Kathy and Amy started heading back to the castle after burying Kathy's father. They stayed at Kathy's place for two days. Her head was filled with different thoughts.
" So the people I've been calling mom and dad for years aren't my parents! and am from Brittia and not Arcadia!, Kathy you need to rest and absorb all you heard!" She said to herself.
" Kathy!, I know that this may not be too good for you, but you have to accept what your mom told you and live with it! you are the true heir to the throne of Brittia and after clocking 18 in a month, you will have the power and courage to take back what is rightfully yours!" Amy said rubbing Kathy's back trying to console her.
" Amy, do you think we need to tell Jake? you know he has lots of things to deal with, the war, Arcadia matters, and all that!" Kathy asked amy.
" I think he deserves to know and he will offer you a better chance of gaining back your throne and also protection and help!" Amy concluded.

" What is it! did you find her?" Queen lish shouted at the royal mage who just walked in into her room.
" No your Highness, but the spy you sent to Arcadia said he saw her at Arcadia, she is at the palace and is now one of the higher members of Arcadia which King Jake calls his monarch!" the royal mage of brittia said with his head facing down.
The queen immediately got up from her seat with a smirk on her face.
" So she thinks she could just run and hide in Arcadia all these years without me knowing! you have always been a naive and foolish girl, How about we pay you a little visit, Mom and Dad didn't think I could run Brittia, but here I am today and Brittia is also one of the rich kingdoms, Albert! assembly my royal carriage, we will be going to Arcadia first thing tomorrow morning!" Queen lish said looking at Albert the royal mage.
" But my Queen we can't just go to Arcadia without informing them beforehand and are you planning to kill her when you go to Arcadia, you know she is one of the monarchs of Arcadia the second most respected people of Arcadia it won't be easy and you won't go unnoticed!" Albert said with a confused look.
" Will you keep quiet and do what I ask you to do! we are not going to kill her but only going to pay her a pleasant visit to know if it is truly her and also see how Arcadia has grown, and send a message to Arcadia telling them of our coming tomorrow!" Queen lish concluded and then waved her hand for Albert the royal mage to leave, in which he complied, bowed and left.

Kathy and Amy got back to Arcadia and then not wasting time Amy told her friend to look for Jake and tell him everything.
Kathy walked towards the throne room but didn't see Jake, one of the guards told her he was in his library, so she started heading towards his library, which was few meters away from his room.
When she got to the library door, she was hesitant to knock because she so knows how he will feel when he hears the news.
After waiting for some time she then knocked, she heard him say come in like he knew she was there, it made Kathy curious as to why Jake always knows when she is at the door.
She opened the door and got in, reviewing Jake who was busy reading.
He was not reading, but he was just touching the book flipping pages so that the system could download all data stored in the books.
When he saw who entered and it was Kathy, he got up and went to her.
" Kathy you are back, how are your parents? I hope they are fine?" Jake asked.
Kathy burst out into tears, making Jake rush towards her.
" Did I say anything bad?" Jake asked himself.
" Kathy! stop crying, tell me, please what's wrong?" Jake asked hugging Kathy to console her and letting her cry on his shoulders.
After some minutes of crying, Kathy got out of Jake's arms cleaning her tears, she felt embarrassed, but what could she do she was in a bad state of mind.
" But how am I suppose to act? she asked herself.
After calming down Jake escorted her to sit and then gave her a glass of water to drink.
" Am sorry for crying and wetting your cloth, am just not in a good state and need arms to cry on!" Kathy said and immediately realized what she just said then she felt shy and embarrassed.
" You are always welcome to cry in my arms, anyway please tell me what the problem is! Jake said with concerned looks.
Kathy then went ahead to explain all that her mom told her, when she finished she waited to see Jake's reaction. He got up very angrily but Kathy told him to calm down.
" I don't want to act till after my birthday when I turn 18 which is in a month after then I would get my powers and then revenge on my evil sister and also take back my throne!" Kathy said to Jake with a courageous look. it calmed Jake down.
" You don't have to worry am in with you, you will take back what is rightfully yours, but first if you to take back your throne from The queen of Brittia, will need a plan, I heard she's dangerous and not to mess with, and that she also set up different traps for people who invade her kingdom, we will need a plan if we want to succeed!" Jake concluded. They heard a knock on the door, jake told the person to come in. It was one of the royal guards, he was holding what looks like a letter which he handed to jake. Jake signaled the guard to leave and after the guard left, he opens the letter and read it, he was full of smiles which made Kathy think he has received good news.
" Looks like we have finally gotten our plan, !" Jake said smiling more.
" What is it?" Asked Kathy looking impatient
" The Queen of Brittia, your sister has requested a visit to Arcadia tomorrow!" Replied jake. Kathy was still confused as to why he was happy.
" I don't still get how this will help us, if she is coming to Arcadia it only means she knows am alive!" Kathy said.
" Don't worry you will know when all the monarchs are gathered. Jake concluded and then called for a guard.
" Call my monarchs to assemble in the throne room for a meeting that will be conducted in 10 minutes!" Jake said to the guard and the guard left after bowing.
