The Only Daughter Of Lancaster
Part Thirty Nine: Home

After three days, they finally reached Plodnavor. Amabel was still wearing her robe to cover her face. Before entering the gate of Plodnavor, the girl requested that Arion lower her and of course be rejected. In the end they parted with the soldiers and ignored the people's welcome. The two headed for the Lancaster residence in silence.

"Thank you." Amabel and Arion heard it.

Arion smiles. "I'd be more grateful if you stopped talking formally and called my name."

"Arion." Amabel turned her head, looking at Arion straight up to make the man startled. He thought Amabel wouldn't call his name. Seeing Arion's face made Amabel chuckle. "It seems better to call you Prince again."

Arion immediately shook his head, though Amabel could not see. "No. I forbid you."

The silver-haired girl nodded with a soft twitch. "All right, Arion."

The wind blew and Amabel's robe fell on her shoulders. His silver hair moved following the wind. "I've cut my hair to a shoulder."

"really? Why?"

Amabel touched her hair, "while practicing my hair was often stuck in the branches of the tree. I even burned this hair. I finally cut it. Ah, but I want Pita and Elle to see it. Mom too. They're gonna scream a lot."

Amabel smiled as she imagined the expression on her third face. Arion can see Amabel's shining eyes, just like when they first met. "You look happy."

Amabel nodded. "certain. I'm finally home."

They entered the gates of the Lancaster family and finally arrived at the main door. The house still looks the same. "Yes!" The greeting came from Rain as Arion helped Amabel down. "Miss came faster as it turned out."

Arion looked at Amabel, "who?"

Rain casually touched Amabel's shoulder. "Rain's. You must be the Prince? Miss rarely tells stories, but I certainly know." Rain touched his chest with a smile. "In this world I understand most, miss."

Amabel immediately stepped on Rain's foot. "Shut up and get in there."

Rain immediately grieved, but he of course complied with Amabel's request. The girl looked at Arion, "she's Rain. Witch of the West and my teacher."

"Ah," that's all that comes out of Arion's mouth. She remembers Amabel saying Rain was female, but it was clear that Rain was male. "I thought he was"

"Dum!"

"Miss!" The screams came from the door simultaneously.

Amabel smiled, "again, thank you."

Arion nodded and climbed onto his horse again. "See you again."

And Amabel nodded. Arion stared at Amabel for a moment. The girl was being hugged by her parents and she couldn't help but smile. From his place, Rain raised his hand to say hello. Arion simply nodded then walked out of the Lancaster residence.

"Bel can't breathe." Said Amabel in a hug. "Do you not want to let me sit down and give you food? Bell's hungry."

John Lancaster - father of Amabel-nodded. "Ah, my daughter must be tired. Let papa carry you."

"Ah, papa this is embarrassing!" Shouts Amabel, but John doesn't care. He hadn't seen his daughter in a long time.

Mary smiled at the behavior of the father and son. "Send Alec and Eli a message to go home tonight. Tell me if they don't come home right away, they'll regret it."

Arion arrived at the palace with a rapturous welcome. At the main door, Jovanka and Alterio were waiting. He got off the horse and Jovanka ran to hug her son. "You're finally home." He hugged Arion.

Alterio smiled at his sister and patted her on the shoulder. "Now don't go again. The kingdom is safe."

Jovanka nodded and rubbed her son's face affectionately. "really. I won't give you permission again if you want to leave. Now, come on in and say hello to your Majesty."

Arion nodded and let his mother hug his waist while Alterio embraced him warmly. "You know, a lot has changed. One of them is that you're not married. Tsk, even though Noah just got married some time ago."

"So, how many nieces do I have?" Ask Arion, kidding.

Alterio instantly locked Arion's neck. "We're waiting for you."

"So, no nephew yet?" Arion and Alterio are back. "Son't it suck either."

Hearing that Jovanka patted Arion on the shoulder. "Can't talk like that. After all, you should be asked when to get married? I heard from Arthur that a girl was on your way. Wh who? You betrayed the Lancaster family's daughter?"

Alterio looked directly at Arion, in disbelief. "Well, I didn't think you were like this. You brought a woman? On the way home? Is she pregnant?"

Jovanka nodded, agreeing to the idea of her son. "Mom has prepared tea and snacks. Rio, call Hendery and invite him to join."

Alterio immediately shook his hand. "No need. He's in a meeting, it'll come when it's over."

The three then stepped into the palace, towards Empress Jovanka's room to be exact. The news of Arion's return spread quickly until Hendery decided to end the meeting. Elliott who was there could only follow orders from above, coincidentally he got a message from home to go home sooner. Maybe his mother managed to make a sakura cake or his father managed to bring a golden deer. Or, Bell's coming home?

