The next day, King Elbert and Princess Guen continued their journey to Pradis Beach. They thanked King Rion and Her Highness Cristela for hosting them so well, after that they said goodbye to the two people and the palace officials who were there.When the horse carriage bearing the emblem of the Ash leaves passed through the gate, Rion went back into the palace and told everyone to return to their respective activities.Today, Rion spent his time in the study. Yesterday, he had finished a pile of documents, and this morning, the pile of documents returned on his desk, waiting to be read and stamped.Without realizing that the day was getting late, in the training area, the knights were training their muscles, then after that followed by sword training. The knights cheered loudly as Anwen dueled Arlo."LET'S BEAT HIM, PRINCESS!""DON'T LOSE, ARLO!"Arlo had a hard time blocking Anwen's very fast sword attacks."As usual, you are always fast," said Arlo in the middle of the fight. The
A blinding white light appeared in the dark room. A second later, the light disappeared, leaving behind the figure of a wizard with black hair and ruby eyes. The eyes looked around the room. On the walls of the room lined the paintings of the kings and queens of Panthera, who once ruled the country. Starting from the first king to the ninth king, which was currently held by Arion D. Panther. Of the nine kings, Rion was the youngest. He ascended the throne at the age of sixteen to replace the previous king, who died of illness. In addition to the kings, on the walls, there were also displayed paintings of important figures and royal officials, who had contributed a lot in advancing the Kingdom of Panthera. Athreya shifted his gaze to the right, he saw a painting of himself about 200 years ago. His face then and now had not changed much. He was still a handsome man. After a long silence in his place, he finally walked over to the paintings of the former
Odette realized that Lucifer was playing with her. She felt irritated, but she also still couldn't handle her fear. Her heart was beating very fast, it was hammering her chest hard. Odette panicked. What should she do? She clenched her cold hands, then realized that she was still holding her cell phone. Meanwhile, Lucifer picked up the one remaining bowl shard. "This time, I won't miss," he said, as he threw the shards, and then he grabbed Odette, getting ready to throw her. He then froze instantly when the camera flash from Odette's phone hit him. "What's that?" he asked, with his eyes wide open. "Your soul has been captured," said Odette, showing the photo of Lucifer that was captured by her camera. "This is a soul confinement device, if you come near or hurt me, I will destroy this thing and your soul will be destroyed with it," she added. "Huh." Lucifer smirked again. He was about to continue his delayed intentions. "Wait!
"Ugh! So heavy." Odette held her breath, struggling to lift the body of the man on top of her. After a while of struggling, she finally managed to get Lucifer off of her, then she immediately sat down. She picked up her cell phone, which was lying on the floor, then she turned it on. She was grateful that the object was not damaged. She then turned to look at the man, who was lying on his stomach in an unconscious state. "Rion, hey, wake up," she said, while gently patting Rion's cheek for a moment after she flipped the man's body onto his back. "Ri ..." Odette paused her sentence when she remembered about Lucifer, who really hated being called by the name Rion. While Odette was still in her thoughts, Rion opened his eyes and looked confused when he saw Odette. "You?" He immediately got up. "Thank God, you're awake, Rion," said Odette, when she realized that the man sitting across from her was Rion. Finally, the tension was over and she could breathe a sigh of relief. Rion held
In the living room, Trish was already sitting on the sofa while eating peanuts. The man really spent his time at his parents' house by relaxing.Trish looked really cool in just casual clothing. It showed off his broad chest."I barely recognized you because of your new hairstyle," Anwen said, as she sat down next to Trish. "Why did you cut your hair?" she asked, picking up the nuts and eating them."This summer is very hot and long hair makes me hot." Trish explained."That's why I don't like growing my hair out," Anwen replied, nodding her head.Trish chuckled. "You're always different," he said. Apart from Anwen, Trish had never seen a princess cut her hair so short like Anwen did. "By the way, I see that you are very familiar with my mother."Anwen told Trish that during Trish's time with her brother in various wars and on various work trips, she had often come by to visit Trish's house. The young girl also said that she often stayed there, because Trish's mother had asked her to
"Whoa!" Odette was amazed by the magnificent building in front of her. She and Doctor Alex were walking into the health center of the capital city of Panthera.When Odette came in, she was again amazed to see so many health workers passing by. This made her remember the hospital, where she worked in her previous world.Doctor Alex explained that the place was designed around thirty years ago when King Liam reigned. Originally, it was intended specifically to treat soldiers who were injured in battle, but it became a place for everyone.Its construction was halted when Panthera experienced a crisis, and only resumed after King Rion ruled for five years, and was inaugurated two years later. Over time, the building continued to experience expansion. One part of the place became a center for learning health sciences."Doctor Alex. How are you?"They both turned around at
There was news that the king was looking for Odette. He wanted to ask for medicine, and the news was heard by Doctor Alex, who had just arrived at the palace. He was confused about what medicine the king wanted to ask Odette. Apart from the sleeping pills, the king did not take any other medicine."Ah, Doctor Alex, you're finally back. Where is Miss Odette? The king has been looking for her to bring him the medicine," said the knight, who had told Rion about Odette, who went with Doctor Alex to the medical center."She's still in the medical center. I'm going to see His Majesty. Thank you for telling me about this," said Doctor Alex. He then walked towards the king's study.KNOCK KNOCK"Come in!"After getting permission, Doctor Alex opened the door and walked over to the king. He was busy reading a document."Where's your assistant?" Rion asked,
<In the king's study>No matter how many times Rion looked at the door, waiting for Odette to knock and open it, the woman he had been waiting for since morning until now,did not come back.He rolled up the parchment he had been reading, then looked out the window. It was late, but the woman still hadn't come back from the health center? Or did the woman actually come back, but didn't want to meet him because she was still angry?Rion didn't understand what was going on with him, or rather, he refused to understand. He kept asking himself why he was so worried about Odette. His heart already had the answer to the question, but he denied it.After a few seconds of silence, he tidied up his desk quickly and then walked out to Odette's room to check if she had returne
“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
