"I choose mercy your excellency. Even if I have to loose my position, please, let me keep my head." The prince thus replied.

The Elven Queen, Vanya, sighed inwardly as she thought, Does this prince amout to only this much? Does he have no ego? No, his past behavior clearly disproves this. But why, why did he do this? It must clearly be to escape all the responsibility for his actions. Even I thought allegations on him were quite preposterous at first. I must punish him harshly to set an example to show others this would not stand under my rule. No matter what she thought she was indeed disappointed. If only this much pressure was enough to buckle the prince he was better of having no responsibility and as such position. He wasn't fit to be the prince. It would a favour to the prince, nay Ingwe, to relieve him of his responsibility. Thinking that The Elven Queen made her mind up and gazed Ingwe disappointingly and delivered her verdict.

"Ingwe Kelwynn, you are no longer have the right to lay claim to The throne, Now, or in the future. By the rights given to me from Iluvatar and Blessings of The World-Tree, I, Queen Vanya, hereby disown you from being the prince and from the royal family. You will no longer be considered heir to the throne. Your crimes warrant serious punishment not only because they're despicable but also to deter any fool whom thinking of the same path. Thus, I hereby ORDER you are exiled from all the Elven Kingdoms and settlements and you'll spend rest of your life in the outpost of Bony Barrack. You shall not recruit anyone to go with you. May you break any of my decree then I will sentence you to death by Agni Purification. "

Ingwe Kelwynn, now former prince, is in serious trouble of his lifetime. All the Nobles present wondered how much time former prince could last in that Godforsaken place located in dense forest. The forest around Bony Barrack were not only teeming with natural hazards of typical forest but the place was also famous for different plague carrying mosquitoes, poisonous bogs and many other unseen horror that no civilised person tolerate. All the Nobles would start betting how fast the former prince would return in body bag only if they weren't Elves.

The former prince, Ingwe Kelwynn, left the court and tried to remember whether there were any people who could help with the situation. He had still yet to come out of the shock of transmigrating and getting exiled right after it without any breather. So he decided to calm down first. In order to achieve that he looked for relatively quiet place. He sat down on the one of the benches in the quiet place of courtyard gardon and tried to recall his old-self's memories.

He must have sat on that bench for many hours as it was already dusk when he came back to his senses again. In that hours he must have been raking his head to remember any of the memories remained from previous owner or how he should solve/face the problem before him. He needed map and guide to reach Bony Barrack if he ended up accepting his punishment. Or he could simply escape and hope this world was an accepting one, and other race's would accept an Elf. He would sure hoping that this world would have an adventure guild all over the place and he could work as an adventurer. But escaping going to Bony Barack was extremely difficult as there would be no one from Elven race he could ask. If he were lucky he wouldn't get any response or get scolded, if he wasn't lucky he would be burnt alive. Finally he came to his senses as the dusk approached by calling of a feminine voice. It called out his name "Ingwe" He raised his face up to who was calling him and he noticed an elven lady coming his way and he recognised her as Serune, acquaintance of his body's previous owner.

"Lady Serune, Why are you here? And what do you want of me?" He asked the woman before him. 

"Didn't you know you have become a celebrity? First ever prince to go to Bony Barrack. It seems Elven queen finally let cat out of the bag. Although getting posted to the Bony Barrack was told to be the service a soldier can do for Elvendom, Queen is finally said out loud what everybody else already thought, It is a place for punishment. Even top brass of military can't deny it now. What will you do now? "Lady replied. 

Ingwe Kelwynn remained silent for couple of seconds then said " I have thought about it until now. I have decided to go to Bony Barrack. Would you help me acquiring some necessity to travel, also would you be so kind as to tell me the weather and other environmental conditions of and around the Bony Barrack? Please." 

" I can help you getting the travel gear and I know someone who knows about how to survive the Bony Barrack. "Seruna said. 

" Then please introduce me to the person who knows about the situation of the Bony Barrack. "

" Come along. " She started lead him to the place of bartender Garvin.
