Arielle imdiately got up and ran to hug Otis. Sadness and relief jumbled up together. She was speechless. The things that happened to her were beyond comprehension. Who would have thought that she was still a descendant of Princess Cecil?
Now it all made sense. Arielle had almost the sa power as Amadea and the Moon Goddess. Otis had Amadea’s power to control flas as well, but he was not one of the chosen ones. The reason Arielle and Ronan could beco mates was because she still had the blood of Cecil and Amadea’s little daughter, while Ronan’s body was bound by Amadea’s curse.
Arielle and Ronan were naturally bound by fate.
Arielle was not just the descendant of the Moon Goddess, she was chosen specially.
It turned out that Arielle was the key to the curse itself. Her existence was the only way to lift the curse on all descendants of King Theodore. King Theodore had separated Amadea from Cecil who was pregnant with her daughter. Thus, Amadea tied part of himself to Theodore’s descendants. If Theodore’s descendants managed to bring back his daughter, then Amadea would release the curse and make the curse a blessing of new power.
Arielle understood the reason Maxieno said that the curse Ronan brought was almost the sa as the agreent she made with the dragon.
Arielle felt weak. She called Ronan several tis to ask about the man’s condition.
"Lord Otis! Ronan didn’t answer !" said Arielle in panic because for the last few days, she couldn’t feel anything in her head. She was worried that sothing had happened to her husband.
Arielle had tried to think positively because she had also to do sothing back then, but now she felt that sothing might have happened to her husband.
Otis frowned when he saw a strange necklace he had never seen hanging around Arielle’s neck.
"Arielle, where did you get this from?" Otis asked curiously.
Arielle lowered her head to look at the gold necklace around her neck. She picked it up and saw a pendant in the shape of a red snowdrop that was probably made of ruby. Arielle also just realized this thing.
"I—"
"Use it to guard Birwick Mountain, Arielle. You are the successor of Birwick Mountain," soone muttered in her head, causing Arielle to look back.
Two fireflies flew for a while above the flower field, then disappeared as the sun rose on the eastern horizon. Otis heard the sa thing. Then, the voice could be heard again. It was a female voice that echoed in her head. When she asked Maxieno, the man said he heard nothing.
Until Otis realized that it was the voice of Princess Cecil who had rested in peace in the afterlife. Princess Cecil’s voice soothed them that now she would live happily with Amadea in her next life. There was no more anger left in this world because they had already t their daughter.
Otis and so people out there who had the sa traits as him and Arielle were of the sa lineage with Princess Cecil as their mother and Amadea as their father. There was only one special person among them, it was Arielle who had been destined to accept the task of guarding Birwick Mountain in place of Amadea.
Arielle tightly held the snowdrop flower pendant hanging around her neck.
"I... want to go back to Northendelll," she muttered, making Otis smile.
"Yes. We’ll take you."
Otis held Arielle’s hand and approached Maxieno who was feeling restless and annoyed because Arielle had not co. Otis also suddenly shouted back to Maxieno for wanting to send Arielle back to Northendell right away.
"Where have you two been from!?" Maxieno snapped because he had waited for long.
"Maxieno, I need your help," Arielle said.
"I also need you to bring back Xavier’s head right now. Abigail is about to lay her eggs."
Arielle nodded quickly. "Yes! That’s why I need you to send back to Northendell Palace, since I haven’t been able to reach Ronan for the past few days."
"Ugh... you two really are a couple with too much drama! I don’t want to know. No matter what happens to that human, you must return Xavier’s head as you promised!"
"Yes! I promise!"
Maxieno didn’t want to waste any more ti. He instantly transford into a dragon, and Arielle climbed onto his back. Otis backed away to make room for Maxieno to fly.
"Lord Otis, I’m sorry I can’t accompany you back to the castle. I must return to Northendell right away."
"It’s okay. I have another dragon that will take back to the castle!"
A teenager appeared behind a tree and waved his hand at Arielle. Arielle didn’t recognize him until she saw the yellow color of his skin. She blinked in disbelief. It was Luffy. The young boy, who was as tall as Sasha, now had almost the height of Otis’s shoulders in less than a month!
"You don’t have to worry about , Arielle. Please convey my apologies to Ronan for making him wait so long. I will take good care of Arthur and Irene."
Arielle once again thanked Otis and Luffy. She promised to co back and pick up Arthur and Irene as soon as possible.
Maxieno then slid into the air at high speed. Arielle clutched her beating heart. She would see Ronan again. Arielle hoped the man was fine and had an important eting, so he ignored her call.
Arielle held the necklace given by Princess Cecil and Amadea until it glowed red. Her eyes closed as Maxieno flew through the thick clouds until the green scenery changed into white.
The snow was falling heavily and piled high. Arielle started to shiver because she was only wearing a thin shirt with ripped sleeves because of Darui’s bite and her pants had turned brown with dirt. Arielle ward herself by activating the flow of mana within her so that the heat could warm her body.
White. That was all Arielle could see. As far as her eyes could see, she only saw white snow.
