Lucius fulfill his promise and went to see Alexander and let Elizabeth's letter inside the pillow because Catalina didn't want to even let her say goodbye, she wanted to tell her son that she left him, she wanted him to hate her and began a normal life between humans again.
After Lucius said goodbye to the sleepy Alexander he wrote a letter for him.
"Are you going to disagree to this too?"
"... "
"He is my brother, I hope him to know about me and our father"
"But... "
"Are you going to be this selfish? Haven't you taken too much from my father, from me and from my brother?"
"Okay, I will give it to him"
"I don't trust you... Come and make an oath"
"What?"
"You heard me right, come and make the oath that if you don't give this letter to my brother without read it or make another person read it for you, my brother's and my life will be extinguished... I know my life doesn't mean anything to you but my brother's life is everything for you"
"Do you hate me this much?"
"Hate you? You don't even deserve that... Just make the oath to begin trusting in you"
"Okay"
Catalina said the oath while crying, this was too humiliating, her own son doesn't believe in her words, but if she didn't make the oath she wouldn't give the letter to Alexander, after all, she didn't want to lose him too.
'I have become in what Lucius thinks about me... I am truly selfish'
....
Elizabeth and Lucius went on their trip towards the mountain that had the black pine.
"Elizabeth, do you want to talk to your parents?"
"What if they see my pale face and began to worry? "
"But when you get there they will still worry"
"Yes, but at least I will be with them by then"
"... Well I can't disagree with your logic"
"Lucius... "
"Yes... "
"I should have never come"
"Why you say so?"
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known Alexander in person, I wouldn't have touched him, I wouldn't have put him in danger and it wouldn't hurt so much leaving him"
"It hurts now, with time you will began to heal"
"You think so? I think... I will never stop thinking of him"
"That's because you two are meant to be together but... we are too weak in front of them, we can't take Alexander with us even if that's what I want to do"
"You want to take him to our world?"
"Yes... He needs our guide"
"He has lived like that for two years already, he will be okay and his mother is with him"
"Yeah... "
What Elizabeth didn't know it's that every year that pass without a guide and without his ascension, his body will crumble, he will become weak with every passing year and that woman doesn't know about it because she is a witch, and the worst part of it, it's that separating him from his mate will just aggravate the situation, but this is a lesson that woman must learn... If she loves her son more than herself then she will take Alexander to the non human world.
Lucius and Elizabeth finally got to the mountain, the only thing that was left was to climb it, but Elizabeth didn't have the strength to do it, so Lucius took her in his arms.
"I'm sorry you have to do this"
"It's okay, you are a princess after all"
"Haha but you are a prince"
"Yes, but this is what a prince should do for a princess"
"Then... Thank you Prince Lucius Crow"
"You're welcome Princess Elizabeth Moon"
They talked and talked about the green scenery, about how was the human world, about what to do when they return, but they didn't talk about Alexander or Catalina again.
They got to the mountain top after a couple of hours and Lucius began to open the portal.
Elizabeth looked back and remembered when she came, she was so happy because she would finally find her darling, but now, she has to return to her home without him.
'And a month hasn't even passed... Grandma it's not here, and I don't want to cry in front of Lucius'
The portal began to open and Elizabeth looked back again.
"Goodbye Alex, I love you, I hope you a happy life even if I'm not in it" Elizabeth murmured.
"... Let's go Eli"
"Yes"
Because they didn't tell anyone that they will come back, when they crossed the portal there was no one to he seen, so they went down the Saint Hill on their own and got to the palace's gates.
"Princess? Princess!! It's the Princess!!! The Princess came back!!!"
"The Princess came back!!!"
Several guards shouted with happiness.
Those voices got in the King and Queen Moon and they went as fast as their ability allowed them to the gates.
"My beautiful daughter" King Moon said crying.
"My darling!! Are you okay? Why are you so pale? Come inside let the doctor see you" Queen Moon was crying too but as a mother she must make sure her daughter's health was good.
Seeing how her family received her she began to cry. She was selfish to left them behind just to find her lover. 'I truly should have never went there ".
