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
Anwen was helping Odette unstitch the coat when Arlo and two other knights came and knocked on the door that was not closed. Anwen turned her head along with Odette."Arlo?"Anwen stopped what she was doing and walked over to the three young men. "I can't join the practice today, sorry for not telling you that I'm not going," she explained."Why?" Arlo raised an eyebrow."It's okay, I just changed my mind.""Come on, Princess. We haven't practiced together in a very long time. We were all very excited when we found out that you are coming. If you don't come, I and the others would be very disappointed. Right, guys?" Arlo looked at his two friends alternately and the two men immediately nodded in approval.While doing her work, Odette occasionally saw four people standing in the doorway. Odette saw Anwen who was very familiar with the knights."Don't disappoint them, Anwen," she said which made the four people there turn to look at her."But Miss Ody."Odette stopped her activities for
“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
