After meeting Lula, Odette returned to the research institute and met with Anwen and Doctor Alex. They had made an appointment beforehand. Anwen wanted to accompany her to meet Lula, but she had to prepare her presentation on the sleeping ball she had developed.
When they went to Arawn, Doctor Alex had tested the sleeping ball and shown it to Mr. Verhovent, a famous alchemist and teacher. There were many talented alchemists who had been born from his cold hands. Doctor Alex was one of them. He became a medicine expert.
Doctor Alex expressed his opinion objectively and praised Anwen’s sleeping ball. Hearing Doctor Alex’s praise, the alchemists on the team didn’t dare to show the disapproving and cynical attitude they had shown when Anwen came to visit for the first time.
Odette asked Doctor Alex to accompany Anwen because she knew how people treated the girl. To put it simply, Odette used Doctor Alex as
Duchess Scarlet smiled sarcastically, feeling proud of her family. Even though Scarlet wasn’t the number one family who was feared, Scarlet also couldn’t be underestimated.When she was feeling proud, Cristela continued her words. She spoke with a cold voice.“Even so, I have a limit to my patience with people who are so presumptuous of me. You came here to threaten me. Do you think I’ll just let you go after this?”At this moment, fear rose in Duchess Scarlet’s heart. She just realized that she had made a rash move. Yet, she didn’t want to admit it.“What are you going to do? Report me? I heard that recently your relationship with Rion has improved. I can destroy it again using the excuse of his mother’s death.”Cristela laughed when she heard this. She looked terrifying when she laughed, but a few seconds later, the la
One by one people left the research institute. Not long after that, a huge explosion occurred from one of the rooms in the building and caused the fire to overflow.Instantly, everyone panicked. Tyson and the guards rushed to the test room, but they were blocked by several masked men.Odette and the three others ran to get out of the room, but three burly men wearing masks blocked their way.Anwen stared intently and warily at them.“Who are you guys?” she asked but the three people did not answer and instead attacked them.Anwen came forward and fought with them.“Be careful, Anwen!” Odette shouted. She also came forward to help Anwen, but her martial art was nothing compared to them.One of her hands was twisted and being held behind her back, and she was given an injection which instantly knocked her unconscious
Derby spurred through the strong winds. Rion always felt scared whenever Odette went out of the palace, and now the thing he was afraid of had happened. ‘Odette, you must do your best to survive. I will be there soon.’ After a few hours, they finally arrived at the research institute. It turned out that the incident caused casualities. The atmosphere in the health center was busier than usual. “Brother!” Anwen approached and immediately hugged Rion while crying. Rion stroked Anwen’s hair once, then he let go of her embrace. He observed his sister and saw some bruises on the girl’s face. Trish also saw it and got worried. “Your Majesty.” Tyson came over, and Rion looked directly at him. “I and the others apologize, Your Majesty,” Tyson said, daring to take responsibility for his negligence. “What clues
Hanry smiled sarcastically. “I can’t force you to believe me. If you don’t believe me, it’s up to you. I don’t care. Besides, I don’t need anyone’s permission to do this,” he said casually. Anwen was not happy to see the man, but Hanry didn’t care in the slightest. “Let him stay here. The more we search, the sooner we can find Queen Odette.” “But Trishy, what if he’s lying? What if he has an evil plan?” “I’ll be watching him.” Tyson came out of a room, and he was also surprised to see Hanry here. Rion approached and asked about the witnesses. Tyson replied, “A member of the anesthesia team just regained consciousness and testified that he saw the people after light came out of a crystal in one of their hands.” “The people who have the teleportation crystal are only the royal family,” Hanry said, and
Rion held his breath when he heard all of that. The face of his mother who was crying with blood all over her body while saying her last wish to him that night flashed in his mind. It made his body tremble with anger. Cristela noticed Rion’s current expression. She knew that Rion was furious and was very surprised. She then gave Duchess Scarlet a sharp glance, and Duchess Scarlet was satisfied with Cristela’s reaction. After a long silence, Rion spoke again. “I’m asking both of you about Odette, so just answer what I ask, and you, Scarlet, mind your attitude!” “Oh, I’m sorry, Your Majesty. I thought you’d like what I just said. I just feel sorry for your mother who didn’t get justice.” “Scarlet,” Rion exclaimed with great emphasis. The maroon-haired woman in front of him greatly provoked his anger. “About Queen Odette hm...” Scarlet crossed her arms and smiled lopsidedl
After saying that, Hanry entered the part of the building that was still intact. Tyson followed suit, feeling the man could help the search of the queen. Hanry looked around, observing every situation. “I heard Queen Odette was in the test room before she was kidnapped. Where was it?” Harry asked, and Tyson immediately showed the way. “Here,” Tyson said as they reached the front of the room. The surroundings were messy, but the test room didn’t catch on fire. He walked into the room and checked every item inside. “We’ve checked this room many times and haven’t found any clues,” Tyson explained. After checking again, Harry also found nothing. “I want to ask you, can you really use the blood?” Tyson asked. He really wished it could be done. This was the second time he had failed to protect Queen Odette. He felt very embarrasse
Aerith, who saw Rion coming, couldn’t take her eyes off the man and started crying because she felt moved. Rion looked at the man in front of him with a murderous glare. He dashed forward and threw a fist at him, but the man had good reflexes and dodged the attack in time. Rion’s hard blow produced a wave of air that shattered the walls of the room. Aerith was shocked to see that, and she froze at the sight of the two men fighting in front of her. Every time she saw the man sent by her mother hit Rion hard, she cursed in her heart. Then, she held her breath when she saw Rion give the man a fatal blow as if to kill him. This was just a play. Their plan was to fight Rion and his troop for a while before escaping, but Rion didn’t seem to be letting them escape. The two men jumped back, then attacked each other, exchanging blows. Rion ducked his head to avoid his opponent’s
Rion rode on horseback towards the capital of Carolus, planning to go to the medical center in that place. Along the way, Aerith didn’t say anything and just hugged him tightly.Rion didn’t feel suspicious at all. When the girl was kidnapped by Zerge and his group, Odette also just hugged him tightly after being rescued.At this moment, Aerith’s feelings were mixed. She felt like she had stolen something, and it gave her an uncomfortable feeling. However, seeing Rion with her right now, she felt very happy and was not willing to let go of that happiness.To harden her heart, Aerith recalled Odette’s arrogant attitude and told herself that she didn’t have to feel sorry for the girl. Rion was hers. She was the first to love the man. Odette was just a new person, as well as Rose’s substitute. It wasn’t her who snatched Rion away, but Rose and Odette who had snatched Rion from her.
