Chapter 1000: Ro, Where Are You? (2/2)

"Why are you saying sorry?" asked Raphael

People had crowded around the, for help Draco's gaze clouded He was searching for Minnerva's presence and didn't find her anywhere

Perhaps she was at the far end of the room and didn't hear the commotion Draco didn't want to die before he could at least lay his eyes on the woain

daiving him unbearable pain, and it er than his daughter so he could have easily overco that he didn't put into the calculation

Now, not only did he fail to get the immortality potion, but he also had to die such a painful and ehter

No as he said, if he went down, he would take Rowena doith him That wench shouldn't experience a happy ever after, after what she did to hiritted his teeth He tried to fake a concerned shter's actions I I should have been honest with you about her intention She did all this because because of her love for Julian"

"What?" Queen Lilith's voice interrupted Draco's words She had arrived at the scene and was shocked to hear what the"What do you mean she loves another etically, "I ahter properly She greithout acare of her"

Raphael felt his heart was like stabbed by the sah Draco Roseland's heart

He kne much Rowena cared about Julian, and he even suspected that she loved thatit from the mouth of Draco himself, the father of the woht it would

"No mother," Raphael turned to Queen Lilith and spoke in Rowena's defense However, even his voice didn't sound convincing "Julian is her best friend There "

"Tell me, Draco, what actually happened?" Queen Lilith had beco that Rowena didn't actually love Raphael Spilling the immortality potion at this point had beco

"Your Majesty ht the i back her dead boyfriend" Draco spoke with his last re to be as clear as possible "That's why when she found out from her uncle Jadeith that Raphael coet that immortality potion for Julian"

Queen Lilith stared at Draco in horror She pressed her lips, and anger was evident in her eyes She turned to Raphael and asked hi such a woman to our house? To Cretea??"

Raphael was dus about Rowena Even if it was true, wouldn't a father cover up for his daughter? Why would he do that to his own flesh and blood?

Raphael didn't want to believe Draco's words Not a single one

"Mother, there must be a mistake," he insisted "Rowena is not that kind of person"

Draco hated that he had to die so pathetically like this, but at least he could be happy that before he died, he could punish his stupid daughter for ruining his life

"I'm sorry" he said weakly before he closed his eyes "I have failed as a father"

He took his last breath when Esper, the God of healing, finally arrived Theon parties when suddenly a royalon his door and asked hi's order

"You're too late, Esper," Queen Lilith criticized thedown What did just happen? Wasn't this supposed to be the happiest night before his wedding to Rowena? Why did Rowena spill the i back Julian? And why did she kill her own father?

He couldn't wrap his head around everything He needed to find Rowena and ask her what had happened He would never believe the one-sided story from Draco He knew full well how badly Draco treated Rohen she was younger Maybe even until his death Draco still wanted to hurt Rowena

Yeah that must be it Raphael would always believe Rowena over Draco Roseland

"I need to find Rowena," he muttered and quickly walked away from the room

HisUnfortunately, when he arrived outside, he didn't see even Rowena's shadow Raphael looked around him in worry

"Ro where are you?"

We went to Thailand together in 2018, in 2019, we took our mom holiday in Europe (Holland, Italy, Swiss, and France), and then COVID happened This year, finally, after all travel restrictions are lifted, we can travel again

It was great, and I had so ain Sadly, I got sick right after I returned and have been spending two days at ho the tio back to writing regularly again soon

Anyway I think chapter 1000 is best closed with Draco's death, don't you think?
