"I… have to learn all this? Are you serious?" Odette looked at some of the books in front of her, then looked at Marta questioningly. Marta nodded at her approvingly.
Odette took the book that was at the top of the pile, and read the title of the book 'The Ethics of Being a Real Princess' after that, she saw the title of the book that was in the second pile 'Royal Ethics' for some reason, she had a bad feeling about these books.
"You can read everything first, and then I will help you practice it," said Marta as she stood next to Odette.
Odette opened the book in her hand and read the table of contents.

"Please don't be offended, Your Majesty. I'm glad to hear about your marriage, but I don't think this is the right time to get married. I'm afraid that during the wedding, Prince Aiden will again send the monsters of the Randle Forest to attack the palace," said Mr. Hatter, one of the Panthera generals."I agree with Mr. Hatter," said Duke Scarlet, a man with ginger hair that sat on the left side of the table."Your Majesty… can you hold back until… this matter is resolved? Or at least until things are more conducive?" A white-bearded man that sat close to Rion spoke up. He was Mr. Lino, the chief secretary."Don't all of you exist to take care of that? I still want to get married, because I really believe in all of your abilities. I'm sure the wedding will take place safely under your protection," Rion said, then smiled faintly. He politely declined the suggestions of all these people.'It seems His Majesty has been very desperate. He's adamant that he wants to get married,' Mr. Lino
"Trishy, what do you feel? I mean, are you burning with lust when you see this painting?" Anwen asked lightly, as if it was nothing, leaving Trish at a loss. He didn't know what kind of face he was showing right now. "W-what do you mean?" Trish forgot to breathe for a while. Anwen popped her face out from behind the painting. "Your lust. The desire for sex. Does it rise after seeing this painting?" This time, she said it more clearly. Trish clenched his hands into fists. "Actually… What is your intention of showing me THIS THING and HOW can you ask ME SOMETHING SO PRIVATE?" he asked, stressing each word. He truly couldn't understand why Anwen asked him such a thing without feeling the slightest bit of embarrassment. Only God knew what was going on in that girl's head. "Oooh, that's..." Anwen came out and stood beside the painting. "Actually, in a book I read, it said that if a guy looks at a painting like this they will want to um… You know what I mean, right?" She smiled wry
The atmosphere in the palace was glamorous. The front of part of the building that was destroyed during the last attack had been repaired. The builders and the décor team had worked together in modifying the damaged yard and pool to make it look grandeur.Initially, Cristela planned for the wedding to take place in another palace, but Rion did not agree. The young king insisted that his second marriage should take place there because after the marriage, he would go straight to work, not planning to take time off for his honeymoon.After all, for him, this marriage was not a marriage in the true sense. He married Odette only because he felt responsible and he needed her to handle Lucifer.The head of the Baron Fernandesh family, who had been invited by the queen, came
"Hey, what's wrong with you? W-why are you crying?" Rion asked in confusion, and Odette cried even louder."You're so mean… sob… What did I do to you?… sob, you're always being mean… sob… I already said I didn't want to. Why do you keep forcing me… sobs… you're so mean to me… sob…." Odette's tears rolled down her cheeks. "So mean... sobs…" Odette whimpered in front of Rion like a child.Rion snorted. "Stop crying! If you don't want to go to the doctor, it's okay. I won't force you anymore, so stop crying," he said in a slightly annoyed tone.Odette looked up."Is that true?" she asked. Her pair of blue eyes that were still wet with tears were now
***"I want to trade this thing for that thing." Jack gave money to the clerk of the Madam Denim Boutique. He picked out summer clothes for himself while Odette watched him from behind, and Trish watched them from a distance.Jack really thought it was the start of summer when it was late summer and early fall. He bought clothes that were open even though it was cold. Because he bought summer clothes in the fall, he got a fifty percent discount."Are you sure you don't want to buy anything?" Jack turned to face Odette. He bought a lot of things that would support his appearance using the money from the sale of brooches and other accessories attached to Rion's body and clothes."No." Odette smiled briefly.'This gi
In the evening, Odette took a walk in the palace garden to get rid of her boredom. Behind her, Amy and Marta followed and watched her silently. It made her let out a heavy sigh.She felt like a prisoner who would escape if they let their guard down even a little. Well, she did that once, running away when they were caught off guard, but now she had no plans to do that again.She sat on a garden bench and thought about what Jack had done this afternoon. It was her first time to meet this alter of Rion's and her mind was busy analyzing who Jack was."What are you thinking about, My Lady?" Amy asked, but Odette didn't answer. The girl's mind was focused on Jack.Jack was an alter ego that represented Rion's desire to h
