"I don't know, why does it feel like my body can't be moved? It doesn't hurt, it's more like numbness. Yes, I can't feel anything anymore. Am I dead? Is this like death?"
"Nathania ... Nathania ... wake up, Nathania!"
"Who? who called me? who was there?"
"Nathania, wake up! what's happening, Nathania?"
"Haaah ...?"
Nathania immediately opened her eyes as a dazzling light seemed to drag her from a very dark place. Her body shivered, cold sweat running down her forehead and neck.
"Nathania?" asked Nathan who was standing by the bed.
"Na ... than?" she muttered in a faint voice. Seeing Nathan's face, Nathania lifted her head slowly even though the pain in her body made her grimace at once.
"Ugh ..."
"What are you doing? you don't have to get up, just lie down!" Nathan said as he helped his sister lie down again.
Nathania felt very dizzy and nauseous, the world seemed to spin very fast every time she tried to move. Nathan frown
All the fear spreading in this room carried a bad feeling about the catastrophe that might happen in the future. After all, the Lithonia ancestors strongly opposed any form of cooperation with demons, whatever the reason.For thousands of years the devil has been the main enemy of mankind and the Great Gods have fought against demons and locked them in the bowels of the earth and the only devil who has managed to get out of that cage is the demon king, Diavolos.King Roderick seemed to understand their restlessness, because in the history of Lithonia there had been several battles with demons. The only one who can suppress their tremendous power is the king of Lithonia as the owner of divine power."The meeting this time we close here!" said the King as he got up from his throne. However, it seemed that the meeting without producing a solution was not what they had hoped for."Yo ... Your Majesty, is there nothing we can do to prevent the worst?" asked Count
With a suspicious gaze, Sheera stepped over to her and studied her at a closer distance. Nathania trembled even more, even though she herself didn't know what would happen if her identity became known."I don't know who you really are, but I won't let you get close to Aiden by causing him more pain!""I really don't know what you're saying! I didn't do anything to him, really!""Go!""Bu ... but, I ...""I told you, don't ever come to this forest again! you seem stubborn, huh?""But, I promised him that I would come ...""Go! Aiden isn't here, he's gone!""Go where?""To the blessing ceremony. Do you understand now? If you still don't understand, I'll kill you!""I ... I'll go! see you!" Nathania immediately left after receiving threats.With brisk strides, Nathania traversed the forest towards the entrance to the place where Boni was waiting for her."Blessing ceremony? what does that mean? did Aiden return to
Nathania was touched to hear what Kenneth said to her and when her head was rubbed gently like that, for some reason her feeling was much calmer. As if there was magic filling her head.Kenneth smiled gently, trying to convince Nathania that she had done everything she could to make everyone proud of her. Although not everyone can appreciate her efforts, Kenneth is different. Yes, he is different."Thank you, Kenny ...""Do you feel touched? I just want you to know, that you are very valuable. So, you don't need to feel inferior just because you can't be the best yet. Because from the start, The Crown Prince Of Lithonia is the best!" Kenneth chuckled. It seems that he has done his job as a teacher very well.Nathania's sadness was much less, she did not think that she would receive encouragement from a teacher who she did not like so much because she was too strict and disciplined. However, it seems that the good relationship is already going on without Natha
Owen took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. After Captain Gavin finished his speech, it seemed that the would-be soldiers were feeling increasingly uneasy about their success rate in the last test.Around him, Owen saw so many strong and talented people who made him feel that he was not worthy of competition. The words that Joan said at that time came back into his mind."Do you think you can competing with all of them? do you think you are that strong?""Tsk, damn! why did I hear that bastard? he's just jealous because his body is not as strong as mine. No, I can definitely pass the test this time too, I'm sure!" he thought.Meanwhile, Nathania who visited headquarters today can't wait to meet Owen and tell him what to say, just as Kenneth told her."I'm going to the toilet first!" she said who suddenly stopped walking in the middle of the corridor. The two soldiers who were guarding her immediately stopped walking."I will escort Your Majesty!"
The silence that had occurred after Nathania's departure from this room slowly disappeared when their attention began to focus on Owen who did not budge where he stood."Owen, how did you become Prince Nathan's friend?""Yeah right, are you a noble?""Great, you are friends with the crown prince. How come? I'm so jealous!"The would-be soldiers surrounded Owen, asking incessant questions about his relationship with the crown prince. In fact, Owen had expected this would happen if people found out about the almost impossible friendship between him and the future king in this country.However, somehow Owen was never ready for that. Especially about how people would underestimate him and judge that he wasn't worthy of talking to the crown prince if he wasn't a noble.Owen raised his head which had been bowing embarrassedly while swallowing hard. Seeing the questionable gazes shining in the eyes of his comrades in arms, it was impossible for him to re
Nathan gave a threatening look which made Nathania unable to move. She didn't understand why she was so helpless every time Nathan cornered her like this. In fact, everything she did was for Nathan's recovery. However, no matter how explained it was when it came to his safety, Nathan would not want to understand."I didn't do anything, believe me!""Really? you really didn't do anything?" Nathan was getting worse. His eyes barely even blinked just to observe his sister."I didn't do anything! why don't you believe it, Nathan?" the more cornered, the harder Nathania defends her answer. Because she knew, being honest and telling what had happened to Nathan would only add to the trouble for her.Seeing the twinkle in Nathania's eyes, Nathan suppressed his aggression a little, although he still did not believe that Nathania was not involved in it."Okay, I understand. But, that doesn't mean I trust you. Maybe you think you can trick me like you trick everyo
"Wha ... what? wife? bu ... but, how come?" Nathania was very surprised to hear Aiden's words regarding her current status as a wife.This was a very hard thing to believe because she didn't expect something like this to happen. However, Aiden seemed completely unencumbered by what he had just said. He calmly walked over to leave Nathania who was still sitting weakly on the ground with all the questions filling her head."Aiden, please explain to me! how can I be your wife?" she did not accept being ignored and immediately stopped Aiden with the same question.Aiden stopped walking and turned around, looking at Nathania who was still motionless behind him. Aiden stared coldly with his demonic eyes, the image of the cruelty he had just committed was still visible on his face, like dried blood that made an impression on his clothes."Do you want to protest?" asked Aiden expressionlessly. Nathania shivered, Aiden's face looked displeased after receiving a protes
Her eyes were open, aiming for the ceiling of her room. Nathania sighed, oddly, she could still feel Aiden's scent around her. The scent of the leaves was very fresh, making her heart feel calm.Slowly, Nathania lifted her head after completely recovering her consciousness. Nathania still feels a little pain in her chest due to the wedding rituals that just happened. The emblem of a pair of wings with demon horns sealed on her chest which made her officially the empress of the Demon Lord incarnate."Aiden?" Nathania muttered. Every time she thought about Aiden, her heart started pounding again. What happened during the night was something she could hardly think of. They hugged and kissed all night long until they fell asleep.One of her half-sisters, Princess Mary, married a nobleman when she was 14 and gave birth to a son when she was not yet 16 years old. Her mother, Queen Alexandra married her father, King Roderick at the age of 15 and at that time the father wa
