With the intervention of Aerin, the mystical white fox, Princess Eve regained her memory. On the same night, she suffered from a fever. She was burning up.
Alaric took care of her, watching her over until dawn. He never left her side, just hugging her in his arms.
Gideon was left alone to be on a guarding duty. He also didn't want to disturb the married couple inside the carriage.
However, Princess Eve had a nightmare. She vividly recalled what happened in the Moonshade Grove Forest.
[ Flashback ]
Young Eve stood frozen in her spot. Alaric handed her over to Queen Amara. She wanted to tell Alaric but she didn't find the courage to speak up.
As Alaric turned around, Eve extended her right hand as though she wanted to grab him, stopping him from leaving her alone.
'No! Please don't go. Don't leave me here. She is not my mother. You've made a mistake!'
