Alian went to take a bath in the hidden part of the lake in the morning. While putting on his clothes, his eyes fell on the stream on the other side of the lake, so he panicked and ran away.

Bayar had eaten a poisonous plant on the bank of the lake near the hill. She was now lying on the ground in agony.

"Bayar..." he shouted loudly and ran towards her and picked her up and ran towards Brag towards the forest.

After sleeping, Princess Eva got out of bed, rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat by the lake and started washing her face. The water drops glittered like diamonds on the transparent waxy face.

She was looking at her reflection in the lake when she heard Alian’s scream and straightened up.

He was running towards the trees, picking up the bayar. Ivan also got up and ran after him.

"Look at her. What happened to her?”

He was looking at Bayar madly and saying to Brag. Neemar also quickly bent over the bayar and took a look.

"She has eaten a poisonous plant. It is full of poison. It will die.” Brag was shocked. Bayar's eyes were wide open with pain.

"I can fix it. Go away; I can save her from the poison." Eva reached there after running and said after hearing Brag's words, recovering his puffy breath.

Alian quickly stepped aside.

"No, princess. This poison will weaken you. You are not in the palace at this time for the royal physician to cure you. You can't do this, you are our trust.”

Brag started to stop her. He was also worried. On one side there was a dying animal and on the other side she was the most important princess for this entire kingdom. He did not understand who to choose.

"I will be fine Brag. Even if I become weak, I will not die. Let Bayar be saved." Ivan sat next to Bayar saying seriously.

"Princess, don't do that. We think of something else. You have become weak and will die if you do not get treatment from the royal physician. Stop.”

Neemar also shouted and stopped him. She leaned on the bayar and put her hand on its chest and closed her eyes. The white light emanating from Ivan's hand started to be absorbed in Bayar's body.

"Princess Eva." Brag and Neemer screamed helplessly. She continued to heal Bayar, as the signs of pain in Bayar's existence began to disappear.

Her dilated eyes became normal. When Alian looked at her, he was shocked.

She was shaking badly. Then she started to fall on the ground when Brag spread a branch and took hold of her.

He stood still. 

He was in danger, someone in whom even going to the palace was dangerous.

Bringing the royal physician to the lake meant informing the enemy spies of the secret residence of the princess.

Not treating it meant taking her away from life.

Brag and Neemar were crying, now she has to go to the palace for a few days, secretly, It was necessary.

She was in danger; even going to the palace was dangerous.

The trouble of Brag and Neemar was telling that the condition of Princess is going to get worse.

Alian took one look at the improving Bayar and moved forward, wrapping Evan in his arms and holding her close.

“Please tell me any solution to improve her condition, any such solution in which you don't have to go to the palace. Don't let the enemy know. She will be saved.”

Ivan's body was getting so cold that he thought it was ice. He started to ask Bragg. Ivan was being pushed into his warm embrace.

"Solution is the royal physician knows the treatment. If we do that, the princess will be fine. But it is difficult.”

Neemar gave an informal answer and got stuck on the last sentence. Alian was fascinated.

Brag lengthened his branches and separated from himself dry leaves, and thin twigs. Other trees were doing the same.

At a place in the middle, they collected the dry wood.

“What is that treatment? Tell me Neemar. I will do everything.” Alian had said in a strong tone.

"You will not be able to do it. If we set fire to a plant and steam the princess, then her cold existence leading to death will be better.” Bragg was completely serious.

They used to feel helpless coming here. Getting that herb was the most difficult thing.

"Tell me Brag. She will die." HE shouted badly. When did he want that little girl to die by giving life to Bayar?

"Yes, I will send her to the palace because that herb belongs to the royal physician, you cannot bring that plant."

Bragg told him sternly. The princess could not be left to die. Bragg had failed in his duty. His desire is to separate himself from the earth and set himself on fire. What will he answer to the princesses? He couldn't let Princess Eva die. Neemer was creating sparks rubbing stones.

Alian helplessly looked at the cold fragile being on his chest, whose coldness was increasing.

Casting a worried glance at Bayar, she was looking better but not awake. He was stuck.

"Bayar will wake up. One day and one night, after that she will wake up by herself. When she wakes up, this pain will be nowhere in her memory. She will think that she is sleeping. This is the magic of Princess Eva. But there are some poisons from which she pushes her to death while getting rid of them. This is happening for the fifth time in her eighteen years of life. Do you know how painful it is? This pain does not disappear from her memory. She endures and remembers. But every time bear it, next time, she don't back down."

