Trish panicked because his king was missing AGAIN! He had checked every place in the palace, but he couldn't find Rion anywhere. Right now, the palace was bustling with people busy preparing for the wedding.
It would be a shame if the king popped up amidst them while barking like a dog. It would also be dangerous if the king appeared among them and stabbed people randomly because he was being taken over by Lucifer.
"Do you know where His Majesty is?" Trish went to Odette's room and asked the girl, thinking that she might know where the king was because lately when the king disappeared he must be with Odette or not far from her.
Odette was quite surprised to hear that Rion was missing. Just like Trish, she was also worried that Rion would appear in the crowd and do something unexpected.
"No," replied Odette after a few seconds of silence.
"I see. All right, Thank you." After heari
Rion stared at Odette intensely. Meanwhile Odette stood up from her chair, and stepped closer to the man who was looking at her with mixed feelings."I'm not mad at you, so you don't have to apologize. I am just..." For a moment she looked doubtful. "I'm just confused," she continued."Why are you confused?""I wonder what exactly are we? Doctor and patient, business friends, strangers, or lovers?" Odette asked with a hoarse voice.After losing her child and seeing Rion look disappointed, Odette felt very sad. Her feelings were like that of a wife saddened by the disappointment of her husband. She shouldn't feel that way because there was no such relationship between them.
Odette wondered how Cristela found out about the deal she made with Rion."I have many eyes and ears in this palace," said Cristela as if she knew what Odette was thinking."Sister, do you really want to go home to your era?" Anwen asked Odette in confusion. She demanded an answer. "Sister, what do you mean?"Odette glanced at Anwen, then focused on Cristela. The old woman seemed to really care about Rion, but why did Rion hate her so much? She felt that the problems between Rion and Cristela's relationship were not much different from the problems between Anwen and Rion in the past.After a moment of silence, Cristela spoke again. "He forbid me to intervene, but if I don't intervene, he will just keep quiet and tor
Rion was getting more and more restless from time to time. His eyes moved slowly, but it was hard to open them. He wanted to wake up but couldn't."You're not a criminal..."The voice that had been ringing for a long time finally became clear. He knew that voice."You have received your punishment. Rion, please don't torture yourself anymore. You are not a criminal."Tears flowed from the corners of Rion's eyes, sliding freely into the bottomless darkness."Odette..." After trying for quite a while, he finally managed to open his eyes and found himself being hugged by Odette while the girl was still repeating the same words.
Rion walked down the corridor while still smiling and remembering the scene in the tower an hour ago. Since then, he had felt hundreds of flowers blooming on his chest and butterflies tickling his heart, so he couldn’t stop smiling. After confessing his feelings to Odette, he felt very light.From behind, Trish, who saw his king walking towards a pillar, furrowed her brows. He rushed over to the king when he saw Ronan was about to hit the pillar.“Your Majesty.” He held Rion’s shoulder right before Rion hit the pillar.Rion was surprised and spontaneously turned his head to look at the person holding his shoulder.“Trish?”
<The night before the wedding>The palace was getting busier and Rion felt uneasy being in the midst of the crowd. He felt like he wanted to run away from the room because he was worried about having a relapse.He also missed Odette and wanted to see her, but he had to stay with the higher-ups because among the people who came were the representatives from neighboring countries, as well as other important people.Meanwhile, in her room, Odette was taking selfies with Anwen. Yesterday, Anwen picked up all her belongings from the future at the Lilium Estate.“This phone is so amazing, it makes face painting with just one press,” Anwen said enthusiastically.
“Do you know who this woman is, Grandma?” Anwen asked after Cristela had sent her maid out.Cristela smiled at the painting Anwen showed her. The young girl remembered that the name of Odette’s mother was also Celestial. Similar face and name, it seemed impossible if it was just a coincidence. Then, their last names were Bernard. She recalled the figure of Aathreya in her mind.“Grandma, that woman’s face and name are the same as the face and name of Odette’s mother. Is it possible that Odette is...” Anwen hesitated to continue, but Cristela, who understood what she wanted to say, nodded.Anwen’s eyes opened wide with shock, and she was astonished when Cristela revealed the true identity of Odette as the daughter of Celestial and Emperor Dario, and granddaughter of Aathreya.“Grandma, are you… are you serious? Sister Odette is
<The wedding day>The knights closely watched the maids and servants, who were busy preparing the dishes. After the incident that happened to Odette, Cristela ordered the palace staff to ensure all food and drinks were safe.Everyone in charge of supervising, making, and delivering the food and drinks had given their complete identity to the head of the event committee. The guests were also closely monitored. Before entering the palace, they first undergo an inspection.“Trishy!” Anwen’s voice stopped Trish.The man looked handsome in a three-piece suit: black trouser suit, white shirt, and black vest. He turned his head and was a bit surprised to find the barbarian girl who used to look like a boy suddenly dressed like a regular princess.The young girl, Anwen, wore a white voluminous dress that showed off her slender waist, her short grey ha
After uttering the wedding vows, the guests congratulated the bride and groom while the music was played louder, and the event continued with a dance party.Rion brought Odette to the center of the dance floor. Instead of talking, they were mostly silent, smiling and looking at each other. They were so happy that they didn’t know what to say. While moving his body following the music, Rion recalled the series of meetings he had with Odette.The corners of his lips curved up to a sweet smile as he remembered what he did to Odette at the riverbank. It was when they first met. And then he also remembered how she insisted on helping him, giving him a hand, a hug, and finally when she was treating his wound.“Thank you,” he said sincerely.“What for?” Odette raised her brows.“For this happiness.” Rion smiled, swirling Odette&rsqu
