Days passed quickly in Muffin’s kingdom. Due to the effects of time dilation, Mila slowly began to forget everything — even her parents and her own name. In the meantime, Muffin and Mila grew as close as siblings.
A few days later, Kanushi informed King Rishab and Queen Khatiya about Mila’s presence in the kingdom. The royal couple changed Mila back to her original human form, apologized for the circumstances, and gently asked her about her past — but Mila couldn’t recall any of her memories.
Touched by Muffin’s affection for Mila, the king and queen began to treat her as their own daughter.
The experts of Saharsha taught Mila both magic and warcraft. Before long, she became the perfect princess of Muffin’s Kingdom. Eventually, the king and queen officially crowned Mila as the Princess of Saharsha.
After a full day’s journey aboard the flying boat, Ethan arrived safely in Saharsha, at Mila’s palace. Since Mila had reached Saharsha via teleportation in just a fraction of a second, she had already lived nearly two years there before Ethan’s arrival.
When Ethan finally saw Mila in her palace, he tried to speak to her — but Mila cast a spell on him and imprisoned him inside a capsule-like container. Though confined, Ethan was kept in comfort and guarded by Dombo, a Bolfen Klepha — a loyal flying creature, much like a pet on Earth. Dombo could speak and behave like a human.
Meanwhile, from the Kingdom of Tortonia, a beautiful young fairy named Feba arrived at King Rishab’s court, inviting him to a grand celebration hosted by King Alamkheer Raushan, the most powerful ruler of Tortonia. The event was to honor his only son, Makar Kweento, for the successful completion of his higher education.
Enchanted by Feba’s beauty, the curious and playful children, Mila and Muffin, eagerly requested Feba to stay in Saharsha for a few days. As an official fairy messenger of Tortonia and aware of Saharsha’s time zone differences, Feba agreed.
Together, they began playing in the magical garden near Muffin’s palace, right next to the capsule where Ethan was being held.
Meanwhile, Ethan and Dombo had become close friends within a week. Ethan confided everything to Dombo — his journey, the mermaid, the ring, and the mission to find Mila. Dombo, being Muffin’s favorite guardian, was moved by Ethan’s story.
Hearing the joyful sounds of the children playing, Dombo flew to the garden. Muffin was overjoyed to see him and asked Dombo to join their play for a while.
Just then, Kanushi entered the garden, carrying an urgent message from King Rishab.
