Odette walked to a chair and sat there. She was physically and mentally tired.
“Odette.” Rion really wanted to hug her, but every time he moved, the girl would immediately glare at him. At this rate, he felt like he was going to cry.
“Wait until Amy and Marta come,” Odette said.
“What? Why?”
“You must be sterilized first. Only then you can approach me.”
“What do you mean?” Rion furrowed his brows in confusion.
“You must take a bath and scrub your body, face, and lips thirty times.”
“I’ll do it now.”
“No, wait for Amy and Marta first. They’ll help you.”
“I can take a bath myself.”
Odette glanced at Rion’s hand, which was still bandaged. “Just wait
Outside, the first snow had started to fall, but they didn’t feel the cold at all. Rion even started to sweat profusely, although he had taken a shower. While waiting for the effects of the orgasm to wear off, he decided to go down and enjoy the swan's thighs... um his wife’s thighs. Odette held her breath for a moment, looking at Rion who was between her legs. The man bent while biting her inner thigh lightly. It was ticklish. She slightly got goosebumps as the man’s breath brushed across the skin of her thighs. From the right thigh, he switched to the left thigh. Rion licked, bit, and gave some red marks there. “Rion, I want more,” said Odette very honestly. When Rion heard it, he looked at the girl’s face for a moment, then looked at her vagina. It looked bigger, and there was a lot of fluid coming out, indicating that Odette was very aroused and ... she was wanting for more. Odette got up
After getting ready and having breakfast, Rion went straight to his office and shared with Trish about Odette awakening her power. “Your Majesty, calm down first.” Rion brushed his face roughly. “You know it’s very urgent. Odette could be in danger,” he said in a tense voice. “Did Roul inform you about Aathreya?” He asked, and Trish said no. “Your Majesty, I understand you are worried, but the problem of having Gerald’s subordinates sensing the magical aura of the queen is not necessarily right now. We must resolve the matter at hand first.” Rion was silent for a moment to calm himself down. “You’re right. Have you prepared all the evidence and witnesses against Duchess Scarlet properly?” “Yes, Your Majesty. We can get her executed on charges of murdering Doctor Cecilia,” Trish replied. “Good.” Rion stared at the pile of doc
At the Scarlet residence, Duke Scarlet held a meeting with the elders of the family to talk about Duchess Scarlet, as well as the divorce proposed by Rion.“What? How could Michelle do such a thing? She must have been slandered!” Duchess Scarlet’s mother didn’t believe it at all.“Darwin, you must save her at all costs!” Duchess Scarlet’s father chimed in. He was the leader of the Scarlet main family.“After all, she is like this because you failed to take care of your wife,” he said sarcastically.“Enough! You’ve always blamed Darwin, but you didn’t see how your daughter behaved!” Darwin’s father, who was the leader of Scarlet’s second family, glared at the father of his son’s wife.“How dare you! Did you just criticize the main family?”“Why not
Doctor Alex did a thorough examination while Rion and Anwen watched it anxiously. He touched Odette's arm and asked her, “Your Highness, what are you feeling? ““My chest hurts. My stomach too,” Odette spoke while holding her stomach. She turned to hug Rion as the pain increased from time to time.The man shifted slightly, so Odette was in a comfortable position while leaning on him.“Brother, use this.” Anwen handed her brother a new handkerchief as she saw that the handkerchief in Rion’s hand was already covered in blood. The man accepted it and then wiped Odette’s hand again.“Is she like this because of the poison?” Rion recalled Duchess Scarlet’s words saying that the woman had poisoned Odette.“Your Highness, since when did this happen? Is this the first time?’“Y-yes, t
There was only silence. Odette watched Rion daydreaming. It seemed the man had been daydreaming too much since morning.At first, she thought that Rion was like that because he was so worried about the kidnapping incident that happened to her and also about the crimes that Duchess Scarlet had done to him and Rose… Moreover, the thing that bothered him the most must be about Cristela.Odette was trying to reassure Rion that she was fine, so the man didn’t have to worry again.“If you look like that, I begin to think that my illness is severe,” she said while smiling widely. Three seconds later, her face became serious when she saw Rion put on a very serious expression. “What’s wrong? Is my illness really that bad?”“It’s not confirmed yet. I want to ask you something.” Rion looked at Odette deeply.Because Rion was very
“I will never forgive him.” Odette clenched her jaws. Just from listening to Rion's story, she already hated the evil prince with all her heart. “What about the emperor?” Rion asked her again. “If I can, I want to kill him.” Odette really put herself in the shoes of a tricked girl in Rion’s story. She was easy to empathize with others, so it made her become like that. She easily understood the suffering felt by others. “What... if you become the daughter of the girl? Would you hate the child of the wife who was loved by the prince?” Odette was silent and thought for a while. “Yes,” she replied. “Why? That child doesn’t know anything.” “Yes, but I... am not a very naïve person. Even though I don’t want to hate that child, when I think that the child and her mother are happy over the suffering of me and my mother, I will hate her even if I don’t want to.” Hearing this, Rion was sure that he didn’t want to tell Odette the truth because the girl would hate Rose. However, Odette woul
When the guard saw the king coming, he gave a polite greeting. Now, Rion was standing in front of the bars that imprisoned Cristela. He saw the old woman lying on a piece of cloth while hugging herself.For the first time, he saw how his grandmother was so weak and pitiful.“Are you dead, Old Woman?” He asked without averting his eyes in the slightest from Cristela who was lying with her back to him and facing the wall.Five seconds later, Cristela still didn’t give any answer. She didn’t even move at all. This made his brows furrow. Rion then called the guard and told the man to open the prison door.After the door opened, he went in to check on Cristela’s condition, and he was quite surprised to find the woman had a high fever and was unconscious. Rion didn’t want to care about her, but his actions said otherwise. He took the woman to the infirmary and ordered th
Meanwhile, the doctor that Anwen had asked to call Odette had arrived at the queen’s room. He met Elis at the door.Elis asked what was wrong when she saw the doctor’s panicked face. The doctor then stuttered, telling the maid about what had happened in the infirmary.“I-I don’t know what had really happened, b-but the king suddenly strangled Princess Anwen and wanted to kill her. He also injured the nurse. H-he looked very different from the usual King Rion,” the doctor explained in fright. It was the first time he had seen the king behaving like that.Elis was very surprised to hear that. She then went into the room with the doctor.“Your Highness.”Odette, who was sitting on the edge of the bed chatting with Nadin turned her head when she heard Elis calling her.“What’s wrong?” she asked.&
“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
