Dario’s eyes almost popped out when he saw Rion lying unconsciously in front of him.
“Uncle, why are you just standing like that? Please lift him inside!” Odette said worriedly.
“Me?” Dario pointed at himself. Earlier, Odette suddenly dragged him here in a hurry. He thought there was another assassin again, so he was very surprised when he found out that the girl asked for help to lift Rion into the house.
“Yes. Who else? Help me, Uncle. I can’t lift him.”
“Y-yeah, alright.” Seeing that Odette looked so worried, Dario immediately carried up his damn son-in-law.
“Where should I slam him? I mean, place him?”
“Get him over there.” Odette directed Dario to enter her room and put Rion on her only bed.
“Thanks, Uncle. I’ll change his clothes. His bod
“What are you doing in the middle of the night like this?” Odette asked the same question to strike up a conversation, and Lucifer said he came to see her.Rion had asked Roul to make a seal that kept him from using mana because he had a relapse more and more often. He was worried about hurting people. So, because he couldn’t teleport like he usually did, Lucifer decided to walk from the palace to Lilium Residence.Odette, who saw the seal mark on the man’s palm, understood the situation. She didn’t see any horses outside, neither Trish nor Anwen. It meant Rion or Lucifer had walked here to meet her. No wonder he had fainted because it was very cold outside right now.When Lucifer held her hand while smiling brightly, she concluded that it wasn’t Rion because the man wouldn’t do that. Not when their relationship was on the brink of breaking off.Odette was sl
"Dario!" “Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?” Anwen glanced around the area. There was only a stretch of white snow that covered the ground and decorated the roofs of buildings and tree branches. No one had come out of their houses yet because it was still very early in the morning. “I’m sure I’m not mistaken." “But, what is Dario here for?” Anwen felt confused, but three seconds later, she realized something. “Huh, Sister Ody. Is he here because of Sister Ody? But why? What’s his purpose? Does he have evil intentions towards Sister Ody?” “I don’t know.” For a moment, they thought hard and wondered about Dario’s real purpose. After not getting any answer, they decided to return and knock on Odette’s door. They came to find Rion who was missing from the palace, or it could be said running away from the palace. Two minutes later, Odette opened the d
Anwen made Dan stop and then looked down dejectedly.Trish steered his horse closer to the girl’s. “The king will be fine. Don’t worry too much. This has often happened. The king will wake up soon,” he said comfortingly.Anwen was silent. The cold air made her face feel stiff.“Are you worried that the king’s illness will make the palace council strip him of his position and propose you as his successor?”Trish really understood the girl’s way of thinking. Actually, this was not the first time this situation had happened. Two years after Rose’s death, the palace council wanted to strip Rion from his position because he couldn’t lead the kingdom in a state of depression. Then, they proposed Anwen as the queen, but it failed because the girl was still too young at that time, so Cristela held the kingdom's affairs temporarily.
“What are you doing here?” Dario asked. His eyebrows dived down sharply, and he glared at the man.“What I do is none of your business.”“Do you realize where you are now?”They glared at each other fiercely.Not wanting to fight on the spot, Dario strode out the window, and Trish rushed after him.Above the vast expanse of snow, where there were only trees without leaves, Trish jumped down along with his fists. However, Dario turned around and dodged the attack, then jumped backward to create some distance.“Could you calm down a bit?”“What is your purpose here? What are your plans for Queen Odette?”Dario fell silent for a moment. Arion D. Panther's damn dog was too smart to be tricked.“I didn’t plan anything.”
“Do you want me to kill them both?” Lucifer asked while stroking Odette’s hair gently. He didn’t know the main problem, but seeing the girl cry after hearing the words of the two men earlier, it meant that the two of them had made her woman cry.“Odette.” Dario came over. Odette immediately broke away from Lucifer’s embrace while the man glared at Dario angrily. Trish was still watching from afar. His only job was to make sure the king and queen were safe.“Odette, give me a chance to explain it,” Dario said, wanting to get closer.Lucifer, who saw Odette still crying, glanced at Dario and he immediately stood in front of the girl, blocking Dario from approaching Odette or even touching her.“You take one more step forward, and you will see a devil chopping your head,” Lucifer said while looking at Dario sharply, and Dario was the same
Under the cold snow, Dario stood with a stiff body. An hour had passed since Odette found out who he really was.‘When I missed the figure of a father, where were you?’‘When my mother and I were starving on the street, where were you?’Odette’s words kept ringing in his head, and it made his heart ache.‘What must I do to make you forgive me?’ Dario muttered in his mind. He closed his eyes and cried silently. He had nothing to prove his regret other than those tears.“Celestial, I’m sorry,” he said while looking up at the sky, letting the snowflakes fall to his face.Meanwhile, Odette was already back in Lilium Residence. She was still crying and sobbing softly in Lucifer’s embrace.In his subconscious, Rion, who had been sleeping since yesterday, opened his eyes. He heard
After meeting with Anwen, Cristela asked Erina to call Trish to meet her right away. She wanted to make sure everything went according to the plan.Not long after, Trish entered the room.“I am facing Her Majesty the Queen.”“Hm. How is Rion?”“Lucifer is still taking over His Majesty the King’s consciousness.”“Anwen told me that Dario disguised himself as a man named Jack and lived near Odette’s residence. Is that true?”“Yes, Your Majesty. Now Her Highness the Queen already knew who Jack really was.”Cristela was quite surprised when she heard this, but her face remained calm. “So that’s it,” she said flatly. “She must have been devastated,” she added.“Yes, you’re right, Your Majesty.”“Dario infiltrated this kingdom so easily. When you knew it was Dario, why didn’t you arrest him?&rdquo
"D-do you agree if I get married?" Trish’s answer would let her know how the man felt about her. If Trish agreed to Anwen’s marriage, it meant that he really didn’t have feelings for her.Waiting for Trish to answer her question made Anwen very nervous.“Wh-why are you looking at me like that?” she asked as Trish stared at her intently without saying anything.At this moment, Cristela’s words were playing over and over in Trish’s mind like a broken record. Anwen loved him. He then remembered the painting of himself in the girl’s room, then remembered Arlo’s words that called him insensitive.Until this second, he still couldn’t believe the fact that the girl in front of him had that kind of feeling towards him.“Trishy!”“Huh?” Trish was stunned.“What’s wrong? Are you all right?”“Y-yes.” Trish smiled gently and th
