Trissya was sitting on the sofa reading a book in her hand. The woman had no other activities in the palace. Sometimes he gets bored and chooses to read books.

The sound of someone knocking on the door of the room. Trissya. The pretty girl's head was nongolous from the door. Trissya chuckles to see her beautiful daughter there. The woman moved her hand giving the code for the girl to enter.

The girl walked in to Trissya who was sitting on the sofa. Laureen sat on the floor and hugged her mother's knees. He melted his head into Trissya's lap.

Gently, Trissya rubbed Laureen's hair. For a moment the girl closed her eyes to feel the tenderness of a mother.

"Why, Honey?" Ask Trissya. Laureen opened her eyes as she looked up at her mother. Laureen just smiled a little.

The melodious voice replied, "I love someone, Mom."

Both of Trissya's eyebrows shot up, "Really? My daughter is an adult."

Laureen blushed with flushed cheeks. Trissya cupped her daughter's face and moved her head.

"Who is that guy?" Ask Trissya. Laureen imagined the handsome face, "Prince Chrean."

Trissya seemed to be thinking, "Herald king's son?"

Laureen nodded, "Yes, I hope... I want to tell this to Dad."

Trissya was silent for a moment. Then he smiled and replied, "Mom tell you."

Laureen looked at her mother's face. Trissya also looked at her daughter.

"Mother's happy?"

The question came from Laureen's lips. Trissya was confused as to what to answer. He couldn't possibly lie to his daughter all the time. Now, Laureen is an adult. Not once or twice did Laureen see Trissya crying because of Daeriel's attitude towards her. Yeah, that guy was very rude.

"Mother, just say it. Did you hurt Mom again?" Laureen asked as she clasped her mother's hand. Trissya shook her head with a smile, "No."

Laureen looked sad, "I don't understand. If you don't love me, why would you want to be with him?"

Trissya cupped her daughter's face and gently kissed Lauren's forehead.

"The reason I stick with him is you. Mother loves you. You're all I have."

Laureen hugged her mother, "When I wasn't Mom's son. But, Mom loves me so much. Unlike my own real mother, who repeatedly wanted to finish me off."

"Don't say that" whispered Trissya as she hugged her daughter.

"Mom, I actually love Mom. But, he was a little bit unable to show it properly," Laureen said. Trissya rolled her eyes, "Yes, she's a fool."

Laureen chuckles at her mother's slender words.

"Have you ever been in love?" Ask Laureen. Trissya nodded slowly, "Yes."

"Ah, definitely open up dad."

Trissya nodded with a laugh looking at her daughter's expression.

"The man was lucky to get love from my mother. Unlike that fierce and angry king Daeriel," lamented Laureen. Trissya let out a long sigh, "No problem. That man is gone."

Laureen surprised. He stared at his mother's two chocolate beads. Implied the wound from that gaze. Laureen realizes that Trissya still loves the mysterious man very much, even though he is now not in the world.

Laureen hugged her mother, "I'm sorry."

Trissya shook her head as she rubbed her daughter's hair. He said, "Why apologize? It's not your fault, honey."

Laureen let out a heavy sigh, "That guy must be very handsome. Is he better looking than Dad?"

"They're both handsome."

Laureen imagined the face of the man who had managed to steal her mother's heart.

That man is Raefal Agler Zeroun, your uncle, inner Trissya.

Yeah, Daeriel never talked about Raefal to his daughter. As Laureen knows, Daeriel is an only child. The man did not want his daughter to know things that had already passed.

The door of the room is knocked. The two women inside looked over. Turns out one of the servants.

"Sorry, Queen, Princess. King Daeriel asked Queen Natrissya and Princess Laureen for lunch."

Laureen nodded, "We'll be there soon."

~

When Daeriel was in the room, Trissya wanted to talk about her daughter's feelings for Daeriel. He was confused as to how to start.

Daeriel was reading a book in front of a mirror. The man turned to the mirror looking at the image of his wife who had been standing behind him.

"Why stand still?" Daeriel's question made him flinch in shock. Trissya shook her head quickly. The man turned to look at his wife.

"Curry," said Daeriel. Trissya walked over to her husband. Daeriel pulled Trissya's waist up to sit on her lap, "You say something?"

"This is Laureen," Trissya replied.

"What's wrong with her?"

"He loves someone" Trissya said as she occasionally glanced at Daeriel looking at the man's facial expression. However, Daeriel's expression seemed ordinary. Not showing a surprised expression or anything like that.

"Oh, then. The man should come and talk to me" Daeriel said flatly. Trissya seemed to think, "That fast?"

"Yes, Laureen is also an adult. What are you waiting for" Daeriel said, keeping his book to the table.

