“Are your wounds healed?” Odette asked. She was trying to keep Theo from talking about the one million gold coins. However, Theo knew her intentions. “Your husband and I have made a deal, so I assume the debt is paid off,” he said, making Odette a little surprised. “What deal?” “Anyway, it’s paid off, and you don’t have to worry that I’ll chase you. Bye, I have to run an errand,” Theo said, walking away from the place. However, he came back when he realized he did something wrong. Theo then bowed politely in front of Odette. “I’ll excuse myself, Your Highness,” he said respectfully. The man was suddenly very polite. Theo left Odette, and he was stunned to see Rion up ahead, looking him straight in the eyes. His expression suddenly stiffened. 

Rion entered the room and found Odette sleeping soundly. Beside her, there was a phone and the painting of Celestial portrait. He then looked at his wife. Her face looked sad, and it seemed she had been crying. Rion stroked her head gently, feeling very sorry. “Rion.” “I didn’t mean to wake you up,” said Rion as Odette opened her eyes. The girl got up, and he sat beside her. “Rion, do you still have the crystal that Aathreya gave me?” Odette asked while looking at Rion with puffy eyes. “Trish put it on Randle Mountain so that Narine could go to the mountain and get back to the palace any time. What’s wrong with the crystal?” “I want to go to Randle Mountain to meet Narine. She is always with Aathreya. I want to ask her many things about my grandfather. Can you help me?” 

After a while, Anwen calmed down and fell asleep. Odette was still awake, waiting for Narine to come back. She sat by the window, watching the snow fall slowly. The entire ground was now covered with snow. Odette tightened her coat as the air got colder. When she first came to the palace, it was summer and now it was already winter. After waiting long, the crystal finally shone brightly. Not long after that, Narine appeared. “Narine!” “Huh?” The fairy was surprised to see Odette who suddenly appeared in front of her. “Y-yes.” “I’ve been waiting for you. I need to talk to you,” said Odette, immediately catching the little fairy. “Let’s talk somewhere else.” “But, I’m hungry!” Odette took the cake that Anwen al

Rion, who was informed by Nadin that Odette was in the north tower, rushed there right away. When he got there, he met Elis who was watching his wife from afar.“The Queen has been sitting there since this afternoon,” said Elis worriedly. She and Nadin took turns watching the queen in the tower from noon until evening. Rion was surprised to hear that, and he immediately approached Odette. He took off his coat and draped it over Odette’s shoulder then sat beside her.“What is it?” Odette asked confusedly.“What do you mean by what is it?”“You’re here.”“Because you’re also here.”“Did you finish your work?”“I skipped,” said Rion while turning around. Odette smiled, but the smile looked forced, not like her usual sweet smile. “What should I do?” Rion asked, making Odette confused.“What do you mean?”“What should I do to make you smile like you used to?” He reached out and held Odette’s hand, which was cold from being outside for too long. Besides, the wind was very cold because it

Michelle’s body was taken out of the capital to be buried. Since she was no longer a member of the Scarlet family, then she couldn’t be buried in Scarlet Family Cemetery. Aerith was exiled, while Cristela along with Erika and Erina started doing community services to the citizens in the capital. They distributed food and blankets to the homeless and provided other assistance using their personal possessions. The cold air made her cough, but Cristela took her punishment wholeheartedly, hoping it would lessen her sins. As his promise, Rion took Odette out of the palace while riding on Derby’s back. Anwen and Trish followed and watched them from afar. “Rion, stop.” Hearing his wife’s order, Rion immediately stopped his horse. “What’s wrong?” Odette took out her phone,