In her room, Odette stood by the window, daydreaming again. She wasn't thinking about Rion, but about her mother. Soon she would get married. She would walk down the aisle without someone by her side, no family at all.Even though her marriage to Rion wasn't the one she expected, still it was her wedding day, and she was feeling nervous."Mom… I miss you," she mumbled.Outside the palace, a man with black hair and ruby eyes was stepping in through the border of knights. His arrival brought a powerful pressure. The wizard knights who had been assigned to guard the palace immediately stood up. They all knew the figure of the Great Wizard Aathreya.The ordinary knights, who didn't know Aathreya, were con
Not long after, she stopped and remained frozen in place when she saw the figure that people had been talking about walking in front of her along with Rion and Queen Cristela. She remained on the spot as she watched the three people continue to approach her. Aathreya, who saw Odette standing in his way, looked at her and smiled faintly. Whenever he saw Odette, he felt like he was looking at Celestial, his beloved daughter. Queen Cristela secretly took a glance at Aathreya, and then looked at Odette, while Rion stared straight at the girl expressionlessly. In his mind, he was wondering what that girl was doing here, and why she was standing there like an idiot. The three of them stopped in front of Odette, and the girl looked at Rion with questions lingering in her eyes when she saw Rion's eyes and face that seemed to tell her to do something. From a distance, Marta gave a weird look. "I've taught her everything," she muttered. Odette had learned the ethics of how to greet the k
“Doctor Ody.”“Mia?”Mia smiled and sat beside Odette.“I know you’re feeling scared right now, but we can definitely handle it properly,” Mia said reassuringly.“You’re not afraid of him?”“When Bee was born, and I saw him for the first time, I cried because I remembered when Alvin was born. At that time, I didn’t want to see his face because I hated his father so much. Every time I remembered that, my heart hurt, and I felt bad for having such a thought. Alvin doesn’t know anything, so why should he be hated?”“Mia...”“Bee doesn’t know anything either. He’s a sweet child with a heart as pure as an angel. Why should I be afraid of him?” Mia smiled, then looked at the sky. “Since my parents died, I don’t have anyone anymore. People who should be called family actually treat me like trash. Perhaps even tr
“Odette!” Hans finally came. He quickly approached Odette, who was struggling to get away from one of the firefighters who were holding her and preventing her from getting closer to the flames blazing the house.“Senior, help Bee! BEEE!” Odette let out a hoarse cry.Then Hans was stunned to see Bee being carried out by the firefighter. “Bee?”“Baby, Honey.” Odette immediately dragged her wobbling feet to approach the child, carefully taking him from the firefighter. “It’s okay, Honey. Mom is here. Mom is here.” She rubbed Bee’s back and kissed him as she hugged him so tightly. It wasn’t long before Bee suddenly lost consciousness.“B-Bee? Bee!”“Let’s take him to the hospital!”Odette and Hans rushed into the car and took Bee to the hospital. Arriving at the hospital, Bee was handled by the doctor immediately.“Bee…
In the palace garden, Rion, Trish, and Anwen sat together while enjoying dessert.“What?” Anwen and Trish were shocked to hear of Rion’s plans to retire and leave Panthera.“Are you serious, Your Majesty?” Trish asked hurriedly. “What’s wrong? Why so sudden?”“It’s not sudden. I’ve been thinking about this for a long time.”“Then what about Panthera?”“There is you.” Rion casually said it as though it wasn’t something serious, then cut the cake in front of him before eating it in delight.“What?” His eyebrows raised a little upon noticing the sharp gaze from Anwen and Trish. The two of them couldn’t believe what the king had just said.“Your Majesty, your joke isn’t funny at all,” Trish said flatly.“This isn’t a joke.” Rion took a deep breath and then looked up at the sky.
