Finally, Rion gave up. He put the spoon he was holding in the bowl that was on the table nearby.
"I'll answer your questions after we eat. You have a fever, don't hang around too long. After eating, you should rest," he said, while he served the soup in a bowl.
"Don't you remember what you said yesterday to me? Or are you just used to playing with other people's feelings?" Odette's words stunned Rion, and he looked at her.
Odette walked over. "Why are you doing all this?"
"Because I care about you," Rion finally replied.
"Why do you care?"
Rion was silent.
"Get out, get out of here!"
Odette's annoyance with Rion disappeared for a moment. She felt sorry for the man, it seemed that Marine was one of the most important people to him. Rion had experienced many losses in his life. "Marina must mean a lot to you," she said. "Yeah. That's how it was. She was the only good thing in that hell. She often got into trouble because of me. She was lashed once for being caught teaching me how to cook." Rion told Odette about the day when King Roland found out that Rion was learning to cook, he was furious. Rion and Marina were sentenced to lashes. All the servants and residents of the castle who participated in hiding the secret were also lashed. However, out of all people, the one who received the most lashes was Marina. After she received the whip sentence, Marina was fired from her job as a servant. Not
Rion closed his eyes for a moment, then exposed his story to Odette. "That's… because I was worried about you," he finally said. It made Odette proud. She felt her heart was filled with so much warmth. Rion looked at the woman intently. "Get some rest, I don't want you to get sick," he said, then turned around, and continued his activity. He glanced at Odette, who didn't move as she stared at him. 'You are like the changing weather and I still fail to understand you,' she thought to herself. After a long silence, Odette finally left the place, and walked toward her room. In her room, she sat on the bed and thought of Rion's words. 'That's because I was worried about you.'
Odette said that it was like Rion building a wall by putting together a thousand bricks. Rion arranged them so that the wall stood well. He accidentally broke one brick, and he always looked at the broken brick until he forgot about the nine hundred and ninety-nine bricks that had been arranged well. "Just because of one mistake you made, you feel bad and forget the nine hundred and ninety-nine good things you did. Rion, you are a good person, a good man, a good brother, and you are a good king." Odette looked at the window, through the gap in the open curtain. Outside, there were several people chatting happily. "Do you see those people?" she said, which made Rion turn his head, to follow Odette's gaze, and he saw the same thing Odette saw. "They can laugh happily like that because of you, and they can sleep well at night because of you." Rion was stunned and looked back at Odette. "Well, Rion, all of that is possible, because they have a great king like you. They can move about
Anwen wanted to go in, but she was surprised, because Odette suddenly screamed while she held her back. Anwen looked at her questioningly."What is it?" Anwen asked, blinking her eyes. Odette immediately didn't know what to say. She now cursed herself for shouting like earlier.What now? What should she say? She was not very good at making excuses.Odette chuckled and was a little embarrassed."Em… you better wait outside, after all, I'll change clothes. You… understand?" she said as she skipped the last sentence.Anwen didn't answer right away. She looked at Odette intently. It made Odette feel tense, but she finally felt relieved when she saw Anwen nod in agreement.
"Huh?" Rion's eyes went wide when he saw several Randle Forest-dwelling monsters on the palace grounds attacking blindly. All the knights divided the tasks in fighting these creatures. Trish himself was fighting against a large creature, whose shape was a combination of a lizard and a bat. Rion ran quickly to save a maid, who was almost hit by a chimera. He picked up the maid, ran, and took her away from the creature. "Your Majesty." A knight who saw that Rion was not carrying a sword, threw his sword. Rion caught it and immediately used the sword to slash the chimera that was chasing after him. He then kicked the creature away from him. "Take her to a safer place!" Rion said to the knight who had given him the sword. Th
Long ago, after the conspiracy that Queen Helen and Prince Aiden was exposed. Rion sentenced Queen Helen to burn for the use of black magic. Meanwhile, Aiden, who at that time was not proven to use black magic just like his mother, received 'the boat' punishment.That was after being whipped, which caused his skin and flesh to be torn apart, Rion chose 'the boat' punishment to end Aiden's life.Aiden's body was smeared with honey and milk. He was then placed on a tree trunk that had been perforated with the head and legs protruding. After that, Aiden was forced to drink honey and milk, which caused diarrhea before being sent away into the sea.The boat convicts will usually die after days of dehydration, or from the bites of insects that gathered due to the sweet smell of honey, mixed with the stench of the co
They walked through the rubble to enter the palace. Things were really busy inside. People were helping each other to fix all the mess, and help the injured victims."Brother!"They walked over to Rion and Trish, who were talking to two palace officials. When they arrived, the two palace officials said goodbye, then left.At a glance, Rion and Odette exchanged glances. Odette was relieved when she saw that Rion was fine."Brother, are you okay? What happened? Arlo said the palace was attacked by the Randle monster, how did that happen?" asked Anwen.Rion touched Anwen's head and smiled gently."I'm fine," he said. When he saw his sister worrying about him, he felt that their relat
Exactly as Trish had predicted, Aiden's return made Rion remember all the events of six years ago clearly. That made Rion feel very uneasy, and he started blaming himself again.He paced the room with his chest heaving. The king felt like screaming when the faces of Helen and Aiden came to mind. He hit the wall in rage, but moments later his expression turned sad. He remembered Rose and Lucas.He stood there for a moment before Odette walked out with wide strides and a shaking face.Odette planned to see Rion's condition because she was worried after hearing Trish's words. She saw the man with a tense face and decided to follow him."Stop!"When Rion took his horse and looked like he was about to leave, Odette immediate
