Nathania looked down, hiding her blushing face. After unconsciously uttering love lines to this demon in the form of a wolf. At this time she expected Aiden not to hear what she said just a moment ago.
As Nathania wanted, Aiden didn't flinch and act cold as usual as if he didn't hear what Nathania said or he pretended not to hear it, seeing Nathania who was nervous and acting strange.
Aiden walked towards his tree house, ignoring Nathania who was still transfixed with her heart beating very fast.
"A ... Aiden!" seeing Aiden who was about to leave, Nathania spontaneously called him.
Aiden stopped walking and looked back, glaring at Nathania. Seeing Aiden's gaze, the awkward Nathania lowered her head again.
"What's wrong?"
"I ... that, I want to say thank you for helping me. Thank you, Aiden!" she said. Aiden didn't answer and didn't seem to care much about Nathania's gratitude.
This cold-hearted young man resumed his steps, ignoring Na
"Aiden, stop it!" shouted Sheera who came just before Aiden tore Nathania's neck with his sharp teeth.Sheera jumped from the top of the tree and immediately hugged Aiden's back from behind before Aiden changed his target. Light emerged from Sheera's palm which held Aiden tightly. She tried to get rid of the darkness that surrounded Aiden, suppressing his ferocious demon side.Slowly, Aiden's body returned to human. Nathania was stunned, she did not think Sheera could do something so extraordinary to Aiden and indirectly saved her from a terrible death.After his body returned to his full human form, Aiden looked limp. He lost his energy and immediately fell limp with a gasping breath. His face was pale, cold sweat ran all over his body and Aiden looked very sick."Ugh ..." Aiden grimaced. Nathania's strong instincts immediately tried to help Aiden even though a few minutes ago she almost died in his hands."Aiden ... you're all right ...""Stop t
"Is that so? I understand, it's okay, go away!""You ... will be fine, won't you? will you really be okay if I leave?""You don't have to think about me, just go away!""Is that so? then, will this mark on my chest disappear?""No!""Wh ... why?""The mark will disappear when I die!""What? what did you say?""I told you that we are married and it can only be canceled if I kill you!""So, what will happen if I leave you?""You'll be fine, you don't have to be afraid!""Really? but, how about you? will you be okay?" she asked. Aiden turned around and started walking away without answering Nathania's question."Aiden, you will be fine, right? Aiden ...!" Aiden did not budge even though Nathania kept shouting and asking him, he continued his steps.Stubborn Nathania hates being ignored as she asks and decides to follow Aiden to force him to answer her questions."Aiden! tell me, will you be okay?" Natha
"What's with your face and neck? why are you bandaged? are you hurt again?" asked Queen Alexandra when she saw the state of her daughter who was often injured lately."Just a small wound, it's nothing to worry about!""You fell off the horse again? how come you fell so many times? aren't you able to ride a horse well?" question after question angled the empress again, remembering how stubborn her daughter was."I'm just a little clumsy, can we change the subject? I know you don't really worry about me, mom!""What are you saying?""You're only worried if the king asks, why I got hurt when I didn't do anything?""Why are you being so rebellious? what are you really doing? you're hiding something from me that's why you're trying to find an excuse so I don't find out, is that right? do you want to be a cunning girl?""Aren't you the one who taught me to be a cunning woman, Mother? have you forgotten, how I could be like this and deceive everyon
Her eyes glanced around, while stealthily walking so that no one caught her wandering around without escort outside the palace. The only target aimed at is Owen who has officially joined the ranks of the soldier.Not finding Owen anywhere, Nathania decides to return to the meeting room because it could be a problem if she doesn't return as soon as possible."Looks like Owen isn't here! alright, I'll just go back!" she muttered, leaving the last place she had searched, the rear headquarters building, right by the large square."What are you doing here, Your Majesty?" asked Samuel who was standing right behind her.Nathania immediately turned her head when she realized Samuel was nearby. Samuel stood up straight with cold eyes and a flat face. To be honest, it made her a little afraid of Samuel."Sam, what are you doing here too?""His Majesty asked me to look for you because you were away too long and I met your two bodyguards. It seems they have c
"What do you think? doing stupid things like that and making everyone look down on you! too much, you really too much, Nathania!" Queen Alexandra has been shouting angrily at her daughter since this afternoon's incident which forced Nathania to prostrate in front of her father.Nathania was silent, she felt she didn't have the energy to answer her mother's angry anger, especially when Lady Valerie teased her as a useless empress."Oh ... God, what should I do? what wrong have I done to make something like this happen to me!" she said crying hysterically.Diana and Helena who stood by her side tried to calm her down, even though they felt much more concerned about Nathania's situation."Knock ... knock ... knock ..." someone knocked on the door, the Queen immediately stopped her crying."Who?" exclaimed the Queen."Me, Nathan!""Come in, honey!"Nathan opened the door and entered with a flat face. He already knew what had happened and i
