Ilene's face turned pale after meeting Monk Vyndicta. This was not about his fear of the monk, but rather what he had just proved.
As soon as the Vyndicta Monk created a barrier that enveloped him and Ilene, he immediately showed Ilene how much his trusted older brother, Helios de Meglovia, had been spying on her movements.
Not only did Helios implant a tracking device on the necklace she gifted to Ilene, she also placed a magic tapper device inside. Not until there, unbeknownst to Ilene, apparently the brother had placed dozens of spies in the form of ice birds to watch him.
“About, what is the purpose of His Highness Prince Helios spying on your movements? What does this have to do with his worries because however you are his remaining rival whom he has not yet eliminated?”
Ilene until now has not been able to escape the evil whisper of the monk.
“No. There's no way a brother is like that. Big Brother must have had his own intentions as to why Big Brother acted like that. That's right.”
Ilene tried to reject all the negative thoughts in her towards her brother, but nevertheless she was very worried and afraid of her brother's figure.
“No. It could be all this is just the wits of that cunning monk.”
But Ilene immediately recalled the incident that had just happened when Rahib Vyndicta visited her at that time.
“Ilene!”
-puak.
Helios immediately broke the barrier created by the monk no later than 3 minutes after the barrier was created.
“Why did you get here?”
“Ah, that is.. Brother just happened to pass by and felt something strange from behind the door because the atmosphere was so quiet. So Brother barged in.”
Ilene could immediately tell the lie behind Helios' words. It was impossible for Helios to suddenly run from his palace to Ilene's palace which was far away unless he knew from the beginning that something strange was happening there.
How Helios got to feel it, it was all new maybe if what was said by the Monk Vyndicta Eros is true everything. Helios had been spying on him all along.
“No. Surely Big Brother did it all just to protect me from the bad guys.”
However, Ilene persisted in convincing herself that Helios must have been overprotective of her by doing all that to protect her. At least, that was what Ilene was trying to believe in her heart.
But later that night, when he returned to the main palace, he heard a noise from the room of the mother, queen of the Kingdom of Meglovia.
“What have you done an ungodly child?! Do you intend to isolate me, the queen of this kingdom, from all activities outside the kingdom?!”
“It is not so, Mother. The situation outside the kingdom at this time was not good. I'm only worried about Mom if she comes out of the palace at times like this.”
“How dare you do all this to me?! Realize position! I am still the highest power holder in this kingdom after the death of your father!”
“No, Mother. I did this solely for the sake of protecting Mother.”
“You palace guards, what are you doing?! Get rid of these godless child golems and throw him in jail for daring to do brash things to the queen!”
In front of her eyes, Ilene witnessed how her mother seemed to be held out of the house by her own sister. Helios took out his golems to control all the situations that were going on inside the palace.
“The king has just not been crowned, but you are already acting like a king! Do you intend to overstep your authority because you feel that there is no one else who can fight you in this kingdom, you bastard son?!”
Ilene looked right at how her brother's expression was at that moment. It was not the kind and gentle expression that his brother used to show, but an expression of madness. Embrace the anxiety in Ilene, is this the true figure of her brother? Was everything Helios had shown him up to this point just a falsehood? Ilene could not escape from all those thoughts.
“Basic of a disobedient child! You are the one who caused the death of your father and brother!”
“That's right, Mother. I was the one who caused their death. Because I am Father, Brother Tius, and Leon are dead! So if Mother also does not obey me, maybe next is Mother's turn. So be obedient and stay in the room only, my beloved mother.”
“Basic of a disobedient child! Curse you! No, release!”
Helios' golems dragged her mother, who was about to leave her room, back to her room.
It was not clear what kind of expression Helios was showing when she said her last sentence because right at the moment Helios said it, her position turned to Ilene.
However, from the intonation of his voice alone, it clearly did not look like a mere bluff. Helios seriously said it.
Ilene's eyes immediately widened upon hearing the unexpected confession of the brother.
“So is it true that the deaths of Father, Sister Tius, and Brother Leon were all plans of Brother Helios? Come to think of it, the one responsible for the treatment of Father when He was sick was also Brother Helios. What if all that time, he smeared an undetectable poison to Ayahanda? Then after their deaths, it is now my turn as the only remaining thorn in the way for Brother Helios to ascend the throne for his execution?”
Ilene immediately ran in fear towards her room located in the main palace. He immediately laid his body on the bed while lying on his stomach in a tremble. She who initially loved her brother so much is now very scared of him.
There was no longer a friendly sister figure in Ilene's shadow fixed on Helios. Everything was soon replaced by very bad shadows. Helios in Ilene's shadow was like the most dangerous villain in the world.
“No. No. gabe. Nah! I don't want to die!”
There was someone who had always been beside Ilene since Ilene left the Vyndicta Monk so that she could more or less guess what was on Ilene's mind.
“Mr Princess, relax. Surely His Highness Prince Helios is not serious about the sentence he just uttered to His Majesty Her Majesty The Queen.”
Mellina Rosse Icozborne, Ilene's most loyal psychic.
“What do you know, Mellina?! He was a ruthless figure who was truly capable of doing what he had just said!”
“Mr Princess, in fact, what has the chief of the holy temple told you so that you become overreactive like this?”
“Nothing. I just realized how scary my sister is. But I don't want to die, Mellina.”
-ngiii.
The sound of the door opening suddenly sounded without the sound of a knock on the door that preceded it.
“Ilene? What's wrong with you, my sister?”
Apparently the one who entered was Helios, the older brother he had just talked about.
“Tidaaaaaaaak! Aaaaakkkkhhhh! Please, let me live, brother. I promise I will forever live in a remote corner of the palace without doing anything.”
Ilene was instantly hysterical because of the sudden arrival of the figure of the brother who was very scared.
