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
Saintess Angela helped Narine by using her divine blessing. After about ten minutes of being shrouded in green light, the little creature began to move. Her eyelashes fluttered, but she still hadn’t opened her eyes.Meanwhile, Cristela was watching Narine closely.A few minutes later, Narine finally opened her eyes and coughed. Blood and foam came out quite a lot from her mouth.One of the two nuns sitting with them in the room moved to take cotton from the medicine box that had been prepared in advance. Then, she wiped the blood and foam that had seeped down the little creature’s neck.She looked at the girl with pity. The little creature looked so frail as she almost died because of the deadly poison.“Aathreya please...” Narine said weakly. Her eyes blinked profusely. Her consciousness was not yet fully collected.When her hazy visi
Narine ate a lot of cake in Aathreya’s room. Even though she almost died from poisons, she felt grateful. Because thanks to that incident, she was in the palace right now, eating as much cake as she wished. Human creativity was truly extraordinary.The fairy could grow plants and eat the fruit, but the fairy didn’t know how to turn those fruits into cakes.While Narine was busy with her cakes, Aathreya was strolling in the back of the palace garden. He paused when he saw Odette standing under a magnolia tree that was not blooming.He looked around. There were several knights watching the girl closely.After five seconds of silence, he decided to approach her.Sensing someone coming, Odette immediately turned around.“A queen wandering alone in the morning when the sun hasn’t completely risen in the sky yet. Aren’t you afraid some
Anwen didn’t say anything in response to those girls' words, but she looked at them warily. She didn’t know what kind of problem they had with her, but they seemed to hate her very much.One of them spoke up. This time, it was a girl with black hair and blue eyes. “You are so unworthy of Kaven! We really don’t like it when you dominate him! Even though you are a princess, we will not hesitate to hurt you!” She was on her hips while showing a fierce expression on her face.Now, Anwen understood what Kaven had said at Pradis.KCL had been burning with jealousy since Anwen and Kevan danced together, and they wouldn’t hesitate to hurt her when she was outside the palace.“You dare to hit me?” Anwen smiled slightly.“Why not?! Just because you’re a princess, you think we’re afraid of you?!”An
Aerith took out the first aid kit box that she always kept on the carriage.She poured antiseptic on cotton and tapped it on the wounds on Anwen’s face and neck gently.Anwen hissed slightly when it hurt. Her face felt scalding. The pain from those girls’ scratches stung to her skin.After Aerith applied the antiseptic, the pain had subsided, but her face became sore.Aerith also applied a medicine on the wounds to avoid inflammation. When it was applied, Anwen’s appearance became ugly. It would be a serious problem for girls who considered beauty and appearance as important things.“Princess should go back to the palace and rest,” Aerith said after she finished treating Anwen’s wound.“It’s just minor wounds. An injury like this isn’t something to worry about.”Aerith smiled at
Trish looked at his king questioningly. “Why do you suddenly think like that, Your Majesty?”“I’m just guessing because Odette used to be stranded here too. I thought the portal was connected to many places, so I was wondering if it was connected to where Odette came from.” Rion explained what he was thinking to Trish.“Wasn’t the one who sent the queen here was Aathreya using a forbidden magic that opened space and time?”Rion was silent, and he was lost in his own thoughts. He felt that Aathreya was the wick of all the questions he had in his head right now, but the wizard refused to answer his questions.He reached into his pocket to pull out a teleportation crystal, and his brows furrowed, as he didn’t find what he was looking for.Rion fumbled through all the pockets of his shirt, but he still couldn’t find the tele
Rion sat down with them, and Lord Myles immediately spoke up.“You look healthier after you have got married, Your Majesty,” he said, trying to make small talk with Rion.“That’s right,” replied Rion, slightly lifting one corner of his lips. Meanwhile, Aathreya, who was sitting beside him, tried to read the king’s thoughts and found the word ‘disgusted’ in the young king’s head as he looked at Lord Myles.Cristela chuckled then said. “God has greatly blessed Panthera by making the granddaughter of the Great Witch Aathreya the new queen of Panthera.”The words she spoke sounded so sweet as if the thing that came out of her mouth was a big scoop of sugar, and Aathreya almost coughed up blood at that.The old woman’s words described Aathreya as a very honorable figure.An honorable figure?
Rion, who was still very curious about many things, followed Aathreya. Meanwhile, Trish walked beside him faithfully.“Don’t you have other things to do?” Aathreya glanced at Rion, who was walking beside him, then stopped. He decided to face the king for a moment or else the man would continue to follow him.They were still not far from the pavilion right now. The yellow leaves fell and flew, dancing in the air when the wind blew.Before Rion bombarded him with questions, Aathreya explained about him having sensed Gerald’s aura.“Even though his body has been destroyed, I suspect his soul is still wandering around in this world. If my suspicions are correct, then he will definitely try to revive himself.”“How? How will the soul resurrect after death? Isn’t it that if someone dies, the soul disappears?”Ri
“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
