Nathania looked down, she felt something was different in Aiden. It was strange, as if there were two souls in one body. That's what Nathania is starting to realize, but who is the real Aiden?
They left the cave as the sun began to rise from its throne. Every now and then, Nathania glanced at Aiden who was walking beside her. Even though she was a little scared, it couldn't make her want to leave Aiden.
"Until here! I think Boni is still waiting for me in front there. Thank you for showing me such a beautiful place!"
"Can I ask something?" asked Aiden who slowly began to change into the figure of Aiden she knew.
"Yes, of course! what do you want to ask?"
"Are you going to leave me?"
"Wh ... why do you ask like that? I ..."
"Will you swear?"
"Yes ... I swear, I will not leave you. Whatever happens, I will not leave you. When things get better, I'll stay with you, we both raised our children together. Aiden, I love you so much, believe m
"What should I do? the ceremony is about to take place and Nathan's condition will not allow him to participate in the ceremony. What should I do?" said the Queen who looked even more panicked as it approached the time of the blessing ceremony."Calm down, Your Majesty! let's think of a solution together!" said Diana, a figure who was always at Queen Alexandra's side who was easily depressed and panicked whenever something went against her will.Helena and Jia looked at each other, sharing the Queen's anxiety which they knew had been waiting for this day for years. The day on which his son will perform a sacred ceremony that is witnessed by the gods in the sky.Nathania, was probably the only person trying to be calm even though the situation didn't allow her to stay relaxed as if nothing had happened. Instead, she thought the most about Nathan's condition as a sister, not as someone who wanted him to inherit the throne."There is no choice, we have only
"Nathan ... no way, this is just a dream ... this is just a dream ..."Nathania looked down limply, her legs trembled at the sound of her mother's cries. Her tears flowed freely, even though she wanted so badly to come into the room. However, somehow she was too scared to know.The door opened, showing Jia's face that was already wet with tears. Jia didn't say anything, she couldn't bear to say it. Nathania walked slowly into the room filled with the sound of her mother's crying. Diana, Helena, Doctor Franz cry silently. On the bed, Nathan lay with a pale face.Queen Alexandra stopped crying when she realized Nathania was standing by the bed. Staring at her brother who would never open his eyes again. All the memories entered into her memory, making her body instantly weak."Nathan, what happened? hey, why did you sleep on our birthday? Nathan, wake up! I haven't given your birthday present. Nathan, wake up ... I beg ... don't leave me ... don't leave me! I c
"Why didn't she come? didn't she promise? didn't she swear not to leave me alone?"His eyes stared at the place where he always saw the brown haired girl riding her horse while waving at him. Her smile, her always shining gaze and her gentle touch. He missed everything about her so much.In his hand, he held a small box which he wanted to give to the girl as a birthday present. However, if she didn't come, then this gift would be meaningless."Waiting for someone? looks like you're starting to go crazy, Aiden!" Sheera smirked at the top of the tree, trying to make fun of Aiden.Aiden didn't budge, he didn't want to reply to all the nonsense Sheera said, or even he never wanted to reply. For him, there were more important things for him to think about. Namely his sweetheart who never came. To be honest, it made Aiden feel very disappointed, despite the fact that the pain in his head would be much less if the girl wasn't with him."He's not coming! g
"Nathania, what happened to you? why are you so stubborn?""Mother, I've always wanted to ask you. Why did you marry Father? what makes you want to accept someone who doesn't love you? do you want to tell me?" she asked and tried to be strong, even though the tears had easily filled her eyes and were ready to flow. However, once again she tried to strengthen her heart which was always weak in front of her mother.The queen was silent, hearing her daughter's question made her unable to hold back tears. The pain she endured from marrying a man who never loved her, forced her to take her hurt out on her daughter."Why are you silent, Mother? why did you marry Father? what made you decide to live with a man who never said he loves you? Mother, tell me! why?""Since I have no choice, it's the only way to make my parents smile and think I'm worthy," her voice trembled, enduring the pain alone. Nathania should have known that she shouldn't ask something she knew wou
Sapphire PalaceQueen Alexandra bowed languidly, as if resigned to the trouble she was about to face. She should have expected that this would inevitably happen, the times when she had to face the harsh reality of losing her son and subsequent abandoned by her daughter.She must realize that she has failed, she is a failed mother. Seeing her daughter leave without even turning around made her realize that she deserved it all."Alexandra, where is Nathan?" asked the King, glaring intently at his wife who did not show the reaction he should have received."He's gone, he's gone ...""Go? what do you mean, Alexandra? where did Nathan go?" hearing the beloved granddaughter leave makes the Queen Mother panic."I don't know, I don't know ..." she said softly, still with a sad bowed face."You don't know? how come you don't know where your son went?" shouted the Queen Mother, as usual blaming her daughter-in-law for all
They arrived at the edge of a forest directly adjacent to Golgora, the capital of Fotia. According to her assumption, this city looks normal, not much different from cities in Lithonia.After Nathania got off his back, Aiden returned to being human. They wore winter coats to avoid the gaze of those who might know Aiden."Come on!" Aiden took her hand and led her into the city.Nathania was a little nervous because she had never entered any territory outside her kingdom. So, it could be said that this was the first time she had set foot in Fotia."May I take a walk in this town? will anyone notice?""Even though everyone here is the descendant of people who made a pact with the devil. But they don't have any special abilities, they are just humans. So, you don't have to worry!""Oh, I see?" instead of hearing Aiden's answer, Nathania felt much calmer because Aiden continued to hold her hand.They walked all the way to the shopping cent
"Forgive me! forgive me, Your Majesty!" Queen Alexandra wept hysterically as the King decided on the appropriate punishment for her after courageously tricking the king and everyone else.The king stared coldly, his sapphire eyes shining, showing unstoppable anger. The decision was unanimous, Queen Alexandra and her loyal servants must accept the hanging that will be carried out in the middle of the city."Forgive me, Your Majesty ... forgive me ...!" the Queen was hysterical, cried and prostrated before the King who did not even turn his head, let alone accept his apology.Lithonia was in an uproar, knowing that the crown prince they had known was Princess Nathania in disguise, while Prince Nathan had died due to illness. It was not only the King and Queen Mother who were disappointed by the Queen's lies. However, all the people of Lithonia felt the same anger and now, they couldn't wait to see first-hand 'the greatest con man' in the hanging in the middle of city
Nathania looked at herself in the mirror. She felt very empty, after realizing that she finally decided to return to the palace and leave Aiden.She touched the alexandrite stone coiled around her neck. After she chooses to return to being Nathan and continues to pretend until the end, all their lies are exposed and her life will end on the gallows.Nathania opened the bedroom door and walked through the palace corridor. The servants who saw her in the palace, were shocked and hysterical after realizing that the crown prince had returned after missing for two weeks."Prince Nathan has returned ... Prince Nathan has returned ...!" exclaimed a soldier who announced very important news that it could be heard in the ears of the King, Queen and Queen Mother who were in the palace dining room."The crown prince has returned?" asked the king when a soldier reported the news of Nathania's return to him."Yes, Your Majesty! Prince Nathan has returned. We sa
