw the small kitchen knife Daniel brought out from his boots. Is that what you will use for training?"
"Yes, I am really good with small knives."
Okay, if you say so."
"Well, let's leave that aside, I am really happy to see you here Nilela, I even thought you won't keep to your promise, I am happy you did. Anyway, I won't be participating in the ongoing tournament for the throne anymore."
"That's good, because you won't even smell to win."