Trissya got up from Daeriel's thigh. The woman is deep, at least you should show your happiness, when you find out your daughter is in love for the first time.

Daeriel passed out. The man closed the door to the room. He smiled widely while prancing with excitement.

"Ye, ye, my daughter is all grown up. Ah, I want to have a grandchild."

Daeriel closed his mouth immediately. The man turned to the door to make sure his wife did not hear or see his absurdity.

Daeriel confirmed his red robe as he cleared his throat then passed away by changing his expression like a charismatic and authoritative king.

Meanwhile, Laureen was at the edge of the holy river. This afternoon he left with his horse.

Nah! He's not in the shower. He was washing both hands with water. Laureen stared at the reflection of her face on the surface of the water. The beautiful red dress girl with the crown tucked in her hair, it was her.

I heard footsteps. The girl looked. It turned out that the treteaas were watching him. Laureen tilted her head. The cute animals jumped into his lap.

Laureen laughed as she rubbed their hairy bodies. There was someone watching him at a distance not too far away.

A gentle breeze hit Laureen's face, making the strands of her hair move slightly. The girl realized the person's whereabouts without having to look at it.

The gentle wind just now told him.

"There seems to be danger" Laureen whispered to the little treteaas. They seem worried.

Laureen told them to leave. With a heavy heart, some of the treteaa ran away leaving the beautiful girl alone by the holy river.

Laureen stood up, but suddenly an arrow shot out and hit her back. The girl fell down while grimacing softly.

The man who managed to shoot him smiled triumphantly.  He muttered softly, "On target."

The black-colored blood flowed down her red dress. The man looked up at the strangely colored blood. Drucless blood is usually red, just like human blood.

Laureen suddenly disappeared from the man's vision. She's surprised. That really scared him.

Actually, Laureen was behind him earlier with yellow eyes lit up.

So, the Laureen that was pierced by the arrow that the man saw earlier was his hallucination. Of course that's Laureen's mind control power.

Sensing the presence of someone behind him, the man turned his head and gasped at the existence of Laureen with a wrathful expression.

"You... Since when?!" Scared screams.

Laureen smiled savagely making the drucless man goosebumps in fear.

"Your death will soon come."

Suddenly the forest was windy and for a long time the wind became strong hit the body of a man in front of Laureen. The drucless man fell to the ground due to the fastness of the coming wind. Laureen's yellow eyes were ceaselessly staring intently at the man.

The wind was also like a razor that slashed the skin on his body. Laureen smiled faintly looking at that

"Damn! You are truly cursed! You're damned! You are terrifying with this much power!" Shouted the drucless man.

Laureen tilted her head as she pointed her palm at the man. The man was frightened when his body suddenly lifted up according to Laureen's hand movements. His body is now floating in the air.

"You talk too much. I hate men who talk a lot."

Lauren's fingers moved and the man's limbs suddenly seemed to spin in the opposite direction, causing the sound of bones rubbing and cracking.

The man screamed as loudly as he made his voice echo in the forest.

The lifeless body fell to the ground. The man's blood-soaked orange diamond was thrown in front of Laureen.

The color of the Laureen's eyes changes normally. The girl stared blankly.

~

The day passed quickly. As Daeriel wished, Laureen brought Prince Chrean to the palace. The man came without his parents. He said the Herald king and queen Amethyst were busy.

The figure of a tall man with a beautiful face. The man who could make Princess Laureen fall in love.

Prince Chrean's polite demeanor amazed Daeriel and Trissya. They are happy when Laureen falls in love with the right man. They are very supportive of their relationship.

Daeriel wants the two of them to get to know each other better before they get married.

After a warm chat with king Daeriel and queen Natrissya, prince Chrean and princess Laureen take a walk in the garden behind Zeroun's palace. They spend time waiting for the night to come.

"Your mother is human, huh?" Chrean's sudden question made Laureen a little offended. He turned to the handsome man beside him and replied, "Yes."

"Emm, I see... But, your real mother is Queen Qwella, right?" Ask Chrean again. Laureen did not understand where the handsome man was talking about.

"Why indeed?" Tanya Laureen probed. Chrean stopped stepping. He held onto both of Laureen's arms gently.

"Human is not a good creature. They live by using each other. Different from us. But, no matter what, you are indeed the daughter of two drucless and another, the important thing is that you are beautiful."

Laureen knitted her brows, "What you're talking about is my mother. You can't just say it like that. My mother is not that kind of person. He even loves me, even though I'm not his real son."

An annoyed Laureen turned her back on Chrean. The girl folded her hands in front of her chest.

Chrean smiled and stepped in front of Laureen. He tried to dissipate the anger of the beautiful girl.

