I can see the look of happiness on Esther's face after hearing the King's decision, for some reason she is very eager to eliminate me, even though Hilbert is now officially hers.Is she still afraid that I will take Hibert away from her again?Shit, I don't know. I don't want to think about all that.Now all I think about is how to get out of this place and go with my baby, I don't want to be caught and end up miserably in this place.Crystal and I should never have been here, now I have to fight alone to get out of this palace, while the person who brought me to this place just left and disappeared somewhere.He couldn't protect me from his father, even he behaved like a loser who kept hiding and instead chose to hide me in the detention room, treating me like a prisoner who committed a major crime and mobilizing many guards to guard me from escaping.Not waiting long, after the King decided on this punishment for me. I was immediately taken to another room in the palace, the courtro
Due to my attempt to escape while the trial was in progress, King Katthias immediately decided to cancel the trial.The King had even been waiting for me in the execution chamber when I was brought there in such a weakened state. Even now, all of my lower garments were soaked with blood that kept dripping from the stitched wounds.King Katthias didn't care about any of that, he just kept staring at me with an angry gaze. I knew what the cause was, and it had to be none other than me trying to escape with a baby that he believed was Esther's.'My baby ... Crystal. How are you now, child? I hope you're doing well.' Not only that, but I also repeatedly said words of apology from my heart to Crystal because I didn't manage to bring her out to save myself as I had promised.''Bitch! How dare you attempt to bring the crown prince of my colony to escape from this palace?!'' King Katthias yelled at me in front of everyone, his voice even booming throughout this room.Meanwhile, beside King Ka
[Hilbert's POV][Lizzbeth's POV stops here]*Crash!*“What's that noise?”The attention of my wedding guests, distracted by a noise coming from the next hall. Everyone was supposed to be here, watching my wedding vows ceremony.So, who was shouting so loudly earlier?“Hilbert. I want to check baby Crystal.” Esther suddenly behaved strangely. “Just for a moment. Hm?”Without waiting for my approval, she waltzed away after kissing my lips. My mind couldn't stop being wary. In the crowd, I noticed which direction that Alpha woman was heading.Her footsteps entered the hall adjacent to my room. And not her room. I looked at her feeling more and more strange. Something was not right here.“Hey.” I called out to one of the waiters who was busy bringing food.“Here. Put on my suit on you. Instead, give me your waiter's clothes,” I said to the Beta man.“Pardon me, your highness?” He looked confused by my request.I took off my maid's coat, and gave it to him. I wanted to follow Esther, but I
“Crystal was going to be killed by your father,” he said out loud. “As soon as I found out you allowed that crazy man to be here, I took off without a second thought.”I couldn't ignore him. David suddenly turned serious. He got up from the floor, wiped the blood off his face, and walked over to me.“Now, ready to tell the truth?” he said to my face. “Lizzbeth will die today. this wedding is just a distraction that Esther planned. She predicted your father would kill Lizzbeth, so she deliberately kept you away from her and Crystal with this party.”My jaw hardened. The hot flood of emotions inside my head suddenly boiled over and exploded, along with my tightened fists.David wasn't entirely right. This party was my own plan. I made my father shut up about this party so that he would let Crystal and Lizzbeth go.But who would have thought Esther would use me to make her move? That damn Alpha woman.“How did you know about that?” I asked, reacting a little late to the information he ga
The peak of my anger was rising. My eyes accidentally caught Lizzbeth's body which was lying stiffly motionless, not breathing, even though above her head stood a cutting machine that would behead her.“Get out of my way!” I pushed away everyone who was blocking my way. I ran as fast as I could like I had nothing else to think about but Lizzbeth.“Get all of you away from her!” I ordered, taking out my sword. “How dare you hurt my Omega. Get away all to the hell!”My hand moved on its own. I no longer realized my sword had pierced the stomach of one of the soldiers blocking my way.Once again, this long, sharp object pierced the soldier's abdomen without me being able to predict it. Finally, I could understand what they meant by 'madness'.I've gone mad. As soon as I saw that Lizzbeth was injured, my rage took to the air like I knew no mercy.'Just kill her. You can do it.''Kill your father. He's the mastermind of all this. Once you kill him, your life will be free. No one can interf
“Amelia ... How could you?” My father fell to his knees, his legs unable to support him.“I thought you ...” His tears began to fall. “I thought you were dead. All this time ... I thought you killed yourself because you no longer wanted to live with me.”My mother looked at my father with such cold eyes. It was unbelievable. Despite being mean to me, I knew my father loved my mother very much. And likewise, my mom loved my dad very much.Then this was the first time in my life, witnessing my mother's eyes so full of hatred. My father's cries seemed to have fed her up. It was like I was looking at another woman.“Katthias. You've gone too far,” she threw out with an angry look on her face, and her hands clenched into fists. “I thought by killing myself, you could repent and reflect on your mistakes. But even after I left, you still haven't changed?”Now, I understood what she meant.My mother, Amelia, did commit suicide. But that suicide failed.She threw herself into the river in the
David's question made me hold my breath and my heart race. Could the punishment given to my father be so cruel?'Will he be sentenced to death?' I thought with an uneasy heart.David, as usual, insinuated my unprofessional attitude.“Your Omega was almost hanged, did you forget?” he sneered sarcastically. “If it wasn't for me, you could've seen Lizzbeth's head rolled out on the floor, severed from her neck.”My eyes closed at the thought of that gruesome scene. It felt like the end of the world if I failed to save Omega who I had made miserable.“You're wrong. I'm not sorry for my father. It's just that I didn't know the court would punish a King without mercy,” I said, defending myself.“Your mother knowingly reported your father's murder and kidnapping, along with Esther,” David said. His focus suddenly fell on the paper in his hand.“And since he was already in the neighborhood of another pack, then her actions became illegal. And don't forget, Lizzbeth is still in control of Aqua
[Hilbert's POV finishes here][Back to Lizzbeth's POV]I sure as hell opened my eyes. Even if these eyelids of mine could make a sound, I guarantee they would scream in pain.My irises are running here and there in search of a light source. However, why was it only darkness that I could see?'Am I dead?’ I said to myself. Even my voice sounded so floating. Is this a sign that my soul has separated from this world?'Crystal ... My son. What happened to him? I never heard his voice. Where is he?'“Ngggg~”My face turned. I was pretty sure I heard Crystal's voice earlier. It was so close. As if we were in the same room.'Wait for me, my son! Your mother will be there soon!'My feet couldn't feel anything but the utter darkness. Even so, my baby's voice sounded very clear. It was like I was trapped in a cave full of mud, restricting my movement.'Crystal! Where are you my darling!?’ I screamed in this infinite cave.My son's voice was getting louder and louder. It was frustrating not bein
