Melisa, Marckel and the guard wandered in the tunnel for 5 days before finally getting to an opening, a kingdom called Athabasca. Athabasca was a peaceful kingdom like Marckel hence the sight of the lovely, joyful and peaceful kingdom gave the royalties and the guard Joy. The guard was so happy that he could rescue both the precious things in the kingdom. They set off to look for shelter even though they know no one, Athabasca being a friendly kingdom ushered them in and they were provided with a shelter without having to pay for anything. The people were so grateful and started helping out with the kingdom works to earn money to feed themselves and other miscellaneous things. Starting from the next night,the guard taught the princess how to fight, she loved the training and became better and better day by day.
One beautiful day, the king was inspecting the kingdom and saw Marckel practicing herself how to fight then he ordered his soldiers to bring Marckel to his Palace. Upon getting there she was welcomed with great love. She was very happy with the warm welcome and asked the king why he summoned a 5 years old girl to the palace, the king told her that he wants her to be part of his soldiers. The girl was asthonised and told the king that she's only 5, the king replied laughing " I know, you said that already, you are very talented you shouldn't hid your skill, I will personally train you to be the best and you can start fighting in wars when I see you are the best at what you do". Marckel thanked the king and left there, she rushed home and explained what happened to her mom, her mom was so happy thinking about how her daughter will finally defeat the witch since she will be taking fighting lessons from both the king and their guard. Starting from that day Marckel goes to the palace everyday till the evening to train and in the evening she did her training with the guard. Learning from both sides, Marckel became very strong and could endure a lot of pain as a child, her mother was so proud of the results so she said to herself " Marckel will defeat the witch sooner than I thought since she's so strong as a child", not knowing the evil that will befall the princess because of envy.
