Flashbacks

"Where have you been Lily?" Ian who just came out of the boutique.He approached Lily who was with the stranger.

"Sorry, I just visited an antique store, and then accidentally collided with this man" Lily explained.

Ian looked at the man in front of Lily.He looked a little surprised, and bowed.

"I greet His Highness the Crown Prince.May God bless you" Ian said.

Instantly my face was shocked to hear Ian greeting this foreign man.

'E-eh!?What's up!?Crown Prince!?!?'

Episode 6

"May God bless you as well as Ian." the crown prince replied to Ian sounding relaxed.

"I'm sorry for my stupidity, Your Majesty, the servant deserves to be punished" Lily said as she bowed before the Crown Prince.

"Miss doesn't need to be like that just because of a trivial matter" she replied with a smile.

There was nothing about the Crown Prince in Lily's memory, only she was now also shocked.But she did not expect, the Crown Prince is this handsome.

"Because, isn't this lady Lady Everon, Duke Everon's daughter?" ask the Crown Prince to Lily.

"Yes, Your Majesty." replied Lily.

"I heard rumors from noble women.Lady had fallen unconscious for 3 months but not distributed to the public, and is it true that the lady will be engaged to this 'Devil?" ask the Crown Prince a little jokingly.

"Aren't you afraid of dying?" ian asked the Crown Prince in a cold and threatening tone.

"hey-hey!I'm just kidding buddy, don't be so serious!" replied the Crown Prince a little nervously.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will be engaged in 1 week's time at the party at the Palace." replied Lily.

"It turns out Dad didn't lie" the Crown Prince murmured.

"We need to get back, the air's getting cold.Come on, Lily." Ian said flatly.

"You guys want to come back?How else, be careful on the road" said the Crown Prince.

"Thank you Crown Prince.We say goodbye first." Lily said with a smile.

At a glance the Crown Prince's ears turned red and he left with some of his guards.

/Skip at Duke's Residence.

After arriving at the castle, Duke asks Ian to stay the night and also to discuss the tradition of Duke Everon's daughter's engagement.

"Young Master, as you know, our family's daughter's engagement must have the blessing of the Crown Goddess."

"Yes I know.Dad also told me 2 days ago." replied Ian.

"Do you know how to do this tradition?" ask Duke to make sure.

"I heard that the Everon family woman who was engaged, will make a surrender to the Goddess first. And, after the surrender, the, the woman must get the Crown Goddess alone without the help of others and the Man who will become the fiancee must wait until the woman gets her blessing and comes out safely.If the woman fails then the man who becomes the fiancee of the woman it's never going to be able to have children." Ian explained.

"You're right, it's the belief in the Goddess that determines whether or not that blessing will be given" Duke said.

"Lily, do you believe me?" ask Ian.

"Hum??Of course." replied Lily somewhat doubtful because she did not understand.

"Lily, prepare for tonight, you must get that blessing immediately" said Duke.

"Okay dad." replied Lily.

"You can rest in each room Lily, take Ian to his room and don't forget later tonight" said Duke.

"Yes dad.Come on Ian, I'll take you to your room."

"You don't have to talk to me formally" Ian said.

"Where is possible.You are the Young Master of the Darvin family." said Lily.

"Wear informal language, it'll be more convenient for me" Ian said.

"All right."

'So he's uncomfortable when I use formal language?Strange.' thought Lily.

Lily also drove Ian to his room which was located just next to Lily's room.

"This is your room.Rest it, I will build you later tonight." said Lily from the door.Ian went into the room and sat on the edge of the mattress.

"Lily, come here" he said.

"Hum??" Lily who was confused just obeyed Ian's words.

"What's wrong?" ask Lily.

Ian pulled Lily's hand down and Ian hugged her.

"Wait for Ian what are you doing!?" lily asked stuttering with a face that had been flushed from embarrassment.

"Let me rest with you" he said in a soft tone.It looks like Ian is very tired.

"B-but not this!" said Lily while rebelling want to release his embrace.No response, turns out Ian was asleep.

"Basic.."

'He was like a baby when he fell asleep' Lily thought as she touched Ian's face.

'What am I thinking again you stupid!!'

/night skip.

The Duke, Duchess, Lucas and Lily gathered in the basement.Duke took out a small knife and gave it to Lily.

"Lily, scratch your palms and let your blood flow.Do not wipe at all, that's a sign you have begun to surrender yourself to the Goddess." said Duke.

"Okay dad." replied Lily.

Lily who's used to getting hurt in life

previously because his stepmother, considered this ordinary.Just he scratched his palm with the knife, the blood flowing was swift, but he did not heed.

Lucas who saw Lily scratching his hand that deep felt strange.The hand of the first person to fry his own hand should be shaking, but not with Lily.

