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
"Arlo?" Trish was a little surprised to see Arlo's sudden appearance. "What's wrong? Why are you here?" he asked after Arlo saluted him. "I was sent by Her Highness Cristela to tell His Majesty the King to immediately return to the palace, because King Edward will come to the palace. Her Highness Cristela wanted King Rion to return to welcome them," explained Arlo. After hearing his right-hand's report, Trish rushed to tell the king what Arlo had just said. However, when he arrived at the king's study, he didn't see the king there. He turned to go to the king's room, but the king was not there either. He was confused and wondered where the king had gone. Trish asked the servants about the whereabouts of the king, but no one knew where the king was. He was starting to get a little worried as it was unusual for the king to leave without telling him. Trish wondered if this time the king was taken over again, but by whom? Lucifer? No, because if it was Lucifer, then he would have alr
Rion didn't respond to Odette's words. He took the chair climbed into it to untie the rope that was hanging from the ceiling. However, when he looked up he felt dizzy and his neck hurt too. "If you're dizzy, don't force yourself. I'll let it go," said Odette, watching him. "Here, let me do it." "I don't need your help," Rion replied flatly. "Okay." Odette crossed her arms. She knew this man was too stubborn, so she didn't insist to help him. Fifteen seconds passed, but Rion still didn't manage to let go of the rope, and instead felt even more dizzy from looking up for too long, plus the chair kept on rocking, which made him feel even more dizzy. Odette let out a tired breath, then held the chair so it wouldn't sway, even though Rion had said he didn't need help. "What are you doing?" Rion asked, looking down. "Playing chess," answered Odette lazily, raising an eyebrow. "..." "I'm being very kind, if I was someone else I would have left you," Odette raved, but soon she was sur
*** There are many sub-personalities that could appear, but usually, the most frequent ones are the host, alter child, protector, prosecutor, animal alter, and demonic alter. * The host is the owner of the body or genuine personality. * Alter child is the younger part of the personality. At that stage, those who have DID regress. They regress from proper development and return to being children. Alter child usually needs to extract traumatic information that adult memory does not have. * Protector is an alter that protects and defends. Usually, he would be very aggressive when faced with a threatening or stressful situation. This alter appears to defend. * Prosecutor, is an alter who actually wants to protect but by giving punishment. * An animal alter is an animal-like alter, usually a wild animal that appears to protect or express feelings. * Demonic alters are alters who behave like evil creatures, usually, they appear for revenge and— "Uh, it broke?" Odette furrowed her br
Dario sat by the window, looking at Celestial's painting. Since his meeting with Aathreya, he couldn't explain how he felt. He had an inner conflict that made him feel frustrated. He was very angry and sad at the same time, he also felt guilty towards Celestial, Rose, and Isabella. His heart broke when he thought of how Rose was beheaded for being the target of Aathreya's revenge. Dario felt like he really wanted to kill Aathreya, but a part in his heart said that what Aathreya did was understandable. "My daughter paid for my sins. I locked you in a dungeon and your father made Rion D. Panther behead my daughter. You must be very satisfied, right?" For a few seconds, he stared at Celestial's painting in silence. In his mind, he wondered why Celestial's painting was behind Rose's painting? Did Isabella know that? Then … he remembered Aathreya saying that he would always interfere when it came to Celestial. What did it mean? What was the relationship between R
"I'm going back to the tent because Rion must have been looking for me. You can stay here and help him with his wounds." After saying that, Queen Ahana and the women who had been with them said goodbye to Celestial. Dario was laid on the bed, then his wound was starting to be treated by Celestial and some of the maids who were there. The healer at the villa joined the medical team on duty during the royal winter hunting event. "Are you a doctor?" Dario asked pleasantly. "No." Celestial focused on dressing Dario's wound. "I thought you were a doctor because you look so nimble when it comes to wounds." "If it's just to bandage a wound like this, anyone can do it." After a few minutes, Celestial finally finished treating all the wounds on Dario's body, but these wounds actually made the man have a fever at night. The fever wasn't on the to-do list. Damn it! He got up and searched the entire wardrobe in the room and intended to use the entire wardrobe as an extra blanket. Celestial
