Queenieโs words made King Darian more worried than before. He approached and stood right by Queenieโs side.โQueenie, I donโt expect a war with Nicundhra. They will summon the Dragons and destroy our kingdom,โ whispered King Darian.โDad, so worried?โ Queenie stood face to face with her father.โI donโt want a war that carries risks to our people. After all, you agreed to marry Prince Fabian. I would not force you if you did not show love at the previous meeting.โHearing what her father said, Queenie glanced at Prince Fabian. Seeing Queenieโs gaze fixed on him, Fabian became confident. He stood up and walked a few steps closer to the altar of the royal throne. Where Queenie and King Darian are.โPrincess Queenie, whatever you say, we donโt take it to heart. Especially me. Not in the least. I was offended. I fully understand that everything you did was to protect your rights and your kingdom.โThe tense atmosphere surrounding the Bright River palace hall got slightly smooth due to Pri
Queenieโs eyes, which had been showing cruelty ever since narrowed. The combination of a stony gaze and face as the snow seemed able to kill anyone standing in front of her.Queenie reached into the back of her dress. It was a piece specially designed for princesses. They could keep their valuables in the hidden back of the dress.She pulled out a ring with beautiful carvings and glittering diamonds. Someone had specially designed it.โBefore I explain anything, I asked the royal servant. Come on, Clara!โA servant hurriedly and pale-faced advanced to the centre of the palace hall. The young woman looked nervous.โTell Me, Clara! How did you find this ring?โโI ... Iโm cleaning the room occupied by Prince Fabian. Then I found the ring on the bed. Since I saw it was a womanโs ring, I gave it to Princess Queenie. Maybe Princess Queenie dropped it while she was with Prince Fabian.โQueenieโs eyes turned to Queen Obelia.โDad, isnโt this the ring you gave as a gift to Queen Obelia on her
Argoโs eyes were full of respect and obedience. Queenie surely touched the top of the dragonโs head. It amazed everyone, excellent view. A beautiful girl touched the dragonโs head affectionately.โQueenie, what are you doing?โ asked King Darian. The Kingโs face looked frightened.His Princess was so much closer to the dragon. A creature that had been a symbol of fear for many people. By dragonโs power, King Eric and King Jumuck defeated various kingdoms in the world.โArgo!!! What are you doing? Cut them both off. Let their heads roll at my feet. I want my shoes on the head of the Great King Darian!โ King Eric shouted.The dragon, which was the incarnation of Argo, flipped over. His initially yellowish-green eyes turned reddish-yellow. Argo showed his anger.Then he raised his body high. The dragonโs head touched the ceiling of the palace hall. Instantly, the top of the palace hall cracked. Everyone ran away because of several rockfalls. The atmosphere was getting chaotic. The sound o
The King turned to the beautiful Queen who had been his companion. The woman he has trusted to be Queenieโs surrogate mother. Although the King did not know the exact origin of Queen Obelia that he found in the forest, it did not reduce his love as a King for his Queen. Queen Obelia always behaved well and showed love for him. She also showed affection for Queenie. The King did not expect the Queen could betray his trust in such a painful way. Now all the people were waiting for the Kingโs final decision. โI have said that. I sentenced Queen Obelia to death. A kingโs words will never change. I will do justice even to those I once loved!โ Queen Obeliaโs face grew pale. This time she couldnโt escape the punishment imposed by The King. There was no way to dodge anymore. Her beautiful face would not be able to make the King change his decision. She looked at King Darian and Queenie, who was standing tall on the altar of the Bright River royal throne. Queenie stared coldly at the Queen
Queenieโs face looked calm, and her eyes radiated with sadness. The Darian King was the only family she had. This was her life after death. The Creator allowed her to return to the past to fix everything.She knew her stupid and troublemaker attitude. Now she knew many secrets to prevent disaster and a chance to save the father and improve their relationship. Unfortunately, it was happening Queen Obelia hit her father with a dangerous weapon.Queenieโs eyes stared affectionately at King Darianโs face lying on the bed. He was a lovely father to her. The same the Darian King felt over Queenie. Queenie regrets she grew up as a spoiled girl and a burden for her father.Argo and Finiah stood by the side of the bed. They wait for Queenie to be calmer and say something.โTell me, Argo, what is the โeternal sleepโ weapon?โArgo took a deep breath.โI donโt understand why this incident reappeared after hundreds of years. The weapon of eternal sleep was destroyed hundreds of years ago. Along wi
Queenie passed through the citizen area in the Bright River Kingdom. She continued towards the line edge of the kingdom, where there was a very dense forest. Her back stomped on the horse she was riding. While Fewa several times fast asleep on her shoulder. They had been traveling for more than five hours when Queenie decided to stop around a river.She let her horse eat grass and drink. Queenie sat under a tree while saw to the horse. Fewa, in human form, sat in front of Queenie while watching the grazing white horse.โWhere are we going?โโMet someone who might know about the existence of Hollymere wine.โโPrincess, Iโve heard rumors about you before. The plan for an attack on the Bright River Kingdom was already in the North Sea Kingโs plan. However, due to King Ericโs request for suspension, we all aborted the invasion of your kingdom. I heard Bright River has no heir but a spoiled daughter who is always causing trouble. But what I see on you differs from all the rumors Iโve heard
