Richard closed the Door of Darkness, and fulfilled his duties as Emperor.
He became the true Emperor of the Astery Empire.
No one dared to look down on him.
He took the Heir of Light as his wife and gave birth to a successor similar to him.
Some of the burden was lifted off his shoulders.
Everything went according to plan.
Everything's perfect.
Richard returned to the palace with a dignified move.
However, they did not hold a grand welcoming ceremony for him.
Even after two months had passed since the Imperial Emperor had returned, there was no celebration in sight!
Richard headed to the Empress angrily.
At that moment, he heard Diana's scream.
"ah! Ahh! Nah! Nah! No way! George...George!”
What the hell happened to him?
Richard rushed to the Empress's bedroom.
Diana cried as she hugged George. Richard looked at the sight. The curse words that enveloped Blake were now on George's little body.
It is the Goddess' Curse.
Richard and Diana's son, George, has become Heir to the Curse.
***
“Argh!”
I woke up with goosebumps all over my body.
No, it wasn't just a dream.
It's not a matter of the past or the future. It's not even Ancia's memory.
This is a scene from 'The Beast and the Lady'.
The final scene, long forgotten, suddenly appeared.
Diana lifted the curse.
When Blake died, the Goddess Curse was passed down to George, son of Richard and Diana.
I was deep in thought for a while, but soon, I came to my senses.
Where'sme?
Oh, it's a library.
I probably fell asleep while reading Zelcan's history book.
I hurriedly got up and headed to Blake's room.
“Aduh..”.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard a groan of pain.
“Blake!”
Curse sentences covered Blake's body. I rushed to him.
As soon as I made sure it was a cursed sentence, I froze.
I realized the meaning of the letters carved on the stone slab taken from the lake.
— The curse sentence engraved on the 6th prince's body has changed.
the stone slab clearly said so.
And now, Blake gets another curse. The curse sentence covered the left side of his body and it looked exactly like before the curse was lifted.
Instead, it spread more than before, and its shape had also changed.
Blake's hand had ancient writing on it. It looked like a tattoo covering his hand.
I hurriedly took off his clothes.
His body was also carved with ancient language.
[Save me! Laontel! Please save me! I'm alive! When did you come? You promised to be with me. Laontel, I hate you!I hate you so much! Come on, save me! Uh! It hurts! The heat! That hurts! Laontel, I'm so tired. I can't take it anymore. Save me. Please save me. Laontel come on, save me! Phillip betrayed me.]
This is not a curse sentence. It was a message.
It was a message from the Goddess. The Goddess's plea covered Blake's entire body.
The Goddess did not curse Phillip's descendants. He left a message asking for their help.
[Save me! Please save me!]
Again, I heard a woman's cry.
Now, I can tell who the owner of that voice is. It was the Goddess of Light.
He was caught in the dark and asked for my help, a descendant of Laontel Bellacian.
I have to save her. But no one had managed to lift this curse that had existed for a thousand years.
Hows it?
Where's Dewi?
Then a bright light came from my necklace. I saw Tears of Light.
The strong light from the necklace quickly enveloped my entire body.
It led me to the Goddess.
I tried to follow the light but Blake grabbed my hand.
“Ancia, no. Don't go..”
Blake grabbed my hand tightly despite the pain. His hands feel very hot.
I must save the Goddess as soon as possible and lift the curse for good.
"I'll lift the curse completely this time."
“Don't go.you can't go.”
The tears of light knew where the Goddess was and tried to lead me there.
I don't know when an opportunity like this will come again if I don't leave now.
"Don't worry. I'll be right back after I lift the curse. So please wait for me.”
I carefully removed my hand from his grasp and allowed the Tears of Light to take over my body.
***
As the light enveloped my entire body, a silent scene unfolded before my eyes.
Where'sme?
There were no grasses or trees in sight and only barren land stretched out endlessly.
When I turned my head, I saw a black object, which was dug up like a volcanic crater.
It was endless, and it seemed like a giant monster was opening its mouth wide.
It looked exactly as described in the original novel. It is the Door of Darkness.
“Ancia!”
Huh huh? I looked up when I heard that familiar voice.
"Dad!"
Tenstheon, who was standing on the other side, looked at me and ran.
As expected, this was the Valley of Chaos.
And that black thing is the Door of Darkness.
So the Goddess is locked in there?
“How did you get here?”
When I suddenly appeared here, not only Tenstheon but the others were also very shocked.
“Your Majesty! You must keep closing the Door of Darkness!”
I was about to explain the situation but someone called out to him immediately.
"Did he close the Door of Darkness?"
"Yes, Your Majesty is in the process of closing the door."
“Do not close first!”
I cried urgently.
Hearing my words, the expressions of the people there turned ghastly.
“Your Majesty, what are you saying? If we don't close the door, the darkness will swallow us all up! And the whole world will be covered in darkness. No matter how young you are, don't you know that? ”
"Do you look down on him?"
“….”
When the Emperor said so, the person who said that turned pale.
He was the high priest who insisted that Tenstheon put Blake on the southern island and always sided with Duke Cassil.
His position was in danger because the Cassil family had collapsed.
“Tell me why then.”
Tenstheon looked at me and asked softly.
“Not that. The Goddess of Light is trapped there!”
“Trapped?”
"Yes! We need to save the Goddess to completely eliminate the curse of Blake!”
"That doesn't make sense. Why is the Goddess there? Who would do that?! It was an insult to the Goddess of Light!”
The high priest exploded in anger again.
“Stay behind!”
“…”
He gritted his teeth and stepped back.
Now that no one would bother me anymore, I told Tenstheon everything I knew, including the reappearance of the curse sentence on Blake's body.
He listened to me carefully as he stared at the Door of Darkness.
“Then, I will save the Goddess trapped behind the Door of Darkness. Do you trust me?"
“I've always believed in you.”
“Yes, you've always believed in me. I'm gonna save him. I'll get out of here first.”
He tried to summon a knight to escort me, but I refused.
“No, Goddess is looking for me. Only the Heir of Light can solve this curse. I'll do it myself.”
It must be the Goddess of Light who sent the Macul to Tenlarn Palace and showed me what happened a thousand years ago.
He kept giving me pointers, so maybe I did have the strength to save him.
“Here is dangerous.you don't know what will happen.”
“It's okay!I need to do it! I promised to free Blake from the curse.”
As I persuaded Tenstheon, the knights suddenly shouted from behind.
“That's Macul!”
“Your Majesty! Avoid that!"
From the Door of Darkness came many Maculs. Macul rushed at me without hesitation.
“Ancia!”
Tenstheon reached out to me in a hurry but Macul was faster.
Macul surrounded me and led me to the Door of Darkness.
“Ancia!”
"Dad…"
I heard Tenstheon's desperate cries. I tried to call him but I was sucked into the darkness.
