"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
"BROTHER!" Anwen's scream that sounded panicked made the three people in the room startled. Trish immediately got up to open the door, followed by Rion and Odette. "Brother!" Rion was surprised because Anwen suddenly called him, and he was confused because Anwen looked panicked. "What is it?" he asked. "Emperor Dario and his three thousand troops are heading for Panthera." Rion's eyes widened as his breath hitched slightly when he heard what Anwen had just said. The same thing seemed to happen to Trish. "Who told you this?" Roon asked. Anwen explained that she had been alerted by a soldier carrying a message from the troop leader guarding the southern border. "The soldier is waiting outside," Anwen added. Without further ado, Rion immediately went to meet the soldier for more information, while Trish, Anwen and Odette followed closely behind. "Is everything you said true?" Rion asked as soon as he stood face to face with the soldier, who was carrying a message from the southe
Emperor Dario's eyes widened slightly when he saw Aathreya standing there, facing his way. Seeing Aathreya, all the troops wondered who the man was. "Your Majesty, do you know the man?" asked David, a man who had a burn scar on his left face. He was the emperor's right-hand man. Dario did not answer the question from him. When he was five meters in front of Aathreya, he ordered all his troops to stop. Aathreya smiled crookedly. "Stay here. I'll be right back," Dario said to David then got off the horse and walked over to Aathreya. A curtain of dust flew as the wind blew between the two of them as they stood opposite each other. "Aathreya." Dario's brows furrowed. "I'm flattered that you still recognize me. Long time no see, Dario Archadela. Ah, no. I mean son-in-law." Aathreya smiled sarcastically. Aathreya could forget the names of everyone in this world. However, he could never forget the name of the man who had ruined his daughter's life. The emperor fell silent with an unch
Aathreya looked up at the randomly arranged clouds in the blue sky. 'I also sinned and I will pay for it one day,' he thought. He closed his eyes and the image of Knight Lucas appeared in his mind. The young man did nothing wrong, but he had to be dragged into the flow of Aathreya's revenge. He kept his eyes closed until the sounds of many horse steps entered his sense of hearing his eyes opened. Rion, who was still riding his horse, was quite surprised to see Aathreya standing at the forest exit. Trish and the soldiers wondered who the man in black was. Rion got off the horse and then immediately saluted Aathreya. Hearing the king call the man by the name Aathreya, Trish and the soldiers were shocked. They all knew about Aathreya, who was the great wizard, but they never saw his face. Trish immediately dismounted and saluted the great wizard, while the soldiers whispered in disbelief at what they were seeing. "Go back to your palace. The man is gone." "What?" Rion didn't have
Odette followed Trish secretly until she arrived at Rion's door. From the gap in the door, she peeked at what Trish was doing in Rion's room in the middle of the night, and why was Trish carrying a rope? Odette was surprised when she saw Trish was tying Rion to the bed, and Trish did it out of Rion's orders. Why? After a few minutes, Trish finally came out and Odette quickly followed suit. "Trish!' Hearing someone call out to him, Trish stopped then turned around. He was quite surprised to see Odette walking towards him. "Miss Odette, what are you doing here?" he asked as soon as Odette stood before him. "Can we talk for a minute?" Even though he was confused, Trish still nodded. He invited the girl to talk on the terrace. "So, what do you want to talk about?" Trish asked, not long after they reached the terrace. Odette told Trish that she had followed him to Rion's room and she saw Trish tying the king to the bed. "Trish, does Rion do all that because he was afraid that h
"Ahahaha, sorry, Rose, but I don't dare to mediate the emperor's fight with the king. I still want to live," Lucas said and smiled. There was no worry on his face at all. This annoyed Rose. The woman now turned to David. She persuaded David to stop the duel, but just like Lucas, David also still loved his life. Meanwhile, down below, Dario and Rion had exchanged attacks and displayed a fierce sword duel. "Don't expect yourself to get out of the arena alive," Dario said while doing a quick attack that knocked Rion back, but Rion responded calmly. "You really want to kill the father of your grandson?" "My grandson will be fine without you." Dario's face was already red with anger, and Rion was enjoying the sight immensely. "Then Rose D. Panther will be very sad," he teased, and made Dario's anger flare up even more. "HOW DARE YOU CHANGE ROSE'S LAST NAME WITH YOUR NAME!" Dario screamed so loudly that the veins in his neck bulged out. He lunged with his sword ready to slash. "Rion
Odette waited for Rion at the entrance of the rose garden. Actually, she really wanted to go in but she had been told by Anwen and the servants that the king did not allow anyone to enter the garden except on cleaning days, and even then, only the servants who had been assigned were allowed to enter.After Odette waited for about three hours, Rion finally came out, and he was quite surprised to find Odette standing in front of the entrance."What are you doing here?" he asked as he stood in front of Odette."I was waiting for you," said Odette, frankly. "Before you get busy with work, I thought we could have a casual chat for a bit.""Is this part of the treatment?" Rion asked. They started walking side by side and left the garden area."So, what do you want to talk to me about?" Rion led the way then sat down on a bench. His facial expression looked serious even though Odette wanted to talk to him casually.It was still early. The dew had not even evaporated from the leaves and flowe