โWhy do you, a kingโs daughter, want to know about Hollymere grapes?โ asked Deril.โI needed to... to wake up my fatherโs life.โDeril looked at Queenie with a sharp and questioning look.โDonโt make it up, Princess. Just a few days ago, I saw King Darian healthy and happy. He gave out multiplied coins because of your happiness. Your engagement to Prince Fabian seems to be a big dream for King Darian.โQueenieโs heart was saddened to hear Derilโs answer. Why did this guy switch the conversation? He still needed to answer Queenieโs question.โEverything has changed, Deril. Prince Fabian was dead. And my father, hit by the โeternal sleepโ weapon.โDerilโs face grew more severe after hearing Queenieโs statement. He stood on the royal stage only a few days ago. Where the Lake festival was held. But Queenie said everything as if the Bright River kingdom had just gone to war.Deril lived in the deep forest and sometimes heard about the kingdom. But not yet gotten any information about the k
Deril stared at Queenie and thought the girl before him might have lost her mind. The Red Orchid cliff was a hard place to go. Most likely, they would lose their lives.But, seeing Queenieโs face that was so firm, Deril felt that she was taking her words seriously. Anything that he had been hearing from people about Queenie all this time was just nonsense.This girl before him didnโt look like a spoiled and trouble-making girl. She was like an authoritative, decisive, and responsible Queen candidate.โTell Queenie, did you say to me as a request or an order? I am just a commoner living under the auspices of King Darian of the Bright River Kingdom.โQueenie turned her eyes to Derilโs magical vineyard. Deep in her heart, Queenie suspected Deril was not a commoner. Queenieโs cold, stern gaze stopped at Derilโs figure.โI ask for your help as a friend,โ she said calmly, sincerely, and convincingly.A light smile appeared on Derilโs face. He was convinced Queenie would become the wise quee
โYou are a very smart girl. You just need to think about yourself sometimes,โ Deril whispered in Queenieโs ear.โIโve done that before. More selfish than you can think.โโIโve heard that from the rumors of the people of the Bright River Kingdom. Luckily, I met you when everything had changed.โโI regret that time. Long years wasted.โโHumans have to learn from mistakes. Sometimes the lessons donโt come once, but many times.โโOne death and two lives is enough for me.โQueenie closed her eyes. Derilโs hug felt so comfortable for her. Her back that met Derilโs chest seemed to merge. Queenie could feel Derilโs heart beating for her. Derilโs scent had told Queenie that the man hugging her was not a grape grower. Derilโs warmth was the warmth that sank Queenieโs soul. His perfect blend had made her surrender easily in the manโs arms.They first met in Derilโs vineyards. Queenie knew him as The Farmer. Queenie has forgotten all that now. Deril was definitely no ordinary grape grower. Derilโ
โFergodo!โ Argo exclaimed.Queenie remained sitting quietly in her place. She looked at Fergodo with wide eyes and waited for someone to explain. Fergodo drew closer to Queenie. A few steps later, they saw another three people behind Fergodo. One woman at Fergodoโs age and two young women. They were Fergodoโs wife and children.Arriving before Queenie, Fergodo crossed his right hand to his left chest. Then he bowed to Queenie. Behaviour followed by his wife and two children. Fergodo did not dare to look at Queenieโs face. His gaze fell on the floor. So did the three women who were with him.Deril smiled happily because Queenie didnโt react to the surprise he gave. The girl didnโt even ask.โOnce you are determined to find Fergodo, I head first into this forest and try to find them. It turned out that they were trapped in this place. This forest has two layers of plains. The upper plains are where the gigantic beasts and all the chaos are. While the lower plains are where we are right
โStop calling me Prince, or I will kill you,โ Deril said with a cruel look.Argo really understood what Deril meant. The reflex call he utters could get him into big trouble. He knew precisely what kind of person was before him. Argo remembered Derilโs cruelty thousands of years ago. Memories that made him shiver and freeze. After the tragedy, only one thing could make Deril satisfied. It was dying of someone.He nodded slowly in understanding. His eyes looked into the room of the house behind Deril. The room looked bright and luxurious. The dominant colour decorations were gold and blue in almost all the house parts. Without a flame to illuminate it, the house seemed to glow. Like there was a unique sun placed in that house.The house in the middle of the forest looked like an abandoned hut. No one would have thought that the inside of that lousy house was more luxurious than a palace. Argo could feel the thick scent of magic enveloping the house. The outside and inside of the house
