Amanda left the event ballroom feeling claustrophobic. All the bad words people said about her on the show didn't more hurt when she saw Illarion Black dancing passionately with Queen Zaina. Her feet stopped on the balcony overlooking the artificial lake, and there was no moonlight, only stars in the night sky."Wake up, Amanda! Don't be so greedy. He doesn't even look at you; you can never have him! Remember, you're just one of the enemy's family's people, " the girl said while patting her cheeks. Amanda was then pensive and almost dropped tears when she first heartbreak for a man.Oh no, his first heartbreak was with his father. Ben Broke. And what a poor girl, she had to be heartbroken again when she was new to love, even before love blossomed beautifully.Amanda's long silver hair swayed gently in the wind on the palace balcony. Then, finally, someone touched the tip and kissed it."Like I said before when I first met you, you are someone I will be very hard to forget," Apollo sai

Ignoring the objections of her legal husband, Amanda turned and threw stones, causing a lantern hanging on the side of the palace wall to fall. A small fire lit up as the not too much oil residue from the shards of the lantern flooded the ground. Illarion stared in frustration at the girl he had made his body support. 'Is she crazy? What can a fire that's even as big as a birthday candle do.' "Co..me…on," Illarion forced but more like a weak plea. 'Damn, their steps are getting closer, and this crazy woman is just playing around with fire!' "They came?" Amanda asked in a whisper, showing her a few pine cones. Illarion frowned, his sense of hearing still active. 'Wait a minute,' he mumbled to himself. And when his assailants turned on the north wall of the palace they were in, the black-haired man nodded quickly at Amanda, shouting 'now' but not a word came out of his mouth. Even so, Amanda could still catch the athletic man's intent. Immediately the girl threw some dried pine cone

A maid looked sadly at Illarion, "Concubine Mother will be burned this morning in the square. And you will be sent to the battlefield as penance for what your mother did, sir." A piece of news he heard just now, like the beginning of the nightmare of the little Prince's next life.With a raging feeling, Illarion galloped through the palace halls, looking for someone who could defer the punishment his mother was about to receive. His Majesty's room is tightly closed with layers of security. The little boy screamed outside when he wasn't allowed in. His mournful roar was heard in Prince Alexander's room. The fifteen-year-old young man lay in a pool of blood helplessly because of the repeated beatings from his mother for opposing the Queen's words.Illarion's half-brother did not expect her biological mother, Queen Minerva, to use the statement she told earlier to frame Concubine Sonya, the mother of her beloved brother Illarion Black. "Just out of thirst for praise, I lost my brother. I

Still ignoring Illarion, the old woman spoke to Amanda again. "There are still many noble men who will like you Lady, even if you look strange. I'm sure there are still many noble men out there, with smooth bodies although maybe not as handsome as this bodyguard of yours.""My Galela! Come here honey, I've made breakfast for you and our guests," shouted an old man from outside the room.The old woman -Galela- growled. "Look? That's what happens when you marry a man because of his good looks. I'm a noble's daughter who eloped with a gardener, she has no manners and is always shouting to call me," Galela vented while showing her toothless mouth."Galela! Dear! My wife!" Again a scream rang out from outside.While hunched over because of the bone loss experienced due to old age, Galela got up from her seat with the help of Amanda. "Yes! Yes! Damn old man! You're so annoying! Look? Here's an example if you marry a man for face not money, and puff! only a few moments until it becomes old w

"I owe you my life," Illarion said later.Balton smiled. The remnants of the good looks that Galela fell in love with are still real even at his much older age than his wife. "No, I'm the one who paid off my debt."Amanda and Illarion stared confusedly at the old man. Balton chuckled before answering the question that flashed across the couple's faces. "Your horse, wasn't he the one who led you here? It seems the animal wants me to pay off my debt. I only realized this this morning when I saw the mark on the horse's back."Illarion still didn't understand what the old man meant."I'm a twenty bronze man," said Balton. "You may have forgotten that you were in your twenties at the time. A little boy leading a group of troops, it's extraordinary."Balton's dark eyes were still staring at Illarion. "That horse, you bought it when it was used to drag my body down the street by my master, Galela's parents. Then after spending a lot of money on that horse, you also bought me 20 bronzes, 300