"Sorry, don't be angry. I'm wrong to talk."

Laureen looked at Chrean seriously. Their eyes stared at each other in silence. Chrean brought his face closer to grabbing Laureen's lips. However, the girl turned her face to the side.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Princess Laureen. I will not repeat my insolent words" Chrean pleaded.

There's no answer. Laureen didn't see Chrean's face in the least.

Chrean let out a heavy sigh while showing a sad expression, "Ah, how precious the queen of Natrissya is in your life."

After saying that, Laureen passed leaving Chrean standing glued. He looked at the back of the girl who was walking in a hurry and got further and further away from him.

"Daughter Laureen! Wait!" The man patted his forehead cursing his own words.

After being angry at Prince Chrean, Laureen chooses to end her relationship with the man. He did not want someone who was foreign to question his mother.

Even though he loved Prince Chrean, it did not mean that the man could talk at will. Laureen's sudden decision leaves Daeriel and Trissya confused.

The Herald King even had to come to Zeroun's palace to ask the princess of Laureen to be Chrean's companion. However, resolutely, Laureen refused.

The reason for that was that the man had already spoken disrespectfully to her.

~

The day changed quickly. Laureen looked glum after deciding not to continue her relationship with prince Chrean. He always hid it from Trissya and Daeriel.

However, as a mother, Trissya realized the change in her daughter's attitude.

Trissya often sees Laureen who is always sad in her room. The girl will change her facial expression and show a fake smile to convince her mother that she is okay.

Trissya knew, Laureen was lying. The woman entered Laureen's room and approached her daughter.

Laureen is seen sitting on the floor with her body leaning against the bed. He hugged his knees while crying. Trissya sat down beside him. Gently, the woman hugged Laureen.

"Fuck Prince," Laureen cried as she hugged her mother and melted her head into the chest of the number one woman in her life.

"If you love her, why did you decide to end your relationship?" Trissya asked softly. Laureen looked up at her mother's humble face.

"He said something bad about Mom. Which child accepts, if his parents are in such ugly?"

"Dear." Trissya tightened her embrace. Laureen felt a little calmer with her mother's embrace. She stopped crying. Trissya looked at her daughter's face. He cupped that face.

"Your eyes are puffy, son." Trissya wiped the remaining tears on both cheeks of her daughter.

Laureen hugged her mother again.

However, suddenly Trissya coughed softly. The woman let go of her embrace and turned her back to Laureen.

Perplexed, Laureen approached and saw blood on her mother's palm.

"Mom, is Mom sick?" Ask Laureen in panic.

Seeing the condition of his mother, Laureen called Daeriel.

The man immediately raised Trissya's body with bridal. Daeriel was shocked to feel how light Trissya's body was.

Was that woman so tormented to be by his side? To the point that his body was like a living skull.

You're late to realize, Daeriel.

The man put Trissya's weak body to bed. He immediately called the healer to check on his wife's condition.

Laureen looks so worried. He constantly held his mother's hand. It was as if if it was released just once, Trissya would completely disappear.

The physician who examined Trissya did not know the cause of why their queen was bleeding. They are confused, because Trissya's body condition is fine.

Unsatisfied with the healers' answers, Daeriel orders his soldiers to take Dharaa to Zeroun's palace. So far, the healer has been able to provide a reasonable excuse for Daeriel.

"This curse," murmured Laureen. Daeriel turned to his daughter, "Why, honey?"

"This curse hurt my mother" Laureen replied. Daeriel was sad. She hugged her daughter, "Don't say that. It's not a curse or anything."

"Mom shouldn't be close to me. This curse has hurt him. Dad, what should I do? I don't want you to do anything" Laureen cried in her father's arms.

"Calm down, son."

Not long after, Dharaa came with Daeriel's forces. The woman looked anxious and immediately checked Trissya who was sleeping on the bed.

Dharaa's trembling hand touched Trissya's forehead which felt so cold. The woman closed her eyes. Daeriel and Laureen noticed what the woman was doing.

Cold sweat flowed from his forehead.

Instantly both of her eyes opened wide followed by an irregular breath, as if the woman had run out of a marathon of dozens of kilo meters.

Daeriel approached Dhara, as did Laureen.

"What's wrong? Wh why? How's it?" Daeriel asked the doctor a question.

Dharaa was confused as to what to say. But, he finally replied, "It looks like queen Natrissya is at the end."

Laureen frowned confusedly, "What end do you mean, Aunt Physician?"

Dharaa swallowed the saliva, "His life won't be long."

Daeriel was shocked. Both of Laureen's eyebrows shot up at the woman's words. He nodded in disbelief.

Daeriel rubbed his hair rough.