Argo surveyed the bottom of the cave. The bottom of the cave was covered in sand. Argo felt that sometimes the sand moved and sank a little. Maybe the sand made the cave air so hot and dry.โWe are like trapped rats now. Outside, the gigantic beast is waiting for us. While there, the heat can kill us.โ Fewa complained.โShut your mouth, Fewa!โ Leya rebuked.The little butterfly waved her hand. Hopefully, it could make her feel more comfortable. The hot air in the cave made their skin turn red. Queenie was busy observing the cave walls. It was as if she saw writing and drawings on the cave walls.The cave was black. Queenieโs eyes couldnโt be sure. Her hands kept groping and trying to read all the writing. It looked like it was strange writing. Not a language Queenie understood. The air in the cave was getting hotter.โItโs like being in a furnace, isnโt it?โ Fewa asked. Who did he ask?Fewa ignored Leyaโs warning. He kept on babbling about venting his frustration.โWe are risking our
A light appeared from the red box in Queenieโs hand. It illuminated every side of the forest. Every time the light penetrated a side, then at that moment, an appearance appeared. The sighting with massive, horrifying beasts.Their size was even taller than the tree that was there. Their body size was enormous. They all stood in a row facing Queenie and her friends. Their shape wasnโt like ordinary animals.A tiger with long fangs barely touched feet. It was standing at the front. Looked like a Siberian tiger. It was bigger and scary. Behind the tiger stood another beast. All were in terrible shape and so large. Fewa, who was already at the threshold of the forest, slowly stepped back.โOh, damn! They are real!. I almost became a meal,โ Fewa hissed.Queenie, Leya, and Argo observed all the animals. They all looked silent and stood alert. They prepared to pounce on anyone who dared to enter their territory.โHow can we enter this forest?โ Queenie asked Argo.โGive me the box,โ said Argo
When Queenie turned to look at the people who were cleaning up the corpses, Deril disappeared. Queenie snorted in annoyance. She didnโt understand how Deril always came and went as he pleased. Shouldnโt Deril know that Queenieโฆ wanted Deril to always be around her?Fewa smiled wryly at the sight of Queenieโs gloomy face. He could see that Queenie had fallen in love with that bastard who owned the magical vineyard. Fewa walked towards Queenie. He came to Argo and started treating everyone that got a wound.Queenie stood and felt lost in her heart. She didnโt know since when feeling attached to Deril. She didnโt mind Derilโs closeness. Queenie enjoyed Derilโs touch. A touch that made her feel protected. With Deril, Queenie felt a different vibe.Something Queenie had never felt in her previous life. Queenie remembered all those times. The time before she died and came back to life. Queenie could still recognize that feeling. With Fabian, Queenie felt proud and happy. When everyone looke
A fireball fell right before King Eric. He stumbled and fell backward. He didnโt notice another fireball coming. The fireball fell right above his head. He was on fire and screamed like crazy.โAaarrrgghhh!!! Help!!!!โHe ran as he wanted. The people and the soldiers of the kingdom saw and screamed. They needed to stay hidden to protect themselves. The atmosphere at Nicundhraโs palace was very chaotic.Several sides of the palace burned. Many people were running towards the palace gate. They tried to get out of Nicundhraโs palace. Even the soldiers were now hiding. In normal conditions, they were brave soldiers. They couldnโt fight. The attacks were too sudden.The fireballs that Argo spewed out were more and more. Queenie and Deril watched the whole mess from Fewaโs back. The little dragon flew higher. Seeing King Eric tormented in pain, Queenie gave Argo instructions.โNow Argo!โThe giant red dragon roared so loudly. He inhaled so deeply and exhaled to bursting of fire. The flames
The red orchid formula made Argo feel hot and burning. He ran out of king Ericโs room. The meter rolled on the grass in the courtyard of Nicundhraโs palace. The people and soldiers of Nicundhra watched Argo from the corners of the palace.Queenie, Deril, and Fewa ran after Argo. They passed the bodies of the Nicundhra soldiers lying on the floor of King Ericโs chambers. The soldiersโ bodies had separated from their heads. Blood pooled around the soldiersโ bodies. They had to step into the pool of blood to get out of King Ericโs room. Leya flew after them.Meanwhile, King Eric was still shocked by the scene before him. Dozens of Nicundhraโs royal guard troops who came with him to catch the red orchid formula thief died within minutes. They were slaughtered with lightning-fast and invisible movements. King Eric immediately followed them.The scenery in the palace courtyard made everyone wanna die. Their hearts stopped beating, and their minds were gone. Everyone lost their sanity while
Queenie, Deril, and Argo walked quickly into a hallway. The hallway directly connected the palaceโs front to the Kingโs chambers. The secret hallway they found before the event. The hallway was created to save the King in an emergency.That was a small hallway, and no one was in the hallway. All the guards must be busy partying on the castle grounds. They didnโt think that Nicundhra was under threat. Their work had been hushed since the death of Prince Fabian.After they lost the controlling power of the Dragon, Nicundhra never attacked other kingdoms. Felt their Kingdom was safe and peaceful, all the guards went to the feast. Many hallways were left empty without guards.They arrived safely at the door of the Kingโs room. Argo opened the door to King Ericโs room. After Queenie and Deril entered, he immediately closed the door and locked it from the inside.Queenie looked straight at the wall above King Ericโs bed.โThat should be the wall that King Eric said,โ Queenie said.Deril and
