Chapter 32: Sad

Allynna started walking along the beach, looking for shells. Lella followed behind her while carrying the collected seashells.

"Lella, how long have you been working in this mansion?" Allynna asked.

Lella is taken aback by Lady Allynna's question. She replies to her, "My parents are in charge of taking care of this mansion."

"Ah, so you grew up in this place?" 

"Yes, milady."

Allynna felt she had a bond with Lella. Because they both grew up on this remote island. After a few days of being cared for by Lella, she starts to like this little girl. 

"I think you're about my age. Am I right?"

"I'm 14 years old, My lady."

Allynna was surprised to hear they were three years apart. She stopped her step and looked at Lella, but the girl lowered her head, making it difficult for her to see Lella's face. She had just noticed that Lella had light tan skin and short black hair. And Lella is also shorter than her. 

"You're so young, Lella..." Allynna feels sorry to realize that such a small girl was already working for her. 

She thought Lella was at least the same age or a year younger than her. Lella should be enjoying her youth at this age. 

"How can you do all this? You are still a child?" 

Lella, who was still looking at her feet, smiled silently, hearing Allynna's concern about her. 

"My Lady, it is our duty to serve Sir Leon. It all started with my grandfather, my parents, and now me. I am prepared to carry on the task, and I'm so happy to do this task to help you, my Lady." 

Lella continues, "My Lady, I deserve punishment for talking too much. Please, My Lady, punish this ignorant servant—" She bowed lower to Allynna.

Allynna was rendered speechless. Why did this little girl suddenly ask for punishment!? Gosh! 

She feels puzzled by this kind of lifestyle. This time, Allynna had lived on this island and had never seen a royal or noble family's daily life in the capital. 

From the history book she was reading, Allynna knew this maid had the same characteristics as Lella had said earlier. She was just surprised to see a little girl being taught to do all this, to serve her master.

"Don't worry, Lella, I won't punish you. I think you and I could be friends," Allynna smiled when Lella was shocked by her words.

Lella couldn't hide her surprise at Allynna's unexpected words. 

How could she be friends with a noble lady!? If Crown Prince Eleon finds out, she will get the death penalty. Instantly, Lella felt her entire body turn icy.

While Lella was busy with her own thoughts, Allynna had a plan in her mind. She wanted to invite Lella to be her female servant in the capital. 

She started to like this little girl. Allynna also planned to upgrade Lella's position from a servant to an assistant. However, this was just her plan. She had to ask Leon's permission first.

"Lella, do you want to come to the Capital with me?" Allynna asked her opinion first before speaking to Leon.

"My lady—" Lela was shocked. A few seconds later, she nodded. She was happy with the idea. Lella had wanted to visit the capital, but that was just her dream. As a maid, she would never leave this place until she died.

But now, Lella has another option. She will become Lady Allynna's servant.

"That's great. I will talk with Sir Leon about this. You know we will be going to the capital tomorrow, right?" Lella nodes. "So, you better prepare your thing because you will follow us tomorrow."

Lella's eyes glimmered. She was happy to know about that. Finally, she has a chance to move to another place. Lella also felt very happy because she would be taking care of Lady Allynna, a very down-to-earth young lady, unlike any lady she had ever seen before who never spoke or cared about them.

After strolling on the beach, Allynna decided to return to her room. She would take a short nap before starting her math practice and dinner.

....

Allynna didn't realize that the sky was already dark outside. She was to immerse in her study. She felt exhausted and decided to rest.

However, shortly after, Lella called to inform her about dinner.

Allynna goes to the dining room. But she was disappointed when she didn't see Leon again.

Is he still busy?

She put aside her curiosity and sat on her chair. She started eating quietly. The food looked delicious; however, this time, she felt it tasted bland as she ate it. She felt lonely being in that big and majestic dining room. Only Lella was standing in the corner waiting for her, and no one else.

Allynna finished her dinner and went back to her room. She decided to review her math worksheet to divert her mind from thinking about Leon.

She sat on the study desk in the corner of her bedroom, and Allynna focused on her paper. However, she occasionally tried to hear if there was any movement outside. 

Allynna wanted to know if Leon had returned. She needs to get his permission to bring Lella to Mavaria.

But almost midnight, she didn't hear any movement outside. After thinking about it, she decided to send a text message to Leon.

[Allynna] Sir Leon, sorry to send you this text. I need to ask something.

After she sends the message, Allynna changes her clothes into her nightgown. She feels disappointed when she checks her cell phone, but Leon has not yet replied. 

She sends another text. 

[Allynna] I would like to ask for your permission. Could my female servant come with me to Mavaria? I'm sorry if I'm audacious to ask this. 

[Allynna] I hope to receive your reply, Sir Leon.

It was past midnight, and she had to go to bed soon. Tomorrow, she has to get up early to go to school. She places her cell phone on the bedside table, praying Leon will have breakfast with her tomorrow. 


