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.
Rion immediately told Odette about what happened. He also told her that when he went out of their room, he suddenly met someone he knew. Then, he rushed to the room because he felt dizzy, and his memory ended when he entered the room and closed the door."I think I had a relapse and maybe..." He paused his sentence for a moment. "The one who did that to you was one of my personalities."His words made Odette's eyes widen."What are you saying?" Odette could hardly believe her own ears.'How did it happen? Which alter did that?' From what she learned, Rion's alters represented Rion's desires and feelings.Of Rion's five alters, Odette had only ever met the dog, Bee, and the alter that appeared the most was Lucifer. It seemed u
Odette walked down the corridor with quick footsteps. She didn't turn to see the people who were looking at her questioningly. Right now, she just wanted to leave the palace as quickly as possible."Miss Ody?" Anwen, who saw Odette passing by, was about to approach but was held back by Queen Cristela, who was standing nearby.As Anwen looked at Queen Cristela questioningly, the queen glanced to the right, as if telling Anwen to look in that direction. Anwen followed the direction that her grandmother glanced at and saw her brother. He was running fast after Odette."Stay here and watch quietly," said Cristela, and Anwen nodded."ODETTE, STOP!" Rion's shout brought everyone's attention to him, as well as the woman he was chasing.
A few hours later, Odette finally managed to finish her job. The makeshift rope she would use to descend was ready. She then tied the rope to a pillar and began to slowly descend with her feet on the wall."Ah." She smirked, apparently, it wasn't as easy as it seemed. Odette panicked as her body swayed and her leg slipped, then she dangled. This happened over, and over again before finally one of the knots of the rope fell off and …AAAAGH!Thud!Someone caught her body just in time."Tri-Trish?"Meanwhile, elsewhere, Rion was standing in silence, while contemplating all the things he had just done. He was a little surprised to see Trish carrying Odette.
"What did you say? Are you sure you heard it correctly?""I swear I didn't hear it wrong. Almost everyone in the palace heard and saw the king shouting like that. The king seemed to really like that woman named Odette, and you know? The king made Odette a prisoner and ordered everyone to watch over her because she was always trying to escape.""Being a prisoner in the handsome King Rion's heart is the dream of many women in Panthera. The king's wedding day will be a national heartbreak day in this country.""But by the way, what family is that woman called Odette from?""Ah, she's from the family of Baron Fernandesh, a relative of the king's personal physician, Doctor Alex Fernandesh. At first, she was Doctor Alex's assistant in supervising the king's health, and I think
Odette occasionally hid when she saw a knight or servant. She had to get out soon before the maid she had knocked out came to her senses and told everyone that she had run away.After she turned left and right, down the stairs, hid, and jumped from the window, she finally managed to get out of the palace building.She looked around and she felt lucky because the place looked deserted. The palace door was still open after being passed by several builders, who were repairing the damaged facade of the palace building."Hm?" Arlo, who recognized Odette, wanted to approach the woman. But he stopped his intention when Rion, who came from behind called his name and asked Arlo not to do anything. Rion also signaled to all the knights who saw Odette not to do anything.After Odet
Odette received a reward of twenty copper and she gave ten coppers to Dario."What's this?" Dario raised an eyebrow as he looked at the copper coins that Odette handed him."Wages. You've helped me, so the wages are divided in half," explained Odette as she smiled.When he saw Odette smile, Dario's heart ached and his chest tightened. The young woman that smiled at him right now was indeed his daughter."What's wrong? Is… this not a fair share?""Ah, no. I mean, it's not necessary. Besides, I already said I wanted to help you, and I'm not going to charge you for it.""I know, but I feel bad. Please take this." Odette took Dario's hand then put the ten bronzes in Dario's han
Odette continued to struggle while screaming for Rion to let her go."Don't move too much or you might miscarry!""Nonsense! Let me go!""Don't scream or everyone will think I kidnapped you.""HELP I AM BEING KIDNAPPED! HELP! THIS MAN WANTS TO SELL ME!"How unlucky!Rion cursed in his heart.After Odette screamed, the people around the place immediately approached and surrounded Rion, who was in disguise by returning to his curly wig."Let go of her or we'll beat you to death!" said one resident. Odette looked up and saw a dozen people gathered around them.
