"Your Majesty, how could you do this to me?" Trish came to Rion. He opened the door to his room and asked a question that made Rion confused.
"I thought we'd been very close, but how dare Your Majesty do this to me," Trish said again, which made Rion look at him strangely.
"What do you mean?"
"I was told by Knight Erina that you came to see Her Highness, Queen Cristela, then you said that you wanted to marry Odette. Is that true, Your Majesty?"
"That's right," answered Rion, flatly.
"Your Majesty, that breaks my heart."
"..."
Trish saw Rion staring at him with a strange look mixed with disgust.
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
"BROTHER!" Anwen opened the door of the king's room violently. It made Rion and Trish who were inside, startled. The two men glanced at each other in confusion. Anwen closed the door and walked quickly to the king's table."Brother, what have you done to Miss Ody?" she asked to the point. It left Rion stunned, while Trish was confused about Anwen's question.Anwen and Rion looked at each other questioningly."Did she tell you anything?" Rion asked."She didn't tell me anything. I just heard the gossip about you and Miss Ody yesterday morning. Is… the gossip I heard true? Did you do that to her?"Rion was silent. He didn't know how to answer Anwen's question. He was surprised that the gossip of him and Odette at the Bas
"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 stared at Trish intently. Was it true that Rion would fire Trish? The knight was always loyal to him at all times. Would he really fire him all just because Odette wouldn't get out of the carriage?It seemed impossible, but then… Odette remembered Rion also always threatened to fire her.Meanwhile, in his mind, Trish recalled Anwen's words before he went to pick up Odette."Miss Ody is an empathetic person. She pities others easily. If you have trouble persuading her, then make her feel sorry for you."After she thought for a long time, Odette finally decided to get out.When Odette got out, she immediately became the center of everyone's attention. It was as if she was Princess Cinderella, who had just gotten o
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.
Rion immediately told Odette about what happened. He also told her that when he went out of their room, he suddenly met someone he knew. Then, he rushed to the room because he felt dizzy, and his memory ended when he entered the room and closed the door."I think I had a relapse and maybe..." He paused his sentence for a moment. "The one who did that to you was one of my personalities."His words made Odette's eyes widen."What are you saying?" Odette could hardly believe her own ears.'How did it happen? Which alter did that?' From what she learned, Rion's alters represented Rion's desires and feelings.Of Rion's five alters, Odette had only ever met the dog, Bee, and the alter that appeared the most was Lucifer. It seemed u
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.
A few hours later, Odette finally managed to finish her job. The makeshift rope she would use to descend was ready. She then tied the rope to a pillar and began to slowly descend with her feet on the wall."Ah." She smirked, apparently, it wasn't as easy as it seemed. Odette panicked as her body swayed and her leg slipped, then she dangled. This happened over, and over again before finally one of the knots of the rope fell off and …AAAAGH!Thud!Someone caught her body just in time."Tri-Trish?"Meanwhile, elsewhere, Rion was standing in silence, while contemplating all the things he had just done. He was a little surprised to see Trish carrying Odette.
