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,
The wedding day that had been discussed for a long time, and had many pros and cons, had finally arrived.Today was the wedding day of Princess Anwen D. Panther and Lord Kaven Carolus. All members of the Carolus’s family attended the wedding. None of them wanted to pass up the chance to see their family member crowned as the new King of Panthera.Duchess Carolus constantly complimented her son in front of all her high-status friends, making people envy her.Today was the day that belonged to the Carolus Family. Those who were already at the top would increasingly climb to a higher place until it was difficult to reach.Outside and inside the palace, knights were running around to secure the sacred event.No less busy, the servants and maids also walked around to deliver drinks to the nobles who had come.They were also swamped, preparing dishes and making sure everything looked perfect.Trish, who had recovered, returned to the
Kaven saw his hands intertwined together with Anwen’s. He lowered them, then took a step back.“I can’t do this,” he said, shocking everyone.Kaven took a deep breath and continued his speech. He turned to the bride and said, “Sorry, Anwen. I can’t marry you.”“KAVEN!” Duke Carolus stood up and snapped loudly. He growled,“Do you realize what you’re saying?!” he growled.Duchess Carolus stood up to calm her husband. In an instant, the atmosphere became very noisy.“Calm down… everyone is looking at you,” she said.“Didn’t you hear what your beloved son has just said?!” Duke Carolus was so angry that his face turned red. The thing that Kaven did was an insult to Anwen and the royal family.Adam Carolus also looked furious. He felt like slapping his grandson right now.The noble ladies who heard that l
“Disperse!” Roul gave instructions, and the knights immediately spread out into formation to protect every guest in the room.“Oh, my God! You guys are overreacting. I just came here to congratulate my little sister. You must be pleased to see your brother come. Rright, Honey?” Aiden walked into the hall.“If all of you didn’t try anything funny, I wouldn’t do anything too,” he added when he saw all the knights glaring at him, like a beast staring at its prey.The royal knights were currently looking at Aiden warily. After all, the safety of the people there was their priority.Aiden sat in a guest seat when the seat owner stood up and looked at him fearfully. He then drank the wine that was on the table and put on a very relaxed attitude.Anwen couldn’t blink and kept looking at her brother, Aiden, in disbelief.
“How could something as important as this be kept secret from us?” Richard D. Scarlet was still upset.“As I said earlier, it was only based on the king’s presumption. Although there were things that made our suspicion even stronger, there was no concrete proof yet. Everything is still speculation. His Majesty the King has not announced this to avoid unnecessary anxiety.” Trish responded calmly.“I don’t understand. Isn’t Gerald already killed by Aathreya? How can he help Aiden?” This time it was Myles Camilo who asked the question.“Aathreya suspects that Gerald’s soul is not destroyed. He said that Aiden and Gerald made a soul contract. It seems Gerald gives his power to Aiden for revenge, and in exchange, Aiden will give his body to Gerald after his goal is achieved. When Gerald has Aiden’s body, he will come back alive," explained Trish.&
“Do you want revenge?” Anwen asked as she raised one of her eyebrows.“Yes,” Trish replied. He looked back at the girl who had officially become his wife a few hours ago.“So, you married me because you want revenge?” Anwen asked again.“Yes.”Anwen stood up.“Get out! We are divorced!” she growled while pointing towards the door. When Trish heard that, he smirked.While looking at Anwen, he said, “Think carefully before kicking me out. I’m afraid that if I leave, you will cry.”Trish leaned back and crossed his arms.“Trishy… sob... please don’t go,” he said mockingly, mimicking Anwen’s expression.Anwen’s eyebrows dived down sharply. “Are you mocking me?”
The cold air made people huddle under the thick blankets or stay in front of the fireplace. However, the newlyweds in the dimly lit room were busy rocking the bed.After giving a fair share to the right and left mounds, Trish pulled out his prided sword that he had never used on any battlefield. Even though it was never used, it didn’t mean it was rusty.Anwen held her breath when she saw that. It was huge and didn’t seem to be knocked out easily. She actually married a true knight.Out of curiosity, Anwen held it. She gulped nervously as she felt how big it was. For some reason, she was afraid if it entered her, would it fit?She closed her eyes as Trish climbed over her and prepared to penetrate. Her eyes shut even tighter when she felt the sword's tip touch her down there.“Ahk.” She winced in pain as Trish pushed his sword inside.Three seconds later, she opened her eyes and groaned softly. She felt the pain grow
“Don’t put on a fake smile in front of me,” Trish said to Kaven.Hearing that, Kaven’s smile slowly faded, and his face became more serious. Trish watched Kaven change calmly.“Why did you do it? I know you really like Anwen,” Trish asked.“I do like her, but like I said, I will never hurt a woman. It is the principle I have maintained until now, and I will maintain it for the rest of my life,” Kaven said firmly.“What’s more, I know she loves you, and you love her. I am the third person among you. Anwen was forced to accept her marriage to me. I saw her smiling when she was with me, but her eyes showed different things. During the test, I repeatedly saw her looking at you, Chief. At first, I thought it was because you are close. I didn’t think those feelings existed between you two until that incident finally happened."Kaven took a deep breath and continued his speech.&ldqu
“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
