“Stop calling me Prince, or I will kill you,” 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 Deril’s 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
“Fergodo!” 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 Fergodo’s age and two young women. They were Fergodo’s 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 Queenie’s face. His gaze fell on the floor. So did the three women who were with him.Deril smiled happily because Queenie didn’t react to the surprise he gave. The girl didn’t even ask.“Once 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
“You are a very smart girl. You just need to think about yourself sometimes,” Deril whispered in Queenie’s ear.“I’ve done that before. More selfish than you can think.”“I’ve heard that from the rumors of the people of the Bright River Kingdom. Luckily, I met you when everything had changed.”“I regret that time. Long years wasted.”“Humans have to learn from mistakes. Sometimes the lessons don’t come once, but many times.”“One death and two lives is enough for me.”Queenie closed her eyes. Deril’s hug felt so comfortable for her. Her back that met Deril’s chest seemed to merge. Queenie could feel Deril’s heart beating for her. Deril’s scent had told Queenie that the man hugging her was not a grape grower. Deril’s warmth was the warmth that sank Queenie’s soul. His perfect blend had made her surrender easily in the man’s arms.They first met in Deril’s vineyards. Queenie knew him as The Farmer. Queenie has forgotten all that now. Deril was definitely no ordinary grape grower. Deril’
Queenie opened her eyes, her heart beating so fast. The last memory came. Someone had thrown her from a high abyss. Immediately she shouted. “Aaarrrgghhh!!!” Queenie sat down and held her left chest. No scars. No blood. No pain. Queenie felt confused. She looked around the room. It was a simple and tinny room. There was a window opening with a bright light. Queenie ran closer to the window. Outside the window, the view was like a vineyard. The aroma of the grape filled the cavity. The grapes may be ready for harvest. But wait! Why was she here? Wasn’t the last time she was with her husband? Someone opened the bedroom door. A young man with simple clothes entered the room. Queenie, who was trying to remember everything, immediately stood up. She picked up an umbrella that was nearby. She pointed to him. “Stop! Who are you?! What are you doing in my room?!” rebuked Queenie. The young man just sat on the bed and rolled his eyeballs. “Your room? Look carefully, Miss! This is my ro
The view in front of her made Queenie frozen. Her future husband was in the same room as her stepmother. Queenie had always considered her as her mother. Queenie’s tears almost fell when she realized something was wrong with everything that was going on.In her last memory, she was dead. But now, she returned to her engagement day to Prince Fabian was about to be announced. Queenie felt she was living in the past. With memories of the future.After making sure everything was safe, Queenie came out of hiding. She hurried to her father’s room. King Darian must know that her stepmother cheated him. Her father had to cancel her engagement with Prince Fabian!Before Queenie reached her father’s room, two royal maids found her. Their faces looked panicked and relieved to find Queenie.“Princess, thank God we are finding you. We have to get you ready. The King is waiting in the main room.”Both maids took Queenie by the arm and carried her into a room. In Queenie’s memory, that was her room.
