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.
Rion continued, "We can't be husband and wife, because we don't love each other, but we can be friends. We can care for and love our child together. One day, if you like a man and you want to marry him, let me know. Don't worry about anything, I will make sure you two live happily."He swallowed. He uttered the last sentence bitterly.What did he just say? If one day Odette came to him and ask him for a divorce because she wanted to marry the man she loved, would he be able to do it? Will he be able to let go and give up Odette for another man?Just the thought of it made him scared."Then what about my child?" Odette asked him curtly."You mean our child?""Whatever. If I marry a
Dario and David had returned to the Archaean Empire using the teleportation crystal."Welcome, Father." A young man with black hair with blue accents on his temples greeted Dario's arrival. He was Prince Drystan, Dario's son by his third wife. Currently, Drystan was the crown prince."Was everything okay while I was gone?" Dario stepped inside the palace, followed by Drystan and David."Yes, Father," answered Drystan.Inside the palace, Empress Cordelia greeted them. She was the mother of Prince Drystan. She had just been appointed Empress to replace Isabella who had died.Previously, she only had the status of a king's consort and lived in the queens' palace together with Queen Melisa. Queen Melisa was the emperor's fourth w
