“You forced Lucia to live with Prince Noorman to save Hanry. That’s a very good choice.” It sounded like a praise, but Rion was actually mocking the duke.
“It’s none of your business,” Duke Adhelard said indifferently.
“You’re trapped in a hole that you dug yourself. You teamed up with Arawn to bring me down, and once you get the power, you will also bring down Arawn,” Rion said very frankly, making Duke Adhelard surprised, but he covered it with a flat expression on his face.
“Unfortunately, your plans were ruined by your own children,” Rion added. “You married Lucia to Prince Noorman, then married Hanry to Anwen and incited the palace council to dethrone men and propose Anwen as my successor. If Anwen becomes a queen, Hanry automatically becomes the king and rules Panthera. After that, you will use Panthera to overthrow Arawn. Good plan, but you un
Nadin sighed. “I regret calling him merciful.”Odette pondered, remembering the punishment given to Lucia. Rion told her that Lucia would write a guilty statement to the royal family, then read it out in the plaza. This punishment was obvious. It was to humiliate Lucia.However, the question was, would Prince Noorman let Lucia be humiliated? Lucia had chosen to stay with him to save Hanry.How would Prince Noorman free Lucia from that punishment? Even though he accepted Lucia and could act as if nothing had happened but could his family do the same? Of course not.Lucia would live under the disdain of the royal family.“What do you think of this, Your Highness?” Elis asked in a curious tone.“Lucia is caught in a long-term problem.”Hearing that, Nadin immediately nodded. “She will probably have t
At the same time, Odette and Rion walked in and found Prince Drystan standing by the window, facing them while smiling. “Welcome, Brother-in-law,” he said.The couple furrowed their brows in unison.“Do you realize where you are now?” Rion asked in a flat tone.“I’m sorry, Brother-in-law. I wanted to talk to you privately, but everyone always followed you. The only place they can stop following you is this room. Please forgive my impudence.” Prince Drystan put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly as a sign of apology.When the prince spoke, Odette paid close attention to him. The young man’s tone was calm and composed. His smile was also friendly and warm.Until now, he still even called Rion by the nickname of ‘brother-in-law.’ It meant that he still considered Rion as his brother-in-law. He didn’t seem to bla
Prince Drystan had left the Arawn Kingdom, but he left some of his subordinates to stay with Lord Blois until Zerge finished all his punishments.At the same time, Lady Lucia was writing a guilty statement to the Arawn family, which she was going to read out in the plaza.“Even though Prince Noorman accepted you, don’t expect me to accept you as my daughter-in-law,” Queen Clara said coldly.Lucia just continued what she wrote, sadness clearly etched on her face. Sometimes, tears fell on the paper. She realized that her life was completely ruined.Meanwhile, Odette accompanied Anwen to say goodbye to Prince Noorman who was still being treated in the infirmary.There was the fifth prince sitting by the bed, trying to persuade Prince Noorman who wanted to get up and get off the bed.“Aish, Brother, don’t come down, or I will be scol
After saying a few words as a formality and a form of courtesy, Rion and his entourage returned to Panthera Kingdom.Duke Adhelard was still staying in Arawn Kingdom to sort things out. Rion felt that the incident would definitely destroy Arawn and Adhelard’s relationship although not completely, but there must be some estrangement.That was good!The sound of horses’ hooves and the wheels of a carriage passing through the road were noisy.“Rion, what did Prince Drystan say to you? And who is Freddy?” Odette started a conversation in the carriage.“Freddy is the older brother of the late Queen Isabelle. He told Zerge to kidnap you for revenge.” Rion only gave half the information.“I see.” Odette thought that Freddy wanted to have revenge against Rion. “Drystan doesn’t seem to blame you for Rose&rsqu
For a few minutes, the only sound in the room that could be heard was the sound of spoons clashing against the bowls and plates. It sounded very calm.Freddy ate his food while watching Dario.“Is there something wrong with my face?” Dario asked when he realized he was being stared at.“There’s nothing wrong with your face but something wrong with your attitude,” Freddy said.“Oh, really?” Dario looked at Freddy while putting the spoon of food into his mouth.“You’ve changed. Normally, you would throw a tantrum if someone hurt Isabelle, but now you haven’t done anything to the person who killed her even though you already know who did it. Why? Are you afraid of Aathreya or do you care about the child you abandoned?"“Both of them.”“What a coward.”
The atmosphere in the kitchen was very warm. Rion’s laughing and joking was normal for Odette, but for the servants and maids, it was a very rare phenomenon.“His Majesty the King looks very different in front of Her Highness the Queen. ““Of course. The queen is his wife, and he loves her very much. Hurry up and do your job.”The two maids in front of the stove chattered.Amy, who was listening to them while looking at the two couples whose faces were covered in flour and laughing, was happy. She even smiled broadly.‘Now, he really has come back to life,’ she thought, focused on Rion.Three hours later, the bread and honey cake were finally done.“Odette, what do you think if I retire from being a king and open a cake shop?” Rion asked as he put the cake on a plate.
“Who did you call a criminal?” Odette asked.“Rion.”“You’re not a criminal.”“I’m not Rion. You told Rion not to blame himself. Then, who should he blame for his mother’s death?”Odette was surprised. “What do you mean?”Rine was silent. There was no expression on his face at all. His hand pulled the tablecloth off and walked over to Odette, making Odette feel a little tense.“I’m not evil. I just want to protect him from making the same mistake. Besides, this world is very unfair to him. There is only sadness everywhere. If he dies, he won’t suffer anymore.”Odette’s eyes stared at the man sadly. Rion had been very desperate in his life.Rine walked to pull his belt and walked over to Odette
After cleaning up and changing clothes, Rion was currently lying on his wife’s lap.Odette, who was very worried because of what had happened earlier, became very considerate and wanted to pamper the man. Of course, Rion didn’t mind being treated like that.“It turns out that pain can also give happiness,” said Rion, looking at Odette who was stroking his hair lovingly.“What do you mean?”“You care more about me.”“Did I act like I didn’t care about you all this time?”“Of course, I know you care about me. It’s just that when I’m sick like this, I can feel that you care more about me. I have to thank Rine for this.”SLAP!As soon as he said that, he was hit on the forehead.“You are talking nonsense,&r
