"As his nickname suggests, he's a God of Death who knows no tolerance for enemies" the Crown Prince said.

"Involving feelings in the enemy is something to be shunned.Either the enemy is a friend, family, or even a lover.", replied His Majesty.

"I hope the child does not blame himself after this" Her Majesty The Queen said.

"No, I assure you." replied His Majesty.

Soon it rained, soaking the execution ground covered with blood.Lucas was still there.

'Now it's really over Fei...'

Episode 75's

After the execution was completed, the volunteers and some palace troops cleared the square.The heads of the rebels were planned to be buried separately with their bodies, regardless of where.

/In the mansion of Grand Duke Everon

"Sir, are you okay?".

"Of course, what do you mean ask that??".

"Since the execution is over, you keep daydreaming, has anything stuck in your mind?".

Lucas was silent for a moment, thinking about the answer to the question Irvan was asking.

"Well, what yes.I don't know", replied Lucas while staring at the window.The rain was falling quite fast outside.The park in front of Lucas's workspace was flat wet with rainwater.

"It's pretty cold today huh" muttered Lucas.

"Yes?Ah, maybe because it is now mid-autumn.Very rarely also rain in this season.", replied Irvan.

'Is there a rainbow coming up later?I want to see it.'

A moment later someone knocked on the door of Lucas.Irvan workspace immediately opened the door.Ken and Lily were already standing in the doorway with worried faces.

"I'll excuse you first", Ivan went straight out and let the three of them talk.

"What are you guys doing here??the affairs report to the ballasts", Lily immediately approached Lucas in his chair and hugged him tightly.

"Lily what's wrong??" asked Lucas in surprise.

"Sister.is it true what I saw earlier was Brother Fei?..."Lucas was stunned by Lily's question.It was clear just now that it was Fei, why did Lily ask again.

"Of course, you saw it too" Lucas replied gently, wiping Lily's tears.

"Actually, I was worried about your situation after the execution.It was only this first time that you beheaded a woman, especially she was your ex-lover.", explained Ken.

"You're right, I who usually cut off the enemy's head and cut it into pieces won't let a woman get hurt" Lucas said.

"But just now, it was really a strange feeling.Hasrat killed me out just like that and subconsciously I've beheaded them one by one,the most surprising thing was Fei.My hand still even felt the pressure of my sword while cutting off his head.A feeling that greatly disturbed me.", continued Lucas clenched his hand tightly.

Lily clasped Lucas's hand gently, trying to calm Lucas' feelings that must be very chaotic at the moment.

"Sister, I will always be here for brother.So will Brother Ken.We are family.", Lily said.

"That's right." Ken walked over to Lucas and patted his brother on the shoulder.

"If we are not one roof, we already have the status of each, but we remain family,blood relations will still flow in us.Therefore do not hesitate to ask for help to us, do not act the strongest.", continued Ken with a big smile.

Lily nodded in agreement and smiled widely.Lucas felt the warmth between them, he also smiled and brought Ken and Lily's head closer to his shoulder.

"Thank you.I promise to keep our relationship until the end of life, and even the next life.", Lucas said gently and with a faint smile.

'Right, I don't have to worry.there are people who have always supported me and are always there for me.'

On the other hand, precisely in the territory of Grand Duke Darvin is still shrouded about the concerns of the people of Duchy about the condition of Yesra.

It has been 5 months but Yesra's condition has not improved.Ian and Yusto are really very worried about Yesra's condition which is currently very weak.Many efforts are made over the last 5 months but the results are nil.Mental Yesra is rightit is completely damaged and it will take a very long time to recover its condition as before.

Some local residents had visited Yesra, but still nothing had changed.At this time, they could only wait for a miracle to come to help Yesra's condition.

"Sister, is there nothing we can do anymore?Yesra doesn't even talk or see us one bit" Yusto told Ian.

"Yusto,we have done everything for Yesra.I also tried to find other ways but nothing worked.We can only help Yesra according to her present circumstances and adjust to her.As much as possible we have to interact more with her.",reply Ian.

'When I promised to protect him..'

