You leave, sneak into the castle and find the princes. After seeing the gem you carry the princes tells you that an evil man is trying to collect three magical gems to unlock a secret door that holds great power. Get those gems yourself so he can't have them!
590-b: Turns out the BBEG was just waiting for you to collect the gems and open the door yourself, just so he can waltz in and take the power. You awaken seven years later to find the world ruled by said evil man and everything in ruins. Now, go use your magical sword to travel back and forth in time to awaken the seven Sages to seal his power and save the world!
(589 and 590 are different, even though they sound exactly the same.)
