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
Since the food couldn’t be eaten, and it looked like Odette would be dead if she forced herself to eat it, she decided to cook a new dish for both of them.When she came into the kitchen fifteen minutes ago, she was shocked to see the mess Lucifer had made. The kitchen looked as if it had just been hit by a hurricane.How could she not realize when Lucifer made all this mess? The man nearly destroyed the entire kitchen.He broke the legs of the table and chairs and used them as firewood to light the stove, even though the firewood and charcoal were available at the back of the building.It was such a pity that Lucifer didn’t ask her first. Odette was annoyed, but she appreciated the man’s good intentions of not wanting to bother her.She watched Lucifer who was tidying up all the mess. The man was completely the opposite of Rion who was fastidious about cleanliness and tidiness.After the new food was ready, she invited Luc
“Uhk.” Lucifer grimaced as one of the men’s swords slashed at him. He turned around and knocked the man down, but another man lunged at him and kicked him in the chest, causing him to fall to the ground with his back hitting the floor first. Before he could stand up, a kick hit his head, causing him to fall backwards again.When the opportunity arose, they immediately beat him. He was still able to fight back, but he stopped after a while.At this moment, he was very annoyed that he couldn’t use his mana.“STOP! DON’T HIT HIM!” Odette screamed from inside the room. She really panicked to see Lucifer being beaten.Lucifer didn’t give up. He still had the strength to break free from the two men holding him. He was about to punch them, but an arrow stuck to his arm.He was caught again and beaten until his face battered.“That’s enough. We can’t let him die,” ordered the na
Odette fell silent.“Do you want revenge on him?”“He is Rose’s father. He loved his daughter very much, and Rose also loved him very much. Do you still want to take revenge on Dario for me?”She stared deep into Lucifer’s eyes. The man was the same as Rion who really loved Rose, so she didn’t want to get her hopes up.“You better rest now,” Odette said flatly and stepped away to enter her bedroom, but Lucifer stretched out one of his arms, blocking her way.“I asked you, do you want revenge or not?” Lucifer repeated his question. “If you want, I will do it for you.”Lucifer’s words surprised Odette. “You want to do it?”“You think I can’t do it for you?” His words sounded very convincing. Odette could barely blink as she stared at him. This alter of Rion sometimes confused her.“I will prove it.” Lucife
