"Just you know white dragon..." Lucius paused while watching Evan to fix the barrier of the mystical forest, "I don't really like dragons so I won't approve a dragon to marry the witch. Do you understand?"

COUGH! COUGH!

Evan who is focused on making a temporary layer above the barrier's crack couldn't help but glance at Lulu who has a stern look on his little face. Evan suddenly cleared his throat.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I know that you like the witch!" Lucius replied bluntly. "You think I am dumb? Of course, I know that you like the witch! Besides, you are very transparent you know!"

Transparent?

That's new.

"You speak as if you have experienced liking someone," Evan suddenly changed the topic. "How could you know that I like her? Have you tried liking someone?"

Lulu suddenly became quiet. He pouted while staring at his hands with a sad reaction. When Evan noticed it, he immediately showed interest in the love life of a thousand-year-old being who remained a child for a long time.

"W-well... She was a pretty and kind girl..." Lucius mumbled with embarrassment and longing. "I met her when she was 8 years old. She's really dumb but she's very talented in singing... she even promised me to marry her..."

Evan raised his brows while listening to Lulu's story.

"B-but she grows up and since I can't grow up with her she married another man, but she's an idiot because she actually married a trash," Lucius explained while playing with his fingers. "Hmmph! It's not like I still like her... she became ugly when became 50 years old..."

"Really?" Evan smirked.

"Fine! you caught me, I lied... that dumb girl is always pretty..." Lucius mumbled as he averted his gaze. "Even on the day that she died, she remained pretty... BUT ANYWAY! Why am I talking about this?! Just admit it already! You like the witch, right?!"

It was Evan's turn to remain silent.

He immediately finished creating a temporary layer of a barrier above the original barrier to stop the monsters in Mystical Forest from escaping.

Temporary barriers can't officially block the crack of the barrier, some monsters will be able to destroy it, but they will be able to hold them in the meantime.

Evan crossed his arms before glancing at Lucius.

"Why are you interested to know?"

"Hmmph, I'm just trying to say that white dragons are not that annoying," Lulu mumbled before turning his back on the Duke. "I'm not saying it's you, I am talking about the white-haired lady Maria. She's not annoying."

The Duke nodded his head.

"I like Gabriella," Evan suddenly said. "What will you do?"

Lucius suddenly remembered that Gabriella has a crush on the Duke.

"Lucky..." Lulu rolled his little eyes.

"Hmmm?"

"The witch is pretty, and many trash tried to covet her even if they know that she had a son," Lulu suddenly spoke. "Confess to her, if she approves of you then marry her. White dragons are not that annoying after all."

"Ah?" Evan reacted.

"Nevermind! Let's go, I already want to take the wings of that Golden Dragon! I'm gonna get killed if Ayan is not caught!" Lulu shouted at Evan. "I'm gonna teleport to the witch's house, wanna come?"

Evan who was drained for using too much mana agreed to the child-like being.

"Okay," Evan mumbled before glancing at his favorite horse, Ravena. "I'll take Ravena then..."

"Make it faster," Lucian told him with a frown.

The magical being watched the Duke walking towards a black horse. While watching Evan's movements, a memory from a hundred years ago suddenly came across Lucius' mind. The child-like being frowned upon recalling that memory.

No one will know it...

Evan will never dare to know it.

"You're correct Lucius, I am dumb for marrying that kind of man," A beautiful woman sniffled while caressing her big stomach. "But I wonder... if you are able to grow up like normal people... Do you think you'll have a happily ever after with me?"

A child-like being answered that question. "If I was able to grow up like normal people, I'll treat you right."

Peter Pan's Wendy...

No one knows it...

Lulu will never tell to anyone.

That... Lucius' first love is actually... a Chavez ancestor.

His first love is Evan's greatest grandmother.

•••••••••••

THUG!

A rumble of loud thunder echoed from the sky as soon as a mysterious man appeared at the corridors of Velasquez Manor. A woman wearing a maid's dress stand firmly in front of that man.

"As expected, I guess the future never tells a lie," A woman with short crimson hair cackled as she stares at a man who had Golden hair. A mysterious smile appeared on her face. "But even if I know that you will go here, what the f*ck are you doing here, you f*cker?!"

who just arrived frowned as he saw the red-haired woman.

"How can you call me like that, Selena?" The previous king asked. He took a few steps to get near to the woman. "Your ability to have a glimpse of the past and future is quite troublesome. So how are you, My Lady?"

"Get out of here, Ayan," Selena told him calmly with disgust. "And don't call my name like that, it's disgusting."

The previous king stopped walking in front of Gabriella's Lady-In-Waiting.

"Although I don't know what are you doing here, Selena. I'm not here for you," Ayan replied with a smirk. "I'm just curious about Riella's daughter. If you will continue to stand in my way, then I'll no choice but to get you out."

"Oho? What are you going to do, kill me? You won't be able to do that. We had an unbreakable contract," Selena replied with a sneer. "So get out, I won't let you get past to me. I won't be able to rip Gabriella's fortune if I let a f*cker like you in."

"Oh? Since when did you become a money-grubber? As far as I know, you're the richest woman in this land," Ayan cackled before grabbing Selena's arm. "I've never thought that you'll be serving someone like this."

Selena raised her brows as she throws Ayan's arms away from her.

"Don't touch me, bastard."

"You know, just be glad that I didn't kill anyone yet. But If you continue to stand in my way, I'll have no choice but to visit the Royal Palace first," Ayan told her when his dangerous eyes glowed along with a flash of lightning that reflected from the windows. "It will be the worst-case scenario for you..."

"Royal palace huh? Are you threatening me?" Selena asked.

THUG!

Another thunder echoed from the sky.

"I do."

Selena who had a usual cocky smile on her face disappeared when Ayan leaned his face to her. Her fox-like traits became stern and serious as she glared at the previous king.

PAK!

The Lady-In-Waiting slapped the previous king.

"Don't you dare, Ayan," Selena threatened him. Her fiery eyes glowed into crimson red as she stared at the face of the man that she hated the most. "I already let you ruin my life once. If you did something unforgivable again, I will send you to hell myself."

"HAHAHA," Ayan laughed manically while caressing his cheeks. "Still feisty as ever. I just came out of that prison and yet this is how you treat me. You never change."

Selena remained silent.

"Don't worry," Ayan whispered to her as he walked past to Selena. "I won't kill our son yet. I promise that I won't touch the son who betrayed me yet, but in exchange, let me satisfy my curiosity, okay?"

"You're still obsessed with Riella huh?" Selena mocked him. "I'm sorry to say that Gabriella is different from her mother. You'll regret this."

"Get out of my way," Ayan threatened her. "I'm starting to lose my patience, "

Ayan lightly pushed Selena's shoulder as he continued to walk away from her with a smirk on his face. Selena can't help but to comply when she heard that threat from her disgusting sperm donor.

That's right...

This is Selena's biggest secret that even Gabriella shouldn't know.

Ian's mother...

Is none other than her.

"Disgusting f*cker," Selena mumbled as he clenched her fist. "Because of you, I can't even introduce myself to him," She mumbled angrily.

Selena turned her head as she watched the previous king to walk towards Gabriella's room. A smirk appeared on her face as she sat on the floor while glaring and cursing at the man who ruined her life.

"Even if I let you in, you won't be able to change your fate," Selena laughed before brushing her crimson hair. "Tyrant's return my ass. You'll still suffer, Ayan."

"Future never tells a lie, bastard."