Elliott stopped in place, blinking for a moment. There is a possibility, right? He quickly ran towards the main door of the palace, along with Alec. "Sister? You got the same message?"

Alec nodded. Their horses were prepared quickly. "Do you think Bel's coming home?" Elliott asked with a bright face.

"We won't know until we see it." Alec is ready on his brown horse. "Anyone who comes first can hug the bell first."

Elliott grumbled to hear it. "cheat!" His shout coincided with the pull on his horse to chase Alec.

The two brothers chased each other until they arrived home with severed breaths. "Where?" Alec asked a waiter.

Elliott behind him still caught his breath. "Bel where?"

The waiter smiled. "Family room."

Alec and Elliott ran. Just like when I first got back from the dorm. The two race to meet Amabel. The family door opened and Amabel smiled in her place. Elliott involuntarily cried. "Dum!" He shouted while walking with his arms wide open. "Come! I miss!"

In his place, Alec was still standing and staring at his sister's presence in disbelief. "Alec, why silence? Don't miss your sister?" Mary asked with a smile.

His son who had always restrained himself finally advanced. Amabel was still hugged by Elliott when Alec rubbed the top of his sister's head. Her tears welled up, "you're a big man."

Amabel smiled. "I'm home."

With that Alec directly hugged his two younger siblings tightly.

If anyone is happy about coming home, there are also those who cry because of the return. The families of Alberto, Briggit, Esmee, Killian, and Prada wept as their family heads were punished by the kingdom. All five were convicted of corruption, tax evasion, and power abuse. The men involved such as the family secretary Briggit, the butler of the Killian family, and the accomplices of the Prada family were also put to death. This problem is known only to the main family. In addition to the death penalty, their noble titles were forcibly revoked.

This left Pavienavor without a ruler. Some nobles tried to find a way to become Duke, but the King decided to temporarily choose a priest to lead Pavienavor. It certainly didn't take long to make this news arrive at the palace.

Alterio may be happy with the return of his younger brother, Arion. However, as Jeanne's wife instead grieved at the return of her father, Duke Prada. He was angry, why his father? Why should we be treated unfairly like criminals?

If it wasn't for Duke Lancaster and Duke Hamilton, his father would still be alive. "Fuck!" Jeanne's screams in frustration. The whole thing on the dresser was already messy on the floor.

He stared at his reflection in the mirror and threw his shoes, making the mirror crack. Jeanne could no longer see who she was in the mirror. Either himself, or even hatred.

In her room, Dorothy hugged her pillow tightly. He cried, holding his voice heard by others. He knew that his father was not a good man, only that Dorothy did not expect that his father would receive such a severe punishment. If not for the election of the Empress, she would have lost her way. His family lost property, power, and status. Three things have been their lives. Dorothy only got a letter stating that her family was going to leave the kingdom and their whole blood relationship was cut off. It means he's no longer an Esmee. Although after marriage he could not have that name anymore, this time he was really not part of Esmee.

Dorothy lost her entire family in one day. Why didn't they take him and instead let himself be in this place? Again, Dorothy was crying.

Behind the large window of her room Callista stared at the rose garden. The rose is her mother's favorite flower. Today he got word that his father was put to death along with his uncle and brother. After that, his mother committed suicide because she could not live alone.

Callista wiped away her flowing tears without her being able to stand it. No. gabe. He cannot be weak. Since entering the palace, her mother had said that whatever happened she had to be strong. The woman took a breath, her hands touching the glass. Had he not entered the palace, would there have been anything different?

The only thing Callista wants to change is the wedding. He closed his eyes, if he were to marry the person he loved, would the end be different?

If he didn't make it to the test and chose Elliott, would he be happy? Will this feeling disappear? If it was Elliott, Callista could cry and express herself easily.

The one they don't realize, punishing doesn't stop anything. There are things that have happened and cannot be stopped. Eliminating the life of the main perpetrator not stop the crime, but create anger.

Birth, spouse, and death. Three things that cannot be changed despite trying. Rain understood that well. He has outlived other humans and seen how miracles happen. Bringing Amabel to Arion won't change the end of both stories. Simply, changing the relationship between the two can create a new power. Rain did not expect the end result to be different. He only hopes, although for a moment both can feel happiness.

For Rain, both of them had already suffered enough in the past. This time, in this life, although it is not able to be with Rain wants both of them to have a happy life.

"Currently, I'm melancholy." Rain said while drinking wine. "Yes, let's enjoy the destiny that goes on. Let's stop being the Sovereign."
