Trish accepted the reason given by Anwen. “This is indeed difficult, but Aiden must be held accountable for his actions.”Anwen lifted her head and looked at Trish, who was smiling at her. She was a bit startled when Trish touched her cheek.“A depressed expression doesn’t suit this face. It only fits with a cheerful expression,” he said, making Anwen’s face blush.“So you weren’t mad at me because I made a mistake, Princess?” Trish lowered her hand and Anwen shook her head.Trish smiled brilliantly. He reached into his shirt pocket, then took out the purple bracelet he made at the orphanage and gave it to Anwen.“What is this?”“A dragon. Of course, it’s a bracelet.”“Is it for me?”“Yes.”“But I don’t like wearing accessories.”“Then I will just throw it away.”“Oh, no!” Anwen immediately held Trish’s hand, who was about to throw the bracelet into the pool. “I didn’t say I didn’t want it.”Trish laughed lightly, then put the bracelet on the girl’s wrist. It made Anwen’s heart flutte
Jack was silent. He was quite surprised to see Odette’s angry face. So far, no woman could get angry with him because he was handsome. However, not long after that, Jack smiled. He thought Odette was very obsessed and possessive of him, so the girl didn’t want him to give the flowers to other women.“Why are you smiling? Anything funny?” Odette snapped.“You… you’re so obsessed with me that you don’t want me to give flowers or meet other women, aren't you?”***At a cafe near the health center, Doctor Alex and Doctor Jonathan were talking about Odette’s plan to make infusions and develop anesthetics.Doctor Jonathan was surprised because he didn’t think that Odette, their queen, was such a genius. Doctor Alex showed a simple infusion sketch made by Odette. He explained the working system to Doctor Jonathan based on what Odette had explained to him.“If we successfully make this device and produce it on a wide scale, then we will not have too much trouble treating patients who lose con
Aerith tried to climb up many times, but she repeatedly slipped because the thick snow that covered the downhill always fell on her when she stepped on it or held it.“HELP! MOTHER! FATHER!” She had shouted for help countless times, but no one came. Aerith started to tremble because of the cold as the gusts of wind grew stronger from time to time.She tried to climb up from the downhill, but she fell again. Aerith started crying.Some people had passed, but no one came to save her. Aerith had given up on trying to climb up and decided to snuggle under a tree.Her face was pale, and her lips had turned blue. Aerith hugged her knees tighter as the temperature dropped drastically. The wind was also getting stronger, making the snow fall even more heavily.“M-mom… D-dad… please,” she mumbled in a trembling voice. Her entire bones shook and her skin began to go numb.While crying, she kept on mumbling, calling for her father and mother until she was stunned when she saw a pair of boots in
***Rion was surprised to hear the reports from Adriel and Roul about the fate of children and women who were sold to Naturi. How could Aiden use them as food for a monster? How heartless.Trish, Roul, and the other four looked at each other as the aura in the room grew cold and heavy due to the power of an angry Rion.“Damn it! Even after his death, he still makes me want to kill him,” Rion whispered fiercely while clenching his fists.“Have you got rid of the monster yet?” He turned to look at the green-haired man standing in front of him.“Yes, Your Majesty,” Rax replied politely.“Good job, Rax,” Adriel said. He stroked Rax’s hair, making the green-haired man blush.The sight made Levin put on a weird look, but it soon disappeared when Rion asked about the return of the Panthera citizens. The man replied that everything went smoothly.“The citizens have arrived in the capital since yesterday. Lord Hatter and his troops escorted the citizens properly,” Levin explained.Rion nodded.
In the morning, Rion enjoyed his time with Odette on the beach. He put a floppy hat on the girl’s head, preventing the sun from touching her skin directly. Rion made Odette never stop smiling because of the sweet things he did.“Are you ready?”“Yes! I’m ready.”Rion smiled broadly. He lifted the basket filled with food he had made himself for their lunch.Even though the distance from the beach to the inn was only about five hundred meters, he decided to bring lunch because he was planning to have a picnic on the beach. Besides that, it was quite inconvenient to have to go back to the inn just to eat and return to the beach afterward.After a few minutes, they finally arrived at the beach.“SISTERRR!” In the distance, Anwen waved her hand. The girl and Trish had already left.Odette waved back at Anwen. She wanted to run over to her, but Rion stopped her.“What is it?”“Don’t bother them.”“Huh?” Odette looked at Rion in confusion for a moment. “Anwen and Trish, you want to match the
The good times seemed to pass quickly. Trish spread out the mat he had brought, while Rion and the other two arranged the food they bought.“My brother’s cooking is indeed the best,” Anwen praised, as she chewed on the food.“You’re right. I’m lucky to have a husband who is good at cooking, so I don’t have to bother cooking for him,” said Odette. Anwen and Trish immediately laughed at her words.“I’m glad to see my brother and sister-in-law getting along like this. When are you guys going to make a nephew for me? I can’t wait to teach my nephew riding and fighting,” Anwen said enthusiastically. She didn’t care about the flat expressions of those who heard her words.Rion didn’t understand how his sister could say something like that so easily.“You want to have a nephew because you can’t wait to teach him or because you don’t want to marry Kaven?” Rion asked, raising an eyebrow.Anwen was stunned.“N-no,” she stuttered, then added with a whining tone, “Brother, please ask Grandma to s
“I love birds too. Seeing them all here is really nice," said Odette.“Then, we click,” Aerith said, laughing lightly, followed by Odette. However, their attention was distracted by the crowd in the distance.Two people ran from being chased by a group of girls.“That’s Princess Anwen, right?” Aerith turned her head, looking at Odette who looked surprised. “The news of Princess Anwen and Kaven’s betrothal, is it true?”“Please enjoy the food,” said a woman after placing a plate of grilled squid and some seafood in front of Odette and Aerith.After seeing Anwen with Kaven, Aerith advised Odette not to interfere with them. She invited Odette to enjoy the famous grilled fish at Pradis Beach.“Besides grilled fish, this place is also famous for its delicious crab soup.”Odette, who was drinking, suddenly choked when she heard the word ‘crab’.In her mind, she remembered Rion who said….‘Isssh, why do I have to remember the perverted things like that right now?’ She shook her head once as
On a remote area of the beach, Rion and Trish were walking in the mud of sand. They had been in that place since the afternoon, looking for a teleportation crystal or whatever strange portal that Roul and Levin had found on Pradis Beach.Based on Roul’s information, he and Levin appeared around that place.Rion and Trish had searched for it for a long time, yet they could find it. It was getting late too, so they stopped the search and decided to go back to the inn.They got out of the mud. The cold air managed to penetrate through the skin because they were shirtless and wet from searching in the middle of the mud of sand.Rion, who couldn’t handle his anxiety about Aiden, decided to find out the truth of Roul’s presumption that Aiden teleported the monsters in Randle through a portal in the lake connected to Pradis Beach.Whether it was true or not, Rion wanted to confirm it. He didn’t want to let his guard down. He had to eradicate all the possibilities that could harm Panthera.“W
