Meanwhile the new Queen (Anabel) who has just given birth and was on her way back to the castle was under attack be rebels. She hid in her tent with her baby afraid as she heard her guards screaming as they're were all being slaughtered. After awhile she couldn't hear their screams anymore, the horrifying sounds had ended. She heard foot steps marching slowly towards her tent. To her surprise it was Orion, the kingdoms most decorated swordsman and some others she recognized (Orion was the leader of these rebels and had been in hiding for years), they were all covered with the blood.