Queenie turned and looked at her father’s face. King Darian seemed so happy, and his eyes became teary. He saw to Queenie.Although his daughter couldn’t be proud of him, like her fathers, King Darian always loved her. A father’s gaze on the daughter he loved so much.Her father’s eyes made Queenie’s heart feel calm and comfortable. She still thought about what was on to her. Before her death, she behaved so stupidly? Queenie was busy with herself when her father was the victim of her stepmother’s cheating.After she got her second life, Queenie understood why her father wanted her to marry. He wanted Queenie to have a sense of responsibility. That showed in his eyes.King Darian and all awaited Queenie’s answer to her willingness to become the future wife of Prince Fabian. Although Queenie knew the Prince had cheated, she couldn’t give a wrong answer, making King Darian feel shy.“Yes, I do,” Queenie said at last.Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief. Great expectation aros
Queenie’s eyes flashed as she heard what the little butterfly was saying. Since she got a second life, the butterfly always flew around her. They could talk to each other. During the Lake festival, The Butterfly was in the garden behind the palace. She saw everything that Queen Obelia did with Prince Fabian.The little blue butterfly immediately flew up and delivered it all to Queenie. she was sure the future husband was in an illicit relationship with her stepmother. They also conspired to take the throne of the Bright River Kingdom from her.“They will pay off for the betrayal they are committing!” snarled Queenie.Queenie’s bedroom door opened, and two royal maids came to pick her up for the royal dinner. Queenie hurried to the banquet hall. The guests and also the top officials of the kingdom were already there. They talked and rejoiced in each other.When Queenie walked into the banquet area, Prince Fabian immediately approached and reached out. He welcomed the beautiful Princess
After all the work on Queenie’s clothes and jewelry was done, the maids left Queenie’s room. Queenie asked the guard to not let anyone into her room. She wanted to get rest for a reason. Queenie immediately latched the door that kept her room locked.She back sat down and looked at the red velvet box on the table. Queenie put down her hand. The black mark on her hand and the circle on the box sparkled together. The light of the red box radiated onto the wall and reflected a female figure.“Mom!” Queenie choked in disbelief.The female figure in the light from the red box was smiling.“After five years, you finally find the secret box. I purposely kept it for you. When you hear this, you will be ready and able to overcome all the challenges you will face.” Queen Sarah’s face looked so wise when she talked to Queenie.She continued by saying, “Queenie, to become the Bright River royal throne owner, you must meet the qualifications. He wrote all terms you have to fulfill in the book in t
“You are a very smart girl. You just need to think about yourself sometimes,” Deril whispered in Queenie’s ear.“I’ve done that before. More selfish than you can think.”“I’ve heard that from the rumors of the people of the Bright River Kingdom. Luckily, I met you when everything had changed.”“I regret that time. Long years wasted.”“Humans have to learn from mistakes. Sometimes the lessons don’t come once, but many times.”“One death and two lives is enough for me.”Queenie closed her eyes.

“Stop calling me Prince, or I will kill you,” Deril said with a cruel look.Argo really understood what Deril meant. The reflex call he utters could get him into big trouble.

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.“We are like trapped rats now. Outside, the gigantic beast is waiting for us. While there, the heat can kill us.” Fewa complained.“Shut your mouth, Fewa!” 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. Queenie’s eyes couldn’t 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.“It’s like being in a furnace, isn’t it?” Fewa asked. Who did he ask?Fewa ignored Leya’s warning. He kept on babbling about venting his frustration.“We are risking our
A light appeared from the red box in Queenie’s 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 wasn’t 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.“Oh, damn! They are real!. I almost became a meal,” 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.“How can we enter this forest?” Queenie asked Argo.“Give me the box,” said Argo
When Queenie turned to look at the people who were cleaning up the corpses, Deril disappeared. Queenie snorted in annoyance. She didn’t understand how Deril always came and went as he pleased. Shouldn’t Deril know that Queenie… wanted Deril to always be around her?Fewa smiled wryly at the sight of Queenie’s 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 didn’t know since when feeling attached to Deril. She didn’t mind Deril’s closeness. Queenie enjoyed Deril’s 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 didn’t notice another fireball coming. The fireball fell right above his head. He was on fire and screamed like crazy.“Aaarrrgghhh!!! Help!!!!”He 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 Nicundhra’s palace was very chaotic.Several sides of the palace burned. Many people were running towards the palace gate. They tried to get out of Nicundhra’s palace. Even the soldiers were now hiding. In normal conditions, they were brave soldiers. They couldn’t fight. The attacks were too sudden.The fireballs that Argo spewed out were more and more. Queenie and Deril watched the whole mess from Fewa’s back. The little dragon flew higher. Seeing King Eric tormented in pain, Queenie gave Argo instructions.“Now Argo!”The 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 Eric’s room. The meter rolled on the grass in the courtyard of Nicundhra’s 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 Eric’s chambers. The soldiers’ bodies had separated from their heads. Blood pooled around the soldiers’ bodies. They had to step into the pool of blood to get out of King Eric’s room. Leya flew after them.Meanwhile, King Eric was still shocked by the scene before him. Dozens of Nicundhra’s 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 palace’s front to the King’s 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 didn’t 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 King’s room. Argo opened the door to King Eric’s 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 Eric’s bed.“That should be the wall that King Eric said,” Queenie said.Deril and
