The royal council was discusing things about protecting Avalor and dealing with Shuriki's treat. The reuinion was interrupted by the capitan of the guard, Gabe Ñunez, who gave them great news: They finally got Shuriki. The whole council went down stairs and saw with their own eyes the same sorceress, having some injuries, walking defendless among the guards. Elena was quite of angry but also was proud to see her worst enemy down. Naomi felt speechless but was happy to have the biggest treat down. Francisco simply was surprise,he didn't show neither hapiness or disgust. Esteban in the other hand, was horrorized. He was worried about Shuriki and how horrible her injuries were. Luisa felt like she was stabbed. She wanted the justice of her deceased daughter...but she found that she didn't want to hurt the responsable...something in Shuriki turned on her maternal insticts.
"Where is my scepter?" Elena smiled before beign stop by Esteban and Francisco "I can do it myself and-"
"You are not going to use that scepter" Francisco said "We're going to talk about what to do with her"
"But-" Elena tried to protest but gave a sigh instead.
Suddenly while after being pushed hardly by a guard, something in Shuriki's pocket fell off and she tried to get it back before the guards coldly smacked her and hold her tier, and bring her to the royal dugeon. Elena and her council stare at the sorceress. Francisco looked at the weird thing, which was ended to be a reliquary. He hide it in his pocket before returning with the others to the council meeting to plan how to get the three threats left.
When the night fell off, Esteban and Higgins entered into the royal dugeon and dismissed the guards. His true intentions were simple help Shuriki with her recovering after suffering such violence, and also maintain her confortable during her stance in there.
"How are you feeling" He asked her before she weakly stare at him with tears "I see"
"W-w-what are you..doing in here?" Shuriki asked weakly before Esteban and higgins entered with some stuff "did you came to torture me?"
"The opposite" Esteban said taking some medicide and bandages "I'm here to help you"
"Wh-" She cried for the pain she felt when Esteban was cleaning her scars and rolling carefully around in the body part "Why are you helping me?"
"Because I care" Esteban said continuing while Higgins was making her bed more confortable "I didn't want you to get hurt and I didn't want my family to get hurt"
"I see" She said as she weakly lied in Esteban and embrace him "You're the kindest treat I ever recieve this day"
"I bring you some food" Esteban said recieving Higgings plate of the dinner they ate "I sneak and bring it to you"
"Thank you" She said eating and drinking her food.
After helping her, Esteban also bring her some confortable clothing and kindly he lied her in her now confortable bed, where she fall asleep. Meanwhile Luisa was wondering about giving Shuriki a second chance, reforming her...it didn't seem to late to her. Francisco was looking at Shuriki's reliqualy, he saw a picture of two little girl and what seemed to be their parents...he knew somehow that was Shuriki's family.
"Have you ever had that feeling of guilt when you see someone who did something bad?" Luisa said sitting in her bed
"I don't remember" Francisco said closing the reliqualy and keep it in a cabinet
"I'm actually feeling that in Shuriki" She began to explain "Somehow...I feel like we should give her a change to redeem herself...we could reform her"
"Well" Francisco said "We better discuss this tomorrow."
The next day the royal council began their reunion after breakfast to discuss what to do with Shuriki, to Elena's anger. They discused about the crimes she comitt and what sentence they couls give her. Elena kept insisting to use her scepter, butthe council disagree with her.
"We should execute her right away" Elena protested "She need to pay for what she did to us. We just simple kill her, this is ridiculous"
"But Shuriki still a person, and we might use her as an advantage for our own victory" Esteban protested
"Are you wanting to reform that witch?" Elena looked at him disgusted "Who votes to execute Shuriki?"
Naomi raised her hand right away as Elena did. Neither of her grandparents raise their, confusing Elena.
"Who votes to reform her?" Esteban asked trying to occult his nerviosness
"I do" Luisa raised her hand,, shocking the teens. Luisa stared at Francisco and sighed "We have a tie for now"
"Abuelo" Elena said "You are the tie breaker"
Francisco had an option in his mind, but he looked back at the reliquary and changed his mind. He calmly standed up and look the council. There was a little hesitation in Francisco for a momment, but he finally decide to spoke.
"Bring the accuse tomorrow" He said "And I'll will take the decition"
