Izor came to report that the northern region was becoming prosperous and the land was really fertile, they were managing to rescue some people who were prisoners and they were already living in the region. He was really grateful and when he heard that Prince Issac was free from the magic of submission, he was really happy, Izor knelt down and in tears thanked the princess for her help.
Before Izor's departure, Issac went to talk to him.
— I know it will be difficult, but I would like you to return to Lynx's castle and look for something for me. The chest of magic stones is hidden in this location. — he said, handing a map to Izor.
— I will do my best, Your Highness.
— I need to gather strength to be able to compensate for all the help that Lillian has been providing me, I can't just be a dead weight who can't help her.

King Orion was going to throw a party to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Bishop's priesthood, one of the most imposing figures in the kingdom. After the ceremony, there would be a ball with members of the nobility.
King Orion was accompanied by Lillian who was wearing a very different dress with a more angelic look, they were waiting to welcome the Bishop who was accompanied by an apprentice priest. This caught the king's attention and the Bishop soon commented that this boy could see the magical gifts that people possessed.
— Your Majesty, would you like to know what powers the princess possesses? — suggested the Bishop.
— We could do a test to see what these powers would be.
The Bishop ordered Killan to watch.
Killan is a thin young man, 1.79m tall with long blond hair and green eyes. Killan was struck by Lillian's beauty. Meanwhile, Lillian was wary.
— "Will he find out? But maybe I can figure out if I went back in time or if it was all just a dream."
Killan touched the princess's hand and felt a different flow of energy.
— I can say that the princess is someone very enlightened. She was blessed with wonderful gifts. I can't specify all of its powers.
- How wonderful! I knew my daughter was someone special. That's why she's my successor.
Killan continued to hold Lillian's hand and caressed her without the others noticing. Lillian noted that he saw more than he had said, but she did not understand the apprentice priest's attitude. She withdrew her hand, as she was surprised by his attitude.
...
After the official ceremony, the dance would begin. The members were being announced, it was time for Lillian to enter. She was accompanied by Issac, everyone was commenting on how the two of them made a beautiful couple, especially during the dance. Well, they both had an elegant posture, in addition to Issac being excellent at leading a lady.
Lillian started the dance accompanied by Issac and soon the other nobles could dance. Everyone noticed Lillian's beauty. Duke Gideon was not satisfied, he was already organizing a new selection, but he could not let Issac become the royal consort.
Lillian was impressed with the etiquette that Issac displayed during the dance, which was impeccable. She approached him and whispered.
— How many dances did you attend to acquire these skills? Many maidens must have been enchanted by his company.
Issac did a waltz step, spun Lillian around and brought her closer to him.
— I would like to capture the attention of the person in front of me.
Lillian thanked the dance when the music ended and several people applauded the performance. The less she expected, Lillian was surrounded by several noble girls who were trying to gain her favor. She was talking when she saw someone who looked like Killan, but was dressed completely differently like someone from the nobility. She asked for a moment of tranquility, left and followed him, they were alone on the balcony.
—What are you doing here, priest Killan?
— I am the 4th son of Duke Sirius. That's why I came to the dance. I'm not officially a priest yet. But... I wanted to find her.
Killan approached Lillian and whispered in her ear.
— I know your secret!
- Which secret? — Lillian said, approaching him so that the others couldn't hear.
...
Issac had not met the princess at the ball. And he was looking for her when Duke Gideon approached him.
— The princess is with Duke Sirius' son, you will soon lose your place.
Issac went to the princess and from the door he saw that they were very close, but he didn't know what they were doing alone there, but he realized that Lillian had pulled him close to her, he didn't know if they were kissing or not.
— "What right do I have to intervene?"
