LORD HAT'S SANCTUARY.
"Well, you have chosen to die, pour it on him!" Lord-Hat ordered San as he carries the pot of molten iron that is still so hot and they are to pour it on his head.
Only the heat alone coming out that pot can damage somebody's skin, so David was so much deeper in pain as he keeps shouting "No...! no...! please I don't know what you are talking about!" He screams loudly.
But San is already releasing the molten iron on him but Amelia stopped him.
"Wait! wait...! I think he is telling the truth!" Amelia shouted as Lord-Hat stares at her and San halted.
"What do you mean by he is telling the truth? and how did you know that he is telling the truth?" Lord-Hat asked and Amelia sniffs.
"Well, I don't know, but come on if he has an idea he could have told you since, take a look at him" Amelia said as she stares at David, who looked so dirty and some part of his body are already peeling because of the torture he is passing through.
"Why would he choose to die instead of telling you? besides, he looks innocent" Amelia said as San looks at Lord-Hat waiting to know what he has to say because it's only him whose has the order to command.
"Of course, he must have chosen to die instead betraying his mother, kill him" Lord-Hat said as he tries to walk away but Amelia interrupted again.
"Oh wait!!!" Amelia shouted and Hat turned and gazes at her.
"My Lord...? come on! he is innocent, he is telling the truth and he doesn't know! you of all people should know that Zara is not that stupid to tell him"
"Because she knew that a day like this will surely come, and besides she's a very wise woman, and killing him does not give you any benefit rather than calling a war from Zara" Amelia said looking directly at Hat.
"But I am not afraid of Zara..." Lord-Hat said and Amelia nodded.
"Oh yes I know that you are not afraid of her and that is not what I am trying to say, I'm just saying that it will give you no value because you would lost so much after Zara's attack, even your life as well"
"Then what's the value of killing him? absolutely nothing..." Amelia said as she widens her hands and then Lord-Hat looks at David once again.
"But he would be of no use to me" Lord-Hat said and Amelia nodded.
"Yes, but this will call Zara's attention to this place and you can take what you want from her directly" Amelia said and Hat gazes at her for a while and saw so much sense in what she's saying.
"Let him live! continue torturing him" Lord-Hat said and then began to walk away with Amelia.
"Amelia you have always been a wise woman since I have known you" Lord-Hat said as she smiled briefly.
"Thank you, but I think I have to be with my daughters now, they will be expecting my presence, and once I am done with them, I will show up" Amelia said as Lord-Hat smiles and kisses her hand.
"I will be expecting you, Mistress" He said and then Amelia left to see her daughters.

Anna already asleep, it was just Favour that was still awake sitting on top of the bed gazing at nothing.
The door opened and her eyes flashed at the entrance and it was her mum and she quickly stood up from the bed as it appears that she had something serious in mind which she was waiting to ask her.
"Mother!? what was he talking about when he meant that he had been asking you for something, and what did you discuss with him after we left?" Favour asked as Amelia took in a deep breath.
"Favour, I know that you will surely ask about this, I know that you will be waiting for me, but trust me whatever I am doing, it is for our own benefit, you and your sister's benefit" Amelia responded while Favour waves her head.
"That was not the question I asked! mother what was he requesting from you?" Favour asked and Amelia silently sat beside her little daughter and began smooching her hair while she was sleeping.
"Well, if you must know... he wants me to come to his chamber" Amelia said as Favour chuckles.
"Come on, you must be joking mother, you are not going there right?" Favour asked as Amelia coughs in response.
"No mother, you must be kidding me! what the hell are you doing! sleep with that old stinking man!!!?" Favour yelled at her.
"Favour....!! what's wrong with you? you should understand that you are in his fort!! he accepted us! please don't make it a living hell for us!" Amelia said as Favour gives out a ridiculous smile and began walking up and down the room restless.
Then Amelia approached her "Favour, I know that you are not in support of this but you should trust Your Mother! you should know that I am not doing this for nothing" Amelia said as Favour stares at her.
"Then what are you doing it for? it's obviously for nothing! what else..? he will just have to sleep with you and then allow us stay here while he keep using you to satisfy his sexual urge!!? what else?!!" Favour asked.
"Favour, David is their prisoner, they were the one that took David from you" Amelia said as Favour stares at her with her eyes widely opened.
"David...? David is here?" Favour asked being so surprised and concentrated. 
"Yes, and that's the reason why I must go into that chamber, we have to free ourselves from this bondage of Zara"
"We have to stop living in fear, Jade was right afterall, but I ignored all her warnings but she's right though" Amelia said as she swallows her saliva.
"A Mistress like me have to run away from my Sanctuary because of fear... all we have to do now to restore our peace back is to take David back to his mother and that's all" Amelia added while Favour leaks her lips nodding according her words.
"Hmm? so how the hell are we going to do that? isn't that dangerous as well?" Favour asked. 
"Of course it is, and that's why you must not stop me from going to the chamber," Amelia said as she opens the door of the room and looks outside in other to be sure that there is no other attached ear hearing their discussion.
And so there was no one around and she locked up the door and approached closer to Favour.
"I will murder him inside his chamber" Amelia whispered as Favour waves her head.
"No mother, that will be too risky for... we..." She was saying and Amelia interrupted here.
"Favour there are no more risk that is higher than the one we are already into, we have to get ourselves out of that now that we have the chance to, and this is the only opportunity"
"All you just have to is to be quiet in here with your sister, after I kill him, I will come to let you know, then we will go distract San and once I distract him you will take David and get away"
"Then I will come to carry your sister and meet you up, okay? that's the plan! stick with it" Amelia whispered while Favour nods at her.
"I will do just as you said Mother" She responded and then Amelia hugs her and rubs her hair.

PARADISE-REGAINED
Zara is inside the veranda when a car drives into the fort and she quickly walk towards it because she is very sure that must be Scar.
And setting her eyes on the vehicle, it was truly him "Scar!!" She called as she rushed him and just approaching she held on when she noticed that Scar was covering someone at the car with a wrapper.
"No... don't tell it's David..? what happened to him?" She said as she quickly rushed and opened the wrapper just to discover that it was someone she doesn't doesn't even know.
"Scar? where is David?" Zara asked as Scar took in a deep breath and then she noticed that he had injury on his legs but she doesn't even care about that for now.
So she ignored that waiting for Scar to give her an answer "The girl, I don't know if she's dead or not but I think she has idea where David may be" Scar said as Zara examines the girl again.
"Isn't she dead already?" Zara asked following Jade's appearance and Scar waves his head "I don't know"
"Olivia call me Stella! immediately!" Zara ordered and Olivia bows and left immediately and in just a few minutes she arrived.
Without waiting for order Stella approached the unconscious body which must be the reason why she was invited here.
"Umm... Mistress... I think she's dead already" Stella said after examining Jade and Zara yelled at her.
"Don't dare repeat that! she cannot be dead because it's only she that has the idea of David's whereabout! you must do everything in your power to bring her back to life! under must!! do you understand that?!!" Zara yelled as Stella nods fearfully.
"Now, take her to your clinic...! the both of you over there!! help her!!" Zara shouted referring to two of her guards and they approached immediately and lifted Jade and helped take her to Stella's clinic.
