"Your Majesty,"

King Monachus, who was busy with important documents in front of him, looked up to Lasel, his right hand.

"What's up, Lasel?"

"Princess Sirena is conscious. Don't you want to see him?" Lasel looked at King Monachus flatly.

"Do you think I should go see him?"

Lasel let out a tired sigh because of his employer who was also his friend. Lasel scowled his dizzy temple, "You've gone too far towards Princess Sirena."

Now it was King Monachus's turn to take a deep breath, "You know for yourself I didn't mean it that way. I'm just following the will of the late Agalia."

"Well, what about going forward, Your Majesty? Will you remain silent after slowly knowing who is wrong?" Unknowingly Lasel raised his tone.

King Monachus stood up from his seat, and stared intently at Lasel, "Lasel, watch your words! What if my wife hears it?"

Lasel held back his frustration, "The Queen has already exceeded her limits. You know for yourself lately monster attacks are no longer there, but some people lost their sons and daughters. With all this, will you remain silent?"

The atmosphere was momentarily silent. King Monachus turned around, looking at the window in his study that showed a view of the Manor Chysanthemum where Sirena was.

"You don't know anything, Lasel. I've prepared several plans, including sending Sirena to Osaka village. Let Sirena know for herself the truth about herself and her mother." King Monachus knew of his Queen's behavior. But for the safety of everyone, pretending not to know is the main way. Including preparing to fight against the real enemy.

The war against darkness. Until that day comes, she must succeed in making Sirena realize who she is as Asthropel's last descendant.

'Nature's guide to the darkness that envelops. Asthropel the last of the line.'

That is part of the prophecy book that King Monachus had read. Who would have thought that all this time, King Monachus was the one who kept the prophecy book?

'Night without moon, morning without sun. Followers of darkness are scattered for the sake of life ...'

'There is no Zifgrid for Dryas the heir of darkness ...'

"Where is the Queen now?" King Monachus' gaze flashed coldly.

"The queen was in the palace garden to entertain the noble ladies who came to visit." Lasel's reply made King Monachus grit his teeth.

"Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter the Royal Palace? Looks like you're stronger than ever, my Queen .." The murmur of King Monachus was able to be heard by Lasel's ears. Although Lasel was already four-headed, but it did not make his abilities fade away.

But one thing Lasel still wanted to know, "Your Majesty ... Don't you want to tell Princess Sirena that she's still mem-"

"Stop talking, Lasel!" King Monachus turned quickly and cut Lasel's words, "He will know for himself. You'd better come with me to Manor Chysanthemum."

Lasel did not dare to speak anymore. Maybe he underestimated his master too much. One thing he forgot, King Monachus would not have been King if he had not been that clever.

"Okay, Your Majesty ..."

...-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-...

Inside her room, Sirena was still lying looking at the ceiling of her room made of wood. There are no paintings like the rooms of other noble Princesses. As simple as this is the room of a Princess Sirena.

"Where is Sirena? Did he make it out of the necklace that trapped him?" Devita who was in Sirena's body began to miss the figure of Sirena.

"Sirena ..."

"What's calling me?"

Devita was still staring at the ceiling of her room, "Lo where sek-" Devita sat down and turned to look at her bedroom window. His eyes were puffed up when he saw the figure of Sirena who was standing while having her chest closed looking at him flat.

"Don't make my face look ugly with that look, Devita!" Sirena mumbled as she looked at her face so hideous expression.

Devita did not care about Sirena's ravings, she then woke up and ran to hug Sirena.

"Oh my goodness sis! I don't think you can get out of Galcinia's necklace," Devita broke her arms.

Sirena chuckled, "That's all thanks to you too." Sirena's eyes now looked at her room which looked different. The room is much more colorful than before which is dominated by dark blue.

"Is it good for your room now?" Devita shows the look on Jumawa's face. Show off the hard work of this room to Sirena.

Sirena nodded, "Your taste, may as well." Sirena looks satisfied to see her nice room, she then sits on the edge of the bed followed by Devita.

"Devita, I haven't told you about something I want to make sure of, have I?"

