Anwen backed away and accidentally hit the table. She almost fell, but Trish was always on alert. The man pulled Anwen, so she didn’t fall backwards. However, because he purposely pulled her strong enough, the girl fell into his arms instead.
Anwen’s nose hurt from hitting the man’s muscular chest, but she ignored it because her heart felt like it was going to explode right now.
“Are you okay?” Trish asked, taking a half step back to make some distance. When he saw Anwen, the girl’s face was as red as a tomato.
He was getting more and more convinced, but he was also cruel for constantly making Anwen puzzled. He looked at Anwen without blinking. A sweet smile curved up on his lips.
“W-why are you looking at me like that?” Anwen asked with a stammer.
“Nothing. I just realized that your eyes are so beautiful. I wonder why I didn&
The fire blazing in the side hall soared as it devoured the building’s wall.Rion’s eyes widened at seeing the enormous fire. All the men worked together to extinguish the fire using the equipment they could find.“Where’s Anwen?!” The Arawn King asked frantically. In front of him, there was only fire. He didn’t see anything other than that.“She’s inside. Just before the explosion, I saw Princess Anwen inside. The princess was just running to save herself, but the next explosion occurred, and she was trapped. I panicked and immediately reported it!”Hearing that, Rion was very worried about Anwen, and he immediately ran to save the girl.He took off his coat and soaked it in water. Then, he ran through the fire. The fifth prince and sixth prince followed him in the back. Meanwhile, the other princes joined in with everyone to
Everyone who saw Rion, Trish, Anwen, the fifth and sixth prince coming out of the fire approached and helped them right away. Two doctors who had been sent by the Arawn King immediately stepped forward.Those who had just come out of the sea of fire were truly relieved when they managed to breathe freely in the fresh air and felt the cold wind touching their skin.Rion laid Anwen down on the ground and the girl coughed repeatedly.“Anwen, wake up. Anwen!” He patted Anwen’s cheek, trying to make the girl sober.His worries for Anwen hadn’t gone away, but Elis and Nadin came over and told him about Odette being taken away by a group of people. Elis explained what had happened in a panic.“Your Majesty.” Trish who heard it felt anxious, but the pain in his back was really excruciating that he couldn’t do anything.Rion t
The horse galloped away from the carriage that Odette had ridden before. In the back, there was a horse carrying Lady Lucia who was still wearing her wedding dress. Somehow, the kidnapping scene looked very beautiful. While on the horse, Odette thought back to when she was taken out of the palace. The people they brought were not only her and Lady Lucia, but there were other three women. Odette wondered. Where were the three women? The masked people suddenly let her down from the carriage and continued the journey on horse. The route they passed by was straight, and they didn’t take a turn even once. There were two reasons they transferred her to a horse. First, so that they could get to their destination faster. Second, the palace troops chasing them were close, so they had to move faster. Meanwhile, Rion and the others continued to chase the masked people. He spurred the horse very fast. Ev
Odette took a step back warily, but she was already trapped.The man behind her restrained himself from killing her while the man at the front kept getting closer to capture her.Her condition was getting weaker. The blood wasn’t coming out of her neck anymore, but the white color of the open wound looked really bad.As her brain tried to think about what she should do to buy some more time, someone bolted and hit the man in front of her.The man shook his head because he felt dizzy.Odette didn’t know what had happened, but she was suddenly in the arms of a young man. At first, she thought that the person was Rion, but it wasn’t.“Who are you?” Her vision was a bit blurry, but she could see the young man’s pair of amber eyes as he looked at her.“Drystan.” The young man smiled gently.
The carriage arrived at the palace safely, and King Arawn immediately greeted them. Everyone was shocked when they saw Odette was injured, and Lady Lucia, who was today’s bride, suddenly became a prisoner.The fourth prince got off the carriage while being supported by the second prince. King Arawn was confused by this situation as well as Duke Adhelard.“Oh, my God. Are you alright?” Queen Clara and Princess Whitney approached Odette.“Whitney, take Queen Odette to her room to rest.” Empress Hera, who had just come out of the palace, gave orders to her daughter in a gentle voice.“All right!” Princess Whitney stepped forward to lead Odette, but Odette felt reluctant to let go of Rion’s hand. She was worried that in a situation like this Rion went out of control.Seeing the look in Odette’s eyes on him, Rion held the girl&rsqu
Lady Lucia knelt down and wept bitterly. She apologized to Duke Adhelard who was very surprised by what his son and daughter did. “Father, I’m sorry. I don’t love Prince Noorman, I just love Zerge.” Lady Lucia wept bitterly. However, Duke Adhelard, who felt very embarrassed, immediately slapped the girl so hard until she fell to the floor. “Lucia!” Zerge, who was previously kneeling at the back, stood up and helped Lucia to get up. After that, he knelt before Duke Adhelard and begged for forgiveness for Lucia. “Please don’t hurt her. This was all my plan. I forced her to come with me. You can kill me, but don’t hurt her.” Zerge clasped his hands together, pleading earnestly. The actions he took showed that he really loved Lucia, and he was ready to risk his life for the girl he loved. Lady Lucia shook her head. “No no, I wasn’t forced at all. I was the one who asked him to take me away and fo
“Then, what will happen to the two of them? Will they be sentenced to death?” “It has not been decided, but there is a possibility that Hanry Adhelard will be sentenced to death for trying to kill Prince Noorman and me.” Odette was surprised. “Hanry… tried to kill you?” Rion nodded. “When he blocked me from chasing you, he tried to kill me. Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Rion smiled gently. Odette sympathized with Duke Adhelard. If Hanry died, then it meant he had lost his two sons and both of them died because they were sentenced to death. “If Prince Noorman and I forgive him, then he will be free,” Rion said. “Then, will you forgive him?” “What do you think? Should I forgive him? During a fight with him, I said that I swore not to let him go if someone else hurt you. If you don’t forgive him, then neither w
Meanwhile, Rion woke up from his sleep. For a moment, he looked at Odette’s face while he was still hugging her. As usual, the girl looked very peaceful when she was sleeping. After he was satisfied looking at her, he sat down carefully so as not to wake her up. When Rion looked at the window, the sky was completely dark. It seemed he slept long enough because when he laid down, the sky was still yellow. At first, he planned to just close his eyes for a while, but he fell asleep instead. The sleeping pill was beside him, so no wonder he fell asleep easily. Ahh... Rion smiled and laughed at himself inwardly. After he regained all his senses, he got out of bed and walked toward the door, leaving the room. His goal was going to the detention room to meet Zerge. “Do you need something, Your Majesty?” A servant came over when he saw Rion come out of his room. “No, thank you.
