“Did I sleep very long?” Lucifer asked.
Odette nodded again with a faint smile. Lucifer stepped closer to the guardrail, watching the snow fall slowly.
“How long?” he asked the girl who stood beside him.
“Two months.”
Lucifer turned to face Odette. He took her hand and pulled her into his arms. He sat on the guardrail while looking at the girl’s face, which was only an inch away from his face.
“So, how is it? Do you want to marry me?” he asked, making Odette stunned.
“M-marry?”
Lucifer smiled gently. When he was like that, he looked like Rion. Everything would have been easier if Lucifer didn’t hate Rion, but the reality was different.
“Huh?” Odette was surprised when Lucifer suddenly stood up and carried her.
“Let’s go?”
“Where to?”
Meanwhile, Odette and Anwen were still looking for Lucifer. They had searched many places, but they couldn’t find the man anywhere. “Where exactly is my brother?” Anwen muttered. Odette who heard it felt very anxious. Arlo who also followed them with Tyson made his horse gallop beside Dan. “Princess, what exactly happened to the king?” he asked curiously. “Don’t ask. Just look for him,” Anwen said a bit curtly, surprising Arlo with her cold attitude. “We split up. If you meet the king first, tell us quickly, and don’t meet him right away,” Odette said. Arlo and the others were confused as to why they couldn’t just meet him when they saw the king. When Tyson listened to the order, he said they couldn’t split up and take the risk. “Her Highness the Queen was kidnapped recently. The enemy who kidnapped he
Damian’s opponent had just been carried off the arena. “The next challenger is Lucifer!” “Your turn.” Lucifer stood up and walked into the arena. Seeing his figure, several people who realized his appearance was similar to their king felt surprised and confused. They whispered and asked whether the man in the arena was the king or not. However, most of them did not believe it because they thought there was no way the king was here. “So, you’re the next challenger?” Damian smiled lightly as he folded his fingers. At this moment, Lucifer also showed his evil smile. “Let’s finish this quickly and then buy the ring.” After that, he immediately rushed to attack Damian and fight the burly man. *** It was already night. The snow was falling heavier. Anwen and Odet
Odette and Anwen were still on the road, searching for Lucifer. “Anwen, what if Rion isn’t there?” “We’ll look elsewhere.” Odette took a deep breath. “Sister Ody, beside the house, has Lucifer ever taken you anywhere else?” Anwen asked, and Odette said never. For a moment, Arlo and Tyson who followed behind looked at each other. They were very curious about what really happened, but the two girls didn’t want to explain anything to them. *** Crack! Aagh! Lucifer had just broken his opponent’s arm. He then dragged his opponent’s body then slammed it to the floor just like he did to Damian before. After that, he threw him out of the arena. Lucifer was declared as a winner again. The eighth challenger withdrew in fear at the sight of Lucifer’s cruelty towards h
Three hours later, Lucifer finally left the place, followed by three people behind him. “Take this and stop following me.” He gave the five gold coins that were agreed upon from the start. The three people were very excited and took the five coins right away. “Wow, thank you.” Lucifer ignored them and kept walking ahead, but he stopped when he realized that the three of them were still following him. He looked at the three people very sharply, making the people surprised. “Do you still have business with me?” he asked coldly. For a moment, his hazel eyes shone eerily in the darkness. “N-no.” “Actually, we want to return this to you.” One of them returned two of Lucifer’s gold coins. “You have worked hard. It would be outrageous to split the prize in half,” the man added. “Stop following me,” said Lucif
All of them finally went back and arrived at the palace in the morning. Last night’s incident really made everyone confused and kept wondering what really happened to the king.Now, Odette and Rion were already in their room. Doctor Alex checked the condition of the two and then gave some medicine.“Thank you,” Odette said to Doctor Alex.“Please take good care of yourself. If there’s anything, tell the maid to call me," said the doctor.Odette nodded and thanked him once again.Doctor Alex and the nurse came out of the room. Odette then walked over to Rion who was lying on the bed.The man could barely move. Lucifer was really too much.Odette got into bed and cleaned the wounds on Rion’s body. After that, she applied the ointment and sprinkled the powder medicine that Doctor Alex had given.&nb
Trish tilted his body and covered his head with a pillow, trying to sleep. However, he was so restless that it was hard to drift into his dreamland.Anwen’s flushed face as he came closer to the girl crossed his mind again, and it bothered him even more.Trish sat down and contemplated. Anwen’s awkwardness whenever he came closer to her made him feel that the girl really liked him. He approached her because of a whim, but if Anwen really liked him, then it seemed that he had played with the girl’s feelings without realizing it.He didn’t love Anwen. To him, Anwen was just a little girl. Rather than a partner, she was more suited to being a sister.Trish laid down again and closed his eyes to sleep. After a few minutes, he finally fell asleep. His consciousness then drifted into a dream.In his dream, he saw himself as a child walking alone under the evenin
Trish asked the maid about Anwen’s whereabouts, and the woman told him that Anwen was in Doctor Alex’s room.When Trish got there, he ran into Anwen who had just come out of Doctor Alex’s room. The girl looked surprised to see him there.For a moment, Trish studied Anwen from head to toe.“Are you okay?” he asked.Anwen looked at him in confusion because they had only met two hours ago and Trish had asked how she was before.“Yes. What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly ask about my condition over and over?”“Nothing particularly. Is it wrong for me to ask? If you’re fine, then that’s good!” Trish said curtly.“Why do you look annoyed?”“Who’s annoyed? I’m fine!” Trish turned around and left Anwen with an annoyed fee
Odette looked at the two men who were still silent in their place. They didn’t even utter a single word, making Odette suspicious. “Did I really bother you?”“No,” Rion and Trish replied at the same time.“Then, why are you silent?”“Nothing.” Rion and Trish answered in unison again.“You look like someone who wants to cheat, but you can’t because I’m here.”“That’s absurd,” said Rion. Odette stood up from her seat and walked over to the two men. “Rion, I have something I want to say,” she said with a serious face, making Rion and Trish also put on a serious face.“What is it?” Rion asked.“I’m going out.” Trish chimed in because he thought the two of them needed some space to talk.
