"Yes, a loser stays a loser!" he said as he made his horse gallop past Anwen.
"I won't let it happen!" Anwen did the same to her horse. They took turns getting ahead of each other and mocked their opponent that making the competition even more intense.
Clouds of dust billowed as they passed the direction back to the starting line.
Woohoo!
"His Majesty is so excellent." The women who were in the place felt very fascinated seeing Rion riding so gallantly.
In the audience, a young man with blue eyes like sapphire gems was watching Anwen's figure closely. He was Kaven Carolus, the son of Duke Carolus, who was betrothed to Anwen.
"She is Princess Anwen. What a coincidence that you came
Anwen straightened her legs while her hands rested on the ground to support her back. Her eyes stared at the twilight sky, then her face became very serious."Brother," she called softly.Rion turned his head and looked at her questioningly. "Yes?""In your opinion, what do you think the place Miss Ody came from is like?" Anwen asked, which made Rion confused. He didn't understand why Anwen suddenly asked that."Why are you suddenly asking that?""I'm just really curious. Miss Ody said the place she came from was amazing. Honestly, I feel scared when I think that one day she will return to where she came from, and I won't be able to see her again forever."
"Excuse me, have you seen a brown-haired woman pass by here today? She was wearing a black dress?""No, sir."Rion asked the many people he met on the street, but none of them had seen Odette. Even so, Rion didn't want to give up. He continued down the road and hoped to find Odette.***At the Baster Inn, the news about Rion and Odette became the talk of everyone there. The news began to spread through the mouths of the guests who had left the inn to various places."I didn't think the king would do something like that. Even though I really admired him, because I thought he was a very loyal man. Wow, I'm utterly disappointed," said the female staff who was gossiping with Jacob and her other friends last night. Call her Serena
"Your Majesty, how could you do this to me?" Trish came to Rion. He opened the door to his room and asked a question that made Rion confused."I thought we'd been very close, but how dare Your Majesty do this to me," Trish said again, which made Rion look at him strangely."What do you mean?""I was told by Knight Erina that you came to see Her Highness, Queen Cristela, then you said that you wanted to marry Odette. Is that true, Your Majesty?""That's right," answered Rion, flatly."Your Majesty, that breaks my heart.""..."Trish saw Rion staring at him with a strange look mixed with disgust.
Amy looked straight ahead and had a very serious expression."Maybe… that's because we really miss His Majesty the King, who was cheerful, always smiling and friendly to everyone," she said as she imagined the figure of little Rion. He always ran in the palace corridors cheerfully.Then she remembered the adult Rion who always smiled when Queen Rose was still alive.The death of Queen Ahana, his mother, turned Rion into a quiet and very cold person. Rion was like a block of ice, but then Rose came to melt the ice. Rion became a warm man after Rose came. However, it didn't last long.Being trapped in a conspiracy made by several people, Rion lost Rose. After Rose's death, Rion was no longer like ice but he was like a zombie, there was no life in his eyes. He was al
"BROTHER!" Anwen opened the door of the king's room violently. It made Rion and Trish who were inside, startled. The two men glanced at each other in confusion. Anwen closed the door and walked quickly to the king's table."Brother, what have you done to Miss Ody?" she asked to the point. It left Rion stunned, while Trish was confused about Anwen's question.Anwen and Rion looked at each other questioningly."Did she tell you anything?" Rion asked."She didn't tell me anything. I just heard the gossip about you and Miss Ody yesterday morning. Is… the gossip I heard true? Did you do that to her?"Rion was silent. He didn't know how to answer Anwen's question. He was surprised that the gossip of him and Odette at the Bas
"He-help me, I-I can't breathe," Aiden said breathlessly."Help you? I once helped you, and instead of thanking me, you took the throne of Naturi from my father and treated us like servants. I'm so sick of you. Now die!" Guen raised her knife to stab Aiden, who was leaning back on the chair, trying to get as much oxygen as he could."No!" Aiden caught Guen's wrist. Guen was surprised. "P-please d-don't do th-this to me… haha… HAHAHA," Aiden stuttered, before finally bursting out laughing."Are you… just faking it?" Instantly, her body trembled.Aiden stood up and quickly twisted Guen's hand. "What did you think, honey? I'd die with just poison like that, hm?" he said near Guen's ear as he squeezed the girl's hand firmly.
Odette stared at Trish intently. Was it true that Rion would fire Trish? The knight was always loyal to him at all times. Would he really fire him all just because Odette wouldn't get out of the carriage?It seemed impossible, but then… Odette remembered Rion also always threatened to fire her.Meanwhile, in his mind, Trish recalled Anwen's words before he went to pick up Odette."Miss Ody is an empathetic person. She pities others easily. If you have trouble persuading her, then make her feel sorry for you."After she thought for a long time, Odette finally decided to get out.When Odette got out, she immediately became the center of everyone's attention. It was as if she was Princess Cinderella, who had just gotten o
Odette was stunned. Her eyes opened wider when she saw the scene before her. Hundreds of lit candles lined up neatly and beautifully to form a path. Not only that but candles were also seen scattered in several parts of the garden.It reminded Odette of the sprinkling of stars in the sky. But the thing that caught Odette's attention the most was Rion. He was standing at the end. The man sat in a chair that was on the side of the table, surrounded by candlelight."Miss Ody, we have arrived," said Anwen. She then released her hand, which had been holding Odette's hand. "Now go and meet my brother. He has been waiting for you for a long time. All your questions will be answered by him."Anwen took Erika and Erina away from there. They left as Odette was standing unmoved. She looked straight at Rion who was there.
