That peace that accompanied her was replaced by a stormy repentance, she felt betraying God, her conscience turned to paranoia forcing her to pray many Our Fathers necessary for that guilt to abandon her, willing even to stay awake in exchange for her Lord's forgiveness, however moments later a blasphemous question stopped her... How will she know if her god forgave her?

She repentant even more she resumed her prayers convincing herself that Prince Teulfesgott had bewitched her to think like that, many rumored that the men of Ewigenacht were not only evil but also had the curse of causing the faithful women to fall into temptation .

She spent hours praying just like the servants and escorts of her chambers, the only one who had to refrain from it was King Javob for being the precursor of the ritual, otherwise the curse would fall on himself, leading him to a tortuous defeat; she, in some strange way, managed to feel for brief moments the strength of the magic of the lords of Ewigenacht but then he felt a sinister presence invading him around him. He for many years faced powerful and bloodthirsty enemies but none caused him this fear except when he was a young rookie who still did not handle his weapons well, he continued paralyzed in his chambers under the blanket of suffocating darkness that did not allow him to sleep. not only because of the fact that two terrifying individuals were in his garden but more than anything because he hadn't prayed, he used to pray every night before going to sleep so he didn't feel comfortable. His night became the worst of all unlike the ones he had in times of wars that did not compare to this one, it seemed as if the king and the prince filled his soul with fear.

Teulfesgott and Angstvorgott were pouring dark liquids on the ground surrounding the palace entrance, unaware that the countess was peering at them through a door opening until a servant girl quietly called her attention.

"Countess, for the love of God, don't expose yourself to those demons," implored the girl, carefully closing the door.

"I can't sleep, I've prayed countless times and I can't feel comfortable," Ekaterina explained with concern.

"Nobody can sleep with the presence of those nefarious beings, she was lucky that I appeared, if they had discovered her they would cast a terrible curse on her," she replied, worrying the countess even more, both decided to move away from that door preventing their presence.

The monarchs of Ewigenacht continued with the ritual invoking their ancestors until dawn, where everyone in the palace felt safe as they noticed the first rays of the sun illuminating their dark rooms, disappearing the gloomy tension. King Jacob left his rooms exhausted after not being able to sleep all night, Teulfesgott and Angstvorgott entered the hall, the king went to his room and sat on his throne waiting for them while he took his gold rosary adorned with various diamonds. his chest and began to pray the Our Father that he should have avoided last night, which fortunately he managed to finish just when the king and the prince entered.

Both bowed before him, who without further ado asked for details about what had been agreed.

- It is done? Did they get what I asked of them? He asked anxiously.

"Yes, your majesty, all the evils that try to enter this kingdom will be eliminated," answered King Angstvorgott with confidence, relieving King Jacob, who immediately sent one of his butlers to deliver the chest of gold coins as payment, one of the guards of the monarchs of Ewigenacht received it from the trembling hands of the butler terrified before one of the men of the demon land.

"May this favor not be named anywhere else king Angstvorgott and prince..." implored the king stopping at the end not because he was ignorant of the young man's name but because he still did not accept the fact that Ewigenacht would continue the dynasty.

"I am Prince Teulfesgott The Antichrist," he replied with a devilish smile on his face, frightening King Jacob since he had heard that nickname for a long time both in the Bible and in his kingdom. He was aware that King Angstvorgott was baptized as "The Evil One" and that in his kingdom there was someone nicknamed "The Antichrist" but he never expected to have him face to face.

"I had... I had heard of someone belonging to Ewigenacht baptized with that name but I never believed that it was a prince," he replied, puzzled.

King Angstvorgott was baptized long ago as "The Evil One" of which he was never ashamed of it and also all the chaplains warned of a man from Ewigenacht who they called "The Antichrist" but he never imagined that he would be in front of him so soon.

"Do not be afraid in my presence, your majesty, as long as you do not try anything against us, your life will not be in danger," added the prince, arousing the anger of King Jacob, believing that he said it as a threat, who immediately took courage and got up from his chair. throne alarming his guards.

"How dare you, insolent! - the king shouted while his guards were put on the defensive with their swords as well as the guards of the king and the prince when suddenly one of the huge candles of an altar of Jesus Christ fell on the immense curtain of the window next to King Jacob burning immediately. His guards put out the fire with the holy water from the same altar, which disturbed him more than he was until King Angstvorgott calmly gave him the last clarification about him.

"That's the way things are my king, if we fall you will too," he said with his sarcastic smile, King Jacob ended up so upset that he needed to sit on his throne to recover.

The king and the prince made a last bow and left with their payment only that next to the great door they met Countess Ekaterina who immediately lowered her gaze before them, because the maid who "helped" her at dawn advised her that the best way to not be bewitched by them again is not to look them directly in the eye, but despite that notable lack of respect, the prince did not hesitate to take her hand to give her that same loving greeting from yesterday, she could not resist, again she ended up captivated by him until they were interrupted when the same maid dropped a tray with food for King Jacob. A butler began his scolding while she was picking up the remains from the floor. To her surprise, King Angstvorgott bent down to help her, also picking up what was left on the floor. The young woman was paralyzed before that demonic man who, like the countess, was incredulous when she felt the touch of the king's hands that were neither cold nor rough. When he finished collecting everything, he rejoined with the tray and helped the young woman up who kept staring at him even with some mistrust, he handed it over to her and she ran to the kitchen with the butler.

The countess could not believe how someone from royalty would have such courtesy with the servants, however they had to leave, so the prince left without being able to kiss the countess on the hand, who felt despondent as she saw them walking away little by little. disappearing into that long corridor. Ekaterina for a moment believed that the maid's advice worked, she should be relieved but she, she wished inside that she had been kissed by him.
