After days, finally, Rion and the three others arrived at Green Castle. That night, Odette couldn't sleep, her whole body felt sore from the very long journey. Feeling very uncomfortable, she decided to get up and walk to the window. Instantly, she was flabbergasted when she saw the rose garden spread out in front of her. The roses moved gracefully as the wind blew and she smelled a sweet and very soothing fragrance. Odette had never seen a rose garden so beautiful. 'Is this… the rose garden that Anwen meant? A rose that can grant wishes?' Odette wondered in her mind. Out of curiosity, she jumped out the window, intending to take a close look at the flowers. She was so mesmerized by the sight in front of her that she subconsciously began to daydream. However, suddenly, the sound of someone's footsteps made her wake up from her daydream. Her eyes widened as she turned her head to see who it was, suddenly her neck was strangled very strongly. "Ri-Rion…" She looked at the gray-hai
The sun had risen, but its light had not replaced the darkness completely. Since last night's incident, the entire castle's inhabitants had not been able to sleep well. They were afraid that if they fell asleep, they would be killed, so they chose to stay up until morning. Odette staggered to walk while holding her head, which was still bandaged and in pain. She was looking for Anwen. Although last night her condition was weak, she heard and saw everything. Right now, Anwen must be very sad. "Miss Odette, what are you doing? If you need anything, let us know." Two maids approached Odette. They held Odette's body. Odette recognized the two maids. They were Anwen's maids. "Where's Anwen?" she asked them. "We don't know. This morning the princess left the castle on her horse," explained one of them, then the others replied, "When she feels sad, the princess will vent her sadness by riding her horse. Last night, for the first time I saw her cry." "So …" Odette knew that Anwen was ve
Odette grabbed Rion's hand and led the man into Anwen's room. From outside the window, they could see Anwen who was sitting curled up crying. Rion was shocked to see this. "Do you know what you've done?" Odette asked, demanding a quick answer from Rion, but Rion just kept quiet. He does not know."You called Anwen the child of a snake and you said that Anwen was the bearer of calamity." Rion instantly widened his eyes. His chest tightened and he forgot to breathe for a few seconds. "I …" Before Rion could finish his sentence, Odette pulled his hand again. This time, she took Rion to Trish's room and Rion was surprised again. From the gap in the door that was not closed tightly, Rion saw Trish, who was applying salve to the wound on his shoulder. There were countless wounds spread randomly on Trish's body. Rion's chest tightened again as he quickly realized that Trish was hurt like that because of him. "Trish was badly hurt but he said that he's fine. It's because he doesn't want
Anwen cried in Odette's arms. She felt sad at Rion's words when he became Lucifer. She knew and realized that what her mother had done was indeed very fatal and could not be forgiven. She also knew that what her brother had said was not wrong, but it hurt a lot when Rion said that she was a child of a snake and a bearer of calamity. After a while, Anwen finally let go of her embrace. Odette wiped the young girl's tears and invited her to sit on a bench under a tree. "Anwen, don't be angry with Rion. He said that while he was not himself." Anwen, who didn't know that Rion had DID, was surprised by Odette's words. "What do you mean not himself?" Odette furrowed her brows. She was surprised when she realized Anwen didn't know about this. Did that mean Rion had kept his condition a secret from his family? But how could he do that for such a long time? "Miss Ody, what do you mean by 'not himself'?" Anwen looked very surprised and curious to hear Odette's explanation. "Anwen, you
BANG! Trish was startled when his bedroom door was opened and closed with a bang. "W-what's wrong?" Trish, who wanted to take off his clothes to treat his wound, stopped and looked at Anwen and Odette with confused faces. Anwen looked at Trish intently, as if she had just found out that Trish had stolen her valuables. "Trish, we need to talk," Anwen said seriously. Although feeling confused, Trish invited the two girls to sit on the sofa. "I'll get straight to the point," Anwen said as soon as she sat down opposite Trish. "Did you know about my brother having DID?" Trish was shocked. He looked at Odette and remembered the conversation he had with the brown-haired girl on their way home. He didn't like what Odette was doing. "It's not good to take advantage of other people's troubles," Trish said displeasedly to Odette. He thought Odette was trying to pry the king's wounds to be able to return to her era. Odette, who understood what Trish was implying, immediately admitted that
Rion had returned to the castle. His face looked very tense. He strode with long steps down the corridor without ever turning to look at the servants and soldiers who saluted him. Usually, even though his expression was always flat, he still smiled at those who greeted him or saluted him. However, not this time. His attitude made some of the castle dwellers think that he was again possessed by an 'evil spirit'. "Trishy, what happened to my brother?" asked Anwen, blocking Trish's steps at the entrance. As usual, it was really hard to get Trish to tell the truth. He always kept a close lid on everything that had to do with the king's mental state. Meanwhile, Odette, who was looking for Anwen, accidentally ran into Rion. Odette noticed the figure of the man who continued to approach her. 'What's with him?' Odette wondered inwardly, seeing Rion's tense face. She ran to follow Rion who had made a turn, and after a while, she was now standing in front of a door, which was none othe
"Is one gold coin per month enough?" Rion asked when Odette didn't give any response. "What?" Rion glanced at the woman next to him, because her mouth had been gaping ever since. Was she a very poor person in the world? But she had once told him proudly that she had a job and her salary was enough to support her life. "Is it still not enough?" "What?" Rion finally turned his head to look at the young woman with furrowed brows. "If you keep your mouth open like that, your mouth will be filled with flies," he said, which made Odette immediately cover her mouth, and turn her face away from Rion. Why did she always do embarrassing things? "So?" Rion was waiting for an answer. Odette cleared her throat then turned back to look at Rion. The salary of one gold coin was huge, but on second thought, it was worth the risk Odette had to face. She could lose her life in this job. She recalled Lucifer strangling her. She was still thinking, and made Rion wait a long time for the answer.
When you were singing, whose voice did you hear? Surely, your own voice, wasn't it? But for some people, the answer was different. It seemed hard to believe, but it was experienced by those with dissociative identity disorder. *** Several servants tried to eavesdrop on the conversation of the three people in the king's study. They were very curious about what the king and Knight Trish were talking about to Odette. "Aren't you guys busy?" Anwen came and surprised them all. "Go!" Before the maids made an excuse, Anwen immediately asked them to leave, and after all the maids had left, she peeked and overheard the conversation of the three people inside. "So, besides Lucifer, who else appears frequently or ever?" "A dog and a man who loves to dance, his name is Jack." Trish gave a description and Odette immediately wrote Trish's answer. She was currently interviewing Rion and Trish. "Only them?" "Rine, he's a man who likes to hurt himself and really wants to end his life," Trish
