His real aim

Southside, the next morning.

Emperor Vanish and his men camped outside the gate of the first kingdom o the South. At the first sunlight of the day, singing and dancing could be heard from a distance.

The people from the six kingdoms decided to come out early to celebrate. The royal family of these kingdoms had spent the night preparing the daughters to please the Emperor.

Each one of these families was hoping that their daughter will become the emperor's favorite. They believe that as long as this happens it will only be a matter of time before their kingdom dominates the others.

Each of these kingdoms did not forget to prepare twenty boats for the Emperor. apart from marrying a new wife what made the emperor very happy was the fact that he will finally be able to get the number of boats needed in time to go over to the twelve kingdoms of the sea.
