A week had passed. Dario had recovered, and now he was preparing to head to Panthera Palace with Celestial. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Celestia asked to be sure because soon Dario would enter the enemy's lair. It was possible that he would lose his life in the palace. "As long as you're by my side I feel confident." Dario never missed an opportunity to seduce Celestial. Although it's not very clear, but Dario could see that Celestial was starting to be attracted to him. He was quite confident that he would make Celestial fall in love with him in the near future. Winter was still here. Snow covered the ground very thickly. The cold temperature was twice as piercing every time the wind blew. Celestial did not know that a very long winter was waiting for her, or perhaps she would never feel the warmth of the spring breeze again. After traveling for about five hours, they finally entered the palace gate. The sun's reflection on the cold walls made the palace look sparkling.
Anwen sat pensively on the tree. She felt restless again when she heard that they were going back to the palace. She wanted to come because Odette was going there too, but if she thought about the match-making, she was afraid to go home. "Princess Anwen?" Trish's voice coming over made Anwen's focus shift. "What is the princess doing here?" Trish looked up to see the princess who was sitting back. Not getting a response, Trish then climbed up and sat on the branch next to the branch where Anwen was sitting. "Are you thinking about your match-making with Kaven Carolus?" he asked after a few seconds of silence, and Anwen only answered him with a small nod. "Um." "Why don't you want to be matched with Kaven? He's a handsome young man. He is popular among the girls. Besides that, he is also a very formidable warrior. He has fought with us several times to repel the rebels," said Trish. "I'll tell you, he's very handsome. His hair is golden like the warm morning sun, and his eyes a
All the maids gathered outside the castle and bid farewell to Odette. They hoped that Odette would visit Green Castle again, they would be very happy to welcome her.Odette didn't know why, but she felt a little sad leaving the castle. She also didn't know if she would return to that place or not. After saying goodbye, Odette followed Anwen, and climbed onto Dan's back then started to leave Green Castle for the Panthera Palace with Rion, Trish, and Arlo.As the horses started galloping, Odette thought about everything that had happened. Until now, she still found it hard to believe that she transmigrated to the medieval time and met a king, a princess, a knight, a wizard, and even monsters.She didn't know what other surprises await her ahead. She really still hoped to return to her era.*** Odette was astonished to see the gray and black palace building standing a few meters in front of her. The guards rushed to open the gate when they saw the arrival of the king. The horses trotted
"This is Erythroxylum coca. Was this mixed into Rion's medicine?" Odette was now in Doctor Alex's room. He was the doctor who had been treating and prescribing medicine for Rion. From now on, they would work together. "This is the medicine the king has always taken," said Doctor Alex, a man who was around sixty years of age. The hair on the front and temples of his head seemed to have turned white. He took out a tablet and the size of it took Odette by surprise. The tablet's diameter was about five centimeters and its thickness was up to one centimeter. Odette grabbed it and took a close look and sniffed it. Odette could smell the honey on the tablet. It seemed like there was a mixture of honey in the tablet. In addition to its content, the honey seemed to be used as an adhesive. "The tablet dissolves easily in water," Doctor Alex explained. "Does Rion drink it every day?" Odette asked as she broke the tablet, then took a small piece and tried it. Ugh. It tasted very bitter eve
Sometimes people who told us their problems didn't always want a solution, they just wanted to be heard. So, there was nothing wrong if we took a little time and lent an ear to listen to them, because sometimes, it was the little things that we did that could save them from depression.It had been a minute, but Rion still didn't respond. As he said earlier, he was at a loss as to where to start."Did Rose like red?" asked Odette, breaking the silence. Rion furrowed his brows and looked at Odette in confusion."Why are you suddenly asking that?""Once you told me that Rose liked the color red. Every time I hear her name, I immediately think of red roses. She must be very beautiful."Odette hoped that Rion would reply to her words, and then slowly she would dig up information. Since it was about Rose, it meant it was going to have to do with Lucifer, the most unsettling alter."Um, she really liked the color red." Rion recalled the figure of Rose in his mind. "All her belongings are red
Lucifer and Odette were still standing opposite each other on the terrace."It's not your fault, Rion," said Odette. She was surprised when Lucifer suddenly threw a chair at her. Luckily, she managed to dodge."Don't ever call me by that name. I'm Lucifer, not Rion," said Lucifer in a warning tone. He seemed to really hate Rion.Odette was tense. She had to be extra careful. Lucifer had a very bad temper. Meanwhile, in his subconscious, Rion was in the middle of darkness. He looked around. There was only endless darkness.'Don't ever call me by that name. I'm Lucifer not Rion."'Rion was surprised when he could hear Lucifer's voice speaking to someone in an angry tone, then he became tense when he realized that the person speaking to Lucifer was Odette."Lucifer, don't hurt her!" He shouted while looking in all directions, trying to find Lucifer's figure but found nothing. Rion ran back and forth anxiously. What if Lucifer hurt Odette? Last time, he threw Odette against a wall and inj
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Princess Guen asked in a very gentle tone. Since then, she was surprised to see the man wearing a thick scarf in the middle of a very hot day.Guen was a princess who was admired and coveted by many men due to her beauty and talent.At the age of twenty-five, she had become a reliable businesswoman and now served as the leader of a craftsman's guild, Golden Ash."I'm just a little unwell," Rion said flatly."You must be tired after the long journey. You can rest first," said Cristela after they arrived in front of the room that had been prepared for the two guests. The Naturi Kingdom was a more prosperous kingdom than Panthera, even Panthera had a number of outstanding debts to Naturi. That was the reason why Cristela was so kind towards Edward and Princess Guen."I hope you enjoy your time at Panthera," she added. The two guests thanked them and entered the room that had been prepared for them, followed by the maids who carried their luggage."Can't y
"Ah! Uh!" Rion pulled his neck away when Odette was about to smear the medicine on his neck. He didn't want the medicine to touch him at all, and Odette had to coax and nag him due to his childlike behavior. "Come on. You said you were busy and didn't have much time." "Ugh. If it gets worse, I'll fire you right away!" he threatened. "It won't. Come on!" Odette wanted to roll her eyes but she held back. Rion was restless, but in the end, he complied and instantly froze when Odette got very close to him. He lowered his gaze, and when he saw the face of the girl who was seriously treating his wound, his feelings became strange. He felt like … his heart warmed up? No! He must not allow himself to be attracted to any woman. He didn't want to betray Rose's love, and he had no right to be happy anymore after he killed Rose. He didn't deserve it. He didn't deserve anymore happiness! Odette was still smearing the medicine on Rion's wound and the king closed his eyes. Because the medici
