Day by day, the protection around Odette was getting tighter, and it made Odette protest to Rion again. For her, the way Rion tried to guard her by adding more knights was too much.
“I can still take it if it’s five to six people, but twenty? That’s too much. I feel very uncomfortable.”
“It’s all for your safety.”
“I know, but it’s too much. I feel like a heavyweight criminal who is tightly secured from escaping.” Odette was still protesting, but Rion ignored her. The girl had been protesting to Rion, and this was the fifth protest she had done so far this day.
“Rion!”
“Yes,” said the man without looking at the person he was talking to. His eyes were focused on every word he wrote on a file on the desk.
Feeling that Rion ignored her, Odette became annoyed. She didn’t say anything anymore, but her eyes stared at Rion continuously while showing an i
Bra, shirt, and panties sprawled on the floor after Rion threw them.“Rion, those aren’t marbles,” said Odette as Rion flicked her nipples with his very naughty fingers.Rion didn’t respond. He sucked and licked the pink nipples alternately. These little things were his favorite toys.SLURP SLURP LICK LICK“Rion, it is not corn,” Odette commented again when Rion kissed her nipples like a chicken pecking on the corn.“Ahhh...” Now, she moaned softly as Rion bit her nipple lightly.After biting it, the man used the tip of his nose to nudge the hard nipple left and right before burying his face in one of her breasts, while his hand was busy flicking her other nipple.“Ah.” Rion groaned softly. Odette’s breast felt very warm and the nipple he had licked felt a little cold when
Odette let out a long moan after all the throbbing sensation had subsided, and her brain had regained control of her body. She turned to face Rion and found the man was smiling faintly at her. “You’re annoying,” Odette said in a sulky tone. Rion widened his smile. “That’s your punishment,” he said in a slightly hoarse voice, tracing the girl’s face with his fingers. “I thought you really enjoyed it anyway,” he added, kissing the tip of her nose and then twirling the girl’s hair. “No. I was forced,” said Odette. ‘Forced?’ Who would believe that?" “I do," said Odette with a pout. "Of course, you were forced to scream so loudly and kiss me greedily,” Rion said, then smirked, making Odette’s blushing cheeks more obvious. The girl was quite embarrassed as she recalled how she kept moaning because of Rion’s
Trish stared at the stars in the sky absentmindedly. Anwen, who was still wrapping her hand around the man’s arm, watched him from the side silently. “What are you thinking about?” After a long silence, the girl finally decided to ask. “Nothing. Just enjoying the view.” Anwen’s eyes blinked while looking at Trish, then she sat down on the ground as well. Her hand was still firmly embracing the man’s arm. “Ooh,” she said and then paused, looking for a topic of conversation. “By the way, Trishy, you looked panicked earlier. What’s wrong?” she asked, much to Trish’s surprise. The sweet screams from a while ago replayed in his head again. Aish. It was very annoying. “Nothing, there is nothing wrong.” “You were from my brother’s room, right?” “Yes… His Majesty asked me to bring a fi
“Anwen.” Odette grabbed Anwen’s wrist. Arlo and the people around looked at them curiously. “I’m fine, Sister. I’ll be waiting for you outside with Arlo and the others,” Anwen said, trying to maintain a smile. “You should come in and do your job. Don’t worry about me,” she added when she saw Odette’s worried face. “Are you sure? If you don’t feel like it, you can go home.” “It can’t be like that. I already told Brother Rion that I will take care of you. Please don’t think about me and come in. I’m fine.” Anwen smiled widely, but Odette knew that the girl was pretending to look fine. “Your Highness the Princess.” Aerith came over and bowed in front of Anwen. “Please forgive my words, Princess. I didn’t mean to offend you in the slightest,” she said. “It’s okay. You didn’t do anything wrong,” Anwen said casually, then looked at Odette. She asked Ode
Rion explained about Irsen, the vampire, and the Scroder race who were Gerald’s loyal subordinates. “Those people have the ability to regenerate quickly. If Aiden had that ability, then he would still be alive.” Roul furrowed his brow and thought about it seriously. “If that’s true, then he will need time to recover until he can fight us again,” Roul added. “Adriel and I have tried to dig up information from Princess Guen and King Elbert, but their memories are incomplete. Aiden had deleted some of their memories about the one who helped him, so they couldn’t leak it to anyone.” Rion was silent. He remembered about the monster attack on the palace, then the condition of Garbera who died in Aiden’s hands, his battle with the fake Aiden, and when he and Aiden fought fiercely. Aiden had many vampire’s abilities. “Are vampires able to absorb energy an
Aathreya blinked his eyes. “That’s true,” he said. He forgot that he could read minds. “Tsk. Day by day, I’m getting senile,” he said again, and a second later, Aathreya stood very close to one of the vampires. His pair of eyes sparkled when he met the vampire’s eyes. The vampire froze, while the other vampires were shocked. They attacked Aathreya, but the wizard blew them away with his aura. Aathreya dug up the information in the vampire’s memory, but he didn’t get any information about Gerald. The memories of Gerald ended twenty-seven years ago when Gerald was being burned down and turned to ashes. He was still trying. From what he could see, the memories of the vampire remained connected, and no parts were lost or erased. If any part was erased, then he could conclude that Gerald was really still alive, and the man erased the information so as not to be found out.
Rad was still floating in the air while staring intently at Aathreya, who was also looking up at him.It wasn’t long before a rumbling sound broke through the trees and bushes. The animals and other creatures that didn’t want to get involved in the fight ran away from that place.After a while, hundreds of bats came from all directions and the number continued to grow over time. They flew around Rad. The hundreds of pairs of red eyes that glowed in the air looked like floating embers.The bats showed their fangs and mouths filled with saliva while making a very disturbing sound.“Hey, can’t you relax a bit? I just came here to ask if your leader is still alive or not?”“If so, why? And if not why?” Rad had no intention of answering.“...”Rad sharpened his gaze. “What makes you think that I would want to have a nice talk with you? Just looking at your face, I’m so sick
Aathreya suddenly appeared in Cristela’s room, making all the maids in the room surprised, including Cristela, who was currently on the couch while enjoying her nail care. However, as usual, she always managed to control her expressions well.Cristela stood up, followed by the lady who had been sitting on the floor cleaning her toenails.Ignoring all the confusion that was on the ladies-in-waiting faces, she ordered all the ladies-in-waiting to come out of her room.“What’s with your face, Uncle?” Cristela asked when she saw Aathreya’s tense expression.“Follow me!” said Aathreya, approaching the old woman. Before Cristela said anything, he reactivated the teleportation crystal and arrived beside the sacred temple building.Cristela was surprised. Before she really grasped where Aathreya was taking her, the wizard immediately gave her the
“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
