Mila couldn't understand why only she was able to see Cosmo. Was it because she was a descendant of the previous king? But, then Elena should be able to see this spiritual being too, right? But, why couldn't she see it? Isn't that strange and a little unreasonable? However, Mila was reminded once again that she was living in a world full of mysteries where almost anything could be said to be absurd… magic, dark magic and all that…Mila then stared at Cosmo a little longer, the girl looked pale, when she smiled back at her.It was very strange to see herself with black hair and smiling kindly like that, Mila never paid much attention to how she smiled. Therefore, she thought that was what she looked like when she looked friendly.Not bad…Then Mila turned her attention away from Cosmo, she didn't want Liam to suspect or find her strange, and moreover Mila couldn't explain this anyway.They walked through the dark alleys of this dungeon to the room where they held Elena. The air i
"Stop Elena," Liam finally spoke up. He looked at Elena coldly and warned the woman not to continue her sentence."No," said Mila. "Talk. Tell me what really happened in this palace.” Mila ignored Cosmo's protests asking her to kill Elena straight away and didn't need to listen to the woman's cheap explanation.“Mila, it is not something you need to understand. It is not about a curse,” Liam said, trying to keep his voice from sounding like he was trying desperately to hide the truth from Mila.Mila then turned around to face Liam, her arms folded across her chest and she stared at the man with demanding eyes."Then tell me what happened." Mila shrugged nonchalantly, then looked at Liam with defiant eyes. "Looks like you're hiding a lot of secrets from me.""It's not a secret. It's just a rumour." Liam clenched his jaw tightly as he said this.“Okay, then I want to hear what the rumors are,” Mila said calmly then added. “Because yes, I saw the creature. The creature's name is Cosmo an
"Why didn't you tell me?" Mila asked, her focus now on Liam, who was still standing quietly beside her.“Because he doesn't believe that you will end up like the previous kings and queens. He wants to protect you by not telling you this, as if not saying it would have a different effect,” Elena answered Mila's question for Liam.Meanwhile, the king could only stare at Elena with a look full of hostility, as if he was ready to sentence her to death right then and there."I didn't tell you because I didn't think you needed to know about it," Liam said. He then turned his attention to Mila. "Mila, not everything you see is true and not everything you hear can help you."“Then you think, by keeping this a secret, is for best? And my ignorance can help with this matter?” Mila mocked him. "No kidding…"Mila then walked to Cosmo and stood in front of her. This felt strange and Mila still wasn't used to seeing her own figure staring at her and giving her such a look."I see it clearly," Mila
Mila returned with two guards and immediately ordered them to open the chains that bound Elena's body.However, the two of them did not immediately do what Mila ordered, but looked at Liam, asking permission from the king to do what Mila wanted.Of course this infuriated Mila and she glared at Liam angrily, challenging him to say the opposite of what she said.For a while, they stared at each other like that, until finally Liam nodded and allowed them to do as Mila said.Immediately, the chains wrapped around Elena's body were released and she quickly stood up straight, despite the pain she still felt.Because her pride would not allow her to kneel in front of the two guards for long. Elena grimaced and groaned, and cast a hostile look at Mila and Liam."Get out of my sight," Elena growled at the two guards, because she didn't want them to see her in her current state any longer. The elder really felt humiliated in this way."Now tell me what do you know about this curse?" Mila asked
"You want to kill me, Liam?" Mila asked, she tilted her head looking at Liam, then refocused on Elena. “He promised to protect me because I was the last descendant of the king who had raised him like his own.”Liam frowned faintly, but his eyes still stared intently at Mila."You promised me that, didn't you Liam?" Mila asked, she then got up from her seat on the stone bed and walked over to Liam who was still pensive. “You said it yourself that you promised to protect me.”Liam still didn't answer the question or respond to Mila."How about we kill her now?" asked Mila, she then glanced at Elena. “You wanted to kill her a moment ago, and now I will allow you to kill her.”"Allow?" Elena snorted when she heard those words. "I didn't know you had fallen so far that you needed permission from a woman like her to do something."Elena's sneer made Mila frown in disgust, now a murderous aura radiated from within her body, or maybe this was because Cosmo was near Mila, so close that anyone
Yes, Cosmo just appeared, when they were in the dungeon, her figure similar to Mila appeared there, waiting for her, as if she knew that Mila was going to that place.Is this all?Mila couldn't think straight. If she could kill Elder Elena without even batting an eye, then what couldn't she do? And the main question was; how did Mila lose consciousness? And let Cosmo possess her?Not long after, Ariel came and checked Mila's condition, she then gave her a potion that she had to drink while it was warm. The taste was sweet, although the color of the liquid was very dull."You should rest," Liam muttered, he then walked to Mila's bedside and covered her after Ariel and Andreas left the room.“Did the elders know about this?” Mila asked, she looked at Liam with a worried look. "How will they react when they find out about this?""No need to think about that," Liam mumbled again, because he was thinking about something else that was now bothering him. “For now, focus on resting.”Mila sho
Rang didn't mean to say this out loud and expose the royal family's disgrace that they shouldn't hear, but no matter what the words that have been said can't be taken back or ask them to forget it.From the expressions on the guards' faces, the king and the elders could tell that they had heard Rang's words very clearly and now, they were stealing glances at the king, to see how he would react.The current king is not a king and he is not a descendant of the previous king?Rang's words echoed so strongly in their minds that they did not realize what danger lurked them for their reaction.For now, they are still waiting for the king's response. Would he be furious that the elder had said those outrageous words, or…Liam didn't move when he heard the words uttered and didn't offer any defense, as if confirming what the elder said.At this point, the king's reaction was completely wrong. He shouldn't be silent when someone defame him. Or maybe… what was said was the truth…?They were all
Rang couldn't believe what he heard. Liam just threatened them. He threatened to kill them if they dare touch Mila.The anger that had almost subsided in his mind instantly started to rumble again, how could it not? Liam wasn't even a descendant of a king, which meant he wasn't a real king, but how could he be so confident and daring to threaten the lives of the elders?Hadn't he seen with his own eyes how the previous king and queen had gone so mad and so uncontrollable that they had to take the extreme step of killing both of them?It was not an easy thing, even for them as elders, to betray their leader, their king.But, as elders too, they had to make sure that their nation was okay.Out there, the humans were eager to kill them and exterminate them from this world, so there was no need to add to the threat from within, the problems they had to face were already very complicated."You can't threaten us like this!" Rang was so angry, he hit the table again and stood up.This action