Betelgeuse, Alpha of the Orion constellation.Betelgeuse D. Panther was the star in the hearts of Odette and Rion.“Bee...” Odette kept smiling as she watched Bee’s sleeping face. When the boy was asleep like this, he became very calm.Somehow, every time she looked at Bee, she was like seeing Rion’s figure when he was small.“Mom… Zzz…”“Mom’s here.” Odette chuckled when she heard Bee calling out to her. She remembered Rion also calling her name in his sleep. Indeed, Bee really was the son of Arion D. Panther.“Sweet dream, Honey,” she whispered and kissed the boy’s forehead.She then got off the bed then left the room, walking towards the living room. When she arrived, she saw Mia was busy with piles of fabrics that needed to be sewn.“Mia.”The young woman stopped her activities and turned her head naturally.&ldqu
“Drystan,” Rion called the young man again, and this time, Drystan cast his gaze at him.“Is my father…?” Drystan wanted to ask about his father’s condition but couldn’t finish his sentence. The words stuck in his throat as though, deep down, he had already guessed it.“Did you already know about this?”Drystan nodded with a faint smile, but sadness was evident in his eyes. He told Rion that before going to the capital, he went to Bosa with his father. When his father found out that Aathreya was dead, and so did Rion, he decided to take that step.“He regretted that he never gave any happiness to Odette. If you died, Sister Odette would definitely suffer a lot, and he didn’t want her to suffer anymore. I told you that my father deeply regretted all the things he had done in the past, and now he had proven it. That’s it, I’m leaving,” Drystan said in a self-deprecating man
“Big brother?” As Anwen saw Rion’s fingers moving slightly, she rushed to kneel beside him, followed by Dario.As Rion’s consciousness returned, Dario’s consciousness actually faded.“When… when you meet your sister-in-law, tell her that I’m sorry,” Dario said while looking at Rion wistfully.Anwen was silent. She didn’t give any responses, as she wasn’t sure if there would be a chance to see Odette again or not.Dario’s eyes quivered. They slowly closed before opening again, closed again, and opened again. This continued until his body slumped to the ground helplessly. Luckily, Anwen immediately reacted and supported his back.Dario’s eyes were still open, and he looked in a daze at the cloudy sky above him. At this moment, he had sunken into his trove of memories of Odette.‘I DON’T HAVE A FATHER! MY FATHER IS DEAD!’The image of Odette
Rose sat by the river while Rion lay on her lap, enjoying every second of their togetherness.“Rose, I’m sorry,” Rion said as he looked at the woman, holding her hand, which stroked his forehead gently.Rose smiled gently. “You’ve said it 100 times.”“I am so sorry.”“You’ve said that a hundred times already.”“Since you left, I couldn’t breathe properly every day, and something invisible kept tightening my heart.”“Yes… You’ve said it, and Lucas also told me.”“Lucas?” Rion got up and looked at Rose questioningly.“Yeah. He said Trish told him about it.”“Trish?”When Rose told him everything Lucas had told her, Icarus arrived at the Rose Garden. Anwen was surprised to find Dario and Saintess Angela there.Dario hopped onto Icarus’ back and carried Rion down
Aiden was finally gone as his body was destroyed from within by the combined power of Rion and Aathreya. However, although Aiden was dead, the problem wasn’t really over because Gerald’s soul had already left his body and resided in Rad’s body instead.At the moment, Gerald was floating in the air, under the purple eye that still stood firm in the sky. He raised his hands to activate the Divine Eye, but Icarus came and breathed out a powerful flame, forcing Gerald to move away to escape it.“Narine?” Anwen muttered when he saw the little fairy on the back of Icarus flying towards her.“Get the king onto Icarus’ back,” said Narine briskly.“What?” Anwen and Trish felt puzzled.“Just do it if you still want to meet the king!” Narine exclaimed in a bit of a hurry as if she was being chased by time.Roul, who was listening to their conversation, nodded to Trish as the man lo
Swoosshh…The wind blew against the leaves of the shady trees while the blooming rose swayed gracefully and gave off a sweet fragrance. Several butterflies flew around and perched from one flower to another, showing off their stunning wings.Odette walked among the roses while looking right and left. That place reminded her of the Rose Garden in Green Castle, or… was she actually in the Rose Garden?Her gaze swept around the area, looking for the Green Castle building, but no matter how far she looked ahead, she didn’t see the building anywhere.Tap!Her steps came to an abrupt halt when her eyes fixed on Rion’s figure, who stood a few steps away from her. The man was wearing a charming white cloak with gold thread fluttering slightly. For some reason, Rion looked more handsome than usual.“Rion?”The man smiled gently at her.Seeing that, Odette couldn’t help but feel an endless joy
