Anwen looked at Trish in annoyance. Two seconds later, she stood up.
“Then, I will break it off myself. I will tell the royal councils that Hanry cheated,” she said, wanting to leave. However, Trish immediately grabbed her hand.
“You could make two families become enemies,” Trish said.
“So you’re saying I should just shut up? Trish, you know what that family did to my brother.” Anwen was irritated by Trish’s decision.
“I told you to leave this to me.” Trish stared deep into the girl’s eyes. “Trust me,” he continued firmly.
For a moment, they looked at each other. Three seconds later, Anwen sat back down and tried to calm herself.
“Then, what’s your plan? You have to tell me,” Anwen insisted.
“The person who smeared Kaven’s blade was Leana’s underling.”
“What? She again?” Anwen was speechless.
<Nadin and Anwen exchanged their clothes. Anwen borrowed Nadin’s maid uniform and coat to sneak out of the pavilion. She put on her coat, then jumped from the window and walked towards the palace.The clothes really helped a lot. Nadin would often go back and forth from the pavilion and palace to convey messages or carry orders from Anwen, so neither the guards nor the knights suspected anything when they saw her walking toward the castle.All Anwen had to do was to make sure they didn’t see her face.Now this palace almost felt like a prison to her. It was very different when her brother was there. She could do all things freely without worrying about anything.Anwen’s main goal was to meet Trish and warn the man about what the Adhelard Family might do to him.Since Trish irritated her, they couldn’t talk much.Anwen came to her brother’s study first because Trish usually stayed there to take care of some work r
When Trish entered the house, five masked men greeted him in the living room. He saw his father and mother tied up and sitting on the floor.Four of the five people stood behind his parents, servants, and guards who were also tied up. Meanwhile, the other person sat on the couch.Trish didn’t know who the four people were, but he knew the person sitting on the couch.Even though half of his face was covered by a mask, Trish could recognize the man. He was Ryan, the leader of the Adhelard Knights.“Welcome back, Commander of Panthera Royal Knights, Trish Marlen,” said Ryan calmly. “Did you bring the things we asked for?” he added.“No, I don’t.” Trish stared at his opponent with a stoic face.“Now Adhelard family is very weak, isn’t it? Besides playing dirty in the duel, you guys want to gang up on me. You even dare to take my parents' hostage. Are you that scared of me that you all
After a commotion that lasted about ten minutes, the living room of the Marlen Residence was quiet again, even more so than before.Blood and corpses filled the room floor. Broken furniture was scattered everywhere. The sight was really horrendous to anyone who saw it.When the wind blew, the smell of blood pooled on the floor could be smelled, although it was faint.Tap, tap, tap…The sound of Ryan’s footsteps echoed through the silence of the room. He walked towards Trish who was lying in a pool of his own blood.“You’re amazing, Knight Trish,” Ryan said as he stood over Trish. For five seconds, he was silent while staring at Trish’s face, who closed his eyes tightly before he looked at the four corpses of the assassins Pavel Adhelard had paid to help him.Ryan knew that there would be casualties in fighting Trish. Instead of sacrificing the Adhelard Knights, he would rather sacrifice them.After
Trish quickly turned around, and he was stunned to see the figure behind him.“Lu-Lucas?” He stiffened in his place for a few seconds. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing right now. A man with navy hair and eyes and a face that was very familiar to him.“You… are you really Lucas?” Trish asked without blinking. Instead of answering his question, Lucas repeated the question he had just asked.“What are you doing here?” Lucas had a displeased look on his face, while Trish was still looking at the man with blank eyes. He needed time to truly believe that the person in front of him was Lucas.“I-I… what do you think it is? Of course, because I’m already dead,” he answered after a while. But the next second, he was shocked because Lucas suddenly grabbed his collar.“I told you not to leave the king! Bastard!” Lucas exclaimed angrily.Trish stared intently at
Under the rain of snow, Anwen knelt in front of Trish’s parents’ graves. She had been there long enough. Her tears occasionally fell when remembering the things they had done together.Anwen already considered the couple as her own parents. Being with them made her feel that she had parents again, but now she had to feel the pain of loss.It was true that not everyone had the opportunity to feel the love of both parents, and she was one of those who did not have that opportunity.When the incident happened, Anwen didn’t see the two of them who were behind the couch along with two servants and two guards.She was too panicked and only focused on Trish. She regretted not being able to save the couple.Kaven, standing beside Anwen, bent down and gently held the girl’s shoulder.“Let’s go. If the commander is awake, someone has
The situation got even more chaotic after the Adhelard Family's evil plans were exposed.Pavel Adhelard continued to deny it. He even brought up the death of Lucas who was sentenced to death for being a victim of slander.“Roul is a Wizard Knight, and he once learned studied underfrom Aathreya. He could have done the same thing that Aathreya did to bring us down,” he said, trying to defend himself.“Why did would Roul want to bring you down?” Richard D. Scarlet asked.“How do you explain your daughter’s actions in spreading the newspapers article about the king’s going mad and attempting to carry out the assassination of Queen Odette and the assault that left the king injured?” Adaline, who was there, also opened her voice sternly.“I think we need to bring in the people at the Lilium housing Residence to serve as witnesses,” said Myles Camilo.“You don’t need to deny ag
The maids in the palace were already so busy preparing for Anwen’s and Kaven’s wedding.All the representatives from the royal palace started to spread news about the marriage to their relatives and citizens of the capital.The news made Kaven’s fans feel heartbroken and upset when they thought of Anwen. They believed that Anwen wasn’t suitable for Kaven. Even though Anwen was a princess of their kingdom, for them, there would never be a girl fit to be Kaven’s bride beside themselves.The Carolus Family was currently the happiest in the kingdom. It was in contrast to the Adhelard Family who was the most miserable family because of the problem they created themselves.Leana had been picked up from her residence, and she was imprisoned. Even Hanry was also put in prison. Although he wasn’t involved in the case of Kaven poisoning and the Marlen Family attack, which le
Inside the silent quiet room, Trish lay down on the bed. He stared at the ceiling while thinking about his meeting with Anwen a while ago. Then, Kaven’s words that said he would be waiting for him to appear on the man’s wedding day with Anwen flashed in his mind again.Just thinking about it made his Trish’s heart ache, especially when he had to see Anwen marry Kaven in person later.Trish put placed his hands over his eyes and cried silently. He had just lost both of his parents and he would soon lose Anwen. The girl he truly loved.He didn’t even have anyone to talk to. He felt that this was the most difficult time in his life.****Leaving Trish and all the problems in the Panthera Kingdom, Odette and Lucifer arrived at Bosa Village. They were currently staying in a simple house that had been prepared for them, while Doctors Alex, Amy, and Elis were staying in another house beside them.“Lucy.” Odette,
