Chapter One Hundred-Ten:
Akand Village
"What are you doing here?!" Neron surprisingly asked the woman who just came so suddenly.
"I came here to…" she stopped talking when they heard a baby's cry. "Is that your child?"
"Yes. And she had nothing to do with it."
"There is, Neron. And you know what I am talking about." She seriously answered. "And no matter what you avoid the prophecy you can do nothing about it. You and your wife will soon die."
"No!" suddenly his wife answered as she came closer to him. "Stay away from us, Princess Navina. It is not our daughter who is in the prophecy so please, let us live in peace."
"Lady Liraz, you don't understand the weigh that your child has so please--"
"Stop it, Navina!" Neron exclaimed and immediately grab her shoulder to pull her out of the house. "What do you want now?" he asked as soon as they went out.
"Your blood and your wife's blood are the only thing that can seal the upcoming destruction."
"And who was that?"
"He is 'The Joker'. He will be here soon to destroy everything just to make sure your child will fulfill the destiny of 'The Curse One' and he will do anything to his power to destroy everything that will halt him."
"Don't you dare drag my wife in this case, I will be the sole sacrifice and that is my final decision!" he firmly answered.
"It may kill you if you do that."
"I don't care! Because all I care is my family! I will save them both no matter what it takes!"

Reinhardt's Residence
"What kind of story is that?!" suddenly Kierna exclaimed after listening to 'The Joker's' story.
While I am thinking, what is the connection of his story to us? Why did he even tell us that story when none of what he said we understood? I really don't understand his reason.
"Maybe you're wondering what your connection is to the story I just told, right?" 'The Joker' asked.
"Yes." We both answered in unison.
"It is about the alter history." Suddenly Medea finally speaks up that we all surprised.
"Alter history?" Kieran answered in question. "What are you saying?"
"Oh," 'The Joker' happily claps from what Medea told. "This is good! And at least now someone knows the change of history that the Elders have made just to keep the whole truth."
"I don't know the exact story of the Alter history, and I just heard it from someone." Medea answered.
"At least you know something." 'The Joker' happily answered.
"What is the alter history?" I curiously asked them. "Tell us more about that alter history."
"Well, well! Let me finish first my story." He spoke.
"Why do you have to end your story if we have nothing to do with that story?" I replied.
"That's where you're wrong Prince Kanik because the last part of the story I'm going to tell has to do with the two of you."
"And what is that?" I curiously asked.
"That… you will know after I ended my story."

Edelweiss Kingdom
Del Gazini's Residence
That night I was surprised by the sudden arrival of my father.
"What is going father? Why are you here so sudden?" I asked as I came in at the office where he waited for me.
"I need to ask you something."
"Alright, what is it?" I asked and didn't question him even though it is kind of weird that he just suddenly came at this late at night.
"Have you done something that you are not supposed to do?" he asked and I don't even understand what he was saying.
"What are you saying, father?" I asked clueless.
It was as if my father had just gotten upset and immediately apologized. "I'm so sorry, Siara. Something is just bothering my mind. Anyway, I'm sorry for disturbing you this late at night. And I think I should go now. You may go back to rest."
"Father!" I was about to approach him but he quickly went out without letting me speak.
…
Outside…
"King Harkan!" I immediately approached him as soon as I came home and even though I know that it is late to work leaving me no choice but to left my wife alone, I still need some things to do that I couldn't left and I am so guilty of what I have done. "I am so sorry I am not here when you came. What can I do for you?"
"Nothing to worry about and I know that you have some duties to take care for that reason I know and understand why you weren't here. Anyway, it's too late so we're going back to Manu Palace." He spoke. "And one thing you shall remember always, protect Siara no matter what it takes. Understand?"
"Yes. I will."
Afterwards…
"Love," I called out on her as soon as I enter our room. "I saw your father leaving earlier. Why did your father come here so sudden did something happen to you again?" I worriedly asked him.
"No." she answered immediately. "But it's surprising because he suddenly came here and when I asked him why, he said something I didn't understand."
"Well, maybe he thinks a lot so he's just like that. But anyway, the most important thing is that you are fine now and I am so sorry that I left you after what happened to you…" I deeply sighed.
"No worries my Love. I do understand your duties. So, you have nothing to worry about." She said and hugs me.
I hug her back. "I promise you as soon I finish my duties, I'll spend more time with you."
"Uhm," she nodded under my embrace and for this small moment we have, I'll cherish this till forever.
