⟨ THIAGO’S CHAMBER ⟩
In Thiago’s room, Supriya tried to kiss Thiago, but he resisted.
“What’s wrong Thiago?” She asked.
“I want you to tell me the truth, did you do it?” He asked.
“Do what?” She asked innocently.
“Don’t give me that fake innocent look of yours, because I’m not going to buy it, you had Narmada poisoned and pin the blame on Tatiana, right?” Thiago asked
“And what makes you think I am the master mind behind what happened to Tatiana?”.
“Because I know you so well Supriya. You act rashly when it comes to me. And since I complimented on her beauty you must have done that to get her out of the picture” Thiago said.
“Since you know I’m obsessed with you, then you shouldn’t have said anything about her beauty” Supriya said.
“I was right. It was all your doings, what were you thinking Supriya?”
“I know I wasn’t thinking straight, but Narmada is not going to die, she is going to wake up after 48 hours, and as for Tatiana, you want to know if she has magic powers, right?”.
“And where is this heading to?” He asked.
“Tatiana’s head will be chopped off under the moonlight tonight, if your suspicion about her is correct that she has magical powers, she is going to save herself from dying”.

⟨ THE PALACE’S DUNGEON ⟩
Tatiana’s cries could be heard, as she talks to both Kira and Zelda.
“I didn’t do it Zelda, I will never poison Narmada” She said crying.
“I know that Tatiana, Prince Waylon is trying to convince the king that you are innocent, but the King is paying deaf ears to him” Zelda said said.
“How is Narmada doing?” She asked with a crying voice.
“She is going to wake up after 48 hours” Kira said, and Tatiana nods her head crying silently. Her robe was stained with her own blood, if not for Waylon who asked them to stop the whipping, she will have been getting whipped at the clock moves its hand.
Zelda saw the blood in her robe and held her hand from outside the dungeon. “I’m sorry Tatiana” He said.
“Why are you being sorry, Zelda?” Tatiana asked.
“Because I can’t do anything to save you, and that hurts me so much” Zelda said still holding her hand.
Tatiana slowly took her hand from him, cleaning the tears that keeps falling down her eyes.
“Is not your obligation to save me Zelda, so don’t apologize to me. If is my fate to die tonight, I am going to say accept it” Tatiana said and thick tears falls down her eyes.
“Don’t say that Tatiana” Kira said already crying.
“If I die tonight, please look for my best friend, her name is Swati, you should tell her that I love her so much, and to my aunt Manisha, tell her I’m sorry for giving her headaches all the time” Tatiana said crying.
“I’m going to find a way to save you Tatiana, I won’t let you die, that’s a promise” Zelda said and leaves.
“Tatiana” Kira said sniffing back her tears.
“You should leave too, before someone sees you here, I don’t want you to be in danger because of me” Tatiana said, and Kira hesitated, before she finally left.
Tatiana sits on the ground inside the dungeon, crying.
“Cheng if you can hear, please come save your bride, your bride is in danger Cheng, please come and save me” Tatiana said sobbing.

⟨ NIGHT ⟩
The compound of the palace was filled with fire light sticks, as they were about to witness Tatiana being killed, by cutting off her head. The King was present, like wise Queen Anjali and Queen Vanya, including Thiago, Harlow and Supriya too.
Jai was banned from watching the scene, because of his age, so while others were about witnessing Tatiana’s death, he was told to be in his room, never to come out.
Tatiana was brought out by some bodyguards, and she has tears all over her eyes, as she was being tied to a chair in the center of the palace.
Harlow and Supriya had a satisfactory smile on their face, while Thiago was patiently waiting to see if Tatiana was going to save herself through magic. As for Zelda and Waylon, both were crying since they couldn’t save the woman they love.
The man in charge of cutting off Tatiana’s head, stood in front of her, sharpening his sword with another sword, with a killing smirk on his face.
*Cheng please I need you* Tatiana said inwardly as more tears falls down her eyes.
✨✨✨
Back in the cottage where Cheng stays, his heart has been hurting non-stop, and he felt someone was calling for him.
“Why does my heart ach do much?” He muttered, holding hid chest and that was when he notice it was pass the time that Tatiana always comes to see him
“Why is she not here? Ouch!” He muttered in pain as his heart aches again.
He closed his eyes, trying to see what Tatiana was doing since he knows how she smells like, and his eyes went wide-open when he saw in his version that Tatiana was in danger and was also calling for him.
“Tiana” He muttered her name, clenching his fingers, and in a blink of an eye, he teleported out from the cottage.
✨✨✨
Tatiana closed her eyes, ready to accept her fate of dying, when Cheng landed in the palace. He automatically transformed into a demon, with his eyes burning red, and dark flames circulating around him, and the fire sticks went off instantly.
The screaming and running of the palace maids and bodyguards, made Tatiana opened her eyes, and sees Cheng burning in rage of anger.
He looked at the man who was about to cut off Tatiana’s head, and just a move of Cheng’s eyes, branches from trees flew out the trees in the palace and pierced inside his stomach.
“What did heck did you just do!!” Thiago shouted, and a snap of Cheng’s finger, send Thiago flying to the wall.
“Thiago!!!” Queen Anjali screamed going to where he was.
Cheng teleported to where Tatiana was and loose the ropes tied around her. “Sorry I’m late” He said carrying her in a bridal style and more tears falls down Tatiana’s eyes, as she wrapped her hands around his neck.
“What are you waiting for, arrest that demon!!!” Queen Anjali shouted, holding Thiago who was still unconscious.
“If you want to die, then try coming near me” He said with six voices, and the bodyguards instantly dropped their swords.
