The King and queen decided to permit Esteban and his children to stay in the palace along with the royal family but on the condition that they swear allegiance to the royal family. They shall protect the Enchanted forest and serve the ruling king and queen.
Elena had a problem with bowing her head to her mother but an even bigger problem doing it to the king. She bit her lower lip to prevent her from uttering her objections to the demands of the king and queen.
"Please state your name and swear your loyalty to the throne," Leo instructed.
"I am Esteban from Izmia and these are my children, Elena and Ender," he said bowing his head to the king and queen.
"Elena? You named your daughter after me?" Elena asked getting up from her throne. She walked down from her throne and stood in front of Esteban.
