Rion sighed. “I just don’t like the old woman’s pushy attitude.”
Trish smiled, knowing precisely what Rion was thinking. “You want Anwen to live as she wants and to live a happy life. You don’t want to get Anwen into trouble with the government that puts her under pressure, right?”
“Don’t be a smartass,” Rion said and Trish laughed.
“You are a very considerate brother," Trish commented.
“Speaking of Aiden….”
“I’m ninety-five percent sure that King Arawn didn’t know Aiden was still alive, and they didn’t cooperate with each other. They are enemies, but they are on different sides, and it is possible for them to join forces, so we must always keep an eye on them. I have a strong feeling that Aiden is still alive.”
Rion massaged his forehead for a w
Odette turned and smiled again when she noticed the worry on the man’s face. “No. Even though I really miss my previous world, I don’t want to go home. You know why?”“Why?”“Because you are not there.”Hearing those words, Rion’s smile reappeared, and his sad face suddenly brightened.“I just want to stay where you live,” she said, making Rion’s heart feel warm and happy.“Thank you.” Rion returned the hug and stroked the girl’s hair lovingly.They didn’t say anything for a while and enjoyed the serenity and warmth that flowed before Rion finally let go of his embrace and stared intently at Odette.“Odette.”“Hm?”“This place might not be as safe as where you were before.&
Narine released all the herbs that were wrapped around Anwen’s body and Trish watched closely.“Let’s go!” Anwen asked. Trish nodded but suddenly fell silent as she stared at the crystal in her hand.“What is it?” Anwen asked.“Do you have any teleportation crystals in your room? All the king’s crystals are here.”“Then, we’ll teleport there.”“What about your crystal?”“The king lost it.”Before the girl asked why and how, Trish quickly grabbed Anwen’s hand and then focused his mind on Anwen’s room.“Take us there,” he said, and they disappeared from the mountain. Instantly, they appeared on the table in Anwen’s room, but Trish accidentally stepped on the edge of the table and the table flippe
***Three days later, Roul came with Adriel to meet Rion.Rion told Roul about Aathreya's disapperance as well as about the shard of the teleportation crystal that was found on the mountain. Anwen and Narine were also in the room to give a detailed explanation.Anwen always glared at Trish when their eyes accidentally met, while Trish always tensed up every time Anwen looked at him like she wanted to rip her neck out. Trish tried to avoid making eye contact with the girl.On the other hand, Narine put on a very gloomy expression because until today Aathreya hadn’t come back. There was no news about him at all.Roul and Adriel were slightly surprised when they saw the fairy. They did not expect that the fairy still existed in this world, but their attention was immediately diverted when Rion spoke again after a brief silence.“I suspect that Aathre
Anwen was sparring with one of the knights in the center of the practice arena. The girl was vivacious and filled with enthusiasm, making those close to her also filled with enthusiasm.Trish continued to watch the girl, who was smiling broadly. Her smile was so sweet.“Commander.” Arlo came from behind, and Trish turned his head spontaneously.“What are you doing here, Commander?” asked Arlo, sitting down beside his commander.“Just taking a breath of fresh air.”“Oh, I see.” Arlo nodded his head. He was silent for a while, then glanced at Trish, who was looking at the crowd in the practice arena.He followed his commander’s gaze and saw Anwen there. For a moment, he wondered if his commander was watching Anwen?“Arlo,” Trish spoke up after a long silence.
From Doctor Alex’s room, Rion went into the palace kitchen and met Amy and some of the maids who were preparing lunch.The sight of him going in and out of the kitchen was no longer too surprising for everyone because since he got married Rion had often come into the kitchen to make something sweet for Odette.“We’re just about to deliver it,” Amy said with a friendly smile. She looked at Rion lovingly. After all, she once helped Queen Ahana take care of Rion when the king was a baby.Rion came forward and tasted the dishes one by one. He did that for two reasons, first to check the taste, second to make sure whether the food was safe from poison or not. He didn’t doubt Amy, but he just wanted to be sure. After feeling everything was fine, he asked the maid to deliver the food. He also didn’t mind carrying two plates in his hands.They walked to the gazebo near the
Odette took the purple ball and looked at it closely.“Be careful, Sister. Now, it’s easier to break,” Anwen said.Odette remembered the first time she saw the purple ball. When the Green Castle knights chased after them, Anwen threw the ball at the soldiers. The ball broke and emitted green gas. Not long after that, the knights fell off their horses.“You haven’t tested the ball before, right?” Odette asked her.Anwen shook her head. “No, I haven’t.”Odette smiled.“Good. Give this to Doctor Alex, ask him to test this,” she said.Anwen had to be accompanied while doing the trials and errors so that she wouldn’t cause a mess that would be a problem for herself later.“Actually, I planned that too, but I wanted to show it to you first,”
Day by day, time went by fast. King Panthera’s entourage entered the courtyard of the Arawn Royal Palace in the afternoon. The courtyard was very crowded, filled with the invited guests who had also just arrived, as well as the servants and palace officials who greeted the guests.All eyes were on the carriage with the golden head of the Panther cat, waiting for the King of the Panthera Kingdom to come out. Most of them were very impatient to see the new Queen of Panthera. They were very curious to see the woman who had conquered King Arion D. Panther’s heart.The story of Rion, who was depressed after Queen Rose died and became a man who lived without a soul was very well known.Among women, Rion was greatly admired because he was a man who highly valued loyalty. In this era, looking for a man who was only loyal to one woman was like looking for a needle in a haystack.Maybe among ordina
Night had come. Rion and Odette were in their room. Odette already wanted to sleep, but she cancelled her intention when she saw Rion, who was sitting on the back of the bed while daydreaming.Odette, who was in a lying position, sat back up. She then looked at Rion intently.“What’s wrong?” she asked.Rion’s gaze that had been on the wall forward turned to Odette spontaneously. He smiled as he reached out to stroke the girl’s hair.“It’s okay, go to sleep,” he said softly.For a moment, Odette was silent. She looked deeply into the face of the man in front of her.“Are...you thinking of Helen?” She asked hesitantly. She added, “The bride is Lady Lucia Adhelard, that means Lucas’ family is here. Are you restless thinking about them?”Rion lowered his hand. &ldqu
