¹⁹ He will retreat to his fortresses in his own country, but on the way he will be defeated and never again be seen.

²⁰ The next king of the north will try to collect taxes for the glory of his kingdom. However, he will come to a sudden end in some mysterious way, instead of in battle or because of someone's anger.
