In Odette's room, Anwen tried hard to persuade Odette not to leave. "Miss Ody, please don't go. If you go, I will have no friends, and I will be lonely. Miss Ody, please think again, for my sake." Odette turned to see Anwen, who looked at her with pleading eyes. With a heavy heart, she could not grant the princess' wish. Rion just kicked her out, if she stayed in the palace, that meant she was a shameless person. Odette touched Anwen's cheek, for a moment, her hand remained there. "Please, don't be like this, and please understand my situation. If you want to meet me, then you know where to look for me," she said, then hugged Anwen. After that, she wiped Anwen's tears that had fallen, and then she walked out. Anwen offer

Rion got out of bed, and a basin of water caught his attention. He furrowed his brows in confusion, then turned to look, and picked up a folded piece of cloth near the basin. "This… is…?" He rushed to touch Odette's forehead. It was slightly hot. He felt worried and relieved at the same time. He was worried because he knew that Odette had a fever, and he was relieved that Odette's fever wasn't too bad. He fell silent again while he looked at Odette. 'I told you to leave because I want you to always be fine, but seeing you like this… what should I do?' He snorted, then pulled his hand from Odette's forehead. He looked around before he finally walked out of the room. When he came out, he was surprised again when he saw the chaos that was currently in front of him. Obje

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

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

"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