"Is this because of the curse that is in my body?" Ask Laureen. Dharaa was nervous. He didn't want to say it. But, Laureen's words were correct.

"Aunt Physician, say something" Laureen said. Dharaa nodded weakly.

Laureen cried stifledly, "No one wants to be with me. But, mom was always with me. This curse hurt him. I. i..."

Daeriel hugged her daughter. Dharaa can't do much. He was also saddened by what happened to Trissya.

No one can help cure queen Trissya. The woman lay weakly unconscious.

~

Laureen and Daeriel were standing on the balcony of Zeroun's palace. They stared at the red moon in the dark sky.

"You're asking Goddess Amiless to save your mother?" Ask Daeriel. Laureen nodded softly, "This is all I can do, Father."

Daeriel sighed heavily, "Trissya is a good woman. He's really nice. I understand, I've done evil to him. I know what I'm doing is my stupidity and my selfishness."

Laureen looked at her father, "Mom said, Dad is stupid."

Daeriel laughed, he looked at his daughter and started telling stories. The man told him everything, the crimes he had committed, everything he had snatched from Trissya, everything without being missed in the slightest.

For the first time the man discussed his younger brother, Raefal. Daeriel did not want to constantly lie to her daughter.

It doesn't matter though that later he is considered a jerk by Laureen.

Laureen listened seriously. He knew Daeriel was a cruel king. However, what Daeriel told was far more cruel than he had expected all along.

Laureen could imagine how much Trissya had suffered during this time in Daeriel prison in the form of luxury Zeroun palace.

Laureen ran down the hallway of the palace. He would help his mother by carrying a diamond orange in her hand. The girl wanted to save her life by planting the diamond into her mother's body.

He did not want to lose his mother.

Laureen had arrived at the door of her mother's room. With a breath of breath, his hand moved to open the door of the room.

Laureen looked up when she saw the room. He did not find his mother's whereabouts. Natrissya's missing.

Laureen was really panicking. He told his father. Immediately, Daeriel ordered his entire army to search for Trissya.

In the darkness of the night, Trissya staggered. He entered the drucless forest. The woman didn't care about the night screams. He kept stepping. Sometimes his feet stumble over something that makes him fall. But he got up and kept going.

The terrifying trees around there were no longer scaring him. A shoulder-height rumble was no obstacle for him.

The passing black cloud clumps blocked the moon, making its red glow unable to reach the drucless world.

Despite the darkness, Trissya kept walking. Fresh blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. The woman coughed and fell down.

His hand moved wiping the blood from his chin. He got up and continued his steps.

He did not know, everyone in the palace was very panicked and worried about him. The troops enter the forest on their horses to find the queen of Zeroun.

Trissya fell on the banks of the holy river. The woman touched his chest. There's a diamond Raefal in there.

With the rest of her strength, the woman got up and stepped closer to the river.

The black cloud is over. Red light from the moon broke into the cracks of branches and tree leaves in the forest.

Trissya could clearly see the shadow of the moon on the surface of the holy river water. There was the sound of horses approaching.

Trissya turned around and saw the torches of the approaching troops. The woman retreated and dropped her tiny body into the river.

Trissya fell into the water and drowned.

She could see the red moon in the water. He blinked his eyes.

I can't believe this. But, I have no other choice. I want three things.

First, I want the curse of the Laureen to completely disappear from his body. Don't make him burdened with a grudge that doesn't belong to him. She is just a nice girl. Do not let the curse turn his good into evil.

Trissya coughed, her breathing started to run out. Water enters through his nose and begins to fill his lungs.

Second, it's something I've wanted for a long time. I want to be reborn and live happily with Raefal. I want to be with him. She was my first and last love. Love all my life. My heart has no place for another man. Just him, Raefal Agler Zeroun, my husband. I will love him now and forever.

Trissya shook her head to feel her nose that felt sore.

Third, in the next life, I don't want Daeriel to be the third person in my relationship with Raefal.

A pair of large, fiery red eyes appeared at the bottom of the river, right behind Trissya. Trissya will fall to the bottom of the holy river so deep.

Meanwhile, on land.

The soldiers are looking for their queen. Daeriel and Laureen were there as well. They're looking for Trissya around the woods.

The red moon is a silent witness.

Even when the night was gone, they were still looking for Trissya.

During the day, several troops descended into the river. They're looking for Trissya.

Laureen looked worried. She hasn't stopped crying since yesterday. The soldiers found the body of their queen.

Trissya is gone.

Laureen widened in shock. He immediately ran to the already stiffened body.

"Mother?!" Laureen shakes Trissya's body.

Daeriel hugged her daughter. He looked at Trissya's peaceful face which showed a happy smile.