Father also opened the iron door that looks very worn but sturdy which is the door to the Crown of the Goddess was located, how dark and sunny the room was.

"Come in, and do it carefully" said the worried Duke.

"Let's just calm dad, I'll be fine." Lily replied.

"Lily, be careful" said Ian briefly.

"You think I'm who the young master is" Lily said with a faint smile etched into her face.

"I believe you." she replied with a faint smile.

Lily entered the room using a torch that the Duke gave her just now.Only a small wind sound that she could hear.

"If only this world had a flashlight, it would have been younger to see the road." Lily murmured.

Instantly the room was filled with green-colored light blending blue on each of its walls.The light demanded Lily towards the crown it was in.

"Truly magic.." muttered Lily so flattered.

While following the direction of the light, Lily saw on the walls of the room there were some ancient images showing the ancestors.

"Isn't there no time for them to just draw something like this??Just wasting time, I gotta hurry."

There was Lily at the end of the room.There was an iron door that looked very sturdy and strong, as if it could not be moved at all.

"It's impossible for me to open this alone.Is there any clue here that can help?"

Lily saw a shallow hole in the door that did not penetrate the room behind the door.There are several patterns that are in the door.

"I don't know what to do!How about this, there's not a single clue I know." he muttered annoyed.

Very long for her to think about this door, and she remembered a jewel made necklace that Lily always brought from her late grandfather.Lily also took the jewel from the necklace that Lily always wore.

"This jewel..Why did I realize that 'Lily' was wearing a necklace?" he murmured in astonishment while matching it with the hole in the door.

"Exactly the same.But the patterns on the door..Oh yea!this blood."

Lily put the jewel in the hole and dripped her blood on the jewel. Soon the door was opened and a blue crown on the podium was illuminated with light on it making the crown look very valuable.

"Beautiful." Lily touched the crown slowly.Suddenly came out a very bright light from the crown.Seeing a figure of white light resembling a long-haired beautiful woman appeared from that light.

"After 100 years I can finally get out" said the woman.

"Sorry, who are you?" ask Lily about the woman.

"Geez, there's a pretty girl here.You must be Lily, I already know about you.You don't know who I am?" ask the woman.

"No." replied Lily.

"I am the owner of the crown.I am Goddess Lisera, the guardian of the crown and protector of the Everon family." said the woman who claimed to be Goddess Lisera, the protector of the Everon family.

"So are you here to get my blessing?" continue to ask.

"Yes the Goddess." replied Lily.

"Who's the guy who's gonna be your partner?" continued.

"The first son and heir of Grand Duke Darvin, Levian de Darvin".

"Good as well.I will see how far you will survive.I will tell you, if the ashes then you will not be able to live together more than 5 years.Yellow means you are only based on contract for the sake of successor, if you will not be able to live together,no one will know what will change later, and if it is purple then you will be happy until the end of your life, are you ready?" clearly her.

"Yes I'm ready." Lily replied firmly.

"Smart kid, close your eyes" he said.

Lily closed her eyes, and the Goddess read a foreign sentence,.Soon after, the goddess told Lily to open her eyes again.

"It's so weird."

"What's wrong?Is something wrong?" ask Lily.

"The color of your future is white" he said.

"White??What does that mean?" ask again.

"I don't know either.Previously no one got white" he explained.

"So what should I do?"

"I'll ask Lucitus that later" he replied.

"Lucitus??" ask Lily.

"He's the Empire's patron god.For a while I'll give you a talisman" he said, giving Lily a clock necklace.

"This is a clock that was in an antique store" Lily said.

"I gave you some magic at that hour.That's fine, and also I've already blessed you." She said.He gave a crown of beautiful white jewels as proof that he had approved of the relationship.

"Good Goddess, thank you very much" Lily said happily.

"I'll get you back to where your father and the others were.Until we meet again." he said, leaving and Lily returned to the beginning.

"Lilly!are you okay!?" asked the Duke worried.

"I'm fine and, the crown has approved." Lily replied while showing her the crown that Goddess Lisera had given her.

"The crown suits you Lily" Ian said.

"really? Thanks." reply Lily.

"What is the color of your future?" ask Mother.

"Emm, thatu..White" Lily replied doubtfully.

"What do you mean"

"Mr Duke!The Emperor's Majesty is coming to see you!"

A servant hastily told the Duke about the arrival of the Emperor.Not to be shocked but the Duke remained relaxed with a smile.

"Alright, I'll be there soon" he said, walking slowly up to welcome the Emperor.

'Why are you now the emperor who is here?!And also you can be that relaxed?!' thought Lily astonished.

"We also have to welcome him.Let's go" said the Duchess.

"Good."
