Conversation with the King

- I will always be on the side of my daughter, I will do everything to protect her. - Horel cried out in outrage, but then drooped again from the realization of his helplessness and Lillian's last words in his head that she would kill Thea with her own hands. 

Why did he put these words on the brakes at that moment, why did he not attach due importance to it?

- Then do what you can. – Rick finally handed the ring to the king, watching him put it on his little finger. – And also, if you ever take off this ring, you will lose your powers forever.

Horel froze in shock.

- The phantom of your spouse is sealed in this ring, to which your magic flows are again tied, but if you break this connection by removing the ring, you will not be able to restore them anymore.  The count explained and the king nodded.