Brag was crying. He was really crying. Neemar had managed to light the fire. All the trees were withered. The swaying plants had frozen in place. Sending the princess to the palace was necessary but also dangerous.

Alian got up by himself after laying Ivan down by the fire and carrying the bayar went towards his house.

Neemar watched him go with anxious eyes.

"I think this is a brave person. He will bring this herb. Try it and see. "

Neemar was speaking in a clear tone. The princess was lying lifeless and she stood with her hands tied..?

"He is brave, but he is not fit to be a general. He is strong but ignorant of this world. Send him to the bloody cave so that he can never return. What will you answer when the princess wakes up?”

Bragg said as he led Princess Eva to the fire.

When he returned after some time, he had a soft silk quilt in his hand.

"Is it save?” Keeping the quilt near the fire, he looked at the fire and asked seriously.

"It won't make it better, but yes, the princess will not die from this. This is not a solution but it is necessary for now.” Bragg added more branches to the fire.

All the animals were sitting with their heads bowed down.

Alian picked up Ivan and wrapped her in himself while sitting on the quilt. He was going crazy to cure her but he was ignorant of the diseases here and their treatment.

"Brag, where will that herb be found? Tell me if you want the princess to be saved, if you want your duty to be fulfilled. Tell me." He asked while caressing Ivan's cold face with his warm hand. She was turning blue, like being filled with poison.

"That herb, out of kingdom Renam. Far away is a hot cave built in these sand dunes in a field. You crossed that field. Even if you reach the cave. It is a bloody cave. Traps are laid there, and those who go can't get out.” Neemar was telling him. He was listening to Ivan's delicate little hand pressed into his.

"So how does the royal physician get that herb?"

He raised his eyebrows and asked. There was a solution.

"Only the warlord Muzan can come out from there. He brings the herbs. His sword is so sharp that it moves like lightning. He does not fall into the trap. He can bring. You will die.”

Brag said helplessly and looked at Alian.

"If I die, that's fine, brag." He was about to die when he reached here. If he dies, there is no harm. If it returns, it will be saved. Tell me the way if I don't come back for three days, take her to the palace. Three days. Can you keep her alive until then?"

He had made a decision immediately. Brag and Neemar looked at him worriedly. Is he as brave as Muzan? He will not be able to do it. They knew.

"You will not go. You stop; we will send a message to the palace. The princess will be treated. You don't take this risk.”

Bragg vehemently refused. He knowingly let Alian go to die. What would he answer to Princess Eva? He could not.

“Who is important here at this time? Is this the princess of your kingdom or me? So don't you want to save your princess? Show me the way Brag. Explain now.” He said in an adamant tone. He had taken it. It seemed that he would not back down from his decision.

"At the end of Renam's bazaar, a small clan begins in this clan."

Neemar was talking non-stop. Brag became silent. He was also listening intently to Ivan. Neemar just stopped.

He was uneasy when she stopped. Neemar was scared. If she tells the way, he will walk, but outside the kingdom of Renam, he will reach the sand dunes and there will be no way back. If he does not return, Princess Eva will lose Alian. He was ready to die.

"Speak Neemar. If it was possible to go to the palace, then the sisters would not have left the princess alone in the forest by the lake. Was it an easy decision? And both of you want the princess to be sent to the palace.” He replied seriously this time.

Ivan's cold blue lips and lifeless body were in front of him. The decision was difficult but had to be taken.

"A big door across a clump of slightly different trees in the tribe, Renam's empire is over. On the other side of this gate are sand dunes where the nights will be so cold that you will die if you spend too many days in them. You have to find out where the cave is in these dunes. No one knows how there are traps in the cave. The plant will be blue in color, dark blue color." Bragg told the rest of the details.

Both of them were now silently looking at Alian and he was looking at Ivan.

Brag and Neemar thought he would not be able to do it.

He felt the same but he wanted to try. He wanted to make an effort to save Ivan. This world did not belong to him, nor did he have any purpose to live. He came here without intention.

Therefore, he was not even afraid of death.

He bent down, hugging Ivan to his chest and spread a loving touch and gently laid her on the quilt and went back. Brag was increasing the heat of the fire.

He was about to start another journey. And it was going to change the course of his life.
