Capítulo 108: "Until I lie down on my deathbed"

Jerissa gaped in shock. She knew that King Ezekiel loved his dear sister very much. She could not understand why he wanted to spy on her.

Seeing the palace attendant's reaction, Ezekiel told her, "As for the reason why I asked you to do this… I cannot tell you yet. You have to prove to me that you will serve only me."

"Your Majesty… Princess Marvella is a lovely lady, and she has been good to me."

"I know, Jerissa. I know that my sister is that kind of person. But there are some things that I must do for our family, and for the Nation," he sighed, "You will understand it someday, when you do the task… So, do you accept it?" the king gazed at her lilac-colored irises.

Jerissa gulped in nervousness. King Ezekiel asked if she would accept the secret task, but his piercing gaze seemed to order her to accept it. What should she do? Would she risk the trust given to her by Marvella, and follow the king of Leoniva?
