After telling Tauriel and Tuchel about their conversation with Festus and finally coming up with a plan with their help, the two young knights had made their way back to the dungeon.
This time they had gone through the forest and it was faster and easier than the normal route as there was nobody for them to hide from but in terms of length it was longer.
"Have you come to take me to Roy?" Festus' voice resounded in the dungeon as soon as they had entered.
"Yes, but nobody has to see your face until we get to the palace," Jude said.
There was no response from Festus until they saw his light coming out from the path leading to his leaving space.
"I agree with that." The light wizard said as he was putting on his black hoodie which really did a good job of hiding his face.
"Let's go," Jude said, making his way out of the dungeon as Carl quickly followed after him and then Festus.
After taking the forest route to get to the dungeon, Jude knew now that it was the best route to take but being the best route also made it the longer route.
The three made their way through the forest of Asaka and were now waiting for the right moment to get out of the forest to prevent anybody from seeing them.
Jude carefully observed the road for a while and after seeing that there was no one close by, he began to move out while giving Carl and Festus the signal to follow.
The three made their way to the Blackstone's house with their goods covering their faces.
Some people found it a little strange to see people walking with hoodies in the middle of the day but it was none of their business so they let it slide but it wasn't all of them.
Jude led them into the house through the back door and had quickly led them into his room as soon as they had entered the house.
Festus slowly pulled down his hood after entering the young knight's room.
He had a wide and cheerful smile on his face as he looked around the room.
"So this is where you guys live." The light wizard said.
"Apparently, this is my room, the whole house is out there," Jude said pointing towards the door.
"I know that," Festus said, taking his seat on Jude's bed.
"So what do we do now?" Carl asked.
Jude was about to say something when he was interrupted by Festus.
"Is your father here?" Festus asked.
"No," Jude said, shaking his head. "He recently moved his goods to a new building that he built so he goes there every day to sell his goods."
"Okay," Festus said.
Jude cleared his throat and was about to say what he wanted to say before Festus interrupted but he was interrupted again this time by knocking on the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Jude are you in there?" Felix's voice resounded from outside.
"Is that Felix?" Festus muttered.
Jude let out a sigh as he walked to the door.
'A little reunion would be nice?' He thought before pulling the door open.
"Hey, I wanted to talk to you about….."
He had paused as soon as Jude had shifted out of the way for him to get his sight on Festus who was sitting on his bed.
Felix was speechless as he stared at the light wizard, the light wizard may have looked old compared to the last time he saw him but that face was one of the few faces he could never forget.
"Festus." He couldn't even believe what he was seeing as those words left his mouth.
"Felix," Festus muttered. "You're all grown up."
Felix didn't say anything as he walked up to him, and looked at him for a while with mixed feelings of amazement and happiness before giving him a warm embrace.
"I knew you would come back," Felix said as tears formed in his eyes.
"I told you I would," Festus said softly patting him on his back.
After the nice moment of reunion between Felix and Festus, Jude filled his father in on everything that has been going on lately.
How he found Festus and what they were going to do right now.
Everything was a little too much for Felix to take in at once but he had focused his attention on one thing that Jude said.
He bit his lower lip and shook his head as he turned to the light wizard.
"I can't believe he banished you and no one told me," Felix said.
"It was for the best," Festus said.
"Why did he banish you?" Felix asked.
"We can't talk about that now Felix, Asaka is in danger and we are trying to come up with a way to save him," Felix said.
"So you think you're going to go to his castle and he's just going to accept what you guys are going to tell him without calling his guards to capture you and throw you in his new dungeon," Felix said.
"If he wants his kingdom to be safe, which I know he wants because of all the money he gets from the people then he will listen to anything we are going to tell him," Jude said.
That was a pretty solid point but Felix still had a problem with their idea.
"How are you even going to get in?" Felix asked. "His guards won't let you in and they may even demand to see his face."
"That has already been taken care of Felix, have you forgotten who I am?" Festus said, bringing up his staff.
"We have to go now, it won't be long before the sun begins to set," Jude said heading towards the door.
"See you later Felix and maybe then you can show me the wonderful woman you ended up with," Felix said getting up from the bed.
The three were about to leave when Felix called Jude.
"What?" Jude asked.
"How's your progress in finding Tania?" He asked with his face going a little red.
"We're making good progress, the only thing holding me back is what I'm about to do now," Jude said.
"Good luck," Felix said.
Jude responded with a nod as he turned and walked to Festus and Carl who were already standing outside.
"Let's go," Festus said, covering his head with his hoodie.
King Roy was sitting on his throne in his throne room lost in his thoughts but he was quickly snapped out of those heavy thoughts as he saw three men putting on hoodies enter his throne room.
"Who are you, how did you get in here without my consent?" Roy was suddenly on edge as he sprang up from his throne.
"I see you're enjoying your greedy wealth, Roy," Festus said, walking closer to him.
"Who are you?" Roy demanded as he pulled out the sword hidden in his throne and pointed it at him.
"No need to get violent, I'm here to help Roy," Festus said, pulling down his hood to reveal his face.
Roy was in awe of what he was seeing, he never thought that he would one day look at the face of this very light wizard again.
"Festus." He muttered as he felt a shiver run down his spine.
