Chapter 7

Queen Kenna was still serving her sentence in the Main Tower, which was far from the main palace. King Raven was also there to watch Queen Kenna undergo treatment with the palace physician. The palace physician examined Queen Kenna quickly and seriously.

“How is Queen Kenna, Physician?” King Raven was truly panicked, fearing that Queen Kenna might leave him at any moment, just as she had when they first met and King Raven had given her the antidote.

“Your Majesty, there is only one way to save Queen Kenna's life.” The physician said while King Raven listened with hopeful anticipation.

“The wound on her back is indeed severe, but everything can be resolved with the ‘Snow Essence Flower,’ which only grows in the Pandora Forest, and it must be obtained from Mount Fuji.”

“That means... we have to endure the snow from Mount Fuji, right?” Zyra asked.

“Yes, and with that medicine, Queen Kenna can be healed,”

“I'll go there!” King Raven declared.

King Raven immediately ordered the guards and soldiers.

“Prepare our best troops! I will go to Mount Fuji and bring back the Snow Essence Flower for Queen Kenna! I don't want anything worse to happen to Queen Kenna.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Assistant Alvin immediately left and ordered the soldiers to head to Mount Fuji.

King Raven still gazed at Queen Kenna's pale and weak face, like a wilted rose amid a spring storm. His heart burned with the fire of love and determination to save her, like the flames blazing at the altar of the ancestral temple. The weakened Kenna still remembered their fierce battle, when both had transformed into werewolves and Celine attacked her with unstoppable strength, leaving gaping wounds on her body.

Meanwhile, behind the forbidden palace walls, Celine heard the news from one of her servants that King Raven planned to go to Pandora, even if it meant crossing Mount Fuji, to find a cure for Kenna's wounds. Celine's emotions immediately reached a peak, causing her heart to boil as well. In Celine's room was her father, who had just arrived at the palace, Mr. Malakai Valois.

“How is Queen Kenna? Has she not regained consciousness yet?” he asked one of the servants who had been spying on Queen Kenna earlier.

“Queen Kenna has not regained consciousness, Lady Celine. But I heard that King Raven is heading to Mount Fuji to obtain the antidote from your power.” The servant explained.

BRAK!

“You know yourself, Father, King Raven is now on Queen Kenna's side. I must plan something to prevent King Raven from obtaining the antidote, even if I have to go through Mount Fuji!”

“Don't be reckless, Celine. Rather than making King Raven suspicious of you, it would be better for you to plan carefully,” warned her father.

Celine furrowed her brow. What could her father have planned that would oppose her decision? However, her father remained calm, smiling as if without a care in the world, unlike her, whose breathing was already irregular from her emotions. Her hands were clenched tightly, her face flushed red, and her eyes filled with hatred and extraordinary jealousy.

“Does Father have another plan?”

"I have a better and more subtle plan to bring down Kenna without King Raven finding out. I'm sure King Raven will focus all his attention on you rather than Queen Kenna. And you will easily depose Queen Kenna and take her place. But you must control your emotions first; this plan will never go smoothly if you rely solely on your emotions and strength." explained Lord Malakai Valois.

“What has Father planned?” Mr. Malakai Valois glanced at the maids and servants surrounding Concubine Celine.

“Go!” Celine ordered. They immediately stepped back and closed the large wooden door. Mr. Malakai Valois whispered something to Celine, and the girl smiled upon hearing her father's plan.

“Alright, you win this time, Kenna. But not the days to come.” The two of them exchanged glances, their plans already smoothly laid out.

The long journey forced King Raven to pause when he arrived at Mount Fuji. King Raven walked up Mount Fuji, accompanied by his assistant Alvin and several loyal guards.

“Guards, make sure you are all prepared to face the dangers of this mountain. The Snow Essence Flower only grows on the most dangerous peak of the mountain,” King Raven warned them all.

“Yes, Your Majesty. We are ready to protect Your Majesty with our lives.” replied the Chief Guard.

King Raven took a deep breath before speaking to them again.

“I must save Kenna. She is everything to me.”

Suddenly, they heard a rumbling sound in the distance, more precisely above Mount Fuji.

“Your Majesty, the snowstorm is about to arrive! We must find shelter!” the Chief Guard advised.

“No, we must keep going! The Snow Essence Flower won't wait for us!” King Raven insisted, determined to heal Kenna.

King Raven and his guards continued forward, despite the fierce snowstorm. King Raven shouted above the wind.

“We must reach the summit before the storm worsens!”

“Your Majesty, our visibility is already very low! The risk is too high!” replied the Chief Guard, shouting so that everyone could hear.

“The risk is meaningless if Kenna doesn't survive! Let's keep going!” King Raven said in a firm tone. Suddenly, King Raven slipped and almost fell into the ravine.

“Your Majesty, be careful!” The Chief Guard pulled King Raven back up. King Raven himself was still breathing heavily.

“Thank you... We must continue. I see something up there.” King Raven pointed upward, and his guards saw a beautiful white flower in the middle of the snowstorm.

King Raven and his guards approached the beautiful white flower. He admired how dazzling and beautiful the Snow Essence Flower was from afar.

“Snow Essence Flower... Finally, I've found it! Let's get closer, quickly!” King Raven and the other guards quickly approached, but the closer they got, the colder they felt.

“We must transform into wolves if we want to stay warm, King Raven,” suggested the Guard Captain.

“You're right, it's time to transform!!! AUUUU!!!” The howl was so loud it echoed down Mount Fuji. They transformed into massive wolves and sprinted at lightning speed using their strength to reach the Pandora Forest of Mount Fuji. They then transformed back into humans.

“Your Majesty, this is truly magical!” exclaimed the Chief Guard. King Raven carefully picked the flower.

“I will save Kenna with this flower.”

They returned to the palace, and King Raven immediately brought the Snow Essence Flower to Kenna's room.

King Raven brought the Snow Essence Flower to Kenna's room and found the court physician already waiting.

“Your Majesty, we are ready to provide the best care for Queen Kenna.” said the Court Physician. King Raven took the Snow Essence Flower.

“Give this to the Physician; it is the only antidote to save Kenna.”

The physician immediately made a potion from the Snow Essence Flower and gave it to Kenna. A few hours later... Kenna woke up and looked at King Raven with weak but loving eyes.

“King Raven, I feel better now,” Kenna called out in a weak voice.

“Kenna, I'm so glad you're awake! I almost lost you.” Unnoticed, tears suddenly welled up in King Raven's eyes. A touching atmosphere filled the room.

Suddenly, Celine appeared at the door with a sly expression. The girl entered the Main Tower, where Queen Kenna was serving her sentence despite being ill. She entered a room where Queen Kenna sat with a sweet smile and flowers in her hands.

“Queen Kenna, I'm so glad to see you've regained consciousness! I brought your favorite flowers as a token of my affection.” Celine carried a beautiful yellow tulip.

King Raven watched Celine suspiciously but did not show his suspicion.

“Thank you, Celine... you're so kind to me,” Kenna replied weakly.

“I will always be kind to you, Queen Kenna. You are like my own sister in this palace.” Celine approached Kenna and hugged her gently while gazing at King Raven with sly eyes.

“What is really behind her sweet smile? I must remain vigilant.” He thought. King Raven began to suspect Celine.
