A few hours later, Odette finally managed to finish her job. The makeshift rope she would use to descend was ready. She then tied the rope to a pillar and began to slowly descend with her feet on the wall."Ah." She smirked, apparently, it wasn't as easy as it seemed. Odette panicked as her body swayed and her leg slipped, then she dangled. This happened over, and over again before finally one of the knots of the rope fell off and …AAAAGH!Thud!Someone caught her body just in time."Tri-Trish?"Meanwhile, elsewhere, Rion was standing in silence, while contemplating all the things he had just done. He was a little surprised to see Trish carrying Odette.

Odette occasionally hid when she saw a knight or servant. She had to get out soon before the maid she had knocked out came to her senses and told everyone that she had run away.After she turned left and right, down the stairs, hid, and jumped from the window, she finally managed to get out of the palace building.She looked around and she felt lucky because the place looked deserted. The palace door was still open after being passed by several builders, who were repairing the damaged facade of the palace building."Hm?" Arlo, who recognized Odette, wanted to approach the woman. But he stopped his intention when Rion, who came from behind called his name and asked Arlo not to do anything. Rion also signaled to all the knights who saw Odette not to do anything.After Odet

Odette continued to struggle while screaming for Rion to let her go."Don't move too much or you might miscarry!""Nonsense! Let me go!""Don't scream or everyone will think I kidnapped you.""HELP I AM BEING KIDNAPPED! HELP! THIS MAN WANTS TO SELL ME!"How unlucky!Rion cursed in his heart.After Odette screamed, the people around the place immediately approached and surrounded Rion, who was in disguise by returning to his curly wig."Let go of her or we'll beat you to death!" said one resident. Odette looked up and saw a dozen people gathered around them.

Dario and David had returned to the Archaean Empire using the teleportation crystal."Welcome, Father." A young man with black hair with blue accents on his temples greeted Dario's arrival. He was Prince Drystan, Dario's son by his third wife. Currently, Drystan was the crown prince."Was everything okay while I was gone?" Dario stepped inside the palace, followed by Drystan and David."Yes, Father," answered Drystan.Inside the palace, Empress Cordelia greeted them. She was the mother of Prince Drystan. She had just been appointed Empress to replace Isabella who had died.Previously, she only had the status of a king's consort and lived in the queens' palace together with Queen Melisa. Queen Melisa was the emperor's fourth w

"Please don't be offended, Your Majesty. I'm glad to hear about your marriage, but I don't think this is the right time to get married. I'm afraid that during the wedding, Prince Aiden will again send the monsters of the Randle Forest to attack the palace," said Mr. Hatter, one of the Panthera generals."I agree with Mr. Hatter," said Duke Scarlet, a man with ginger hair that sat on the left side of the table."Your Majesty… can you hold back until… this matter is resolved? Or at least until things are more conducive?" A white-bearded man that sat close to Rion spoke up. He was Mr. Lino, the chief secretary."Don't all of you exist to take care of that? I still want to get married, because I really believe in all of your abilities. I'm sure the wedding will take place safely under your protection," Rion said, then smiled faintly. He politely declined the suggestions of all these people.'It seems His Majesty has been very desperate. He's adamant that he wants to get married,' Mr. Lino
