"Ah! Uh!" Rion pulled his neck away when Odette was about to smear the medicine on his neck. He didn't want the medicine to touch him at all, and Odette had to coax and nag him due to his childlike behavior. "Come on. You said you were busy and didn't have much time." "Ugh. If it gets worse, I'll fire you right away!" he threatened. "It won't. Come on!" Odette wanted to roll her eyes but she held back. Rion was restless, but in the end, he complied and instantly froze when Odette got very close to him. He lowered his gaze, and when he saw the face of the girl who was seriously treating his wound, his feelings became strange. He felt like … his heart warmed up? No! He must not allow himself to be attracted to any woman. He didn't want to betray Rose's love, and he had no right to be happy anymore after he killed Rose. He didn't deserve it. He didn't deserve anymore happiness! Odette was still smearing the medicine on Rion's wound and the king closed his eyes. Because the medici
Anwen was helping Odette unstitch the coat when Arlo and two other knights came and knocked on the door that was not closed. Anwen turned her head along with Odette."Arlo?"Anwen stopped what she was doing and walked over to the three young men. "I can't join the practice today, sorry for not telling you that I'm not going," she explained."Why?" Arlo raised an eyebrow."It's okay, I just changed my mind.""Come on, Princess. We haven't practiced together in a very long time. We were all very excited when we found out that you are coming. If you don't come, I and the others would be very disappointed. Right, guys?" Arlo looked at his two friends alternately and the two men immediately nodded in approval.While doing her work, Odette occasionally saw four people standing in the doorway. Odette saw Anwen who was very familiar with the knights."Don't disappoint them, Anwen," she said which made the four people there turn to look at her."But Miss Ody."Odette stopped her activities for
Rion looked at his bandaged hand and remembered Odette treating his wound. 'Let me help you.' Now Rion remembered the words of Odette who wanted to help him. A faint smile appeared on his face. In his heart, he thanked Odette for treating his hand, but he hoped that Odette would also treat the wound in his heart, that was, his mental wound. He shook his head once and tried to get rid of the things he didn't deserve. He walked over and took the clothes that Odette had prepared earlier, then put them on and walked out. Rion felt five times more comfortable wearing the shirt than the scarf. He suddenly felt stupid. He entered his study and sighed as he looked at the pile of work on his desk. He felt tired but he couldn't rest, no but rather he didn't want to rest. His grandfather had made him that way. The old fart never let him rest if his work was not finished. "Even though you're dead, you still torture me," Rion muttered to himself. He recalled when he was young, being beaten
Rion couldn't sleep even though he felt very tired and needed sleep. He turned his body left and right, trying to find a comfortable position but all his efforts were in vain.He finally gave up! Rion felt anxious about not being tied up by Trish. Thoughts like him about to be taken over by Lucifer and killing people kept haunting him.Usually, he would take sleeping pills and then tell Trish to tie him up. Only after feeling that his body was completely immobilized and Lucifer wouldn't be able to do anything if he took over the body, he could calm down.In frustration, he pulled the drawer beside the bed to get the medicine, but he forgot that he had taken the medicine an hour ago. He went to ask Doctor Alex for medicine again.The atmosphere in the palace was quiet. Rion walked toward Doctor Alex's room and when he arrived at his destination, he immediately knocked on the door but there was no answer. He knocked again and still no answer.After quite a while of knocking, Rion finall
Slowly, the sun began to emerge and dispel the darkness of the night. Rion opened his eyes and was surprised to find himself being hugged by Odette. He wanted to get up quickly and get out of the room, but his brain was working fast. What excuse would he give her if Odette saw him and slept next to him? He figured that when Odette opened her eyes and saw a man sleeping next to her, the girl would automatically scream, inviting everyone to come to the room, and BOOM! Everyone would be gossiping. SHIT! Rion had to let go of Odette's hand that was wrapped around his waist slowly. Slowly, slowly, very slowly! Double shit! Rion held his breath as he was struggling to let go from the hug, but she hugged him again and her legs hit his lower body. Odette hugged Rion like she was hugging a bolster, it made Rion forget to breathe for a few seconds. Things got even more difficult and dangerous when Rion's body started to react. His manhood started to wake up when it was hit by her thigh. R
Rion and several high-ranking royals were sitting spread out on the side of a very wide square-shaped table."With this, the Panthera Kingdom's remaining debt to the Naturi Kingdom is three million gold coins," said a man around forty years old as he handed over a check and a file containing the total amount that Panthera owed, and the total amount already paid. That man was Lord Vincent, the royal treasurer of Panthera."Hm… actually you don't need to rush. We are friends, so take it easy," King Elbert said to Rion after reading the file."What does Your Majesty mean no need to rush? The debt has been in arrears for a dozen years. We will pay the remaining one million as soon as possible," Rion explained."I have a feeling you don't see Naturi as a friend.""Please don't be offended. I just don't feel comfortable being in arrears for too long. Even though Naturi never collects, but for years, this debt has made my shoulders feel heavy. After paying this, I will feel re
The next day, King Elbert and Princess Guen continued their journey to Pradis Beach. They thanked King Rion and Her Highness Cristela for hosting them so well, after that they said goodbye to the two people and the palace officials who were there.When the horse carriage bearing the emblem of the Ash leaves passed through the gate, Rion went back into the palace and told everyone to return to their respective activities.Today, Rion spent his time in the study. Yesterday, he had finished a pile of documents, and this morning, the pile of documents returned on his desk, waiting to be read and stamped.Without realizing that the day was getting late, in the training area, the knights were training their muscles, then after that followed by sword training. The knights cheered loudly as Anwen dueled Arlo."LET'S BEAT HIM, PRINCESS!""DON'T LOSE, ARLO!"Arlo had a hard time blocking Anwen's very fast sword attacks."As usual, you are always fast," said Arlo in the middle of the fight. The
A blinding white light appeared in the dark room. A second later, the light disappeared, leaving behind the figure of a wizard with black hair and ruby eyes. The eyes looked around the room. On the walls of the room lined the paintings of the kings and queens of Panthera, who once ruled the country. Starting from the first king to the ninth king, which was currently held by Arion D. Panther. Of the nine kings, Rion was the youngest. He ascended the throne at the age of sixteen to replace the previous king, who died of illness. In addition to the kings, on the walls, there were also displayed paintings of important figures and royal officials, who had contributed a lot in advancing the Kingdom of Panthera. Athreya shifted his gaze to the right, he saw a painting of himself about 200 years ago. His face then and now had not changed much. He was still a handsome man. After a long silence in his place, he finally walked over to the paintings of the former