"Sorry, I was crying like this!""Hahaha ... it's okay! I understand, you are very impressed with my words, right?" she said teasingly, so that Judy wouldn't have to think about it."Prince Nathan can always make a girl flutter,""What?""I... I mean, Prince Nathan is very popular among young girls, right?" Judy who almost showed her feelings, immediately changed the subject."Really? I don't know!" she answered innocently."Of course, don't you get lots of letters from noble girls and princesses from other kingdoms too?""Letters? I never got them!" Nathania never felt that she got a letter from anyone. Because of that she was confused, why Judy said that?"So ... so, you don't know, Your Majesty?""No!""Ho ... how is this? are the letters deliberately hidden so Prince Nathan doesn't know? what should I do if Prince Nathan becomes curious about those letters?""Did you see the letters that were sent to me, Judy?" ju
Her father, mother and grandmother were silent, looking at her with disbelief at what she just said. Nathania says she wants to spend more time with her father, the taste is much different from what it seems.During this time she was always nervous when dealing with her father, they never even spent time alone between father and son. Their relationship is nothing more than a formality, not a picture of the real family."Nathan, what are you saying?" asked the Queen Mother who was a little shocked at her statement."Did I say something wrong?""Nathan, you ...""No! you didn't say anything wrong. If that's what you want, you can do it!""Really, Father? are you going to take me hunting or fishing in the river?" she said excitedly."Nathan, what are you saying? how could you possibly want to hunt with the king?" The Queen tried to warn Nathania of her exaggerated request through her eyes. However Nathania ignored her.King Roderick took
"All right, I'll listen!""I'm really sorry that I just told you now, I just didn't know how to start. Mother always warned me not to make you nervous for the sake of your health condition, so ...""So?""So, I had to hide it from you for years. Really, I'm sorry!" Nathania lowered her face, reluctant to look into Nathan's eyes who she knew was watching her at the moment."I thought you would try to make excuses again as usual!""No! this time I'll tell you. Six years ago I met a girl named Judy, the daughter of a maid who lives in the palace. She was my first friend, when you were sick and I couldn't visit you, I always met her. We meet in the garden, arrange flowers and share stories. Judy told me that she came from a very beautiful village, there are rivers, mountains and waterfalls in her village. Since then I dreamed to be able to see mountains and waterfalls too. One day, Judy and I found a secret door at the very back of the palace,"
Nathania and Keith were silent for a moment, trying to guess what really happened to Aiden. They knew, just because Aiden didn't seem to be chasing them anymore didn't mean they were completely safe. Who will know what will happen next?"Alright, we have no choice but to go in and find out what's really going on!" Keith said. His eyes glanced into the cave which looked very dark from the outside. Yet he had a hunch that they would find answers to the questions that were running through their heads.Seeing Keith's earnestness, Nathania realized that she had to be strong. Even though her little heart still couldn't accept that the sacred treasure had disappeared, she had no choice but to examine it herself."Okay, come on!" She said confidently.They stepped cautiously into the cave, through the eerie darkness. The cave was completely dark as they had expected, but as they stepped further in, a bright blue light began to clearly fill the cave which looked l
"Is it true?" Keith smiled. Seeing Nathania who was so worried about him. Somehow it made him very grateful that he survived.Keith gripped Nathania's hand tightly, the pounding in his chest made him believe that there was still hope for his love to be reciprocated. However, compared to his passionate love, the desire to save the world was much greater, seeing the earnestness in Nathania's eyes.They had been running for 30 minutes and there was no sign of Aiden chasing them. Seeing Nathania's very pale and exhausted face, Keith thought that they should rest, especially since the sky was getting dark."Are you okay?" Keith asked. He stopped in his tracks. Beside him, Nathania was panting with cold sweat running down her body.Nathania nodded, she tried to force herself even though her body was pushing her to give up and rest."I... I'm fine! There's no need to worry!""You're not fine, we should rest now!" Keith pulled her hand towards the r
"Ugh... I can't walk anymore!" Nathania sat limply, after walking through the dense forest to find the cave.She knew from the start that it was impossible to catch up with Aiden, she was too timid to fight him. Although she had intended to use her power. However, considering the risk that would arise from her inability to control her powers, Nathania gave up.Keith had fought, fought with all her might and even sacrificed her own life to get her to this place and now, again she was taking on the role of a useless loser."Hiks ..." tears welled up in her eyes. She hated herself so much. Whenever bad luck happened to her, she would definitely blame herself for having to live by taking on such a huge role like this. Being a savior is not her dream, being a world hero should not be her responsibility. However, she was forced to do all of this."Nathan ... why? why?"Nathania was tight in her chest, the pain she was trying to endure. Nathan's face, Kei