Chapter 33: Old Seer

After Allynna is in deep sleep, Leon suddenly appears near the glass window in her room. He stood still for a moment, looking at her from afar.

Even though the room was dimly lit, only lit by the lamp on the side of the bed, Leon could clearly see that the girl's face looked flawless and innocent.

Leon felt something warm inside his heart, only staring at her face for a moment. He didn't realize a faint smile graced his face before slowly moving toward the bed and sitting on the side of the bed.

His hand moved towards her face but stopped his movement right before he touched her pale cheek. His eyebrow furrowed when he felt his heartbeat raced. 

He immediately stood up and retreated towards the window. After taking one last glance at her, he disappeared from the room.

...

Leon appears in a spacious bedroom in one of his castles at Mavaria, the capital city of the Bellsor Empire.

He stood still near the big window, staring at the full moon shining bright in the clear night sky. 

His mind travels back to the first time he heard an old seer reading his fate a few years ago.

"Your Highness, you are destined only to have one love, one passion for only one woman. You can only marry and make love with your fiance." That old Seer said.

At that time, Leon ignored the old Seer's words. 

Leon did not believe in fate and thought people had complete control over their lives. The prophecy of the Old Seer sounds ridiculous to him.

However, as time passed, when Leon grew older, what the Old Seer had said became a reality.

When Leon reached 17 years old, he realized that he had never been interested in girls. He had no feelings of attraction to girls. Not only was his mind and heart unattracted to girls, but he had never felt any arousal at all when close to a girl.

When Leon was 19 years old, he started to be concerned about his sexual condition. His strange sexual orientation, or asexual orientation, to be precise, bothered him. 

Because Leon does not feel attracted to women or men either, sometimes he thinks that his sexual orientation belongs to the non-binary group.

One day, when Leon and his friends celebrated their 20th birthday, one of his close friends advised him to test the prophecy. To find out if it is true or not. 

To his surprise, what the Old Seer said was true. Leon simply couldn't feel any lust, arousal, or sexual passion toward the most beautiful woman and man in the empire. 

Even several times Leon tried with others, the result remained the same. Still, Leon was grateful because he still felt compassion, care, and love, but in a non-sexual way.

However, as the only heir to the Bellsor Empire throne, Leon was frightened for the Kingdom's future. Yes, they are immortal, but he doesn't want to be an emperor forever. 

Leon wishes to love a woman. To mate and have children with her. And someday to crown his children as his successor. But how can he have a successor if he does not desire to mate?

A few weeks after his 20th birthday, Leon was scared and confused about it. His grandfather finally tells him the secret of his engagement when he is still young.

...

It was a lovely summer. Leon was a six-year-old boy. On one of the summer nights, a sleeping Leon suddenly shone brightly.

His parents and grandfather could feel the incredible power coming from a sleeping Leon. At the same time, not too far from their castle, a girl was born. She was born with a bright light radiating from her body. 

Leon's grandfather could sense the baby girl's strength, too. The power coming from Leon and the newborn baby was powerful and had a similar pattern.

He then secretly instructs his most trusted guards to bring the newborn baby and her parents to their castle. Once they gathered, Leon and the baby girl were betrothed by Leon's grandfather as a fiancee. Surprisingly, once the knot was tied, the light disappeared as if the universe blessed the engagement.

However, an unexpected and unfortunate incident occurred. Suddenly, the newborn baby was kidnapped two days later.

The situation was ridiculous because Leon was already bound by magic with his newborn fiancee.

If only the newborn baby didn't disappear, Leon wouldn't have to worry about not having a successor. But, with her kidnapping, the situation became uncertain.

...

Leon has grown up. He fully realizes that he can't have children with any other woman except his fiancé. So, he starts pursuing his missing fiancée. 

Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and months turned into years, but he couldn't find any trace of his missing fiancé. Several times, Leon wanted to give up looking for her.

Leon also thought his missing fiance was dead. 

However, The Old Seer said his fiancé is still alive. But the Seer didn't know where her location was. The Old Seer could only confirm that his fiancé was still breathing and existed in the empire. 

A glimmer of hope makes Leon start to look for her again.

Leon didn't want his inability to have children because if his mortal enemies found out, they would appear to snatch his throne. 

So, his mission to find his missing fiancé is top secret. Even his mother and father didn't know what he was doing. He looked for her alone, assisted by his trusted people.

Leon wandered all over the place looking for his missing fiance, but his efforts were in vain. He still can't find her. 

Nevertheless, earlier this year, when he started to quit looking for her, he accidentally bumped into her in the middle of the streets in Mavaria. That accidental meeting puts his life back on track.

But Leon didn't rush to pick her up. He let her live in Sarlun with her adoptive parents, who immensely love her. He just observed her from afar. 

Leon planned to pick her up after she finished her exams before she turned 17. However, when he learns that both of her adoptive parents died in a car accident, he is forced to change his plans.
