In the throne room, the elders, shaken and angry, watched the guards throw the boy to the ground.

The Huachi Elder with the mustaches confronted him upon seeing him.

-Trey-choor-oos and coorsed hyooman, how dare yoo dee-seeve us just to steal the poor-een-suss!

-In-sool-ent, we should have executed yoo when yoo arrived! -said another.

-What else could we have expected from a hyooman.

The guards pushed Kaleb to his knees, then with a spear they made him raise his head.

Kaleb heard heavy footsteps behind him, accompanied by a mighty roar.

When he turned, he saw the king approaching furiously, hissing at every step. When he saw him, he raised the hook that he had for a hand and shouted in a threatening manner:

-Ca'dor Shckaaaaaa!

The guards made him turn to face the king, while other grabbed his arms to immobilize him.

King Huachi stood in front of the boy. His footsteps made Kaleb feel a slight tremor in the ground.

-Please, let me explain, I didn't want to hurt her! I...

The King did not seem to listen. With a furious movement the tremendous huachi raised his great hook. Everything was happening so fast, and Kaleb couldn't help but close his eyes, waiting for the inevitable.

However, something stopped the King dead. It was a scream that also caused Kaleb to open his eyes again.

The voice was Nango, who was running towards them pursued by three guards. The King yelled something to the princess but she ignored him. She dodged the guards escorting her and slipped under her father's legs until she reached Kaleb. Once there she took one of the spears that was pointed at Kaleb and she used it to hit the guard who was holding it and then threatened the other one.

She stood up and defied the king herself. She opened her arms protecting the human boy.

Nango yelled something at her father and he yelled at her in annoyance. Nango answered him as she fiercely held the spear.

-Ki'cha... I'ht Shomoyei.
