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
Odette’s eyes get even wider. When she opened the book, she could see the vulgar sketches of a man and a woman indulge in carnal desire. That almost made her heart stop.She didn’t know whether to praise or criticize the one who made this book. The step-by-step of love-making was drawn in detail, and it was also well explained.The book looked insane, but Odette was more insane for wanting to read the book and devoured each sketch with her eyes. It seemed she was no longer a psychiatrist, but a mental patient.The room was so quiet that Odette could hear the loud thuds of her heartbeat. She read and studied every page of the book with great appreciation.Odette was so immersed that she didn’t realize Rion stood behind her until a pair of muscular arms wrapped around her waist, along with the cold sensation of someone’s skin touching her back. She was quite startled.Her nervousness came at once. Odette turned her head and looked up at Rion. The man gave her a sweet smile. His face was
Rion slid his hot tongue inside Odette's mouth. Their tongues intertwined, devouring all the sweetness in each other's saliva. His hand on Odette's hip trailed off and slid into her bra, playing with her plump breast. It felt so warm and soft. When he was going up a little, Riom found an adorable little pea. He pinched it gently until the bud got hard like a pea. When Rion touched her breasts, Odette's eyes slightly shook. She just realized that she only wore a bra and panties. Because of that vulgar book, she forgot to wear her nightgown. However, after she thought about it, why would she wear it if it would eventually be taken off? Unintentionally, she had reduced Rion's work. She was indeed a great wife. Three seconds after Rion's hand went under her bra, Odette was startled again when the man's other hand slipped inside her panties and stroked her plump and smooth buttocks. It made her immediately break their kiss. "Rion, you?" She looked at Rion with her brows knitted, then
“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
