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
“Oh, really?” Anwen glanced at Rion with a mischievous expression on her face.She was back to her usual cheerful mood because Aerith had given her a chance to be part of the anesthetic team. Seeing Anwen look cheerful again, Odette felt relieved.Rion just arched his eyebrows, then turned his attention to the table in between Anwen and Odette.There was an open book, leaves, and a small tube filled with what he believed to be alcohol.Did Anwen conduct an experiment again? The fine hairs on his skin suddenly bristled. He suddenly felt something bad would come.“What are you doing?” he asked doubtfully.“I’m trying to make a discovery to join the anesthetic development team. Just watch, I am going to make something extraordinary! Something that will impress Doctor Morigan!” Anwen said excitedly.R
Seeing Rion just silent, Odette understood the answer to her question. The answer was no!Odette thought about what she had to do to make Rion forgive himself for what he had done to Rose.Even though he looked happier, and his condition also improved now, nothing had changed about Rose. His remorse and anger for all the things he had done to Rose had not changed.“Are you angry?” Rion asked.Odette shook her head. “No,” she replied. Odette was silent for a moment, then spoke again. “Can’t you treat Lucifer as a guest, and as a host, you accept him well?”Rion immediately replied, “I will receive my guest well if the guest doesn’t act rude!”Odette fell silent again. Rion’s words showed that he really didn’t like Lucifer.“Are you angry?” Rion asked the sa
“Your Majesty… you won’t change your mind, will you?” Elis asked in a worried tone. The concubines only had the status of one level above the maids, below the queen, and the king's other legal wives.“No.” Odette shook her head. She wouldn’t ruin another woman’s life, but she thought about succession more seriously.If Odette remembered correctly, from the history books she had read, there was no king who only had one wife. Besides being used to give birth to offspring, the wife of a king also functioned to strengthen and expand power.She didn’t want to share her husband with any woman, but could she keep it forever?Odette was just a girl who got stranded in this place, and she coincidentally got the heart of a king. She had nothing and no one and no power at all. She believed Rion wouldn’t throw her away, but what if Rion needed to get m
“Your Majesty!” The two maids moved quickly to hold Odette’s body, who was staggering and almost fell to the floor.Because she had been sitting for too long, her blood circulation was hampered.Odette finally walked while being led by her maids. She felt dizzy and her vision was blurry. The effect shouldn’t be this bad.“Stop for a second!” she said when she was getting dizzy and her vision was getting blurry than before. She took a deep breath to supply oxygen to her brain.Her vision gradually became clear again, but another bad thing appeared. Her stomach hurt.“Akhh...” Odette winced in pain, and she almost fell again. However, Elis and Nadin held her body tightly, preventing her from kissing the floor.“I’ll call the doctor!” Elis ran anxiously while Nadin led Odette to a chair and helped
“Aaah! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!” Narine struggled with all her might when Anwen caught her. She tried to free herself from Anwen’s grip, but her effort was in vain. The fate of small creatures was always oppressed!“Hello, I just want to be friends with you. I won’t eat you.”“I don’t want to!”Anwen was silent for a moment. “Okay,” she said. After that, she let go of Narine just like that.“Huh?” Narine was surprised and confused when the human girl just let her go.She was silent, watching Anwen, who was sitting while reading her book again.Slowly, Narine flew towards the window, but she stopped as she passed the cake on the table.The yellow colour looked very attractive.“If you want, you can eat it.”
After ten seconds, Rion lowered his hand, and Odette also started to calm down.Rion smiled, and the girl looked away while pouting her lips. It was dark, but he could still see every expression on his wife’s face.“I would never do that. When my wife is sick, I will take care of her, and when my wife is not at home, I will wait for her to come home. If she doesn’t come home, I will pick her up,” Rion said while smiling softly, and Odette looked back at him.“You said that just to coax me, right?” Odette was still sullen.Rion shook his head.“No.” His hand moved slowly to touch her face, but it stopped midair, an inch before he touched the girl’s face. “Can I touch you now?”“Yes,” Odette said softly, and Rion’s hand immediately touched her cheek. The man’s hand felt a
Odette was still combing his hair as Rion pondered whether to tell his wife or not. If he didn’t tell her, Odette would definitely not stop asking questions. He would continue to get dizzy looking for an excuse, and it would take a long time because Odette knows he was lying.“It’s done,” said Odette.“I’ll be honest with you, but promise me you won’t get mad at me,” Rion said in a serious tone.Odette thought for a moment before finally nodding her head. “I won’t get mad,” she said while smiling.“Umm… um….” Rion was hesitant to say what he wanted to say. His face was red because he felt embarrassed and scared at the same time.He grabbed Odette’s hand and made her sit on his lap while hugging the girl tightly, preventing her from running away after hearing what he was about to say.
“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