Aiden arrived in front of a large cave. His eyes glanced at the holy scroll he had snatched from Keith and opened it to confirm that he was really in front of the cave where the shrine was."Right, this is the place!" he thought. Aiden stepped slowly into the mouth of the dark cave.When his feet just set foot into the cave, he was greeted by small glowing creatures flying in the cave. The light from their bodies brightened the dark cavern and the blue crystals that filled the walls and ceiling of the cave looked extremely sparkling.Aiden was sure that he was one step away from the divine treasure. Freeing himself from Diavolos' curse, that was his goal. Aiden knew that his mind and soul had been controlled, therefore it was impossible for him to resist Diavolos' wishes."You see? just a step away, that way you can be as free as you want!" he said."Aiden, you are truly amazing! I've been waiting for this moment for so long and only you can make i
Nathania jumped down the cliff by relying on the vines as a handle to keep her from falling."Sraaakkk...""Aaagh..." Her feet slipped on the damp ground. Nathania fell several meters before her feet landed on the ground."Ugh..." She winced as she fell to the ground. This is really bad, her legs are too sore to move. If she didn't find the cave quickly, then Aiden would definitely catch up with her.Nathania got up slowly with pain all over her body. She could not believe that she would dare to jump from up there without a rope or preparation, just relying on the plants and trees around her."Damn, my leg hurts so bad! How is it? If I don't find the cave soon, Aiden will find it first!" She thought. Nathania looked up, trying to watch for any sign of Aiden's presence.She didn't know if Keith was currently still fighting against Aiden and was buying time like he said? however, the outburst made her unsure that Keith would be okay. Nathania
“Do you think I and the other ministers are allowed to hide or run away? You are wrong to think that we are that selfish. It's true, there are so many selfish people who will definitely save themselves, I think it's only natural. If I could, I also wanted to run away and get out of here, getting my family as far away as possible so we could be safe. I don't care if you all have to die to buy time until help arrives. Yes, that's if I become part of the selfish people. But unfortunately, the King asked me and all the ministers, state officials and nobles to stay in our house and not leave our people. The king does not want to sacrifice his people, if someone has to be sacrificed to buy time, then we are the ones! In fact, the king sacrificed the son he loved so much to find the divine treasure alone, all for the safety of everyone. Prince Nathan must be struggling, fighting against enemies who also want the sacred treasure. This morning, the soldiers had prepared with their swords and
Headquarters, Kingdom of Lithonia “An eclipse has appeared, Your Majesty! Will Prince Nathan be able to find the island in time?” asked Advisor William who was standing a row behind the king who was about to begin his speech. In the center of the headquarters field, King Roderick Zafeiri stood in front of thousands of Lithonian soldiers to give enthusiasm and hope to the soldiers and youths who volunteered to join the emergency army considering that they were currentlyo somewhat in the midst of the threat of the rise of the demons. “Good afternoon the proud soldiers of Lithonia! As we all witness together, the solar eclipse has come bringing hope to all mankind. Today, we are faced with so many very tough tests, forcing us to be patient and endure until we can get through them all. Believe that help is drawing near! Never lose hope. Thanks to God being with us, we will definitely win!” Tears
Keith sat in front of the bonfire, keeping watch all night to make sure Nathania could rest for the night. Nathania lay beside him and seemed to be fast asleep. Meanwhile, Aleah who was lying beside Nathania continued to observe Keith. She couldn't sleep, let alone seeing Keith stand guard alone like that. Aleah got up and walked over to Keith, she took a seat beside Keith and sat quietly. Her eyes did not leave Keith, she felt this was a good opportunity to get closer to this young manThe night beforeKeith glanced at Aleah, he knew what women wanted. Even though Aleah just kept quiet and didn't do anything, it still annoyed Keith."What are you doing? why don't you sleep?" asked Keith curtly. His rude and cold attitude only made Aleah even more attracted to him.Aleah shifted her seat position until she was right next to Aiden. She smiled seductively as she puffed out her chest, wishing Keith's ey
The killer whales took them to a small island with tall trees and white sand all around it. "Thank you for helping us! Goodbye!" said Keith. The killer whales swam away after their task was done. "Thank you! See you later...!" Nathania waved her hand. She felt very grateful to them. Their bodies were drenched and their trees had nothing to help them survive this cold night. Keith took off his wet shirt and hung it out on the coconut tree stuff. Aleah who accidentally saw Keith's beautiful body, felt very embarrassed, but on the one hand, she felt very grateful to Keith and also Nathania for helping her so far. "Tha ... thank you so much! I really don't know what will happen to me if you don't help me!" She said. She smiled happily and her eyes immediately fell on Keith who wasn't too interested in her. "You don't need to thank's. Right, Keith?" Na