Devita nodded, "What?"

"Then get involved with me too." Devita grabbed Sirena's hand, clasping her delicate and cold hand tightly Sirena, "For so long, I never got a chance to be filial with my Mama. My mother always refused my presence beside her."

A nod from Sirena made Devita smile, "When we look around like twins,"

"I'm happy to have a twin like you who likes to eat, haha ..."

Tok tok tok tok

"Sirena, His Majesty King Monachus wants to see you. Are you letting him in or not?" Aindrea's voice interrupted Sirena and Devita's conversation.

Devita panicked for a moment, "Sirena, what if Mr. King sees us? I mean, how come there's two like this?" Devita points at herself and Sirena.

"You take it easy, I'll show myself if I want to show it. You better lie down on the bed." Sirena stared at the door with a cold look, "Tumben once she comes to see."

"Positive thinking, mr. lo got to convene." Devita who was already lying on the bed.

Sirena laughed, "There's only you, Devita. Yes, let Daddy in. I was there to see." Sirena then walked towards the dressing table, she sat on the chair.

Devita cleared her throat for a moment, "Let Mr. King come in, Bang Indra."

Shortly the door of Sirena's room opened, the figure of King Monachus who still looks handsome though no longer young standing in the doorway looking at his daughter who is also staring at him.

King Monachus closed the door, then he walked calmly toward his daughter. Seeing a chair to sit on the edge of the bed, King Monachus sat there.

"Ehm ..." King Monachus cleared his throat to ease the awkwardness that suddenly came to him.

"Are you better?"

Devita nodded, "I've gotten better, it's just that I'm hungry now." Devita's eyes occasionally glanced towards Sirena.

"Good then."

Suddenly silent atmosphere. King Monachus kept silent as he looked at his daughter whom he had long neglected.

'I know you must hate me so much, Sirena ...'

Unlike Sirena who looked at the figure of King Monachus. The figure of the father whom he had longed for his affection. Seeing his silent father while looking at his body made him claustrophobic.

"If your condition has improved, go to Osaka village immediately." King Monachus was just afraid things weren't going right.

"Why do you want me to go to Osaka village?" Devita looked at the curious King Monachus. King Monachus seemed to be hiding something.

'What is the King hiding? Why would he want me to go there?'

"I haven't told you yet, Osaka village is the village where you were born. Your mother gave birth there while accompanying me to visit the village of Osaka, which was in the midst of drought." The explanation of King Monachus made Sirena and Devita surprised.

"really?"

King Monachus nodded once, then his gaze focused on the black rose symbol on his daughter's forehead. His hands stretched out to touch the symbol, "How can such a complicated destiny come your way?" king Monachus' murmured very slowly.

'According to the prophecy book, you should be with the Demon King, the ruler of Canopus. How can you be with Athanaxius?' This was what King Monachus thought after Athanaxius submitted his proposal and Sirena accepted it.

Devita was shocked when King Monachus' hand touched his forehead. She felt uneasy with Sirena staring at him with a sad face, as if she also wanted to be touched by her father.

King Monachus drew his hand back, and he should not have let go to touch Sirena. Maybe he should go back, if it is too long it will not be good.

"I wish you a lot for Osaka village. Do your best, or the title of a Princess attached to you is forced to be revoked." King Monachus coldly.

Devita snorted, "You'll see."

King Monachus stood up from his seat, "I will command Syracuse to escort you by the permission of Emperor Helarctor. Is that enough?"

"Why should Syracuse?" Devita really did not want to get involved with the strange man.

"Do you want your future husband to escort you?" King Monachus asked back.

"Eh, no-no! That's not it!" Devita shook her head quickly. Devita finally chose silence. The King's words are absolute. If King Monachus chose Syracuse to escort him, it could not be contested.

Devita and Sirena both looked towards King Monachus who was walking towards the door.

Before opening the door, King Monachus stopped, "One day you will understand, Sirena ... Why it's better to be quiet and pretend not to know is the best way to be safe." After saying that, King Monachus came out, leaving confusion for Sirena as well as Devita.
