"D-do you agree if I get married?" Trish’s answer would let her know how the man felt about her. If Trish agreed to Anwen’s marriage, it meant that he really didn’t have feelings for her.
Waiting for Trish to answer her question made Anwen very nervous.
“Wh-why are you looking at me like that?” she asked as Trish stared at her intently without saying anything.
At this moment, Cristela’s words were playing over and over in Trish’s mind like a broken record. Anwen loved him. He then remembered the painting of himself in the girl’s room, then remembered Arlo’s words that called him insensitive.
Until this second, he still couldn’t believe the fact that the girl in front of him had that kind of feeling towards him.
“Trishy!”
“Huh?” Trish was stunned.
“What’s wrong? Are you all right?”
“Y-yes.” Trish smiled gently and th
Since the food couldn’t be eaten, and it looked like Odette would be dead if she forced herself to eat it, she decided to cook a new dish for both of them.When she came into the kitchen fifteen minutes ago, she was shocked to see the mess Lucifer had made. The kitchen looked as if it had just been hit by a hurricane.How could she not realize when Lucifer made all this mess? The man nearly destroyed the entire kitchen.He broke the legs of the table and chairs and used them as firewood to light the stove, even though the firewood and charcoal were available at the back of the building.It was such a pity that Lucifer didn’t ask her first. Odette was annoyed, but she appreciated the man’s good intentions of not wanting to bother her.She watched Lucifer who was tidying up all the mess. The man was completely the opposite of Rion who was fastidious about cleanliness and tidiness.After the new food was ready, she invited Luc
“Uhk.” Lucifer grimaced as one of the men’s swords slashed at him. He turned around and knocked the man down, but another man lunged at him and kicked him in the chest, causing him to fall to the ground with his back hitting the floor first. Before he could stand up, a kick hit his head, causing him to fall backwards again.When the opportunity arose, they immediately beat him. He was still able to fight back, but he stopped after a while.At this moment, he was very annoyed that he couldn’t use his mana.“STOP! DON’T HIT HIM!” Odette screamed from inside the room. She really panicked to see Lucifer being beaten.Lucifer didn’t give up. He still had the strength to break free from the two men holding him. He was about to punch them, but an arrow stuck to his arm.He was caught again and beaten until his face battered.“That’s enough. We can’t let him die,” ordered the na
Odette fell silent.“Do you want revenge on him?”“He is Rose’s father. He loved his daughter very much, and Rose also loved him very much. Do you still want to take revenge on Dario for me?”She stared deep into Lucifer’s eyes. The man was the same as Rion who really loved Rose, so she didn’t want to get her hopes up.“You better rest now,” Odette said flatly and stepped away to enter her bedroom, but Lucifer stretched out one of his arms, blocking her way.“I asked you, do you want revenge or not?” Lucifer repeated his question. “If you want, I will do it for you.”Lucifer’s words surprised Odette. “You want to do it?”“You think I can’t do it for you?” His words sounded very convincing. Odette could barely blink as she stared at him. This alter of Rion sometimes confused her.“I will prove it.” Lucife
Trish stood by the window, watching the quietness outside. Snow was falling slowly and covered the trees.Odette, who came out of the room and saw the man still not sleeping, approached him.Trish immediately turned his head when he noticed someone’s presence.“Trish, you haven’t slept?”“I’m not sleepy.”“Your back must be sore from sleeping on the hard couch. I’ll get you another pillow.” Since there was only one room in the house, Trish had to sleep on the couch in the living room.Odette really hated letting Trish sleep like that in his current condition, but what could she do? If Lucifer didn’t hate Trish to the point of wanting his death, she would tell Trish to sleep in the bedroom with Lucifer while she slept on the couch. However, she believed that Trish wouldn’t let her do something like that.Trish smiled gently. “Thank you, but that’s not n
Odette looked at Trish intently, doubting her own ears.“You said... you’re sure because your heart doesn’t beat fast when you are around her?”Trish didn’t say anything, and Odette laughed it off. This made Trish look at the queen questioningly.“That’s ridiculous,” said Odette. “How could you use that to conclude whether you like her or not?”“The king said that to me.”“Huh?” Odette was stunned again. “Rion?”Trish, who was innocent, believed Rion’s answer."Your Majesty, how do we know we are in love with someone?"“Your heart beats faster when you’re around her.”Rion’s answer wasn’t wrong, but it couldn’t be used as a parameter.“So you’re pretty sure you don’t love her because your heart doesn’t beat faster when you’re around her?” Odet
Doctor Alex And The Royal CouncilStill in the meeting room, the four royal councils were waiting for Doctor Alex’s answer.“Doctor Alex, just tell me the truth without hiding anything. If the king hasn’t gone mad, how would you explain his behaviour recently? I heard that a while ago he almost killed a nurse and tried to kill Princess Anwen. He also had frequent fights with Knight Trish and he even suddenly attacked the people in the palace.”“I also heard that recently Queen Cristela cut the tongues of two palace staff who were talking about the king acting like a dog and crying like a child. If he hasn’t gone mad, then what is it? Is he possessed by an evil spirit? Or is he like that because Queen Rose’s curse came back again after 6 years?” Pavel Adhelard asked many questions in a sarcastic tone.Doctor Alex knew Pavel Adhelard’s intention. The man just wanted to bring Rion down.“What
Doctor Alex explained that Rion would relapse more often when the man was in a state of stress and depression. Rion’s first personality was Bee, a personality that made him act like a child, but it rarely appeared.It was only after the incident 6 years ago that the other personalities started showing up frequently.For about 2 hours, Doctor Alex gave an explanation about the condition of the king along with the characteristic of all of his personalities.The four royal council members took some time to process it completely. At first, it was difficult to understand the explanation, but slowly they began to understand it.“If the king is like that, then he can’t lead the kingdom. What if he makes the wrong decision when he has a relapse?” Pavel Adhelard gave his opinion.“So far the king has led our kingdom in his complicated conditions, but everything is fine,” Myles Camilo said then looked at Adam Carolus. &ldq
On a cold night like this, hugging each other was the most enjoyable thing Lucifer wanted to do, but not right now when he was in this risky situation.At this moment, Lucifer was feeling hot because Odette kept hugging him while squirming softly, making him want to do something naughty. However, he didn’t dare because he was afraid the girl would be mad at him.He lifted Odette’s arm that was wrapping around his waist as well as the girl’s leg that pressed on his penis.Hercules who missed its mate immediately got hard even though it was only nudged a little. The weather was cold. It should have hibernated, but the opposite was happening. The colder it got, the more eager Hercules was to go into action, and because of that, Lucifer often took cold showers in the middle of the night.Lucifer shifted his body slightly to create some distance, but Odette, whose body was looking for warmth, also moved and hugged him again from behind. The g
“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
