We need to torture them very well, they will be forced to speak.

The girl Peter brought in stand at the back hiding behind the girls, Kai notice her move close to her looking into her eyes, look up, she avoid eye contact with Kai, I say look at me, he yell loudly at her, shaking she look up at Kai, you know who it belongs to.

I don't know, she respond anxiously her voice breaking out fear.

Kai grab her neck tighten his grip around her neck, tell me what you know about this handkerchief.

Choking under his grip tears running down her cheek, I know nothing about it, this is my first time seeing it.

Kai bang her head on the wall holding her neck, tell me what you know, his voice deepen.

one of the kings guards enter, sire, the king has asked for your presence in the hall.

He loose his grip on the girl, lock them up and keep eye on this girl, he toss her to Peter and leave the room.

I know you are trouble, Peter drag her out viciously with the other girls.

Have you found her?, Kendrick as Kai the minute he walks in.

Still on the search your highness but I promise to find her soon.

Soon, Jasmine retort, she went missing last night, how soon is it going to take you to find the princess, you are not competent as a warrior leader.

This is the last opportunity am giving you, release my daughter from wherever you are hiding her.

I didn't hide her, I can never do that to her, Edward defend himself.

You were the last person seen in her room last night.

I was, but she was gone before I got there.

Stop accusing Edward, he is not responsible for your daughters disappearance.

Lock him up and get the truth out of him, I want the princess found by the end of the day, Kendrick commands Kai.

I will make you regret this Kendrick, he draw out his sword, kill anyone that lay a hand on the prince, he commands his warriors.

Noise coming from outside, go cheek what going on, Kendrick instruct a guard, the minute he opens the door, a sword landed on his neck cut his head off rolling on the floor, Vincent smirks look back at Kendrick,

attack them, he yell.

Fighting one another, blood splashes on the wall bodies laying on the floor fighting none stop, Jasmine manage to run out of the hall,don't do this Vincent.

You started this, you should have known better before accusing a prince without a proof.

You are in my kingdom, you won't survive this.

We will see, he raise his sword at Kendrick fighting each other viciously, Moana and Peter join in the fight, one has to surrender for this fight to end or we will all die.

Peter smile at Moana, then we die.

We are fighting over a misunderstanding, it not worth dying for.

Are you scared of dying, Peter ask Moana sarcastically.

Yes, she blunt out, why should I die.

Kai slay one of the warriors from the back to protect Moana, focus this is battle, he run towards Kendrick both fighting Vincent, Kai cut his hand, he let go of his sword bend down to pick it up, Kai place his swordon his neck toss his sword away, surrender or die.

A warrior will rather die with honor than surrender.

Kai raise his sword to strike him, father, Edward shout running to him glaring at Kai.

He was interrogated but he insisted he did doesn't know where the princess is.

I will make you all pay for this, Vincent yell out angrily.

Do that when you leave this place, Kia respond to him grumpily.

Locking up king Vincent and his son is like we are inviting trouble, his people will not stay back and watch, you should release him your highness.

Kendrick look up at Benjamin, everyone will be held responsible until the princess is found, you also should be careful.

Lucia hide sat the back of the door listening to their conversation, she gets angry hearing Kendrick threatening her father, just wait the truth you are hiding will soon be expose. Peter stands beside Moana discussing with Kai, the king order is to find the princess but we have no clue or any hint that can lead us to where the princess is, Edward is head over heels for her, he can't possibly hide

her and with all the tortured he went through.

We should find another way to find the princess, Moana suggest, the king has given the order to find her before the end of the day.

Kai look at Moana look back at Peter, where is the girl?.

unconscious and carried her out of the castle in a big basket disguised as grains.

Where was she taken?.

I only saw them carrying her out in a basket, I didn't follow them out of the castle.

Kai fling from his sit opens the door, Peter and Moana standing outside the room waiting, take the girl back to the cell, he instruct Peter, Moana follow Kai.