Ian who saw Yusto had suspected that he was blaming himself.He knew that Yusto must be very hurt to see the condition of Yesra at this time.But, Yusto is the same as him.Far in Ian's heart, Ian,he regretted not being able to protect his family.

/In the territory of the Empress's Palace, Pavilliun.

"Lady, Her Majesty the Empress and Prince Arhen are about to meet you."

"Hurry let him both come in, do not forget to prepare a snack and warm tea for the empress and Prince Arhen.Color is raining so take him to the living room"

"Good."

Arina who is currently pregnant with Prince Arhen's child lives in the pavilion in the Empress's palace at the request of the empress herself.This time is the first time Prince Arhen has seen her again after 5 months.

"Lady Arina good afternoon, how are you doing?", asked the Empress very kindly and gently.

"May the gods bless Ya-", Arina hendka bowed in greeting but was held captive by the Empress.

"Don't do that!You're pregnant, I'm afraid something happened to my granddaughter" she said anxiously.

"Ah, forgive me."reply Arina.

"It's okay.Also now there is my son who can take care of you up close.His condition has fully recovered.", the Empress pulled the hand of Prince Arhen closer to Arina.Prince Arhen turned his face away from Arina for some reason, because of a certain reason,so is Arina.

"Geez, it's not good for you to fight like that.My son, sit next to Arina." said the Queen commanding the Prince.

"Well," Prince Arhen sat next to Arina, as the Empress said.

"You will always stay in the same pavilion until your child is born.It is a pity that you must leave after the child is born.I hope that the child can see both parents before you leave." the Empress said sadly.

"Mother.I know it's hard.But this is my fault, don't want me to have to do it to atone for my sin" Prince Arhen said.

"But your son will grow up without knowing who his father and mother are.he will live a day here if I am not." The Empress replied almost crying.

Arina and Prince Arhen tried to appease the Empress.But that fact could not be avoided.Akan many enemies who target the illegitimate offspring of Prince Arhen.If only the Empress who helped, then it only lasted until the empress died.

"I'll be his guardian."

"Eh?"

A person arrived there, jet black hair and sharp bright green eyes, none other than Lucas.

"I'm sorry to hear the Queen's talk but I'm willing to be the guardian of the child and will support her with my strength" Lucas said.

Empress, Prince Arhen and Arina are really surprised to make it.A Lucas who has high self-esteem and social status that is not playful happily offers himself and promises to provide support for Arina's child and Prince Arhen.

"Wait for Her Highness the Grand Duke.What do you mean?.." asked Arina anxiously.

Lucas walked over to Arina and looked at Arina's pregnant belly.

"Whether he is an illegitimate child or not, a royal family, nobility, or slave, male or female, the child is still a child present at the grace of God.Every child deserves the love and support of family, friends, friends,or even an unknown person.And also.maybe this can be used as a substitute for my apology because it has hurt the feelings of Lady a few years ago.I am really sorry." said Lucas explained his purpose.

Arina was stunned.So she felt tight and her eyes felt sore.He wanted to cry hearing a direct statement from the man he had long loved, but his love was never reciprocated.Arina immediately took a deep breath and wiped her tears.

"I'm very grateful to you, Your Highness the Grand Duke.May God be with you every second of your life." Arina replied.

"It's my job to help Lady" Lucas said.

"Grand Duke, I don't know what to say but.I beg your help for my son in the future." said Prince Arhen, bowing respectfully to Lucas.

"It's an honor for me Prince.Then I say hello to the Empress, forgive my sassiness." Lucas said, kissing the Queen's back.

"Grand Duke.you are truly an inspiration to everyone.I hope my granddaughter will be as wise, firm and fair as you." said the Empress.

"I'll try my best, excuse me."

A thin smile was engraved on his face.Entah why he felt calm and relieved, but also a little sad.

In the hallway of the main palace, Lucas accidentally crossed paths with the Crown Prince.His face looked unkind.

"Your Majesty, is there a problem?" ask Lucas.

"The magic letter from Grand Duke Darvin has just arrived.Miss Yesra's state is very unstable! The Marchioness and Saint Zergan must act and go there right now!"

"?!.."

Seriate...
