The sound of horses’ hooves pulling the carriage could be heard amidst the snow.
“Amy, what’s wrong?” Elis asked because the woman sitting beside her kept quiet all the way home.
“Nothing?”
“Are you sure? You’ve been quiet ever since.”
“I’m fine.” Losa mimicked the way Amy spoke well. In her disguise as Amy, she believed she could easily kidnap Odette and bring the girl to Rad.
The sun's rays had lit up all over the place as the carriage crossed the gate and entered the housing complex.
“Ah, finally...” Elis got out of the carriage and was followed by Losa.
Losa looked around the area. She then glanced at the dozens of knights passing by.
“Amy, what’s wrong? Come on in,” Elis invited.
Losa who disguised herself as Amy was slightly startled when she heard Elis’ voice inviting her to the house.
“Yes,&rdq
“Amy?” Odette furrowed her brows when she saw Amy behind the wall, but the old woman immediately hid when Lucifer approached her.“Honey, come on in. The cold wind isn’t good for our baby,” Lucifer said with a tint of worry, causing Odette to laugh, but she stopped when she saw Amy again.She felt Amy wanted to say something to her, but the woman couldn’t do it because of Lucifer.“Lucy, I want to see Amy for a minute.”Lucifer glanced at the wall for a moment and noticed someone hiding there.“Your fake aunt?”“That…”“I will keep you company.”“N-no. Wait here, she’s scared of you.”“I won’t hurt her and won’t do anything,” Lucifer exclaimed sternly. He still wanted to accompany the girl, but when Odette fell silent while staring at him intensely, he finally agreed.“Fine, bu
Knight Erwin, Tyson, and Theo struggle to stop Lucifer from rampaging.Erwin lunged with his fist, but Lucifer held his wrist and threw it at Theo who attacked from behind. Lucifer even dodged Tyson’s attack from the left and easily hit the man’s nape.However, Lucifer was eventually stopped by a Wizard Knight who could control snow and blocked his movements.Erwin, Tyson, and Theo rose to join the wizard knight controlling the snow.Lucifer glared at them furiously as if he wanted to kill them with his gaze.“If Odette gets hurt, you all die,” Lucifer stressed out each word while trying to release himself from the snow that covered his body, but it was in vain. He couldn’t move at all.‘They are not your enemies.’ Rion’s voice echoed in his head again.“Shut up!” Lucifer wasn’t in the mood to listen to Rion’s words.People on the outside try to give him th
“Finally, you’re awake,” said Losa.Rad didn’t say anything. He remembered what had happened to him after drinking a mouthful of Odette’s blood. His body was burning from within. He even thought that he would die from it.“Where is she?” Rad asked as he held the nape of his neck.“She’s been imprisoned. What exactly happened to you?” Losa asked back, and Rad told her about how he felt after drinking Odette’s blood.“In the past, the divine sapphire was used to absorb and store your power. I think when you drink her blood, the sapphire’s power absorbs your power again.” Losa conveyed her assumption, but the assumption was wrong.Rad already knew that the sapphire’s power didn’t absorb his power but burned it. After the sapphire was swallowed by Saintess Michaela, the sapphire merged with her body and mixed with Aathreya’s power inside Celestial. Tho
At this moment, Odette was imprisoned in a place covered with protective purple magic. This was useful to prevent the vampires, who were very lustful for Odette’s blood, from entering and drinking her blood desperately.Odette was curled up while hugging her knees again. She tried hard to calm herself and kept telling herself that she would be fine. Rion would definitely come to save her soon. All she had to do was survive until the man found her.Odette held her belly. Whatever happened, she could not die in this place. She had to live for the sake of her child and Rion.She braced to lift her face and looked at the vampires guarding her. If she looked closely, their form was not that scary. These vampires looked like humans with low blood pressure because of their pale faces. The Chimera and Hydra she had seen in Randle Forest were even more terrifying.Earlier, Odette was so scared because Rad suddenly bit her neck. Besides, Losa said Gerald&rsqu
“Your Majesty?” Tyson looked back at Rion, and the king repeated his order.After making sure that it was really their king, Tyson asked the Wizard Knight to release Rion from the snow that was holding him down.“Our apologies, Your Majesty,” said Tyson while bowing politely and was followed by the other knights.“Tyson, let’s go to the North Tower. The rest, you can scatter to all the places Losa might go. Theo, you lead them,” Rion ordered calmly, and everyone nodded obediently.He then left the place with Tyson and arrived in front of the North Tower gate. There, they met Rax.“Where’s Roul?”“In the practice room, Your Majesty.” Rax answered after bowing politely.He then escorted the king to the practice room where Roul was. It was the room where the leader of the Wizard Knight had used to train himself before facing Aiden later.When they arrived, Rou
A very heartbreaking scream of a woman could be heard in one of the rooms of the Castle of Vampires.At this moment, Gerald, who was inside Aiden’s body, was drawing out the power that the goddess once absorbed in the divine sapphire.He stood behind Odette and who was sitting on the floor in a messy appearance. He then held the girl’s crown tightly.Thick black smoke puffed out from within Odette and entered Aiden’s body.“AAAAAA!” Odette screamed her lungs out until her voice became hoarse.An intense pain wrecked her body as if she was being skinned alive and all her nerves being pulled out forcefully.She kept screaming loudly, but no one came to help her.‘Rion, where are you?’ Amidst the pain that made her almost lose her mind, Odette remembered Rion. She desperately hoped that the man would come to her aid and take her away from that place, but her wish didn’t come true because Ri
In the North Tower, Lucifer, who was being held in prison coated with magic, continued to shout at the knights assigned to watch over him.“LET ME GO, YOU BASTARD!” He kept shouting furiously. However, after being ordered by Rion, the knights guarding Lucifer did not heed his screams.Lucifer’s hand was already covered in blood from hitting the bars of the prison cell engulfed in blue light.“Is it okay for us to leave him like that?” The knight guarding Lucifer felt worried when he saw the man keep hitting the prison bars. The noise Lucifer made was like that of a raging beast.“This is the king's order, and the leader has ordered us not to release him.”As time passed, Lucifer finally stopped hitting the prison bars. He backed away in a stumble, then leaned against the wall with an exhausted face.His breath was getting heavy as beads of sweat dripped down his face.Lucifer then closed his e
The hallucinations made Rion unable to rest comfortably. He got up and closed his eyes for a moment. He really needed to talk to Lucifer.At this moment, the alter was looking at him coldly.“Odette is in danger right now. I want us to work together to save her.”Lucifer’s expression didn’t change in the slightest.Even so, Rion still continued, “For once, I beg you. Please help me, and please don’t hate Odette. She has never betrayed you. She loves me because I am you, and you are I. We are the same. You are right about me being a loser. I couldn’t save Rose, I admit it, and I don’t want to be a loser again. Odette loves us so much. She can’t choose between us because we are one. Will you punish her for a betrayal when she didn’t even betray you? Then, you are no different from me, who killed Rose back then.”Lucifer’s lips curled up into a smirk.“Did you just sa
