"Hey, what's wrong with you? W-why are you crying?" Rion asked in confusion, and Odette cried even louder. "You're so mean… sob… What did I do to you?… sob, you're always being mean… sob… I already said I didn't want to. Why do you keep forcing me… sobs… you're so mean to me… sob…." Odette's tears rolled down her cheeks. "So mean... sobs…" Odette whimpered in front of Rion like a child. Rion snorted. "Stop crying! If you don't want to go to the doctor, it's okay. I won't force you anymore, so stop crying," he said in a slightly annoyed tone. Odette looked up. "Is that true?" she asked. Her pair of blue eyes that were still wet with tears were now

In the evening, Odette took a walk in the palace garden to get rid of her boredom. Behind her, Amy and Marta followed and watched her silently. It made her let out a heavy sigh. She felt like a prisoner who would escape if they let their guard down even a little. Well, she did that once, running away when they were caught off guard, but now she had no plans to do that again. She sat on a garden bench and thought about what Jack had done this afternoon. It was her first time to meet this alter of Rion's and her mind was busy analyzing who Jack was. "What are you thinking about, My Lady?" Amy asked, but Odette didn't answer. The girl's mind was focused on Jack. Jack was an alter ego that represented Rion's desire to h

Not long after, she stopped and remained frozen in place when she saw the figure that people had been talking about walking in front of her along with Rion and Queen Cristela. She remained on the spot as she watched the three people continue to approach her. Aathreya, who saw Odette standing in his way, looked at her and smiled faintly. Whenever he saw Odette, he felt like he was looking at Celestial, his beloved daughter. Queen Cristela secretly took a glance at Aathreya, and then looked at Odette, while Rion stared straight at the girl expressionlessly. In his mind, he was wondering what that girl was doing here, and why she was standing there like an idiot. The three of them stopped in front of Odette, and the girl looked at Rion with questions lingering in her eyes when she saw Rion's eyes and face that seemed to tell her to do something. From a distance, Marta gave a weird look. "I've taught her everything," she muttered. Odette had learned the ethics of how to greet the k

After Odette became the queen, she would find the tailor and tell them to make clothes according to her wishes. "Well, I don't think His Majesty the King will be able to take his eyes off you, My Lady," said one of the young maids when Odette was finally ready to be brought out. "Please, My Lady," said another maid after placing a pair of shoes in front of Odette's feet. Odette put them on and said thank you. A moment later, Anwen opened the door. "Miss Ody," she called in a cheerful voice. Odette and everyone in the room were stunned by the princess' totally different appearance. She was wearing a dress. Anwen was wearing a light purple dress that matched her perfectly. Her short hair was decorated with lovely pins with small purple flowers. For the first time, Odette saw Anwen as a girl. The girl stepped in. "Wow, my sister-in-law looks really amazing," she said, surprising Odette with the new nickname the young girl gave her. "You.... what did you call me?" "Sister-in-law.

"If you don't believe me, why are you asking me in the first place?" "Because I feel that the sudden incident of me being here was not a coincidence and I feel you know something. The answer you gave me earlier, I believe was not an honest answer." Odette looked at Athreya suspiciously. "I have a feeling you had something to do with all of this." "So, should I say yes just because you feel that way? Sounds like you're forcing me to justify your point." "It is not like that." "Then, how?" Aathreya smiled. In Odette's eyes, it looked like Aathreya was playing with her and mocking her. "Let's just say I agree about the portal, but how did my item that I left behind in the future suddenly be here? Do you know the reason?" Aathreya was tongue-tied. In his mind, he was trying to make an excuse to answer Odette's question. He knew that the thing the girl referred to was her phone. He brought it with him because he thought Odette would miss her mother, and that phone had many memories of
