Trapped in the Past
EPISODE 17'S

...HAPPY READING'S...

Athera grumbled after leaving the Regaz residence. He chose to return to his pavilion because of Regaz which made him surprised by the stupid invitation.

"Sister!"

Athera stopped her mockery for Regaz as Retha ran over with a panicked face towards her. Retha tried to catch her breath and then looked at the sad Netra Retha.

"What's wrong?" Athera tries to help Retha by rubbing the girl's back to keep her cool.

Slowly Retha puffed up. The girl's tears just flowed and then hugged Athera so tightly.

"Dad and mother died!" Rethah took pains to say and then her cries broke.

Athera did not feel a great shock of grief. Athera was only sad when she saw Retha crying. It wasn't his parents but he felt sad even though it wasn't like Retha. But how did both of Athera's parents die?

"The father and mother's body have just been taken to the virtual esse's palace." Rethah said with a more heartbreaking cry.

Athera releases Retha's embrace and then grabs the girl's shoulders. " Is that really their bodies?"

"Tier told me. I want to see it! I can't go there without my sister."

Athera moved quickly, he pulled out Retha's hand then immediately ran towards the virtual esse palace. It is also the castle where Regaz lives.

Regaz shuffled his hair in frustration as Athera walked away from his room. He was obviously rejected outright and this was the first time he had been rejected by a woman. Regaz is not out of thought with the way Athera thought. If the woman is pregnant then the position of the gazianor will change in the eyes of the virtucal esse.

"Your Majesty, allow the servant to enter."

Regaz immediately tidied up his appearance even though now his face was slightly flushed due to Athera's punch.

"Come in" replied Regaz from within.

The big door to Regaz's room opened and Regaz walked in. Tier caught his breath then lowered his respect.

"Bad news, Your Majesty," Tier said.

"What's that?"

Tier took his breath in. Somehow it hurt when it came to this news, Tier recalled how Retha was instantly hysterical to hear this news.

"Both of the empress' parents, found dead."

Regaz bought his eyes. He had given strict security to the slave-only prison for the Athera family. Regaz also treated the Athera family well from his meal and regular health checkups, so it was unlikely that both of Athera's parents died of starvation or illness. Was murdered? Or is this just wind?

"Where did you get this information?" ask Regaz.

"Hows it? Does Athera know about this?" Regaz said anxiously. Tier could see a worried and fearful look in Regaz's eyes.

"I think I've already."

Regaz chipped in annoyance. " Where are the bodies of Athera's parents?"

"It's in the palace."

"We have to move fast, hide the bodies of the two Athera parents. For now we make this information engineering. If Athera just finds out about this, I'm afraid she misunderstands and hates me." Afterwards Regaz left just like that leaving Tier who could only pause for a moment to digest Regaz's words.

"So that's what you're afraid of?"

Then, Athera terrorized the soldiers guarding the main door of the Palace. It was only then that the soldier who recognized Athera gave way. Athera ran with sweat that soaked her temple to her neck.

The woman stopped in a large room. It's in there. Athera could see there were two chests in the room. This is a large room that a king usually uses to negotiate with ministers and other high officials. But here there are only a few soldiers guarding the crate. Then they moved away from near the chest when Athera let go of Retha's hand which she ran with then approached the chest with a shunt. The lid of the crate had opened so Athera did not have to bother opening it. Athera was also curious as to what the two Athera krystalian parents looked like.

DEG!

Athera silenced her mouth with both hands, the beautiful hazel belonging to Athera glazed over.

"B-ba-how could it be?!" Athera screamed, her eyes tightly closed and her hands raised to cover her ears. Athera immediately squared between the two chests.

Retha tried to get close to her brother however, the Tier who had just arrived immediately embraced Retha. He didn't want to see Rethah like Athera. Regaz stared with a fixed gaze at Athera.

"I'm late," Inner Regaz

Athera was silent after screaming like that. He did not expect all this to happen. How could both Athera Krystalian's parents have faces that were very similar to both of her parents. What does this have to do with Athera Krystalian. How could the people of his time move here. Starting from Alexus who has a face like Azen then both parents Athera Krystalian similar to both parents.

Athera got up then smiled cynically, she could not even prevent the tears from continuing down her cheeks.

"No! They're not my parents, so what am I supposed to do like this? My parents were still alive in my day. They're the woman's parents so what's ak-" for "

Athera could not continue his words, as his two eyes re-stared at the contents of the chest.

"You're not my parents! It's just a hallucination!" Athera again closed both ears while closing his eyes with his head continuing to move to the right and left, rejecting the reality he saw. Retha hugged Tier. He could not face all of this let alone see Athera who was so devastated.

Regaz stepped closer to Athera and said softly calling the woman's name, "Athera... "

Athera stopped her crying then looked back and found Regaz standing not far from her.

"That's his revenge, are you?" lirih Athera then the body of Athera dimbung. The woman fainted along with the words she finished for Regaz.

...SERIATE.....
