"Excuse me, have you seen a brown-haired woman pass by here today? She was wearing a black dress?""No, sir."Rion asked the many people he met on the street, but none of them had seen Odette. Even so, Rion didn't want to give up. He continued down the road and hoped to find Odette.***At the Baster Inn, the news about Rion and Odette became the talk of everyone there. The news began to spread through the mouths of the guests who had left the inn to various places."I didn't think the king would do something like that. Even though I really admired him, because I thought he was a very loyal man. Wow, I'm utterly disappointed," said the female staff who was gossiping with Jacob and her other friends last night. Call her Serena

Amy looked straight ahead and had a very serious expression."Maybe… that's because we really miss His Majesty the King, who was cheerful, always smiling and friendly to everyone," she said as she imagined the figure of little Rion. He always ran in the palace corridors cheerfully.Then she remembered the adult Rion who always smiled when Queen Rose was still alive.The death of Queen Ahana, his mother, turned Rion into a quiet and very cold person. Rion was like a block of ice, but then Rose came to melt the ice. Rion became a warm man after Rose came. However, it didn't last long.Being trapped in a conspiracy made by several people, Rion lost Rose. After Rose's death, Rion was no longer like ice but he was like a zombie, there was no life in his eyes. He was al

"He-help me, I-I can't breathe," Aiden said breathlessly."Help you? I once helped you, and instead of thanking me, you took the throne of Naturi from my father and treated us like servants. I'm so sick of you. Now die!" Guen raised her knife to stab Aiden, who was leaning back on the chair, trying to get as much oxygen as he could."No!" Aiden caught Guen's wrist. Guen was surprised. "P-please d-don't do th-this to me… haha… HAHAHA," Aiden stuttered, before finally bursting out laughing."Are you… just faking it?" Instantly, her body trembled.Aiden stood up and quickly twisted Guen's hand. "What did you think, honey? I'd die with just poison like that, hm?" he said near Guen's ear as he squeezed the girl's hand firmly.

Odette was stunned. Her eyes opened wider when she saw the scene before her. Hundreds of lit candles lined up neatly and beautifully to form a path. Not only that but candles were also seen scattered in several parts of the garden.It reminded Odette of the sprinkling of stars in the sky. But the thing that caught Odette's attention the most was Rion. He was standing at the end. The man sat in a chair that was on the side of the table, surrounded by candlelight."Miss Ody, we have arrived," said Anwen. She then released her hand, which had been holding Odette's hand. "Now go and meet my brother. He has been waiting for you for a long time. All your questions will be answered by him."Anwen took Erika and Erina away from there. They left as Odette was standing unmoved. She looked straight at Rion who was there.

Odette walked down the corridor with quick footsteps. She didn't turn to see the people who were looking at her questioningly. Right now, she just wanted to leave the palace as quickly as possible."Miss Ody?" Anwen, who saw Odette passing by, was about to approach but was held back by Queen Cristela, who was standing nearby.As Anwen looked at Queen Cristela questioningly, the queen glanced to the right, as if telling Anwen to look in that direction. Anwen followed the direction that her grandmother glanced at and saw her brother. He was running fast after Odette."Stay here and watch quietly," said Cristela, and Anwen nodded."ODETTE, STOP!" Rion's shout brought everyone's attention to him, as well as the woman he was chasing.
